Possible Causes

Liquid spill under control knobs, Stuck microswitch on gas tap, Faulty ignition generator, Shorted ignition wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the gas supply if you suspect gas leakage. Avoid leaving the hob unattended while it is clicking.

  • Unplug or isolate power: Disconnect the hob from the electrical supply to stop the clicking.
  • Dry the area: Remove control knobs and gently dry around the gas taps and ignition switches with a cloth. Allow several hours for moisture to evaporate.
  • Check for spills: Clean any food or liquid residue from around the burners and control panel.

If clicking resumes as soon as power is restored and the hob is dry, a stuck ignition switch or faulty ignition generator may need replacement by a technician.
