Igniter will not turn off once burners are lit.

Electronic igniter continues to click repeatedly even after burner is ignited.  Does this have to do with the ignition module?  How to fix?  Very annoying.  All 4 burners will ignite, but clicking continues endlessly...  Please help

    Did not get a response to the problem.  Still annoying us.  Cleaning the igniter head with a small wire brush did seem to help a little.  Sorry I couldn't help more...

    When using one, or more burners, the ignitors continue to fire intermittently on all the burners. The product manual does not say how the ignitor is "told" when to fire but it must be something to do with both flow of gas (telling it to fire) and heat from burning gas (telling it to quit firing).



    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    We have the exact same issue! The ignitor continues to click on all the burners even if only one is lit. Not a great product. We just moved into this house with all Jen Air products and have replaced all but the stove top with GE products. Any help would be appreciated Jen Air!

  • Mike9999 Apr 27, 2008

    Our gas stovetop keeps making a clicking noise and doesn't ignite anything. I can see a few parks sometimes. I usually light the burners with a lighter/matches and it works fine. I'm assuming it is a problem with the igniter? Do I just call a small appliance maintenance to replace it? Any ideas on cost?

    I have just moved into a house, we have a Jenn-Air CCG457-W gas stove.
    which has been with the previous owners for 10-13 years.
    Once I turn the front burner all burners starts to ignitate. I have used gas stove for over before but never had a problem.
    Please advise what I could do to stop the ignitor stop making noise.

    Jenn Air cooktop is ****. This is the second Jenn Air cooktop I bought and both have the same problem which is it keeps igniting even after the fire already lit. The first one I got from Ebay so I can't and too expensive to return it, I brought the same Jenn Air for 2nd time at local because I figured the cut out of the countertop is the same. Damn it, the same problem with this one too. I called the store for service and they cant send service until 2 weeks later. AJMADISON.com has bad service and expensive, dont buy from them. I'll will update if I find out how they going to fix the problem.

I've had the same problem for 2 years. Today I removed the four burner tops, the 15/16 inch bolt that holds the burners in place, took everything apart (simple connections underneath), completely cleaned and dried eveything. I also cleaned the 4 knobs and making sure the 4 swiches slide up and down freely then dried everything with a hairdryer. Is now works fine but if the problem comes back, I'll simply unplug the cooktop and light it manually. P.S. I stripped one of the large 5/16 inch bolt that had become weak and brittle. - Try using water or some liquid to loosen the bolts as necessary. Good luck, CHEERS!

The jenn air cooktop-if the igniter continues to spark after the flame comes on the unit around the burner is bad.the igniter is also a flame sensor it senses heat and then shuts off knowing the flame is there.you can try to clean the tips at the burner if you choose but you might still have the same problem.otherwise you will have to replace the whole piece that goes around the burner itself.

    Electronic igniter continues to click repeatedly even after burner is ignited.

    After two weeks waiting for technician to show up. He knew right away it's not the problem with the cooktop, it's electrical outlet wiring. The wires are reversed. Once you've done that, it is fixed.

    Try this if you have the same problem.

I had a first occurrence of the same problem. The ignition won't stop clicking. The noise was annoying. First, I unplugged the power cable. The plug is in the kitchen cabinet under the cook top.Then i removed the knobs and used cotton stabs and alcohol to clean everything under the knobs. It is important that the switches ( vertical bars that go under the knobs) can move freely up and down. I think that the clicking is triggred by the switch being pressed. Dirt (grease and dust) would prevent it from going in the Up position. Hope it helps. For me it solved the problem, at least for now.

Why want middle burner light automatically but will light with a lighter

That unit is suppose to have electronic quartz igniters. Apparently there's a problem but it doesn't automatically mean the igniter needs to be replaced. If you see a spark from the igniter then it's fine. If you see a spark but no flame then the ignition process is out of synchronization. In other words, the gas hasn't concentrated near the spark enough to ignite. This may be a matter of low gas pressure or the extra length the gas needs to flow to reach the center burner is impeding ignition. Simple fix is turn the knob just enough to start the gas for 2 seconds then continue the turn to click the igniter. or simply use a match. You may also see if there are any adjustments on the gas manifold that will enhance bringing more gas to the center burner quicker. Some unit have one click & that's it, others click the igniter continuously until you release turning the knob. Good luck. you'll figure it out.

Miele LP cooktop: we turned the power to the range off. when we turned on again it didn't ignite (it has power!)

Hello

Keep the air holes around the burners free of debris and grease by clearing out the holes with a thin piece of wire or a toothpick. Cleaning out the holes helps the ignitor light the cooktop

Listen for the clicking sound of the ignitor, then turn off the burner if you don't hear the clicking.

Turn the burner to the "Off" position, if you continue to hear the ignitor tick after you've lit the burner. Turn the burner back on to relight it. Ignitors normally make a brief series of electrical clicking sounds when you turn on the ignitors.

Let the ceramic igniter dry out if it has gotten wet and the burner won't ignite. If the igniter isn't wet, clear out the little holes in the burner by chipping out any blockage with a straightened paper clip.

Clean the electrodes if the burners still don't light. The electrode is in the burner base. Clean the metal part with a soft cloth. You can use emery board on the metal part but not the white ceramic part.

Our Dacor gas cooktop igniter won't click. When I turn on the burner, you can hear the gas coming out, but no click so the burner won't lite.

Go to RepairClinic.com and check on how much a new igniter is. Is there two or 4 igniters on your model (lift the top of the range up and it is the little silver piece sticking out with a white base around it), If its 2 is the other side working? Make sure there is no food deposits around where the gas and the spark meet.

Clicking noise on cooktop even when all burners ignite

I have a viking gas cooktop. The ignitor on one of my front burners wouldn't stop clicking even after the flame ignited. I swapped that ignitor with the ignitor from a back burner, expecting that the problem was with the ignitor and that the back burner would start to click incessantly, but at least I'd have my favorite front burner for use. Instead, the front burner was then only clicking 50% of the time and the back burner was fine, suggesting the problem was related to the burner not the ignitor. I pulled the front ignitor a bit away from the burner and now it is working normally. Hope this helps.
