Gas stove tops: After 3-4 minutes of the gas being on for one or more burners, all of the ignitors keep on attempting to spark. They keep going even after the gas has been turned off and stop after 5 or so minutes. Applying weight to the stove top (i.e.: cookware sitting on the stove top) also affects the ignitors sparking during this time. What can I do to stop this? And is this a potential hazard? Kind regards abbi

Hi abbilou_78,

I believe your ignition switches have come in to contact with either water or moisture.

Please read my below Tip on how to fix the problem:

If it does not solve your problem, I'd suggest replacing the ignition switches.

Kind Regards

The stove top seems to be clicking, but the burner won't light

A common problem with that type of ignitor is that the porcelain insulator (much like a spark plug has) can crack easily. When it does, there will be a clicking sound, but the spark no longer arcs from the top of the ignitor post to the burner and cannot light the gas. Without an intact insulator, the ignitor is effectively shorting out and needs to be replaced.

Try carefully cleaning around the ignitors. Also clean hole in burners. Clean the holes closest to ignitors. This can be caused by a crack in ignitor, this requires replacement.
