I cleaned the gas stove top and now the igniters do not click and light. No clicking sound. I sprayed with a cleaner then cleaned with a rag. The rag did catch on the igniters. Is there a way to fix

SOURCE: I cant find the stove top pilot

Electric Ignition (sparking clicking noise when control knob is turned to "light" setting) do not have pilots. The spark ignites the gas.

SOURCE: How do you light the oven? We turn the dial and

I take it the range is electric ignition because you say the top burners have a clicking(igniter) noise. If the top burners are electric ignition then the oven is also. The oven probably uses a hot surface igniter and that is why you do not hear any clicking. Turn the oven on and open the broiler compartment. You should see a bright glow from the hot surface igniter. If you do not see any glow there may be a grounding issue or the igniter could be bad. If you do see a glow but the burner does not come on in a few minutes then give the gas valve a tap with a wrench and see if the burner comes on. Shut it off and then back on several times. If the burner continues to light after this you may have fixed the problem. If it does not come on gas valve could be sticking or igniter is weak.

SOURCE: magic chef gas range top burners will not stay light

This problem is almost always due to a defective gas valve. If you decide to replace the part yourself remember safety 1st, turn off the gas and disconnect power to the range.

While does my Elve stove top keep clicking ? I've cleaned the igniters. Turned off the power but they keep clicking

If you have cleaned the igniters on your Elve stove top and turned off the power, but they still keep clicking, there may be a few potential causes:
  1. Wetness or moisture: If any of the ignition switches, spark module, or wiring harness has gotten wet or damp, it can cause the clicking sound to continue. Try drying off the stove top and allowing it to sit for a few hours before trying again.
  2. Loose wiring: Check the wiring connections on the spark module and ignition switches to ensure they are tight and secure. Loose wiring can cause a short circuit and result in the clicking sound.
  3. Dirty burners: Even if the igniters are clean, the burners themselves may be dirty or clogged, preventing gas from flowing properly. This can cause the igniters to continue clicking in an attempt to ignite the gas. Try cleaning the burners thoroughly and see if that resolves the issue.
  4. Defective parts: If none of the above solutions work, there may be a problem with the spark module, ignition switches, or wiring harness. In this case, it may be best to contact a professional technician to diagnose and fix the issue.

The electric panel on my smooth top stove just went out with a popping sound rendering the oven unusable but the stove top burners are working.............what could have happened and is it worth it to get...

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.
