I have a Jenn-Air gas stove with electric start. Now when you turn on a burner the elecric starter on all burners click but once the selected burner lights the electric starts keep clicking. You have to keep turning the burner off and on until if finally stops. This can take several tries. How do I stop this from happening.

either the gas valve for that particular burner isnt opening,or if all burners are like this then the dual valve that feeds the broiler and stovetop has a bad stove top side of valve portion its underneath the oven cavity behind the lower pan drawer

Remove the round burner plates and clean thoroughly in soap and water. Clean the burner ring where the burner plates rest with soap and water.

Let me know what you find.

Did you spill water near/on knobs? if so leave to dry out for 24 hours. If still clicking after 24 hours one of the switches has shorted out and needs to be replaced. You can find which one with a multi meter/condinuity test. Hope this helps...Good Luck

01/26/09 My wife decided to give our Jenn-Air a good cleaning. With lot's of soapy warm water she pulled the knobs off and washed under each of them not realizing excess water was now running down the inside of each control knob shaft. The igniter immediately began clicking away as it was being shorted by the conductance of the water now inside of the switch. I had to remove the cover (2-screws) to access the control switches but that is all I needed to do do in order to have clear access. Using her hair dryer it took about 5 minutes of warm air blowing down each of the shafts until the water evaporated and the clicking stopped. Wahla. The old Jenn-Air is back to working order again.

thanks for the question yes some stoves do this and its normal when the burner you selected lights turn to low or hi the igniter will stop they do this to save on igniter modules thanks the appliance doc

I have a Creda gas stove ,yesterday some water boiled over. I have a continuous spark ever since and the stove is not even on. Is there any way to reslove this without calling a repair person?

you may have lost a leg of your 240V service. make sure you have 240 to the appliance and then start chasing down where you lost it. there is no onboard trip or reset on this unit
