This worked. My cooker has stopped clicking wildly. I went a step further and removed the top cover by removing the small screws you can see here. They are star shaped for safety. ( risk of electrocution) I found two igniter cables literally lying in a pool of oil. I cleaned it all up and walla , no more annoying clicks. ! Thanks mate!!

Awesome worked! Save my weekend - thanks so much! Clicking suddenly started while nothing was on (scary). Then turned off the breaker, cleaned the around the spark plug. Didn’t work. Then turned everything on, ignited all the burners, hit the breaker , let all the burners run on simmer/low for 30 minutes without power, turned off the burners, turned power back on and NO noise!

I didn't have rubbing alcohol, so instead as a quick fix (after putting the burner on for some time did not help) I switched on the underneath oven to 350 F and let it sit there for 10 mins. I think that heats and warms the underneath layer of the cook top and helps get any moisture stuck there. The clicking stopped for me after that

This pretty much works almost every time. Give it another go. Try leaving burners on longer. Then try cleaning and sanding more thoroughly. Then try burners again. It should work.
Thank you for video. I have a new cooker and this exact problem started up yesterday. I found this video this morning and problem solved straight away ☺
1 - Check someone hasn’t turned the cooker off at the wall. 2 - Check the cooker hasn’t been unplugged. 3 - Check the consumer unit to make sure you haven’t ‘tripped’ one of the RCDs. 4 - Check the plug to make sure you haven’t tripped the fuse. These are solutions for an electrical system in England. If you’re from somewhere else, comment below where you’re from and my viewers may be able to help you out. Please let me know how you get on.
Thanks Joseph. Glad you enjoyed it and I hoped it helped you. Feel free to indulge in some more of my presentation skills, buy watching and commenting on a few more of my other videos.
My Jenn-air works the for the first part but once I turn off the stove, it started clicking again. I couldn’t clean it because there’s no way to shut off my stove, the switch that you have is no where in sight 😫
I think you may be in the states, is that right? I've heard you don't have switched sockets out there, so localised isolation would be a problem. If you have a main fuse board, you could turn off the cooker from the main switch, double checking it's safe of course, and do the cleaning with the cooker isolated from the mains. Would that work for you?

Hi Besmellah. Hmm, I'm not sure, I've only used products which don't leave a residue when they dry. I've not tried soap as unless you wash it off with water (which is one of the things were trying to avoid) it will leave a residue.

By his accent, he is a Brit. They use 220v as their regular elect juice. Hence the plugin switch in regular, house wiring. In US we run 120v. Stove, still is wired for 220v at the panel. In our case a switch cannot conveniently be wired in.
@@BasilRBhan Hi Basil. Thanks for watching. You're almost right. Yes I'm a Brit and we're almost at 220V. Over here we used to be 240V but are now powered by 230V. in our single phase (typical household) supply. It's really interesting to hear that you don't have similar cut off switches over there. It makes us realise how convenient it is and how lucky we are over here. Well, I'm assuing it is a good thing. I'm sure there must be a good reason (apart from the safety aspect of you having 120v over there) for you not having an isolating switch. If you know why you don't have a switch, I'd be really interested to learn. Cheers.
it's my oven that's the problem for me, when I turn the knob to light the oven the gas comes on but ingniter keeps clicking and the only way to stop it is to turn off the knob to off or turn the switch on the wall to off and then the gas goes off. ..my top burners are fine.. so, is it the same principle that the igniter may have some grease or oil on it?
Thanks for watching and commentig Tina. I guess it's the same principle but as the oven gets so hot, it's unlikely to be water in the oven, so more likely to be something on the burner. Sounds like you're gonna have to get your head and shoulders in there and clean the burner off. Please remember to subscribe and watch a few of my other vidoes, for more helpful tips.

Friend, you dont need to clean the white part. it's the metal on top of the igniter that is creating a spark with the metal part that the black cap sits on. the dirt is on the metal part that you previously removed. This part didn't look clean
I’m usually scared of anything electrical but i wanted to try the second method where you turn switch off but fire is still burning. Is this quite safe? My ignition has been clicking for months and it’s driving me crazy!
Essentially it’s two different fuel sources. The gas provides the continuous flame. The electricity literally only provides the spark to ignite the flame. Once lit, there’s no need for electricity, so you dont need the gas on. If your stove has been clicking for months, it’s more likely to be dirt than water but try lighting all burners first, as it’s the quicker of the two options.

all 4 of my burners keep clicking even when they are lite. I tried cleaning as I spilled coffee on the top of the stove and cleaned up real good but the4 clicking or igniters keep sounding. I tried just using the gas to dry up things but I will try again. Kind of weird why it doesn't stop. I even opened up the stove to see if coffee was inside. it wasn't inside but when I put it back together click click click.........
Sometimes it does that, you think you've dried and cleaned it and it keeps clicking. If it does, you just gotta start again and do even more cleaning, as what you did wasn't enough. It's a pain but that's the only answer I have.

Thank you, I just took it apart cleaned it again and it's still clicking. I think it's about 30 years old. Maybe I need to replace it? I used alcohol a q tip. slid a butter knife in between to make sure there was nothing clogging it, but click click click. @@essentialhandyman
When it happens it always makes all of the stoves click at the same time. If you follow the advice in the video, it should solve it for you. Good luck Marchello.

@@essentialhandyman All good now! Clicking stopped! I cleaned it thoroughly and then used my hair dryer to dry it thoroughly and that seemed to do the trick! Thanks very much!
Turn off the power, check all connections are okay, turn on power and check. Anything more complicated and you really should call in an expert. Don’t mess with electricity if you’re not an expert.

I’m having this issue, only one hob is sparking just like in your video and I cooked using that one last night while the clicking continued, tried it again this morning and it’s still clicking, everything looks spotless so not sure why the clicking is still continuing
*update* for some reason the ring that was clicking/sparking wasn’t the one with the issue, noticed one of the other rings was a bit dirty around the ignition so cleaned that one off and it is no longer clicking 🙏 thank god
Glad you resolved it. This is an issue which will periodically happen every few moths or so I think. You've just gotta keep going through the process and keep it clean if you can. E.g. I tend to cook on my front left burner most of the time but I know this week my rear right burner started clicking if I use it. Looks like I'll be following my own advice (again) tomorrow, to get rid of that infernal noise. Thanks for watching and commenting and please remember to like the video and subscribe for more helpful advice.
@@essentialhandyman yes we do the same it’s only really one or 2 burners that get used and because only one was sparking it was just that one that needed cleaning, although something must have spilled onto the back one at some point because after cleaning that the clicking stopped 🤷♂️ haha
Do you know the white stuff surrounding the igniter it looks like a ceramic that you sounded what if that is cracked and broken on one side expose in the whole igniter travel size?
The white surround on my cooker is plastic. It's there to insulate the metal, so that the spark comes out of the section at the top of it. I've never had a cooker where that white section broke. However, I would say watch what the spark does and act accordingly. Does it still spark only towards the gas burner or does it spark in other directions?

Any idea what the problem could be if its still clicking even after I've let the gas run to dry up any moisture and throughly cleaned it? It's a relatively new hob

Had to write a second updated comment ! You are a BLESSING … my old electric stove works again after I cleaned with alcohol and then let my burners burn the moisture out for about 15 mins . It’s like brand new including a good clean I wasn’t expecting 🎉😅✅ I WILL BE SUBSCRIBING 👥🫡😎

Helpful video! I'm still having this issue and have tried your advice, would you have any more ideas? Or do I need to call a handyman/electrician?
This pretty much works almost every time. Give it another go. Try leaving burners on longer. Then try cleaning and sanding more thoroughly. Then try burners again. It should work.
Thank you for video. I have a new cooker and this exact problem started up yesterday. I found this video this morning and problem solved straight away ☺
Really glad it helped you Sharon. Best of luck.
@@essentialhandyman thank you, you too ☺
How do I fix one that the igniter doesn’t come on at all? Mine suddenly stopped sparking
1 - Check someone hasn’t turned the cooker off at the wall.
2 - Check the cooker hasn’t been unplugged.
3 - Check the consumer unit to make sure you haven’t ‘tripped’ one of the RCDs.
4 - Check the plug to make sure you haven’t tripped the fuse.

My Jenn-air works the for the first part but once I turn off the stove, it started clicking again. I couldn’t clean it because there’s no way to shut off my stove, the switch that you have is no where in sight 😫
I think you may be in the states, is that right? I've heard you don't have switched sockets out there, so localised isolation would be a problem. If you have a main fuse board, you could turn off the cooker from the main switch, double checking it's safe of course, and do the cleaning with the cooker isolated from the mains. Would that work for you?
had this problem and your tips worked, thanks so much !

Can we use other staff for rubbing like dishwasher soap instead of alcohol
Hi Besmellah. Hmm, I'm not sure, I've only used products which don't leave a residue when they dry. I've not tried soap as unless you wash it off with water (which is one of the things were trying to avoid) it will leave a residue. I've added an Amazon Affiliate Link to the video description for surgical spirit/Rubbing Alcohol. Which should assist you.

I’ll try to help.
1 - What solution did you use to clean it?
2 - How long did you run all burners for?
3 - Did you use sandpaper to clean the over components?
Thank you very much! Quite useful! I followed your first advice and it worked! Cheers!

Thanks Mate! I wish my stove had a switch on the wall to turn off the power to the unit! (American codes do not require it, alas.)
Thanks for watching and commenting Jeffrey. Feel free to subscribe for more great tips.
By his accent, he is a Brit. They use 220v as their regular elect juice. Hence the plugin switch in regular, house wiring. In US we run 120v. Stove, still is wired for 220v at the panel. In our case a switch cannot conveniently be wired in.
@@BasilRBhan Hi Basil. Thanks for watching. You're almost right. Yes I'm a Brit and we're almost at 220V. Over here we used to be 240V but are now powered by 230V. in our single phase (typical household) supply. It's really interesting to hear that you don't have similar cut off switches over there. It makes us realise how convenient it is and how lucky we are over here. Well, I'm assuing it is a good thing. I'm sure there must be a good reason (apart from the safety aspect of you having 120v over there) for you not having an isolating switch. If you know why you don't have a switch, I'd be really interested to learn. Cheers.
In the middle of trying to fix my oven, what does it mean if I turn it off at the electrical board but the top still clicks?
Are you saying that you think you’ve turned it off but it is still making the clicking noise?
it's my oven that's the problem for me, when I turn the knob to light the oven the gas comes on but ingniter keeps clicking and the only way to stop it is to turn off the knob to off or turn the switch on the wall to off and then the gas goes off. ..my top burners are fine.. so, is it the same principle that the igniter may have some grease or oil on it?
Thanks for watching and commentig Tina. I guess it's the same principle but as the oven gets so hot, it's unlikely to be water in the oven, so more likely to be something on the burner. Sounds like you're gonna have to get your head and shoulders in there and clean the burner off. Please remember to subscribe and watch a few of my other vidoes, for more helpful tips.
Spraying contact cleaner inside the switch fixed mine, no more clicking !
That sounds like a great idea. I'll give that a go myself next time it starts clicking. What type of contact cleaner did you use?
Thanks!
No problem my friend. Feel free to give me a subscribe and watch a few of my other videos, that's the best way of showing thanks.

Friend, you dont need to clean the white part. it's the metal on top of the igniter that is creating a spark with the metal part that the black cap sits on. the dirt is on the metal part that you previously removed. This part didn't look clean
Thanks for the feedback Dror. Feel free to comment on some of my other videos.
I’m usually scared of anything electrical but i wanted to try the second method where you turn switch off but fire is still burning. Is this quite safe? My ignition has been clicking for months and it’s driving me crazy!
Essentially it’s two different fuel sources. The gas provides the continuous flame. The electricity literally only provides the spark to ignite the flame. Once lit, there’s no need for electricity, so you dont need the gas on.
If your stove has been clicking for months, it’s more likely to be dirt than water but try lighting all burners first, as it’s the quicker of the two options.

Thanks for the video mate...first time see the sand paper thing . Pretty nice
You’re welcome New Ideas. Please remember to subscribe to my channel and watch a few of my other videos, for more good ideas.
all 4 of my burners keep clicking even when they are lite. I tried cleaning as I spilled coffee on the top of the stove and cleaned up real good but the4 clicking or igniters keep sounding. I tried just using the gas to dry up things but I will try again. Kind of weird why it doesn't stop. I even opened up the stove to see if coffee was inside. it wasn't inside but when I put it back together click click click.........
Sometimes it does that, you think you've dried and cleaned it and it keeps clicking. If it does, you just gotta start again and do even more cleaning, as what you did wasn't enough. It's a pain but that's the only answer I have.
Thanks a bunch! This is so helpful. Love from Australia.

So why does cleaning it stop it from clicking?What is the theory behind it? Thank you.
I'm not 100% on the scence but I think it's to dirt with a build up of crud acting as a conductor. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please remember to subscribe to the channel and give me a big thumbs up. Cheers.
Thanks so much for this, it did work I just had to give it a few minutes
Welcome Gerwyn. I’m glad it helped. Please subscribe for more great tips. And check out my other videos. One of them (tool haul I think), features a hat I think you’d appreciate.
Mine won't stop clicking. My guy cleaned it using and moisture got in and it's been clicking since.
Char Char, have you tried my methods in the video? It may be that you didn’t dry it out long enough or spend enough time cleaning it off.
Outstanding! Thanks your ideas worked. 👍

My stove won't stop clicking and it's clean and not wet. What do you recommend?
Sometimes what you think is clean, isn't clean enough. It happens to me too. You've just gotta go back through the cleaning process and spend some more time cleaning all the contacts etc.
Thank you, I just took it apart cleaned it again and it's still clicking. I think it's about 30 years old. Maybe I need to replace it? I used alcohol a q tip. slid a butter knife in between to make sure there was nothing clogging it, but click click click. @@essentialhandyman
Any solution if all 4 stoves clicking?
When it happens it always makes all of the stoves click at the same time. If you follow the advice in the video, it should solve it for you. Good luck Marchello.
@@essentialhandyman Got it now, thanks a lot for your reply and your helpful videos. 👍

@@essentialhandyman thanks it did fixed for hearting for longer time. Took like 4 hours on and off.
I did everthing you said. Not wet and perfectly clean. Still clicking. What does it mean when they talk about something being out of alignment?
So you cleaned it and dried it and it’s still clicking?
@@essentialhandyman All good now! Clicking stopped! I cleaned it thoroughly and then used my hair dryer to dry it thoroughly and that seemed to do the trick! Thanks very much!
Great video! Do you have any solutions for one of the hobs not even clicking? Just moved house and one of then aren't working at all 🤔
Turn off the power, check all connections are okay, turn on power and check. Anything more complicated and you really should call in an expert. Don’t mess with electricity if you’re not an expert.
@@essentialhandyman thank you! I will try and see what happens 😉
I owe you a pint, thanks good video.

Do you remember getting a belt off those igniters when you were a kid? 👍 🤣
Hahaha, no. I must have lead a sheltered life.
@@essentialhandyman Or you weren't as stupid as I was 👍 🤣
Thank you
You're welcome Ambimags. Mine started again the other day. So annoying. But at least we know how to stop it. Cheers.
3 out of 4 hobs are clicking - but i think its a fault with the ignition button itself
Thanks for your help.
You’re very welcome. I’m glad it helped you out. Please subscribe for more great tips.
I’m having this issue, only one hob is sparking just like in your video and I cooked using that one last night while the clicking continued, tried it again this morning and it’s still clicking, everything looks spotless so not sure why the clicking is still continuing
*update* for some reason the ring that was clicking/sparking wasn’t the one with the issue, noticed one of the other rings was a bit dirty around the ignition so cleaned that one off and it is no longer clicking 🙏 thank god
Glad you resolved it. This is an issue which will periodically happen every few moths or so I think. You've just gotta keep going through the process and keep it clean if you can. E.g. I tend to cook on my front left burner most of the time but I know this week my rear right burner started clicking if I use it. Looks like I'll be following my own advice (again) tomorrow, to get rid of that infernal noise.
Thanks for watching and commenting and please remember to like the video and subscribe for more helpful advice.
@@essentialhandyman yes we do the same it’s only really one or 2 burners that get used and because only one was sparking it was just that one that needed cleaning, although something must have spilled onto the back one at some point because after cleaning that the clicking stopped 🤷♂️ haha
great video mate
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting and please remember to like the video and subscribe for more helpful advice.
I cant get my oven to spark . Im having to go in with a light 😮. Any advice pls 🙏
First thing I would do is check the fuse on the igniter.
Nice tips Ian! My 1933 Stove still has a pilot light! =D
And will last another 100 years. Some expressions are nonsense but the expression ‘they don’t make them like that anymore’ is normally spot on!
Do you know the white stuff surrounding the igniter it looks like a ceramic that you sounded what if that is cracked and broken on one side expose in the whole igniter travel size?
The white surround on my cooker is plastic. It's there to insulate the metal, so that the spark comes out of the section at the top of it. I've never had a cooker where that white section broke. However, I would say watch what the spark does and act accordingly. Does it still spark only towards the gas burner or does it spark in other directions?
Thanks, buddy... been a great help.👍
