Stove top in lock mode

Hello,

One of the switches that turn on the spark when the burner is turned on has became stuck so even when the burner is turned off it still thinks its turned on. It very well could be the one for teh right front burner or any of the other 3 switches.
Depending on your mechanical ability its not too hard to figure out which one it is. What ya need to do is remove the panel over the burner valves so ya can get to the switches which slip over the stem of the burner valves and remove them in the off position and use a meter set to measure continuity and check each of the 4 switches when in the off position and see which one has a circuit (continuity) when off..when you figure which one has continuity when off that will be the one that is causing the stove to spark when off. Be sure to check all 4 since more than 1 could be bad.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO THAT AND CHECK WHICH SWITCH IS BAD BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE POWER TO THE STOVE

Hi shadnaz,

A common issue with water causing the problem. I'd suggest following my below Tip on fixing the problem:

Interesting, I'm looking for a solution to a similar issue. Our new (7 month old) 30'' Wolf Range has this issue. When both front burners are light, the back burner's electronic starter begins to click, but only when you put a pan on the front left burner. I believe the iron/steel in the pan is causing a magnetic field thats starting the rear burner to go off.. just don't know.. will report back after the repair person comes.

Does the burner attempt to re-ignite after it goes out? If so, it's probably the therocouple. If not, it could be the burner valve. Be sure the caps and rings are correctly seated on the burners and be sure to firmly press the burner knob down to start the flame.

Wow this problem sounds exactly like my landlords problem only he is just now saying he is learning of the problem. You even have the age of the stove correct.

Please do not use the stove if the element is viable because of broken glass, this could become a danger to yourself.

Look at the cost of a new stove, you should be able to get one for
around 400.00. One of my customers had a glass top with 4 burners,
they had the same thing happen, the cost to replace the top was
1,200.00. So I would assume that you can get a new stove with 4
burners less then it would cost to replace the part on a stove you don't like. Maybe there is a LOWES around you to look at stoves,
they seem to be everywhere,like death and taxes.

As for putting a 4 burner top on a stove that has 2 with grill, I don't think it can be done without the extra cost of adding the parts to run the other 2 burners, so like I said in the long run,it just might be cheaper to but a new stove. It should not be a big deal to remove the exhaust from the grill part of the stove.

I looked at the model# you put down,and it does not have a grill,
from what I see, there are 4 burners and a downdraft vent in between the 4 burners, there are 6 models with this part # and none have a grill,only the downdraft vent.

If the model# is right, the cost would be around 300.00 for the glass, and then the cost of having it replaced. So I would say over
400.00, In which case for the same amount you could have a new one, but you must weigh the difference for yourself and see what you think is the best way to go.
If you have any more questions,please post back and everyone is more than willing to help you. I hope I have helped a little.

Sounds like the Switch or the element are bad, try trouble shooting them. It's a stove top??
