I was doing some baking and then the oven started clicking and the light was flashing inside the oven. What needs to be cleaned to stop the oven from making clicking noises?

I didn't know what caused the clicking but as I started cleaning the igniters the clicking slows down progressively then as I continued cleaning it completely stopped. Just like magic! Thanks for this video

I have that’s sound but it’s coming from the bottom part of the oven and it stops if u have the Temperature at 425 or up

Baking soda and vinegar is a mixture that makes no sense. The baking soda is basic and the vinegar acidic and they will neutralize each other.

It might be the problem but it might not be be. My problem ended up being a faulty wiring harness. I figured this out after cleaning, replacing all of the igniters, and the igniter relay. My 13 year old stove is almost brand new!

[@edsmith4414]

Did all this and mine still kept clicking when turned down to simmer. I had to take out the gas jet, the little brass nut down in the center, and ream it clean with a sewing needle. Just a tiny bit of debris in there means there is not enough gas flow to keep the burner lit when turned to low setting....the igniter senses the lack of flame and tries to constantly relite the burner.

Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community. Thanks for sharing your experience. A brand new unit shouldn’t be giving you any fuss…🤔…that’s a bummer you’re having issues.

After my cleaning service cleaned the stove top, all the ignitors started sparking. They did not before cleaning and there is no corrosion or dirt buildup. I switched off the circuit breaker and left if off for about an hour and then reset it. All the ignitors still are sparking. Could water or cleaning solution be causing the issue

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Surprisingly, it can take a few days to fully dry out depending on how much cleaner was used. Some find it best to unplug unit for a day or two. 😎👍🔧🔩

I have got a Smeg 5 burner that is sparking continuously on all 5. I have cleaned the igniters with rubbing alcohol and the burners with a mixture of vinegar and bicarbonate of soda, but still it sparkes continuous. what can I do, apart from calling a electrician?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Marianne Smit-la Croix Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. The next troubleshooting step we recommend looking at is your actual Ignition Switch’s. These are located underneath your knobs. You will need to carefully remove knobs & clean all switches. Over the years of cooking, these little switches can gather food particles, dust, & corrosion...ultimately causing your cooktop to degrade. Keep us posted! We actually just did a video on this 3 days ago & it’s in the editing process. Once we upload it, we will share a link with you!

Can I use a commercial anti-rust spray instead of the homemade baking soda?

Thanks for watching, we haven’t tried that in the past...🤔...can’t give you a 100% confident answer.

Hi, I have this issue but with a Gas oven. Is the fix the same? Just clean the sparker?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

[@mariannesmit-lacroix3125]

In the end it was easy! The knobs are fixed to the stems with a grub screw so they can't come off. grab one knob pull it up and towards yourself. this seems to make some sort of short circuit and it stops happening. stove works again like normal! Problem fixed! 8

Uhmm what if all the clickers sound at the same time... my housemaid tried cleaning it i suspect she used way too much water but dont take my word for it... thing is when I plug the stove all 6 clickers start clicking albeit slower than when you press the knob to ignite a burner any ideas?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Clearjab Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. Let’s get this figured out. A few things come to mind. 1. Spark Ignition Your spark ignition is in charge of starting the Spark process...if it fails, all burners will click. 2. Spark Module Your Spark Module is in charge of controlling all spark sequences & if it fails...you will experience miscellaneous sparks on different igniters...& sometimes all igniters. Replacing both parts should definitely get your stove top up & running properly & efficiently. Keep us posted!

[@Clearjab]

Thanks for replying so fast ill look into it asap cause the clicking drives me nuts its an lg model but lg support in my area is laughable at best might have to bring the DIY out in me

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Clearjab 😃 there is a DIY in all of us 😆 Definitely keep us posted! If the replacement parts start adding up close to the cost of a new burner, you may even consider a new burner come Black Friday/Holiday deals! Definitely an option to keep in mind! 😎👍🔧🔩

[@SkyWire88]

How do I open up the range top? I see no access screws that hold the gas range down.

[@tracikawhite2646]

This is also my problem. I cleaned it I think I used too much water while cleaning because the clicking noise didn’t start till I cleaned my stove. Not sure what to do at this point I unplugged it

[@CdLobo]

What do you do if it’s still clicking? You managed to get yours to stop. Mine won’t.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & it may be the igniter or your actual Spark Module. Below are links to videos that may be helpful. 1. Ignition Replacement kzbin.info/www/bejne/pousmH-prbecedU 2. Spark Module Replacement kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYaqf5mOiJxkl6M Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩

[@TheTerminator414]

Our stoves have a feature called auto reignition, it is able to sense the presence of flame and if it knows the gas is on but no flame is sensed it will trigger a spark again. It senses the spark by the increased electrical conductivity of the flame. It senses this between the spark tip and the flame port right next to it. That means if the flame port is clogged or the spark tip is corroded/gunked up with debris it will not be able to correctly sense the presence of the flame. To fix this clicking issue you need to check two things on every burner. 1. That the spark tip is clean, like this video shows. 2. That the gas ports/flame guides nearest to the spark tip are clean (this was my issue, I had to disassemble and run a drill bit through the tiny holes to clear out the blockage) If that doesn't work, then could be something wrong with the igniter electronics.

[@lukesmith2725]

WOW! What an ingenious idea! Clean something filthy dirty and it will work properly! Are there any other applications I can use this with?

[@bigsassyster]

I'll be using just one burner, and then 2 others keep clicking for the whole time I'm cooking. Why is this?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Dan Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. Great question & this is very common. Anytime you experience this, it’s most likely your Spark Module. Below is a link to our step-by-step video showing replacement of Spark Module. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYaqf5mOiJxkl6M In the event that it’s a single burner clicking, it’s almost 100% of the time your Ignition Switch for that specific burner.

I had a bad spill on my stove and it has been clicking for 24 hours. We tried cleaning it and dryed it. It clicks rearly but the bottom stove part will not turn on , it lights up for a second and then nothing happens. :(

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Higher Self Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. This is more common than you think. Let’s get this figured out together! It’s very possible that the spill that was added to the igniter on that specific burner is causing an interference with the igniters electrical connection. We recommend cleaning the igniter & then getting it lit. You may have to manually light the burner with a lighter....Be extremely careful. Once it’s lit, allow the burner to burn for several minutes...it may take up to 25 minuets or so to allow that burner to burn off any additional particles in order to allow the electrical current to work properly & efficiently again.
