Our gas cooktop keeps clicking after the burner lights. Why?

Moisture or grease on the switch or spark module is a common cause. Let it dry, then have it checked if it continues.

Can an old drop-in cooktop still get parts?

Often, but not always. We check availability by model before quoting.

Older drop-ins and propane units

A counter-mounted cooktop with no oven beneath it often dates to an older kitchen remodel. Electric drop-in models fail at coil receptacles, infinite switches and wiring that has baked for years. Glass radiant cooktops lose elements and signal lights. Propane cooktops on farms and acreage share problems with natural-gas models: clogged burner ports, weak spark igniters and cracked ignition switches. Humidity and grease make sparkers click without lighting.

A safe check: on gas, make sure the burner caps sit flat and the ports are clear; a toothpick helps. On glass, stop using it if you see a crack and turn off the breaker. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your propane supplier from outside.

How we approach it

The technician tests the elements, switches, spark module or valves, explains what failed and the price before work. Older drop-in units sometimes have parts that are hard to find, and we will tell you if a replacement makes more sense.

Before You Book: Cooktop Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent cooktop problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Gas SmellSafety: Do not look for the source. Get out of the house without operating any switch or appliance, and phone the gas utility or 911 after you are outside.
Gas Valve FailureSafety: Never open up or oil a gas valve yourself. If the cooktop's shutoff valve is safe to get to, close it, then call us.
Burner Won't Turn OffSafety: Cut power at the breaker on an electric cooktop, or close the gas shutoff valve on a gas model if it is safe to get to; keep the cooktop out of use until it is repaired.
Gas Smell Without FlameSafety: Turn the knob off only if it is within easy reach, and do not relight anything or operate switches. A strong or persistent odor means getting out of the house and phoning the gas utility or 911 once you are outside.

Symptoms, causes and repair-or-replace advice for every type of cooktop are in our complete cooktop repair guide.
