Here I am on a Saturday morning trying to be a good husband and clean the kitchen/stove. When all of a sudden, after cleaning the knobs for the burners, one of them would not stop clicking. I thought for sure I would have a new issue and try to find an appliance repair place for a hopeful fix during the work week... NOPE!! Your video saved me a lot of grief and a bit of money. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
That’s awesome & we appreciate you sharing this. Look at you, a good husband & got the DIY project done. Now you can hopefully enjoy the rest of the weekend with your family stress free. Thanks again for sharing your Saturday morning experience. 😎👍
Love it...Thank you Sir. I was cleaning my stove top by drenching it in hot water to cut the grease. The clicking started within seconds. Each burner worked. Shut off all electric and gas. Looked on YT and found you! What's a single girl to do! Awesome Video.

Such a relief finding your video! I’ve had my gas stove 10+ years without issue and earlier today it’s starts clicking! It was made in the 70’s, so I’m thinking she’s done for, but cleaning the igniter worked!! And a creative amateur tip for anyone who doesn’t have rubbing alcohol on hand: I used cheap tequila.
This really saved my life TWICE or even THRICE, just so you know! At one point it was clicking every second at 4 AM and I thought it was the auditory equivalent of Chinese Water Torture and wanted to make sure I didn't go bonkers and rip my pillow into shreds. Thank you for your service!

David, thank you, thank you.I was about to lose my mind listening to the non-stop clicking of my apartment size Magic Chef range after doing some water bath canning that boiled over. A BIG thanks to you and your very simple, easy-to-follow fix, I am no longer ready for the mental ward and will be able to sleep tonight!!!thanks BIG time!
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment Alice. So glad the video helped. We definitely feel your annoyance with the clicking lol. These poor igniters gather a good portion grease/corrosion over the years and its a good thing to clean them once a month or so.

Same here I just fixed my daughters igniter lol, they are away & now they can come back to sanity. they had the stove turned off at the wall but to turn it off they had to pull out a draw and practically climb in to get to the switch omg.
Wow David, Thank you so much. I started cleaning my stove all the suddenly I heard a little tick and I looked again and I checked twice and 3 times and I kept on removing everything putting back together and nothing the tick keeps on and I unplugged my stove left for 10 minutes plug it back in the tick still keeps on oh my God it was driving me crazy I think I was gonna call the firements just to see maybe gas leak or something I'm too old for all this new stove with the tick. I used to use the old fashioned stoves with the gas.but now I am so grateful that you show me that little trick.. I just looked on that RUclips and I just saw you for once I said let me just click on this and I just took your advice took some Qtip and started wiping off all that grease I'm old Charlie I turned it back on and I and I didn't hear no little ticking oh my God I was so grateful thank you so much..😘
THANK YOU. My stove has been randomly clicking while I cook and it's driving me bonkers hearing the click click click click click. It's much cleaner now and no more clicks.

Thank you so much! You saved money for me. The first place I looked for help was a parts store online that diagnosed the problem and said I needed at least a spark igniter, maybe the whole harness. Would have had no oven for a week and been out of pocket. I found your video an cleaned with nail polish remover with acetone (didn't have alcohol). Dried for 2 hours and it is perfect now! And cleaner than it has been in a long time lol.

Wow! My house cleaners got the igniter wet today and it wouldn't stop clicking. They came and got me to see if I could figure it out. The gas was working fine, as we lit the burner with a match, but the clicking continued. I told them to look underneath the cook top for an electric plug. They did not realize that the igniter was running on electricity and wanted to turn the gas off. So after the electric source to the cook top was disconnected, I asked them to just leave it open and let everything dry off. It's been about an hour now, and I think it will work again. Thanks for the perfect video!!

It's not always the obvious... My 2 year old Stoves gas hob started clicking incessantly. Like you and countless others, I assumed it was an igniter or gas supply fault. I spent an hour or two faffing about with cotton buds, Isoclean (Isopropanol cleaning fluid), kitchen roll, hairdryer, etc., but all to no avail. Stoves, the manufacturer, said they could send an engineer to fix the fault for £140. Being really mean (!!!) I scoured the Web and came across another possible cause. I removed the actual control knobs to inspect them and immediately spotted one with a 3mm glob of greasy gunge, presumably accumulated gradually during regular cleaning. 10 seconds later, after a scrape with a pointy thing… SORTED. Incidentally, I have no idea why this could have been responsible.

Oh I hope this works!! Everytime I want to use my stove I have to fire up the burner and then unplug it to stop the ticking. It cant bake because the burners tick. So I have been unplugging it about twice a day. I would love to use my oven. Lots of air fryer use at this point. Thanks! I'll be back to let you know what happens! Im excited to learn this!
A big thanks to Michael , did have problem with the igniter , after watching your video got it fix and it was so simple thanks again . What would we do without the youtube :)

DIY with Michael.......: I watched a video before yours, but in that one the igniters were all part of one system on a free standing range. Yours explained my problem perfectly. I left it alone for about an hour, then plugged the power source back in. I put the burner back together and turned the knob. It clicked and as I turned the gas up, it stopped clicking, just like it is supposed to do!

Ignacio Chavez Thanks for watching & we appreciate you reaching out to us. By chance, did you or someone else clean your cooktop with a cleaning solution? It’s very possible that it’s as simple as the igniters still having a slight bit of cleaning liquid on them allowing electricity to trigger ignitor. If that’s the case, you may just have to turn your burner on and allow your burner heat to evaporate all moisture or present liquid. Keep us posted. Please subscribe to the channel and ring your RUclips bell 🔔 this will be very helpful to us thanks again. 😎👍🔧🔩
Mines ticks but I fixed it differently. Mines has a burner ring where there are tiny holes all throughout where the flame would form. I noticed that my flame pattern becomes different and the stove would tick non stop unless I lower the gas. I fixed it by cleaning each of the holes. the only tool I found that can do this is a carburator jet cleaner (amazon). These are tiny rods that would clear all the dirt and build up within the tiny holes. Once cleared, my flame pattern is normal and no more ticking. I suspected that the over the years, dirt build up within the holes and reduced the amount of gas passing through the holes. As a result, it is like a dirty fuel injector in your car where you lose power due to less fuel getting in the engine.....

Is there a similar cleaning process for the oven portion? My gas range clicks while off but after using the oven for a little bit the clicking stops until it randomly starts up again hours or a day later. Wonder if the oven would cause the clicking.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. How old is unit? You may want to run a cleaning cycle. Does your unit have a self cleaning option? 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thanks for your reply. There is no self cleaning option so it's just good old elbow grease. It's not a newer model, but I think it's on the older side, though not ancient. I discovered the inside had some black grease marks recently which need to be cleaned anyway and I notice when I don't use my air purifier next to it (which draws dust to the area).... it also seems to alleviate the clicking.

My cook top is only a couple months old. I don’t cook that often but did last night. Had a couple of spilled and was cleaning with sponage and warm water. Could there be moisture in infighter?
Susan Butler Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. It is very possible that moisture has gotten into the small edges of the igniters. We recommend playing “trial & error” over the next few times you cook & see if the clicking phases itself out as the flame 🔥 heats up the burner & drys out any moisture or food/cooking particles or products. Let’s start there! Keep us posted! Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your RUclips notification Bell 🛎 that would be awesome thanks again! 😎👍🔧🔩
One one burner only the igniter clicks in the off position and never in the ignite position or any other. Wiggle the knob and the igniter starts or stops. Gas valve operates correctly. Everything clean and dry.
Another cause is the jet in the center of the eye can be clogged. If enough gas doesn't come out of it and the flame not reach the little pointy thing, the stove attempts to relight....causing the sparking click. I had to remove the jet, ream it clean with a sewing needle (very tiny hole) and re-install to get mine to stop. You'll see this happen more when the gas burner is turned to low/simmer.

The upper part of the burner lifted off; the lower part was secured by a large brass nut. I removed the nut, and all pieces of the burner, and I tried cleaning as suggested. No luck. I believe that there is some sort of heat- or flame-sensing device that isn't working. I even tried holding a flame next to the sparker to try to "inspire" it to shut off, but no luck. How does the system sense a flame? Where is the sensor located? sorry for my ignorant questions.
dynmodel.com Thanks for checking out the video. Great question...I've the knob is turned to on...the system begins moving natural gas through the line. It's also sending a fraction of electricity through the line. At the end of the line is the igniter...which contains a gap. The electricity travels past the small gap and makes contact with the burner. This ever-so-small gap created a spark...just sufficient enough to light the burners once contact with the gas occurs. In my case, my gap/igniter tips were extremely dirty and failing. Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😀👍
dynmodel.com In addition, the electronic module located on the underside of the knobs is the true mother board of the system. These modules fail and will cause the inefficient performance of the system. Don't forget to subscribe 😎
Thanks for watching & we have done that before as well. If your electrical connection point is magnetic, you can use one of those extendable magnetic retrieving pens from your local AutoZone...they cost less than $5.00 If that doesn’t work, you can apply some gorilla tape to a screwdriver and insert the screwdriver into the hole in hopes of attaching it to the connection and pulling it back up. 😎👍🔧🔩
Brand new stove, out of the box and the clicking is happening. It just randomly clicks (1x) every 10-15 minutes. The service technician is coming in a few days (since it's under warranty), but thought I would check with you while I wait. :)
Tim Downey Thanks for watching Tim...a clicking stove is definitely annoying...especially if it’s Brand New like yours! Let’s get this figured out! A few things come to mind! 1. In the event that you live in an area with a very high moisture/humidity content in the air and you have your windows open, it’s possible that the heavy humid air is causing your new igniters to think it has a closed circuit because of the thick air...causing it to click as if it’s dirty & you have used the stove for a few years 😲... 2. Spark Module: your spark module is in charge of regulating the proper spark to each burner and igniter...it’s possible that you have a faulty module right from the get go...not cool 😆 3. Spark Ignition Switch: The switch regulates igniters circuit for proper use. It’s possible that your brand new part is faulty. Let’s start there...now we have a few things to think about before the Technician pays you a visit! Keep us posted!

Thanks for the video...i have a different type of problem...Whirlpool 5 burner gas stove...can't turn the stove down really low (which means turning the knob in the clockwise direction) without going into the ignite position and that damn clicking noise. There is a low position in the normal extreme anti-clockwise turn of the knob but its not low enough. So I end up plugging out the stove and using other means to light up so that I can have full use of the knobs in adjusting the flame. Is there any fix for this problem?
Clarke, thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience. My belief is that its your regulator beginning to fault. Reason being...its the only part between the gas line and the burner. At any point the regulator begins to fault, you will see such symptoms. Keep me posted.

My burner started flickering (electric spark ⚡️ during cleaning. ). Turned the power off and it stopped. Turned power back on and it started back up. Turned burner on to maybe dry out any moisture and it’s still doing the same thing. Any suggestions
Thanks for watching. You may need to let it sit overnight and air dry fully and try it in the morning. If that doesn’t work, onto the next step. Try cleaning your ignition that is clicking. Below is a link that will help. ruclips.net/video/JaidSxKXH5E/видео.html You may have a faulty ignition. Below is a link to a video that shows you how to replace a clicking ignition. ruclips.net/video/pZIgLsxRiCs/видео.html It’s also possible that you have a faulty spark module.

What if it won't ever turn off and it's not dirty? I've used the burner once in a little over 2 years. I was cleaning the nobs and accidentally turned one on. Now it won't turn off at all. Had to shut off the power to my entire stove top and can't turn it back on.
@@pattiroth9090 Thanks for watching, any update? It’s likely that the igniter is faulty and not able to turn off. This can happen if something was spilled and leaked into igniter.
Mike Trent Thanks for watching Mike. That’s no fun. You will want to make sure that the unit is properly installed...level, fully plugged in, & gas line properly secured to the regulator...and the gas line/regulator are not being bent or crimped in any way. If there is the slightest bit of moisture inside igniters, you can run burners for a few minutes and see if it evaporates any and all moisture. Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. It’s possible that you have a igniter that has gone bad. We recommend unplugging cooktop & opening up cooktop to inspect inner parts. Verify that there is no signs of corrosion causing issues with your igniter‘s as well as your spark module. Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩
Yes, it is a gas oven. Sometimes I turn it on and it won't make a noise until a few minutes, and then it begins to click. Sometimes I turn it off and it continues to click for quite some time afterward. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
Thanks for the quick reply. I ran into the exact same issue a few years back. Clicking even after oven turned off. Over the years, the igniters corrode, rust, and build lots of crud on them. Kinda gross right..LOL... Believe it or not, this can hold a tiny portion of electricity at the igniter causing the constant click. I cleaned the internal igniters like you wouldn't believe....it fixed the problem and I now clean then once every "6 ish" months.
Why didn't you SHOW us the constantly sparking condition? One of the problems I'm having with these "easy fix" videos for constantly-sparking stoves is that with the burner knobs off there is no power to the spark module in the first place. Therefore you can short or dirty the spark electrodes all you want and they shouldn't spark since they are outputs only, and now have no input power to them. I just verified this on my own gas range. The handful of other videos that I've seen are like yours where we don't get to see the problem condition -- for some reason! An easy check is just to remove the burner knobs' rotary-switch input from the spark module; if it continues to spark it is the module, if it stops then it is one or more of the knob rotary switches. I have, however, noted that there are some who claim that your method worked. Is it possible that it was because they unplugged and then repowered the oven after the cleaning thereby resetting a module that utilized electronic support, and mistakenly attributed it to the cleaning?
Nick Rossi Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your information. That's great info and might be helpful to others watching. As many things out there, there may be a few ways to tackle the issue. My burner was hit or miss as far as the sparking...however once it started...it didn't stop haha. I have had any random sparking since I cleaned parts. The module is what most people run into while figuring out the issue. I guess I got off easy. Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😀👍
Thanks for your reply and I meant no offense. Interestingly, I had a service call today about a stove that sparked continuously (no coincidence. It was the reason I tuned in to your video last night). However, this problem was different than any I’ve seen anywhere. I noticed that when the second burner-knob was turned slightly to the ON position, the constant sparking would then stop. When I inspected the switch on that control knob, it was found to have a missing tab so that it wouldn’t properly engage on the knob shaft, and resulting in a lot of “play”. Obviously, no amount of cleaning would have been time well-spent. Repair videos can be a big help to people, but I sometimes see customers who have spent a great deal of time and expense pursuing the first “solution” they see -- to no avail. Seeing the larger picture is obviously of great benefit, and I’m just putting this out there just to illustrate that there is not just one cause for a particular malfunction. Thank You DIY
Thats very cool. Thanks for the reply. Thats interesting and will definitely help the additional viewers...thats if they take the time to read the comments. I have watched repair videos in the past and after video was over...I still had questions or the video didn't really address my issue. However taking a few minutes and reading the comments...I was able to solve my problem. Your comments provide great info and I thank you for that! Hope to have you as a Subscriber :-)
yes. my top does not have any clever way to stop the spark. it sparks when the flame control is moved off the stop and stops when you advance the flame control further anticlockwise. purely manual. so to continue clicking, one of the ignition switches must remain closed all the time.
Thanks for watching. If recently cleaned or something spilled on it, it may be as simple as allowing it to dry. If after 24 hours of driving and it’s still clicking, a few things can cause this. 1. Cleaning ruclips.net/video/8I82YPljz6g/видео.html 2. Clean ignition switch ruclips.net/video/JaidSxKXH5E/видео.html 3. Replace ignition switch ruclips.net/video/pZIgLsxRiCs/видео.html 4.

Or... if you have your 15year old kid clean it with 20 gallons of water, you might find all 4 burners clicking also... In this case you need to disconnect electrical, remove the top, disassemble each of the 4 plastic solenoids attached to the gas valves handles, clean them and dry them. Put it back together, it will work like new... Ask me how I know:)

hey i have a propane torch doing the same thing but i have no way to clean it, so my question is, is this a safety hazard? i dont wont my torch blowing up in my hand.
Thanks for watching & depends on who you ask. Some people say it’s fine and will only lead to the igniter failing however we recommend getting this fixed as it is creating sporadic electrical behavior which can lead to issues down the road.
Wired question but I would like to know what kind of cooktop you have, if possible. I need the caps and wasn't able to find the model I the mine. Thanks

My wife spilled some water around the burner near the on/off switch. Now both burner near the switches click and try to ignite... even when all switches are turned off. We tried to dry it, even using a hair dryer blower. It's been many hours since then but it still does clicks continually when turned off. If turned on, it still ignites the gas as normal.
John & Joyce Steers Thanks for watching, we recommend unplugging Cooktop & leaving it unplugged for a day or two.

Such a relief finding your video!
I’ve had my gas stove 10+ years without issue and earlier today it’s starts clicking! It was made in the 70’s, so I’m thinking she’s done for, but cleaning the igniter worked!!
And a creative amateur tip for anyone who doesn’t have rubbing alcohol on hand: I used cheap tequila.
Thanks for watching, and that’s great to hear. A friendly cleaning to keep that 70’s cooktop up and running is the best news we’ve heard all day. 😁👍
This really saved my life TWICE or even THRICE, just so you know! At one point it was clicking every second at 4 AM and I thought it was the auditory equivalent of Chinese Water Torture and wanted to make sure I didn't go bonkers and rip my pillow into shreds. Thank you for your service!

David, thank you, thank you.I was about to lose my mind listening to the non-stop clicking of my apartment size Magic Chef range after doing some water bath canning that boiled over. A BIG thanks to you and your very simple, easy-to-follow fix, I am no longer ready for the mental ward and will be able to sleep tonight!!!thanks BIG time!
Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment Alice. So glad the video helped. We definitely feel your annoyance with the clicking lol.

Wow...do I ever understand what you are saying. My husband is so deaf he can't hear it so doesn't see the problem while I am climbing the walls.
Same here I just fixed my daughters igniter lol, they are away & now they can come back to sanity. they had the stove turned off at the wall but to turn it off they had to pull out a draw and practically climb in to get to the switch omg.
Wow David, Thank you so much. I started cleaning my stove all the suddenly I heard a little tick and I looked again and I checked twice and 3 times and I kept on removing everything putting back together and nothing the tick keeps on and I unplugged my stove left for 10 minutes plug it back in the tick still keeps on oh my God it was driving me crazy I think I was gonna call the firements just to see maybe gas leak or something I'm too old for all this new stove with the tick. I used to use the old fashioned stoves with the gas.but now I am so grateful that you show me that little trick.. I just looked on that RUclips and I just saw you for once I said let me just click on this and I just took your advice took some Qtip and started wiping off all that grease I'm old Charlie I turned it back on and I and I didn't hear no little ticking oh my God I was so grateful thank you so much..😘

Wow! My house cleaners got the igniter wet today and it wouldn't stop clicking. They came and got me to see if I could figure it out. The gas was working fine, as we lit the burner with a match, but the clicking continued. I told them to look underneath the cook top for an electric plug. They did not realize that the igniter was running on electricity and wanted to turn the gas off. So after the electric source to the cook top was disconnected, I asked them to just leave it open and let everything dry off. It's been about an hour now, and I think it will work again. Thanks for the perfect video!!

It's not always the obvious... My 2 year old Stoves gas hob started clicking incessantly. Like you and countless others, I assumed it was an igniter or gas supply fault. I spent an hour or two faffing about with cotton buds, Isoclean (Isopropanol cleaning fluid), kitchen roll, hairdryer, etc., but all to no avail. Stoves, the manufacturer, said they could send an engineer to fix the fault for £140. Being really mean (!!!) I scoured the Web and came across another possible cause. I removed the actual control knobs to inspect them and immediately spotted one with a 3mm glob of greasy gunge, presumably accumulated gradually during regular cleaning. 10 seconds later, after a scrape with a pointy thing… SORTED. Incidentally, I have no idea why this could have been responsible.

DIY with Michael.......: I watched a video before yours, but in that one the igniters were all part of one system on a free standing range. Yours explained my problem perfectly. I left it alone for about an hour, then plugged the power source back in. I put the burner back together and turned the knob. It clicked and as I turned the gas up, it stopped clicking, just like it is supposed to do!

Ignacio Chavez
Thanks for watching & we appreciate you reaching out to us. By chance, did you or someone else clean your cooktop with a cleaning solution?
It’s very possible that it’s as simple as the igniters still having a slight bit of cleaning liquid on them allowing electricity to trigger ignitor.
If that’s the case, you may just have to turn your burner on and allow your burner heat to evaporate all moisture or present liquid. Keep us posted.

Sometimes the switches on the harness get bad or just need to be cleaned
Mine too
Mines ticks but I fixed it differently. Mines has a burner ring where there are tiny holes all throughout where the flame would form. I noticed that my flame pattern becomes different and the stove would tick non stop unless I lower the gas. I fixed it by cleaning each of the holes. the only tool I found that can do this is a carburator jet cleaner (amazon). These are tiny rods that would clear all the dirt and build up within the tiny holes. Once cleared, my flame pattern is normal and no more ticking.
I suspected that the over the years, dirt build up within the holes and reduced the amount of gas passing through the holes. As a result, it is like a dirty fuel injector in your car where you lose power due to less fuel getting in the engine.....
Thank you! Also, this could be a 40 second video with 10x the plays.

Is there a similar cleaning process for the oven portion? My gas range clicks while off but after using the oven for a little bit the clicking stops until it randomly starts up again hours or a day later. Wonder if the oven would cause the clicking.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. How old is unit? You may want to run a cleaning cycle. Does your unit have a self cleaning option?
😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thanks for your reply. There is no self cleaning option so it's just good old elbow grease. It's not a newer model, but I think it's on the older side, though not ancient. I discovered the inside had some black grease marks recently which need to be cleaned anyway and I notice when I don't use my air purifier next to it (which draws dust to the area).... it also seems to alleviate the clicking.

The dirt makes it continue to click? After ignition?
Thanks for watching, a number of things can cause this however most common cause is a spill of some sort or cleaning solution not fully wiped off.
😎👍
Can I continue cooking regardless or is it a risk with the constant clicking ?
Thanks for watching & we recommend getting it fixed prior to continuing to use it in its current situation.
Have you tried cleaning?
My cook top is only a couple months old. I don’t cook that often but did last night. Had a couple of spilled and was cleaning with sponage and warm water. Could there be moisture in infighter?
Susan Butler
Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. It is very possible that moisture has gotten into the small edges of the igniters. We recommend playing “trial & error” over the next few times you cook & see if the clicking phases itself out as the flame 🔥 heats up the burner & drys out any moisture or food/cooking particles or products.
Let’s start there! Keep us posted!
Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your RUclips notification Bell 🛎 that would be awesome thanks again! 😎👍🔧🔩
Infighter, LOL..Susan, you got me dying over here.
One one burner only the igniter clicks in the off position and never in the ignite position or any other. Wiggle the knob and the igniter starts or stops. Gas valve operates correctly. Everything clean and dry.
Another cause is the jet in the center of the eye can be clogged. If
enough gas doesn't come out of it and the flame not reach the little
pointy thing, the stove attempts to relight....causing the sparking
click. I had to remove the jet, ream it clean with a sewing needle (very tiny hole) and
re-install to get mine to stop. You'll see this happen more when the
gas burner is turned to low/simmer.

Hey what’s up, that’s awesome. Thank you for watching. 😎👍
what can i moisturize the igniter with?
The upper part of the burner lifted off; the lower part was secured by a large brass nut. I removed the nut, and all pieces of the burner, and I tried cleaning as suggested. No luck. I believe that there is some sort of heat- or flame-sensing device that isn't working. I even tried holding a flame next to the sparker to try to "inspire" it to shut off, but no luck. How does the system sense a flame? Where is the sensor located? sorry for my ignorant questions.
dynmodel.com Thanks for checking out the video. Great question...I've the knob is turned to on...the system begins moving natural gas through the line. It's also sending a fraction of electricity through the line. At the end of the line is the igniter...which contains a gap. The electricity travels past the small gap and makes contact with the burner. This ever-so-small gap created a spark...just sufficient enough to light the burners once contact with the gas occurs. In my case, my gap/igniter tips were extremely dirty and failing. Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😀👍
dynmodel.com In addition, the electronic module located on the underside of the knobs is the true mother board of the system. These modules fail and will cause the inefficient performance of the system. Don't forget to subscribe 😎

Nice video. I also tried to change the ignitor, however, the electric wire dropped inside. Do you have a suggestion to retrieve the wire out?
Thanks for watching & we have done that before as well. If your electrical connection point is magnetic, you can use one of those extendable magnetic retrieving pens from your local AutoZone...they cost less than $5.00
If that doesn’t work, you can apply some gorilla tape to a screwdriver and insert the screwdriver into the hole in hopes of attaching it to the connection and pulling it back up.

Brand new stove, out of the box and the clicking is happening. It just randomly clicks (1x) every 10-15 minutes. The service technician is coming in a few days (since it's under warranty), but thought I would check with you while I wait. :)
Tim Downey
Thanks for watching Tim...a clicking stove is definitely annoying...especially if it’s Brand New like yours! Let’s get this figured out!
A few things come to mind!
1. In the event that you live in an area with a very high moisture/humidity content in the air and you have your windows open, it’s possible that the heavy humid air is causing your new igniters to think it has a closed circuit because of the thick air...causing it to click as if it’s dirty & you have used the stove for a few years 😲...
2. Spark Module: your spark module is in charge of regulating the proper spark to each burner and igniter...it’s possible that you have a faulty module right from the get go...not cool 😆
3. Spark Ignition Switch: The switch regulates igniters circuit for proper use. It’s possible that your brand new part is faulty.
Let’s start there...now we have a few things to think about before the Technician pays you a visit!
Keep us posted!

Bg kalo gas berbunyi berdenging sedikit pas kompor mati bahaya gk bg tapi gk ada bau bg
Thanks for the video...i have a different type of problem...Whirlpool 5 burner gas stove...can't turn the stove down really low (which means turning the knob in the clockwise direction) without going into the ignite position and that damn clicking noise. There is a low position in the normal extreme anti-clockwise turn of the knob but its not low enough. So I end up plugging out the stove and using other means to light up so that I can have full use of the knobs in adjusting the flame. Is there any fix for this problem?
Clarke, thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience. My belief is that its your regulator beginning to fault. Reason being...its the only part between the gas line and the burner. At any point the regulator begins to fault, you will see such symptoms. Keep me posted.

@@pattiroth9090
Thanks for watching, any update? It’s likely that the igniter is faulty and not able to turn off.
This can happen if something was spilled and leaked into igniter.
Mine is new with no debris? What problem do you think that could be?

Thanks for watching Mike. That’s no fun. You will want to make sure that the unit is properly installed...level, fully plugged in, & gas line properly secured to the regulator...and the gas line/regulator are not being bent or crimped in any way.
If there is the slightest bit of moisture inside igniters, you can run burners for a few minutes and see if it evaporates any and all moisture. Keep us posted.

Thanks for the video
Good morning, we are drinking our morning coffee answering any and all questions for the DIY community.
You are very welcome, please let us know if you have any questions. We appreciate you watching and taking the time to share this comment.
What if I’m using induction cooktop hob. Even if it’s off it’s clicking 🥴
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. It’s possible that you have a igniter that has gone bad.
We recommend unplugging cooktop & opening up cooktop to inspect inner parts. Verify that there is no signs of corrosion causing issues with your igniter‘s as well as your spark module.
Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩

Hi! Thanks for the video. What if it's the oven clicking, and not the stove top?
Yes, it is a gas oven. Sometimes I turn it on and it won't make a noise until a few minutes, and then it begins to click. Sometimes I turn it off and it continues to click for quite some time afterward. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
Thanks for the quick reply. I ran into the exact same issue a few years back. Clicking even after oven turned off. Over the years, the igniters corrode, rust, and build lots of crud on them. Kinda gross right..LOL... Believe it or not, this can hold a tiny portion of electricity at the igniter causing the constant click. I cleaned the internal igniters like you wouldn't believe....it fixed the problem and I now clean then once every "6 ish" months.
Thank you! I would not be surprised if they need cleaning. I cook and bake so much. I'll get to it!
Tia DeShazor Keep me posted. Thanks Tia 😀👍
Thank you, this was a very easy and simple solution. Worked like a charm. 🙂
Why didn't you SHOW us the constantly sparking condition? One of the problems I'm having with these "easy fix" videos for constantly-sparking stoves is that with the burner knobs off there is no power to the spark module in the first place. Therefore you can short or dirty the spark electrodes all you want and they shouldn't spark since they are outputs only, and now have no input power to them. I just verified this on my own gas range. The handful of other videos that I've seen are like yours where we don't get to see the problem condition -- for some reason!
An easy check is just to remove the burner knobs' rotary-switch input from the spark module; if it continues to spark it is the module, if it stops then it is one or more of the knob rotary switches.
I have, however, noted that there are some who claim that your method worked. Is it possible that it was because they unplugged and then repowered the oven after the cleaning thereby resetting a module that utilized electronic support, and mistakenly attributed it to the cleaning?
Nick Rossi Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your information. That's great info and might be helpful to others watching. As many things out there, there may be a few ways to tackle the issue. My burner was hit or miss as far as the sparking...however once it started...it didn't stop haha. I have had any random sparking since I cleaned parts. The module is what most people run into while figuring out the issue. I guess I got off easy.

Thanks for your reply and I meant no offense. Interestingly, I had a service call today about a stove that sparked continuously (no coincidence. It was the reason I tuned in to your video last night). However, this problem was different than any I’ve seen anywhere. I noticed that when the second burner-knob was turned slightly to the ON position, the constant sparking would then stop. When I inspected the switch on that control knob, it was found to have a missing tab so that it wouldn’t properly engage on the knob shaft, and resulting in a lot of “play”. Obviously, no amount of cleaning would have been time well-spent.
Repair videos can be a big help to people, but I sometimes see customers who have spent a great deal of time and expense pursuing the first “solution” they see -- to no avail. Seeing the larger picture is obviously of great benefit, and I’m just putting this out there just to illustrate that there is not just one cause for a particular malfunction. Thank You DIY
Thats very cool. Thanks for the reply. Thats interesting and will definitely help the additional viewers...thats if they take the time to read the comments. I have watched repair videos in the past and after video was over...I still had questions or the video didn't really address my issue. However taking a few minutes and reading the comments...I was able to solve my problem. Your comments provide great info and I thank you for that! Hope to have you as a Subscriber :-)
yes. my top does not have any clever way to stop the spark. it sparks when the flame control is moved off the stop and stops when you advance the flame control further anticlockwise. purely manual. so to continue clicking, one of
the ignition switches must remain closed all the time.
Our stove top is Electrolux 2019, ignite clicking won’t stop
Thanks for watching. If recently cleaned or something spilled on it, it may be as simple as allowing it to dry.
If after 24 hours of driving and it’s still clicking, a few things can cause this.
1. Cleaning

Or... if you have your 15year old kid clean it with 20 gallons of water, you might find all 4 burners clicking also...
In this case you need to disconnect electrical, remove the top, disassemble each of the 4 plastic solenoids attached to the gas valves handles, clean them and dry them. Put it back together, it will work like new...
Ask me how I know:)
Good morning, hope the video helped. Thanks for sharing your experience and advice. 20 gallons of water is a lot. 😎👍

hey i have a propane torch doing the same thing but i have no way to clean it, so my question is, is this a safety hazard? i dont wont my torch blowing up in my hand.
Thanks for watching & depends on who you ask. Some people say it’s fine and will only lead to the igniter failing however we recommend getting this fixed as it is creating sporadic electrical behavior which can lead to issues down the road.
Wired question but I would like to know what kind of cooktop you have, if possible. I need the caps and wasn't able to find the model I the mine. Thanks
Thanks for checking out the video. The stove top in the video is a Bosch. I would search ebay/amazon for deals. Please Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome!

I did extreme cleaning but did not correct igniter sparking.
Gene Best
Thanks for watching. At this point, you may need to replace your Spark Module. Keep us posted on your project.

Basically the intro is a bit overdone considering this is not 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Maxx Weber Hey Max, thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment. I might need to pick a new intro soon haha...I've used this into for a few years now on my appliance / home repair videos. I might take some time over the next few days to look at new options.

What happens if I don’t turn off the electricity?
My wife spilled some water around the burner near the on/off switch. Now both burner near the switches click and try to ignite... even when all switches are turned off. We tried to dry it, even using a hair dryer blower. It's been many hours since then but it still does clicks continually when turned off. If turned on, it still ignites the gas as normal.

Thanks for watching, we recommend unplugging Cooktop & leaving it unplugged for a day or two. This usually allows any and all moisture that is not visible to the naked eye to have a chance to dry.
No need to burn out your igniters and cause unnecessary harm to your spark module. Keep us posted.
