Range burners (by 9 users)

posted by tiffrain26 on Oct 03, 2007


All four burners on my oven just started igniting over and over. It's making the noise when the knobs are turned to lite and you can see the spark on all four. It won't stop and all knobs are turned to off. It just happened out of no where I wasn't even using it. I turned the fuse off for now and I left it off over night and it still did it today.

I have the same problem, ticking noise when I turn gas burners on that never stop ticking... I pulled electrical plug from outlet and lite with a match. How can I stop the ticking

I've had the same problem with this stove for years, I have had it repaired 4 times, they have replaced the computer each time and the problem went away for a while. I do no think they ever replaced a switch. I have found that turning the burner on briefly, seems to work to get them to turn off until they decide to go off again. I have noticed if one of the knobs is pushed in too far it seems to cause it also. Strangely my stove ususally does this either after I 've been cooking all day- " a holiday", or late at night- between 4 and 4:30 am- I would hear it trying to start- making the clicking noise. One repairman indicated it might be that there is greese or oil that is making an electrical conection- I could see that with all day cooking but that doesn't go with it starting late at night. It happened again last night- This Sat. we are buying a new stove- I have had it. My family has always thought it was haunted- glad to know it has happened to others too.

same problem... what is the solution?

What kind of meter is it? How do I identify the specific switch with problem? Do I replace the switch?

The electric ignitor "clicks" at constant intervals. I have replaced the spark module and the "clicking" did not go away. What should I do next?

There must be a problem in one of the switches which is behind one of the knobs. Will have to check each switch with a meter.

most of the time the ignighters switches come in sets of four so just see if yours does and replace them all

Just bought this Jenn-Air JGS8860BDP range.. used it once.. the right rear burner has no spark..all of the other 3 burners spark when the knobs are turned but not the right rear... Any ideas ? that burner had not even been used to cook with yet...

Comment by reg318, posted on Nov 25, 2007

Same thing happened after cleaning the top of the range. Turned the breaker off for a few hours to no avail.. I see the solution about checking switch with a meter, but what if I don't have a meter? Thanks.
