My GE Gas cooktop model # JGP975EKSS is trying to ignite without any burners being turned on.

Anonymous Sep 05, 2010

I got water in my igniter which caused all burners to try to ignite. Another website (GE) suggested using a hairdryer to dry out the switches. I took off all burner (mine is built in) and used the hairdryer. It made the clicking go from very fast, to very slow. Sometime during the night it did stop and all is well now. Did try to ignite for about 10 hours - kind of annoying. The GE website said that if it doesn't stop you'll need a new ignition module, if I recall correctly.

If all the burners are trying to ignite at the same time - the ignitor module is to blame.
If it is one specific burner - take a look at that individual knob.

Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.

yep - water and electronics don't live well together. If the hairdryer doesn't do the trick - unfortunately, replacing the module is your only option.

Thanks!

All igniters will spark when you turn on any burner but only the one you have turned on will allow gas through to ignite.

all burner igniters work at the same time - you may have a faulty electronic spark unit. change the spark unit. go to repair clinic dot come for the unit. also would be wise to check the ingniter start switch on the gas burner control knob

Sounds like igniter problem. Did some one pull the electrical cord or has a fuse or breaker blown/ Things to check. Your igniter is run by electricity.
