Gas stove burner

My burners click all the time while the burners are on. They only stop when I turn the flames off. How do I stop them from clicking while the flame is on?

The spark igniter on a typical gas stove that replaces the pilot light of older stoves should stop once the stove is lit. Two reasons off the top of my head that this could malfunction.

  1. It's wet or dirty. Moisture/dirt can interfere with the spark igniter. Make sure you clean the igniter and the stove and burner around the igniter well. This might require a bit of disassembly if you spilled a lot into there. You might need to use some sort of degreaser to get the thing properly clean. Let it dry completely before trying again.

  2. It's broken. There are a couple parts that could cause a problem. I'd contact warranty/service if you're sure it's clean and dry and it still occurs (and you're not comfortable debugging the electronics yourself).
