I have a Creda 100 lp cooktop. The igniters keep clicking when the knobs are turned off. The clicking stops when one of the burners is ignited. What is the repair?

(1) Get Naval Jelly (Rust dissolver) and apply on the igniter and than see if everything is fine.
(2) Check the connections from the knob to the burner. Probably have a leak. Replace the wire from the knob to the burner.

Hi,

Yes, the moisture is probably the problem...

Here is a tip that I wrote that will help figure out why the burner spark keeps on clicking...

clean the knob control by using vaccium,pull the knobs then clean it.make sure how to remove the knob,same position to returrn the knob

when you cleaned the unit you may have gotten water in side the igniter, dry it out w/ a hair dryer. Once dry should work .

My Dacor cooktop had a similar problem of continuously clicking igniters. I unplugged it a couple months ago and used a piezoelectric igniter to get it started. Then I looked in the Dacor FAQ and it said to clean the ceramic igniter posts with alcohol not water. I had to scrape some gunk off a couple of the posts with a knife before cleaning with alcohol. Now it works.'

I think the igniters use electrical conductivity to detect when they need to spark, so even slight invisible contamination on the igniter insulator can confuse the sensing system. Also they all seem to fire as a group, so all of them need to be clean because if any one of them is dirty then they will all malfunction.

hi there,

the clicking noise is the spark module trying to ignite. i would get a technician to come and check it.
