    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!

      Boom. Just like that, peace in the home is restored. I find the clicking to be like water torture. Soooo frustrating. Mine has just started doing it again. So long as you realise it will happen every so often, it's fine. You just rinse and repeat. Ps, don't forget to hit the subscribe button. Thanks.

    The new gas cooker was just installed
    A few minutes late when I tried to turn the gas on it started clicking I didn't know what is going on! It's brand new gas cooker though it shouldn't have moisture. Even though the engineer left the gas for a couple of minutes on and also the oven for 30 minutes.
    I tried what this gentleman done. I turned the gas for a couple of minutes then the clicking has gone simply.
    The thing is I don't understand why that happened even though it's brand new gas cooker!

    Opened the top cover of my gas range to clean it up thoroughly. The metal sticking out beside the igniter is a thermocouple sensor connected to a solenoid valve where gas pass thru. It shuts off the supply of gas in case there is gas leak or temperature too high (not sure which of the two). Safety feature I guess.

    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

      Glad it helped my friend. That clicking drives you potty doesn't it? If it happens again (and you have a UK tyope system where you can turn the appliance off at the wall / plug). Turning it off after it's been ignited, stops the clicking.

      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.

    Hello all, Kenmore gas cook top, 20 yrs old but never used. New condition. I am curious about how it was engineered. The knob has to be turned past "high" to initiate the spark ignitor by entering a 3 inch venturi tube. That is a lot of gas spewing out before ignition. Should I install it in a home with kids? Thoughts?

      @essentialhandyman  2 роки тому

      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.

    • @essentialhandyman
      @essentialhandyman  2 роки тому

      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.

      @essentialhandyman  3 роки тому

      Hmmmm, I'm not 100% sure. I tend to use white spirit/turps for removing sticky residues, cleaning paint from my hands,/off of surfaces etc., and meths for degreasing. In my expeeience white spirit dooesn't degrease as well as meths. That said, if that's what you have. Use it sparingly and wait for it to dry before you igniote the burner (it is petrol based after all!!!) and see if it works for you. If not, you can try some meths and conduct your own investigation. If you do, I'd be really interested to hear the results of how both performed.

    • @essentialhandyman
      @essentialhandyman  Рік тому

      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?

    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?

    • @essentialhandyman
      @essentialhandyman  7 місяців тому

      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.

      Hi Beaver. Sometimes it doesn't work and you've got to repeat the process. Just run the heat long enough to make sure it's completely dry and after that, it's a case of making sure you are meticulous with the cleaning and sanding.
