I have a Miele KM424 electric cooktop and one of the elements will not turn off?

SOURCE: 1 burner wont stop clicking on miele cooktop km 344

We have an older Thermador Gas Cooktop type range. It was working fine until the cleaning crew came in, then all the burner igniters were clicking when turning on a single burner. I solved the problem by cleaning off the igniters. I first of course unplugged the power. Then I took a small wire telcom pic tool to scrape the white and brown deposits from the sides of the igniters. You could probably use something else similiar to do the scraping. I noticed a shiny surface underneath. I then went ahead and scraped and brushed clean the mating surface where the spark travels. I then vacuumed up the mess. My burners all worked great after this. Hope this helps!

Most likely you got water (or some other liquid) into the control knobs. Unplug, go to bed and try it again in the morning. If you continue to futz with it, you run the chance of burning out the electronics in the control knob, like I did. :(

I had similar problem.Solved by Miele tech by placing rice grain sized wad of paper towel inside knob so it sits slightly higher on the valve shaft.

Hi, usually this problem is caused by moisture getting into one of your ignitor switches which are under your burner knobs. Most of the time, leave your unit unplugged for a few days and use a lighter to light the burner, you can plug your unit back in after a few days when the switch dries out. If it still keeps firing then you will have to replace one or more of your ignitor switches. Usually a very difficult job as most gas cooktops are now sealed burner units which means the top of your cooktop is bolted down to the burners with several screws or nuts that heat up with usage and become almost impossible to remove, without having to drill out the screws, or chiseling off the nuts. Be careful of boilovers or cleaning around the knobs with too much water to prevent this from happening again. Also get a surge protector at least 2000 joules or higher to prevent damage to you spark module.

Actually when igniter gets hot, it opens the gas valve, then gas flows.The igniter gets hot to the required temperature then the gas valve opens.In your case the igniter is not getting required hot so the gas valve is not getting open.It can be problem with weak igniter.Because if burners are problem the burners will not work at all.If gas valve is problem then gas will not flow at all.In your case burners work, so this indicates gas is flowing.But if igniter is weak, it will take time to get heated and this causes the problem.But if igniter checks out ok, then other possibility is loose, shorting wire to the burner or problem with spark module.-------- The spark module located underneath the cooktop.And the wiring going to each burner . ------------- This possibilities are to be checked.This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.
