Possible Causes
Liquid spill under control knobs, Stuck or shorted ignition switch, Faulty spark generator module, Shorted ignition wiring
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off all burners and unplug the cooktop or switch off the circuit breaker. Do not leave the appliance clicking continuously.
User actions:
- Remove burner knobs and dry the area thoroughly if there was a recent spill or cleaning.
- Allow the cooktop to air dry for several hours; a fan can speed this up.
Technician actions:
- Test each ignition switch for continuity; a switch that remains closed when not pressed must be replaced.
- Inspect ignition wiring for shorts to chassis.
- If switches and wiring are good, replace the spark generator module.
