GE profile glass stove top


posted by tfoleyocds on Jun 28, 2008


After I cleaned my stove top the burners would not stop clicking. I had turned all the burners on after I cleaned the oven to check if they got wet and to make sure I put the knobs back on correctly. They continued to click even when the knobs are in the off position. I finally unplug the oven to keep it from clicking and clicking and clicking.

Thanks a bunch. I unplugged the stove top and the following evening I hesitantly plugged it back and the clicking had stopped and it was in working condition so I suspect I had gotten a burner switch wet.
I have the same problem.

You got one or more of the burner switches wet. (It usually happens when you wash the knobs and water stays in the holes until you replace it on the shaft) If just water they may work after a day or two. try using a hair dryer, Keep it at least 12 inches away. If oven cleaner or other chemical got inside switches they may need to be replaced. If you can't dry them out. Disconnect the wires from all but one switch at a time and see which one/s need to be replaced. Sometimes the electric part of the switch can be seperated from the gas part and replaced seperately. DO NOT LEAVE THE STOVE PLUGGED IN until you fix this problem. There have been reports of fires started from this electrical problem. You could also burn out the spark ignightor. The fire problems have been mostly with Maytag/Jenn air products but my whirlpool blew a fuse and shot sparks when this happened to me. I just replacet the whole cooktop as my gas valves were one piece units and way to expensive to repair.
