Main burner will not turn off!

All the burners except one work fine. The main burner will not turn off. It is stuck on high. To get it to turn off I have to turn the breaker off. Does any one know what is wrong and how to fix it?

    We had to disconnect the wire to the circuit board to make the whole thing usable - I reported it to the CPSC it is not fail-safe. You should consider doing the same.

My Dacor PGM365-01 main burner continues to spark after I place a pot or pan over it. I just replaced the spark module - still happening. Valve? Micro-switch? Clean the burner?

What is your altitude?I have the same problem and was told by Dacor that I should have the high altitude version. I'm at 5000'

I have a Wolf gourmet 30" stove. it's about 10

Interesting, I'm looking for a solution to a similar issue. Our new (7 month old) 30'' Wolf Range has this issue. When both front burners are light, the back burner's electronic starter begins to click, but only when you put a pan on the front left burner. I believe the iron/steel in the pan is causing a magnetic field thats starting the rear burner to go off.. just don't know.. will report back after the repair person comes.

When I turn any burner on, the ignitors work fine but it takes a very long time for the burners to ignite. Problem is worse the longer the top has been turned off. Once gas gets to the ignitor, it lights...

It seems like one of your burners is clogged. You made need to use some oen cleaner and a small toothbrush to clean the burner. If the problem occurs with all the burners, then you have a blockage in the gas supply line. you willm have to take it apart at the stove and clear it out. Check the main gas connection and at the burner(s) to spot the debris clogging. Make sure to shut your gas valve off behind the stove. Good luck... hope this helps.

There are a series of holes in the burner leading down from the main flame area to the pilot tube, ensure the holes are not plugged/restricted.
