GE Profile oven and range. Just outta the blue the pilot light on one of the burners starts clicking on and off, on and off. It's driving me crazy! Now, the real problem: I'm hosting a dinner party tomorrow night for 40 people and need that range. Is it safe to use it even though it's clicking?GE Profile oven and range.

I just cleaned my stove today and the electric current keeps clicking even though I have checked and I know the burner has been turned off. Do I need to get someone here immeditely or can I call someone to come tomorrow a.m.?

If you have standing pilots, make sure the pilot for the oven/broiler is lit as well. When you turn the thermostat up to call for heat, you should see the pilot get larger. That larger pilot flame heats a hydraulic sensor and opens the main burner valve.
Check the electronic starter/pilot ignition on the bottom oven burner. It may be dirty, too far away from the pilot gas or the temp sensor on the pilot light flame may need replacing.
There is not pilot light on the stove top since the burner is activated by a spark generate by high voltage to a small ceramic disk with a wire protruding from it by the burner.
You have the have AC Power to the stove and you should hear a clicking when you slightly turn on the burner. Once the burner is on fire then turn the burner control to the desired temperature. If the burner will not light after 4 seconds of clicking sounds turn the burner control off and make sure the round gas diffuser on top of the burner is correctly seated on the burner. It should lock in place and is removable for daily cleaning of the stove. Now try the burner control again in the light position for no more than four seconds to see if it lights.
Do you smell gas? Do you hear clicking when slightly turning the burner knob? If yes to both the stove is working and the top of the burner is not seated correctly. If no on either or both you may have a stove, electrical or gas problem.
Gas range repair aid -such as, my oven won't work or heat up, which style of gas oven do I have, the glow coil gets red but my oven burner will not light.
I have a GE Gas Stove XL44 the stove top buners don't light by themselves without manual lighting. When I turn on the buner knob the buner doesn't click. Also I used my self- cleaning oven for the first time and stopped it before the time was up after that is when the stove top buners wouldn't light by theirselves.
Turn the power off to the oven.Gain access to the burners on the oven,at the end of the burner there are orfices.Slide the burners out and remove the orfices (they will have a hole in them) or get a paper clip and clean the holes out.Also where the ignitor sparks at on the burner,look at the burner holes and make sure there clean,let me know how you make out.
The pilot light is lit to light the main burner. First off, is your pilot light lit or is the igniter lit. There are two thermal sensor in the oven. One is above your pilot light and will not let the pilot light stay lit unless there is a flame. Secondly, you have a thermal sensor in your oven wired all the way to the switch to turn the oven on. If it thinks that it is at temp, then it will never turn on. This sensor may become bad or the case of my oven break. But if these are good, you many have a clogged burning unit underneath. Cleaning according to the owners manual may correct that. Check your owners manual to see what is user serviceable. Gas is nothing to play with.
