Possible Causes
Stuck or shorted ignition switch on a control knob, moisture in switch from cleaning spills, shorted ignition wiring
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the appliance from mains power before accessing controls.
- Dry the area: If the issue started after a spill or cleaning, allow the cooktop to dry completely for several hours. You can gently blow warm (not hot) air around the knobs.
- Identify faulty switch: Turn each knob one at a time. If clicking stops when a specific knob is moved or pressed, its switch may be stuck.
- Access switches: Remove the cooktop surface to expose the ignition switches on the gas valves. Inspect for moisture or corrosion.
- Replace switch: If a switch is visibly damaged or tests shorted with a multimeter, replace that ignition switch.
- Check wiring: Inspect ignition wiring for insulation damage that could cause a short to chassis.
