Stuck ignition sensing or wet igniter
Gas burner clicks continuously even after flame is lit on LG gas range or cooktop.

Possible Causes
Moisture on igniter or burner head, Misaligned burner cap, Faulty spark module sensing circuit, Cracked igniter insulator causing poor flame sensing
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the burner. Avoid touching hot parts.
- Dry components: If the cooktop was recently cleaned or something boiled over, moisture may be causing continuous clicking. Turn off power and allow the cooktop to dry for several hours, or use a fan to speed drying.
- Check burner cap alignment: Ensure the burner caps are properly seated and centered on the burner bases. Misalignment can prevent proper flame sensing.
- Clean igniters: Gently clean the igniter tips and surrounding area to remove food or grease buildup.
- Inspect igniter: If the porcelain is cracked or the igniter is loose, replace the igniter electrode.
- Module replacement: If clicking persists on all burners even when dry and properly assembled, the spark module may be defective and require replacement.
