Possible Causes

Stuck or wet burner switch, Moisture in ignition system from spills, Shorted ignition switch harness, Faulty spark module sensing circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off all burners. If clicking continues, unplug the appliance or switch off the breaker to stop sparking.

  • Dry the area: Remove burner caps and wipe up any visible moisture. Allow the cooktop to air dry for several hours; use a fan if needed.
  • Operate knobs: With power off, rotate each burner knob several times to free any stuck switches.
  • Inspect switches: Access the burner valve switches under the top. Look for signs of corrosion or water intrusion. Replace any switches that appear damaged or remain closed when the knob is off.
  • Module check: If switches are good but clicking persists whenever power is applied, the spark module may be faulty and require replacement.

Avoid excessive water when cleaning the cooktop; use a damp cloth rather than pouring liquids.
