My wife cleaned the gas top and the starter keeps clicking like its trying to light the burner. What is the solution to remedy the problem?

The spark of mine kept clicking and making sparks right after my wife cleaned the cook top. After disconnect and plug the power back in again, the loud spark clicking sound stop but instead we get this background clicking sound from the apparently the control box. Should I replace the control box?

I recently cleaned the unit and decided that water must have gotten into the open tube. I used a hair dryer for about 7 to 10 minutes and the clicking stopped and the burner works!

If you have recently cleaned unit and got moisture behind knobs, this may stop when the spark switches dry out. If not you will need to replace spark switches behind the knobs.
