No matter what I do, GE Profile cooktop keeps clicking...

callmedpit

I'm trying to get this GE Profile cooktop to stop clicking, but one of the igniters just keeps clicking (fast clicks) whenever I plug the cooktop in. This has been ongoing for months (I've just manually been lighting the stove). Today I tried replacing the harness on the knobs and the module inside...still same issue. I then purchased a new igniter, replaced the clicking one and still same problem. I tried taking the new igniter and swapping with each igniter with no luck.

Does anybody have any other ideas as to what I can do to fix this?

That's the plastic squares that the knobs actually attach on? If so, yes, those were replaced...along with the module they connect to.

Yes, as far as I know they are all the way down. Is there anything else that could be causing a problem?

Short on the wiring. How old is the unit? Our stove that we got with our house, that was not even eight years old, had a control board replaced a year ago, and then started acting up, in that the oven & broiler would not light. I ended up cutting our losses and just getting a new stove. I was not going through the hassle to deal with the old one anymore and felt that sinking about another $200.00 into something that was not even worth $500.00 for the age and how much it was used.

The stove is only about 4 years old. It came with the house that was built in late 2007.

If you have replaced everything conceivable, and it is still not working, you really may have no choice but to cut your losses and buy a new stove.
