Possible Causes
Wet or shorted ignition switch under knob, Moisture on burner or electrode, Faulty spark generator module, Misadjusted knob shaft
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn all burners off and disconnect the appliance from mains power to stop sparking.
Steps:
- Dry the area: Remove burner caps and knobs. Wipe away any spills and allow the cooktop to dry for several hours. You can use gentle warm air (not open flame) to speed drying.
- Inspect ignition switches: Under each knob is a small switch. Check for signs of corrosion or liquid ingress.
- Test individually: Reconnect power and turn on one burner at a time. If sparking continues even with all knobs off, the spark generator may be faulty.
- Replace faulty parts: Replace the affected ignition switch harness or spark generator module if drying does not resolve the issue.
