Question about Bosch 30 in. NGP 732 / 736 Gas Cooktop

Cooktop's electronic igniter started clicking all by itself

I have a two year old Bosch gas cooktop (NGT73). The weird thing happened last night when the cooktop's electronic igniter started clicking all by itself. I had to turn it off via the circuit breaker and now just cook by lighting a match to the burner until I can figure this out. I know it's not the case of a GFI electrical circuit problem as stated in the previous solutions as this cooktop has been working fine for the past 2 years. So what is causing this and is there a simple remedy?

Help with my gas cooktop burner. It started clicking and has not stopped. It is a Bosch.

Exact same symptoms; range (Fridgidaire Dual-Fuel) began "clicking" spontaneously. Shut off breaker, will further diagnose tomorrow when shops are open...

Exactly the same--two years old, one burner was a little touchy on humid mornings earlier in the summer, then suddenly it began clicking constantly and the only solution was to unplug the whole thing and light burners manually.

Check to make sure your burner caps are aligned. I had this problem, and it turned out one of my burner caps was slightly askew. Putting it level fixed the problem.

If any of the 5 burner switches are sending a signal to the spark module to light a burner, most gas cooktops have a wire from each burner control to the spark module to send a spark to all burners. Shut the power off, pull the wires off from each control to the spark module control and reapply power . Test each one at a time to determine which is the culprit. Could be more than one but usually only one.

Item #249 is the most likely suspect if it is happening on all burners.

Electronic ignition clicking on cooktop

one of the burner switches has shorted, and needs replacement. Turn the power off to cooktop, and check with VOM if there is any continuity on any of the switches when the y are in the "off" position. Replace the one which has continuity. Some GE cooktops have an assembly of all four switches and harness. Check by model number with any parts distributor.

Ignition stays constantly on, How to fix it or shut it off

its a gas cooktop it has to be plugged in somewhere op e the cabinet and unplug it. possible that the electrodes got wet and click from a false sense of continuity, after being unplugged overnight that will sometimes be enough. you also might have a bad start switch on one of hte burners causing the machine to click automatically. try unplugging over night first
