20 Most Recent Thermador SGS36GS Gas Cooktop - Page 3 Questions & Answers

Ventilation units usually come with sensors at times which trigger the blower and also trigger the light to come on intermittently.
Although if you are absolutely sure that there is nothing for the blower to extract then disconnecting it is safe but if otherwise do connect the blower back.
Blinking light usually indicate a warning this could either be a malfunction in the unit or an improper wiring diorder which might have just come up on the unit.
To determine if you have to replace a relay or the whole switch board can only be determined after careful examination of the unit. Try to get an axpert to take a look at the unit.
Also endeavour to be careful as severe accidents could occur as a result of poor maintenance of these appliances.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

Hi,
Yes, the air gap is to make sure that too much heat does not transfer down to the wood below... and start a fire... believe it or not air is a great insulator...

Hello there:
A burner doesn't work The most common problem for gas surface burners is that they get gas but don't light. This is generally caused by dirt or grease splatters on the burner itself. Residential-grade range/stove burners are round and have small holes around their perimeter to allow gas to flow out and create a round flame. The gas coming from these holes is often ignited by a small vertical row of holes on the side of the burner. If these vertical holes are clogged or obstructed, the gas can't ignite. The solution is to clean the burners thoroughly. Use a toothpick to clear the small vertical holes, then allow the burner to dry completely and try lighting it again. If it doesn't light immediately, either repeat the procedure or you will have to troubleshoot the gas supply line that feeds the burners sometimes the valve that feeds the burners will fail and may need to be replaced if you do not feel comfortable doing this type of repair call a qualified appliance repair technician.
OK?
Best regards Michael

Electric gas igniters sometimes get stuck in one position causing a clicking sound. The clicking sound that you hear is the electric arc that is pulsing from the igniter conductor (wire) to ground (the gas burner). It receives power from the electrical outlet that the stove is plugged into.
Residue from food and sometimes cleaning products may be preventing the igniter from producing a spark (Arc) to the base of the burner. This is a common problem that occurs when the stove has been cleaned or food is allowed to build up. Make sure that the igniter and the burner base are clean and dry. This will help with proper operation. Oven cleaner and a small tooth brush may be used to accomplish this. Another problem with ignition may occur if you have too little (touching) or too much space between the igniter and the base of the burner; it will prevent the burner from igniting. You should only have a little more space than the thickness of a nickel between the burner base and the igniter. A good “blue” arc from the igniter to the burner base is optimal. If this doesn’t work, you may need to replace the electric igniter module. Good luck.

Clean the grease off the igniter; if that don't do it replace the spark module. Manual If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

you can use a hair drier to remove the water on the igniter .before you do it close the valve of the gas tank.and apply heat to the igniter to dry the water.this cause a short circuit on the ignition of your stove..dont worry as soon as the water dries the spark will stop..

hope this helps you..

please rate my help tnx God Bless!

HI, My surface burners keep "clicking" even after the burner is light: There are a few things to check for. Make sure the electrode ( the small metal piece that the spark comes off from ) is clean and the holes in the burner are clean, use a pin or paper clip to clean out the burner holes and NOT a tooth pick as these can break off and make things worse. Example of a burner. The next thing to check for are the ignition switches under the surface control knobs, the switches can twist and break and keep the spark module on and the spark keeps "clicking" even when the burner is light. If every thing looks good, you may have a bad spark module, replace it. Sometimes cleaning can get moisture into the surface switches, try drying them with an hair dryer to see of this will help. Repair and checking tips for surface burners. TIP: Hello, I have a Kenmore Elite Gas range/oven. This morning I noticed the range top ignition was clicking all by itself every 15-30 seconds. I checked all of the knobs to assure they were off and they were. All burners including the oven light as normal but the ignition will not stop clicking. - It is now clicking every 2-3 seconds! - Does anyone have any suggestions? - P.S. I turned off the gas and electric until resolved. While previously cleaning the range control knobs, one of those switches got wet and was completing the circuit to the spark module causing it to fire off sparks. A little help from my wife's hair/blow dryer and were all fixed! More information, you can check this link too. fixitnow.com/2004/09/appliance-repair-revelation_17.htm. Hope it helps. Take care.

you need to cut or drill out the nut then replace jet holder and nut

Hi, if the other 4 burners are working fine, the problem must be in the valve stem. There is a linkage inside the valve body which may have stripped itself. If this is the case you would need to replace the valve.
