Gas burner clicks continuously even after the flame is established.

Safety first: Turn off the burner and close the gas valve if you smell gas. Disconnect the appliance from mains power before internal work.

• Step 1 – Dry and clean: If a pot boiled over or the hob was recently cleaned, moisture may cause continuous sparking. Dry the burner, electrode, and surrounding area thoroughly.
• Step 2 – Clean electrode and burner: Remove food debris and grease from the electrode and burner ports using a soft brush.
• Step 3 – Check burner seating: Ensure the burner cap and head are correctly positioned and stable, providing a good ground path.
• Step 4 – Inspect ignition switches (technician): Lift the top and check that the ignition microswitch on the affected burner valve is not stuck in the closed position. Replace the switch if it does not open when the knob is released.
• Step 5 – Replace ignition module: If switches and electrodes are fine but clicking persists, the ignition module may be defective and should be replaced.

Do not leave the cooktop operating with continuous sparking, as it can damage components and create unnecessary ignition sources.
