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.
