This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Safety: Continuous sparking can ignite any leaked gas. Ensure all burners are off and there is no gas smell.

Dry the area:
- Unplug the appliance or switch off power.
- Remove control knobs.
- Wipe around the shaft area to remove moisture or spills.
- Allow several hours to dry fully.
Test again: Restore power and check if clicking stops when all knobs are off.
If clicking continues: One or more ignition switches may be stuck closed, or the spark generator is faulty. A technician should identify and replace the defective part.
