Hi Kathryn, Looks like there are multiple problems with the range. In order to fix the top burners problem you have to replace the potentiometer kit which included 2 potentiometers and the simmer control module, and the spark module. Thermador does not make 4 & 5 points re-ignition modules any more. The new 6 points module comes with the installation instructions. If the display on the electronic control is dim then the electronic control board has to be replaced. - The part number for the spark module is AP2836547 - The part number for the simmer control assembly is AP3672574 - The part number for the ERC (electronic oven control) is AP2836528 Here are the break down diagrams for the Thermador range Model RDSS30 S/N 9707 & UPGene.

I think this may be a common reason and solution for constant clicking...
Last night, we had a problem with our 5-burner Thermador clicking continuously (until power unplugged), without any burners being turned on. This occured after an over-zealous cleaning. I tried cleaning carefully around the burners and ignitors, but nothing would help.
Even after 24 hours, plugging in the power would start the clicking again immediately. My wife admitted she had maybe used too much water, so we guessed it was a moisture problem below the cooktop surface. I removed the control burner knobs, and carefully pried up the protective ring below each knob so I could see the controls below. I cleaned the obvious crud off of the controls, and then put a small ceramic fan heater over two of the holes, and turned it on high. Hot air blowing back out the other 3 holes.
This heated up the cavity pretty good, and after about 20-30 minutes of hot air... success!... everything is good now.
Have to give my wife credit for thinking of the heater... I was ready to pull the whole cooktop out and take it apart.
My guess is that this is a very common cause of this, and also explains the intermittent nature, since eventually the water would dry out on it's own.

My Thermador range clicking problem is odd.
Every day, the first time you try to use the range (six star burners, two are xlo) the igniters click perfectly, but there is NO gas flow to any burner. Sometimes for a few minutes of clicking.
Finally, the gas starts to flow to all "on" burners. Then, we are good for the rest of the day--turn the knob, 1 or two clicks and gas flows and lights perfectly.
What to do???????

I have a 4 burner Thermador dual fuel oven/cooktop, RDSS30. During an oven cleaning cycle, one of the xlo igniters began to spark. When I tried to turn the burner on, the flame came up for a moment and then the gas to that burner shut off. I tried both burners several times with the same result. I left it alone and let the oven finish the cycle. The next morn, the xlo burners were entirely dead. No spark, no light, no gas. The two burners on the opposite side are fine. Igniter? Gas control? One of the Pots? Thanks, cb

I'm wondering and hoping that this is the case because we have a professional cooktop that has 4 burners, the two burners on the right give sparks when turned on, but the two extra low knobs that are connected to the simmer control module seem to do nothing when the knob is turned. Even the red light doesn't go on. Is gas the issue or do I have something broken im my cooktop?
Thank you very much
Stacy WhyThermador, Sorry I can't help you, but I have the exect same problem on my PG-30. It's brand new and I connected it yesterday. The normal burners on the right work, as does the oven. The 2 XLO burners don't spark and gas doesn't flow. The blue light of the XLO burners does come on when I turn the knobs. Called Thermador and they suspect the ignition switch and have given me the numbers of a couple repair folks. They don't have time to come out until next week... but they did tell me it was safe to use the two working burners and oven. Does anyone disagree with that? Thanks, JB

Here is the results: Ordered the spark igniter.. no such luck. Frustrated..looked further. Zoned in on simmer control. Had back cover that could be easily popped off. Saw 2 brown darkened spots on terminal board. Figured that was the source of the problem. Ordered the simmer control... peace at last. FIXED!!! looks like I have a spare igniter on my shelf if it ever goes out in the future. The info here was good and timely. Orders were taken and processed well. Appreciate the forum. Thanks again and hope I never need the service again, but highly recommend to anyone a little handy and looking to fix it themselves. Thanks again.
