Gas stove ignition keeps clicking

Modern technologies provide the kitchen owner with maximum convenience and comfort when preparing food. A year later, it became possible to forget about matches and lighters, because from now on there is automatic ignition. Still, you can light the burner in two ways: manual and built-in. And if everything is clear with the malfunctions of the first of them, then with the second a question arises. The causes and ways to eliminate them will be discussed in this article.

Auto-ignition operating principle

To identify the cause, you need to know how the device works. It won't be difficult to figure this out. The ignition system is powered by a network, hence the name - electric ignition. It is only found in gas stoves.

First, you need to press the handle and turn it to the side, moving along the arrow, which is shown on the panel of the unit itself. The operating principle of this element is as follows:

• When you press, the spark begins to transform using streams of electrical impulses.
• When you turn the knob, the gas supply is turned on, which is directed to the burner.
• The spark interacts with the gas, resulting in a fire.
• As a result, the spark ignites the gas.

You can release the handle after a few seconds have passed. This is necessary to magnetize the system. Of course, the whole process happens much faster than it was described. The burner to which the spark signal was sent turns on. To activate the button, its location can be found near the controls. It operates with a current of two hundred watts. There is a guarantee that in the event of periodic or constant network interruptions, you are insured against interruptions of the device itself. If we look at older devices, then things are a little different. A spark is supplied to all burners, but only one is turned on - in which the gas is open.

REMEMBER!

The entire system will work in one case - only when the plug is connected to the home network.

Why can the electric ignition of a gas stove click?

The base may be different, however, none of them are scary.

1. If you notice a sound after washing dishes or cleaning the stove, it may be due to moisture.
2. Oxidation of the contacts occurs, which closes the circuit.
3. Contact sticking and oxidation due to carbon deposits getting into the button of the electrical ignition system.
4. Due to overheating or combustion, one button breaks down, and then the whole circuit may short out.
5. The button simply got stuck because grease or dirt got into it too often.
6. Water penetration into the ignition function switch.
7. Incorrect operation of the stove.
8. The circuit breaker in the apartment panel knocks out when starting up.
9. If you hear clicking noises and there is no spark, this means there is no gas.

IMPORTANT!

If none of the reasons is noted, then it is better not to take action to eliminate it yourself. You should contact a special service.

Contacting special services is a guarantee of the safety of the whole family, since a gas stove is a dangerous device, and with one wrong set of circumstances, the real problem can turn into a big one.

Basic troubleshooting methods

To eliminate the source of the defect in the work, it is necessary to take action. Namely:

• Eliminate moisture. Due to the salts in the liquid, which, in fact, act as current conductors, the contacts close.
• Disassemble the structure and dry the button.
• Remove the old one and replace it with a new electric ignition.
• Easy cleaning.
• Make sure that only one button does not work; to do this, turn on the next burner; if ignition does not occur, then repair the button.

What to do if the piece constantly clicks on its own

It is necessary to find the sources of problems. Next, follow the instructions for eliminating operational defects that are written in this article. Brush up on all your knowledge about this. It is important not to panic in any situation, strictly follow the rules, only then the outcome of events will be favorable.

REMEMBER!

Most damage can be repaired yourself - it is harmless.

How to troubleshoot at home

Here are steps that can help resolve the possible problem.

• For example, when the cause is water, that is, due to the constant ingress of liquid onto the stove, you need to dry the device thoroughly. You should remove the plug from the socket and turn off the device for several days (recommended two to three). During this time, the device should have time to dry. If after this procedure the clicking noise remains, then you will have to call special specialists who will certainly cope with the task.

ATTENTION!

Under no circumstances use an oven when drying, otherwise moisture will accumulate in huge quantities; let it evaporate naturally.

• When braking the button (using a spring) due to the accumulation of grease and dirt, you need to release the handle and, using a brush, thoroughly clean and allow the rod to dry. It is not guaranteed that the click will be on its own, as before. There is an option when the button will not be pressed all the way due to the low fit.

REFERENCE!

For more productive cleaning, use a soap solution

The unit must be replaced if the unit is used for a long time. This is a natural phenomenon, so sounds can be avoided in such a situation in only one way.

• If only one burner does not work, then the problem is that the wire is damaged; the fault lies in the channel itself of the entire unit.
• If the burner is faulty, it should be replaced.
• However, if the click continues to repeat, you should use a lighter or matches to ignite it.
• Or call a professional technician who can accurately diagnose the cause and repair your equipment.

The main thing is not to panic when a breakdown is detected, but to act consistently.
