You can try to clean the two pins with degreaser and then soap and water using a skrubby sponge for delicate surfaces However, my Bosch cooktop has had problems with the igniters (particularly on two burners) which required the replacement of the control unit. This requires opening the unit completely and replacing the white plastic box and connections to each burner. It is easy enough to do, but it is a bit scary to lift off the glass as there is probably an adhesive which one has to lift the top off of. Another thing you can try is to adjust the two screws that are uderneath the removable cover of the burner. Sometimes just tightening or loosening them a bit can solve the problem

SOURCE: igniters are not working right

when you turn any burner control to lite all ignitors should click this is normal industry wide. the ignitors are controlled by switches that are placed over the valve shafts they are wired up together so thats why they all click when you only operate one valve don't worry about it. the ignitor stays on untill you back the valve off a tad this is also normal.

SOURCE: old Thermador cooktop continues to spark even after turned off

sounds like you have a bad switch. maybe on the large burner.. some of those switches can be replaced without the whole harness.

SOURCE: Whirlpool Cooktop igniters keep firing, even after igniting

when you cleaned the unit you may have gotten water in side the igniter, dry it out w/ a hair dryer. Once dry should work .

We cleaned to cooktop and now the igniters don't work. the ciruit breaker won't reset and continues to trip

You are short circuiting the cooktop. Make sure no metal is touching the igniters. Check everything again, making sure everything is in place correctly. Also make sure it is fully dry.

Gas igniters on all five burners keep sparking (JennAir CCG556B)

Try cleaning around all the ignitors at each burner. Look for build up of cleansing product and/or food. Sometimes all it takes is a good cleaning and removal of a buildup to solve this. Worth trying before replacing a bunch of parts!

Electronic igniters won't shut off.

Boy, I had a Thermador that used to drive me bats.
The best solution was to clean around the ignitor pin and make sure the orifices closest to the ignitor are not blocked... It made a big difference.
I used a small fine metal bristle brush.. did the trick.

GAs burner igniter

This is definitely an electrical problem. Check the circuit breaker on the wall plate (where the cooktop is plugged in) as well as at the fuse box. If that is not the problem, you may need an electrician.

Igniters will not work

did the water fall on the spark module do you hear a faint click ,igniters dont go bad if they get wet if you say theres power going to the cooktop then you might have a bad spark module.

Igniter issue - some do not turn on other do not turn off

I would try cleaning the burners. You can purchase cleaning brushes made specifically for this purpose and they work like a charm.
