I had a dryer go out on me and I was so stressed out that it would cost a lot and I'd be forced to get another dryer. I called a few repair places and didn't get a speedy response…

Gas Burner Clicking — Why Spark Won't Stop
Ranges with continuous spark need diagnosis by ignition circuit behavior: one-burner switch faults differ from shared-module faults affecting multiple knobs.
Typical symptoms
- Clicking continues after flame is lit
- Clicking starts after cleaning or spill events
- One knob triggers clicking on multiple burners
- Intermittent clicking during humidity or steam-heavy cooking
Common causes
- Moisture or grease around burner electrode
- Cracked ceramic electrode or poor grounding
- Sticking ignition switch at a control shaft
- Spark module relay or output fault
- Damaged switch harness insulation
How We Diagnose Continuous Burner Clicking
We isolate burner-level faults from shared spark-module faults before replacing ignition components.
Electrode and cap inspection
Alignment, cracks, and contamination are checked first because they are common and fixable.
Ignition switch mapping
We test each knob switch to identify whether one is back-feeding the spark circuit.
Spark module behavior
Module outputs are checked when clicking persists across multiple burners.
Harness condition
Heat and moisture damage to wires can cause random or continuous spark triggers.
Clicking Repair Expectations
Cleaning and alignment fixes are modest. Switch-harness and spark-module repairs cost more but are usually practical on quality range platforms (labor typically $129-$219).
Gas Burner Clicking FAQ
Quick Austin guidance before service.
Can moisture really cause endless clicking?
Yes. Moisture around electrodes or switch shafts is a frequent trigger after cleaning.
Is continuous clicking dangerous?
It can indicate ignition faults. Stop and book service if clicking is paired with gas odor or delayed ignition.
Should I unplug the range until service?
If clicking is constant or unpredictable, unplugging can be a safe temporary step until diagnosed.
