Gas Stove Igniter Keeps Clicking? Same-Day Stove Repair in Ottawa & Gatineau
A gas burner that keeps clicking — even after it lights, or when it is turned off — is usually moisture, a dirty burner cap, or a worn igniter switch. It is a common, fixable fault. B&M offers same-day stove and cooktop repair across Ottawa & Gatineau, TSSA-certified for gas and factory-authorized since 1995.

Common causes of a gas stove igniter that keeps clicking
- Moisture in the burner. Spills or cleaning water under the burner cap make the igniter keep sparking until it dries.
- Misaligned or dirty burner cap. A cap that is off-centre or crusted with food keeps the spark from completing, so it clicks repeatedly.
- Worn igniter switch. A failing spark switch sends a continuous signal so the burner clicks even when off.
- Failed spark module. A bad spark module can make one or all burners click constantly.
- Cracked igniter electrode. A cracked ceramic igniter misfires and keeps clicking.

We dry and clean the burner assembly, check the cap alignment, and test the igniter switch and spark module — replacing the worn part so the burner lights cleanly and stops clicking. Igniter switches and spark modules are stocked on the van; gas work is done by our TSSA-certified techs.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my gas burner keep clicking after it lights?
Most often moisture or a misaligned, dirty burner cap. If it persists, a worn igniter switch or spark module is the cause — both are common repairs.
Is constant clicking dangerous?
It is usually not dangerous on its own, but if you smell gas, turn it off and call your gas utility. Otherwise book a repair so it lights properly.
Can you fix it the same day?
Usually yes — igniter switches and spark modules are on our vans, so most clicking-burner repairs are done in one visit across Ottawa & Gatineau.
