Possible Causes
Wet or shorted burner valve switch, Liquid spill under control knobs, Shorted ignition wiring, Faulty spark module sensing circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the range or switch off power. Close the gas supply if you will remove knobs or panels.
Steps:
- Remove all burner control knobs and dry the area thoroughly, especially after spills or cleaning.
- Allow the cooktop to air dry for several hours; use a fan to speed drying.
- If clicking persists, access the burner valve switches and inspect for moisture or corrosion. Replace any switch that appears damaged or remains closed when the knob is off.
If all switches test good, the spark ignition module may be faulty and require replacement.
