PRODUCT MANUAL, where is ignitor, switch, Gas Dryer, steam

Generic problem for all Kitchen Cooktops

Jennair gas cooktop (by 2 users)

Report abuse

My ignitors keep firing after the gas is turned off... I steamed a dungenes crab last night and some water boiled over... I figured that some water went where it shouldn't go and in the morning all would be fine. Nope... The product manual (on-line) does not speak to this problem.

Any help please?

One of my ignitors keeps on clicking even after it is lit. This is not a problem with the other 3. Have tried drying, cleaning and moving disk on top of the burner element but still no joy. Any ideas?

Sounds like you got water into the ignitor switches on under the knobs. Sometimes it takes 48 hours for this to dry out. Or you can pull the knobs and use a hair dryer on to dry out the switches. Personally I just advise pulling the plug and wait. This is a common issue with gas cooktops and can also happen with liberal use of cleaning products sprayed in the know area.
