Constant clicking when turned on

I just had my Bosch cooktop installed and when I turn on any burner the ignitor continues to click and will not stop. What's wrong with it?

    My cooktop is several years old. It has just commenced clicking and sparking on one ignition burner. Have dismantled, cleaned and removed and replaced knobs. Nothing helps. Any ideas?

    I have a Viking 6 burner cook top, VGSU 161BSSLP. Soup boiled over on center burner. Ever since that happend the back right-hand igniter continues to click, even when the burner is ignited. Have checked the ground. We have cleaned and dryed all burners to no avail. Clicking still continues. All burners light by hand, but only the two on the right auto ignite. When all burners are lit all igniters continue to click .

I installed a brand new Jenn air gas cook top 9 with (AUTOMATIN RE-IGNITION) and it did the exact same thing. Per Rotu's suggestion I plug it to an outlet from the living room (not GFCI Circuit). The problem goes away. Thanks ROTU

I am not familiar with your particular model, but if you just had it installed, I'd say that the outlet you are using to plug it in is on a GFI circuit (ground fault interrupt) You cannot use a cooktop with automatic re-ignition on a GFI circuit, as it will do exactly what you are describing. Easiest way to check this is to go to home depot and buy a little outlet tester that will tell you if your polarity is reversed in the outlet (another possible cause) or if it is a gfi or non gfi. The other thing you could try is unplugging the unit and plug it into an extension cord. Then take the cord and run it to a non gfi outlet in a hallway or anywhere but the kitchen or bathroom areas and see if it behaves itself then. Hope this helps!

The problem may not be a CGFI plug... Try wiggling all of the ignitors first, pulling them away from the burners. Pulling up on them a bit makes them easier to wiggle. It worked for me.

I have a Kleenmaid CH920XFF 5 burner gas cooktop. The ignitors on all 5 burners are constantly "clicking" as if they are trying to start/ignite. What is causing this?
It may be possible that you have to push the controls in and complete the turn off motion. Sounds like there is an electric spark control that is not turning off.

Two of my burners are clicking even when the stove is off. what should I do?
There is a switch that slides onto the shaft for each burner. When you turn the knob to a certain area it completes the circuit to the ignitor module. It sounds like you have a shorted switch. Unfortunately with most 'cooktops', these are not easy to get to.

It's also strange that only 2 are igniting, usually one module runs all the ignitors. When you turn one of the non-problem burners on, does it click when it supposed to and stop when it's supposed to?

The ignitors running constantly is annoying and may damage the module, but should not be dangerous unless you have other issues, ie., fuel leaks.

If you have access to basic hand tools and a multimeter I can walk you through the diagnosis.

Miele LP cooktop: we turned the power to the range off. when we turned on again it didn't ignite (it has power!)
Hello

Keep the air holes around the burners free of debris and grease by clearing out the holes with a thin piece of wire or a toothpick. Cleaning out the holes helps the ignitor light the cooktop

Listen for the clicking sound of the ignitor, then turn off the burner if you don't hear the clicking.

Turn the burner to the "Off" position, if you continue to hear the ignitor tick after you've lit the burner. Turn the burner back on to relight it. Ignitors normally make a brief series of electrical clicking sounds when you turn on the ignitors.

Let the ceramic igniter dry out if it has gotten wet and the burner won't ignite. If the igniter isn't wet, clear out the little holes in the burner by chipping out any blockage with a straightened paper clip.

Clean the electrodes if the burners still don't light. The electrode is in the burner base. Clean the metal part with a soft cloth. You can use emery board on the metal part but not the white ceramic part.

I can't get the electric ignition to stop clicking. I'm not sure this is the right model, but it looked the closest to my cooktop
Hi- most likely the spark module is bad. Sometimes a burner swith gets stuck as well. Unplug the unit, the plug should be inside the cabinet. Take off the knobs and see if you see any obstructions and see if the knob posts move freely in and out (push to turn). Probably need to get a Tech out to look at it. If it is clicking even when the burners are off you can just leave it unplugged and light with a match to use it. If it is only clicking when you have the burners on check to be sure all the burner bases and caps are assembled correctly and seated, sometimes the electrode will continue to click if the burners are assembled wrong or are wet. Hope this helps a little. Good Luck.

The electrodes are ticking when we turn on the burners
THAT IS THE IGNITOR FOR THE GAS. TURN THE KNOB JUST BEYOND THE START POSITION AND IT SHOULD STOP. IF NOT UNPLUG THE STOVE AND FIND THE IGNITOR ON THE BURNER HEAD AND CLEAN IT WITH A SOFT TOOTHBRUSH. PLUG THE STOVE IN AND IT SHOULD STOP CLICKING

Igniters are not working right
when you turn any burner control to lite all ignitors should click this is normal industry wide. the ignitors are controlled by switches that are placed over the valve shafts they are wired up together so thats why they all click when you only operate one valve don't worry about it. the ignitor stays on untill you back the valve off a tad this is also normal.

Clicking noise on cooktop even when all burners ignite
I have a viking gas cooktop. The ignitor on one of my front burners wouldn't stop clicking even after the flame ignited. I swapped that ignitor with the ignitor from a back burner, expecting that the problem was with the ignitor and that the back burner would start to click incessantly, but at least I'd have my favorite front burner for use. Instead, the front burner was then only clicking 50% of the time and the back burner was fine, suggesting the problem was related to the burner not the ignitor. I pulled the front ignitor a bit away from the burner and now it is working normally. Hope this helps.
