Gas stove - clicking when turning on burners

We have a GE monogram gas stove. Lately, whenever we use the burners, the clicking sound that you hear when it's lighting continues for about 30 seconds to a minute before finally stopping. It is so annoying plus I'm sure putting out a lot of gas. Best guess I can come up with is that something happened when our cleaners were last here, though it is happening with all four burners, so maybe is something else.
Any ideas?? |

| We had this happen and called a tech (he was already here for something else). Turns out our burners were dirty and we missed it. Try to do a very good job cleaning one. |

| Do the burners light right away and it keeps clicking? |

Yes. |

| I thought the clicking was the ignition, not the gas. |

| The clicking is the ignition. You should be turning it back a small amount after it ignites. |

Make sure you call GE Monogram for service.
We had a similar problem and it took 3 visits to fix it and at least since we went through the monogram service support, Monogram covered the 2nd and 3rd visit. |

| Mine does that, but only one burner, so I just don’t use that one. I had a repair person come out to look at it a few years ago and it stopped for a little while, but then it started right back up. I think it can sometimes be debris in the igniter or something like that. |

| This happened with my wolf range - it was the misalignment of the burner cap. There is an igniter and if the cap wasn’t properly aligned, it would click. It was pretty finicky and a couple of times I had to use a straight pin to clean the grease out of the little holes. It might be the same with your range. I switched to induction recently, so I’m glad to be rid of that issue. |
