SOURCE: I have a Miele gas

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.

Miele HR1124 cooktop - turning one burner on keeps igniter clicking for all 4 burners.

It is a gas appliance and it is a Miele, so you need a registered gas technician to service it. In my experience, the spark igniters work on all burners. To clean the burners, remove them all and put them in a large saucepan. Add cold water and dish liquid, bring slowly to a simmer and turn off. When cold, rinse and scrub with a plastic pot brush, paying particular attention to holes and slots. This was a job we did in the restaurant every week. It is a good plan to do before you go to bed for the least disruption.

The product specs says;

Automatic re-ignition •
Sealed burners
•
M Pro Dual Stacked Burner System

So perhaps my hack won't work if they aren't removable.

I found this video :>)

Small burner will not stay lit when it sparks

assuming this is a gas cooktop? It would be part of the flame failure safety most likely. There is a thermocouple that detects the flame and converts that heat to a small electric signal to tell the gas valve to stay open and/or closed.

A thermocouple is a sensor for measuring temperature. It consists of two dissimilar metal wires, joined at one end.
In the event the flame goes out, the design of the thermocouple is the valve would shut of gas supply to the burner.

In the event the thermocouple is faulty, check it is clean from carbon, and ensure it has not been bent.

Contact a qualified technician to get them to inspect further and replace thermocouple if required.

I have a Miele cooktop and often during ccoking another burner starts clicking and click for a long time......solutions..... Also the lower left burner goes on for may be 10 seconds while clicking, the...

I have the Miele km342g cooktop. The ignition would continue firing intermittently after the burner was lit - click, click, click. Drove us crazy for years and we cursed the unit every time we used it. We assumed it was sensing unburned fumes and so we bought a small fan to "whisk" the gas fumes away. etc. etc. I finally figured out what a simple little thing it was. To start the burner, you turn the knob counter-clockwise. Therefore, once the burner is lit it's intuitive to turn the burner down by turning it clockwise. But in order to turn the burner down, you have to continue turning it counter-clockwise - or, "counter-intuitive". Once we figured that out, we haven't had a problem since.

Burnes extinguish once lit.

These have flame failure technology so the gas will cut out if there is no flame. The thermocouples do this by keeping the gas valve open once they have heated up. This should only take 5-10secs though so any longer is probably an issue with the thermocouple

Burner ignites but doesn't stay lit

The Thermocoupler is faulty or has a bad connection - once the burner is lit, it heats the thermocoupler which then send a small signal to the valve to stay on - at that time you release the knob and the valve stays on ( supplies gas). If you give me a model number, i can get you a part number and price.

Burner will not stay lit

Presuming the flame is touching the thermocouple, try putting slightly more pressure on the knob and hold for a few seconds longer. If this doesn't work try going through the same process with the knob removed - if this works you need to put a small piece of packing in the shaft of the knob ( a small piece paper might do). If this fails you need a new thermocouple.

Burners will not light or stay lit

lhs burner - problem is probably thermo-couple. this is a safety device which prevents gas escape if flame blows out. rhs burner - you do not say if it can be lit by a match. if so then it is a problem with the electrode or the wire to it chaffed thro. if can't be lit by a match, then a problem with the gas valve which is unusual not a diy fix unless you are experienced
