Designing Kitchens and Bathrooms - GE XL44 Gas Range is clicking non-stop - help

Model - JGBP30BEW1AD


Appreciate any help to stop the non-stop clicking noise.

I have done the following so far with no effect:

a. opened up the top cover and see no problem with the wire or the electrodes.
b. clean each of the 4 electrodes.
c. Take out the control knobs and blow dry each.

Also, I cannot turn off the power for the stove itself without shutting off other lights and applicances. Is it dangeous to let it click all the time? If I push in the knob and turn it to lite, it will fire up normally.

Thanks

Good Morning and welcome to the DIY Forums.

I do not know anything about your stove, but I do know that it should not be making that noise:)

I have electric- it is on a dedicated circuit- is it not the same for gas? That is to say, should any other lights or appliances be on the same circuit as the range?

Someone with knowledge of your problem will be along soon, or you may try having the moderator move your post to the "large appliance" forum,

I have no idea either but it sounds as if (assuming this is a gas stove) that the "piezo ignitor" is constantly trying to do its job. Bad ignitor control???:mad:

Probably need an appliance guy!:)

Sounds like your spark module is messed up - this can be a DIY project if you're comfortable removing the stovetop and playing with wiring. If all the ignitors are sparking (look at them in a dark room) then it's probably the spark module... If it's a single ignitor, then it's the ignitor switch on that particular control knob...

I'm not an expert - just googled another troubleshooting site for GE products...
