- Mr. Appliance Repair Expert, why does my stove keep clicking after I turn it on? 🧙♂️
- A clicking sound after you turn your stove on is a sign that the ignition switch is working normally. When the clicking sounds are repeated over and over again, it's time to think about possible causes. ☝️
🕵️♀️ Check that your burners are clean and dry - this is a common cause of frequent clicks. Trapped food, grease, or moisture can block their connection to the gas line.
🕵️♀️ It is important to trace the position of the burner cap, as misaligned burner caps cause a clicking sound accompanied by an uneven flame. This can be caused by hitting the burner, removing the lid to clean the stove, which can cause the lid to release more gas on one side, covering the burner holes on the other.
🕵️♀️ Faulty ignition switch. Electric current from the spark module triggers the ignition. Moisture buildup or a power surge can cause the switch to short out. As a result, a faulty ignition switch can initiate a continuous flow of current to the ignition module, causing it to click frequently.
One thing you can do to solve this problem yourself is to clean the stove of food and grease residue and let it dry completely. This will help ensure that the burner gets enough gas to light up again. If you suspect the burner is dislodged, you can remove the lid, clean it, and reattach it.
But even if that doesn't help, it may be a problem with the ignition system. In this case, it's worth going to a licensed technician. The technician will most likely check for a faulty igniter, spark ignition switch or spark module and replace them if necessary.
