I have a glass cook top (JGC9536) with a problem at the right front surface burner (12,500 btu). I used to be able to just turn the switch on high and the burner would light. Now, there is spark and clicking noise but it won't light unless I turn the switch right down to the low position and even then sometime it takes a while to light. Can you please help me with this problem. Thanks
I've had this happen before,first make sure that the black burner cap is clean underneath and it's making good contact with the aluminium burner,also make sure the igniter is sparking across to the burner, check the ceramic coating around the igniter isn't cracked or the wires shorting out . Good luck.

Most of the time when I come out for a service call with this problem, it is usually because the burner cap is not seated properly on the base. Look at the burner and make sure there are no uneven gaps. Most of the time you will have to rotate the burner cap till a notch or pin "seats" into place. Most burner caps just sit on the bases, and so they get knocked off or moved when the cooktop is cleaned or installed. Hope this helps!

theres a part in the cooktop called a spark modual. replace it. when i goes bad the problem your having is what it causes
SOURCE: 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.
