The igniter on m 4 year old GE Profile gas cook top continously discharges a lite spark when turned off. I have to unplug it to stop.
Got any ideas?
Hi
It sounds like somebody clean up the stove and the electric sending unid is wet, try this: the knob that correspond to the ingniter that it's clicking nonestop, take the knob out and you will see the sending unit, pull it out unplug it and dry it out and then try it again, it should work properly after it's dry.

This worked..... a little too much water got down in there during cleaning and the ignitor started going crazy on its own. Remove the controller knob and get a hair dryer. Point the hair dryer into the hole and hold it there. It took about five minutes before my ignitor stopped freaking out. Try this before calling a repair man!

The electrical wiring under the burners has been short
probably from liquids leaks during cooking.
That is why you had the spark. The only electrical part you
have to your coo top is the electric ignite nothing else. So you should remove
all burners' assemblies from the top so to reach the bottom part where the gas
pipes are located and the ignite part no 318 in drawing Spark module
Part Number:
AP3778816made by GE.
So first you can use a hair
dryer do try it out and be sure there is not and liquid in it and put
electrical plug again to test it. If you still have the same problem, replace
the Spark module with a new one.

I have the same problem where the ignition will not stop sparking and making an awful sound.I do not know how to unplug the sending unit. I have taken off the knob with the problem but could you describe how to unplug the next unit. The stove has not been cleaned for over a day, would it be wet still and have the same problem?
