Gas Range Burner Sparking?
Experiencing continuous sparking from your gas range burner can be both frustrating and concerning. This issue may stem from various causes, ranging from simple maintenance needs to faulty components. Here’s a guide to help you troubleshoot and address this problem.
Common Causes of Continuous Sparking
-
Moisture Intrusion
Liquid spills or excess moisture can cause the ignition system to malfunction, leading to continuous sparking. -
Dirty or Misaligned Burner Components
Food debris, grease, or misaligned burner caps can interfere with the igniter, causing persistent clicking sounds. -
Faulty Ignition Switch
A defective ignition switch can send continuous signals to the spark module, resulting in nonstop sparking. -
Defective Spark Module
If the spark module is malfunctioning, it may continuously send power to the igniters, causing constant sparking.
Troubleshooting Steps
-
Dry the Ignition System
- Unplug the stove and allow it to dry thoroughly, especially if there’s been a recent spill.
-
Clean and Realign Burner Components
- Ensure all parts are clean and properly positioned to prevent interference with the igniter.
-
Inspect Ignition Switch and Spark Module
- If cleaning and drying don’t resolve the issue, these components may need professional inspection or replacement.
