Today I was cleaning the stove and bumped one of the electric igniters, it shocked me, and then all 4 stove igniters started clicking and will not stop clicking. I have unplugged the stove to stop the clicking, but if I plug it back in it starts clicking again.
The stove has a sealed cooktop and is not removable.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi:Sammy's Mom
If the stove top is sealed, then you must have bumped one those sparkers, correct?
If so, try to re-adjust the sparker's tip or point back to the same distance that the other's are set like. Be careful here, those tips or pointers are brittle and break easily.
If there is no damage and you cannot open the top, then it may be likely there is some water or moisture from the cleaning on one or more of those sparker switches. Those switches are located directly on top of the gas vlaves. They are white in color. May also have a clear plastic cover on top of them.
If one or more of them is wet, use your hair dryer to dry them. Allow enough time of hot air to blow on them to be sure all the moisture is gone.
Then re-plug the stove top into the wall outlet and see what happens. If the clicking is gone, great. If not you may need to contact the local appliance repair company listed in the yellow pages.
Good Luck
