Why Are the Burners on My Thermador Gas Cooktop Clicking Continuously?
A little clicking when you turn on your Thermador gas cooktop is normal. But if the burners keep clicking even after ignition—or won’t ignite at all—it’s time to take a closer look. At Texcen Appliance Repair, we’ve seen this issue countless times, and most fixes are easier than you think.
What causes my Thermador cooktop to keep clicking?
Here are the usual suspects:
Moisture on the Igniters: Spills, overflows, or recent cleaning can leave water on the ignition switches.
Food Debris or Grease: Blockages around the burner cap or igniter can trigger constant clicking.
Misaligned Burner Cap: If the cap isn’t sitting correctly, it can disrupt the ignition process.
Faulty Spark Module or Switch: If parts of the ignition system are worn or damaged, they may continue clicking even when off.
How can I stop the continuous clicking?
Dry the Area: Gently wipe around the burner and igniter with a towel. Use a fan or leave the cooktop off for a few hours to air dry.
Clean the Burner: Remove the cap and scrub around the igniter with a soft brush or toothbrush.
Realign the Cap: Make sure it sits flush and centered.
Unplug the Unit: Turn off the power for a few minutes to reset the igniter circuit.
Is the clicking dangerous?
While the clicking itself isn’t immediately dangerous, it can lead to gas buildup if not addressed. Always turn off the burners and ventilate the area if you smell gas.
When should I call a professional?
If cleaning, drying, or resetting doesn’t solve the issue, it’s likely an electrical or internal component problem. That’s when it’s time to contact Texcen Appliance Repair for a safe, same-day fix.
