Appreciate any help to stop the non-stop clicking noise.
I have done the following so far with no effect:
a. opened up the top cover and see no problem with the wire or the electrodes. b. clean each of the 4 electrodes. c. Take out the control knobs and blow dry each.
Also, I cannot turn off the power for the stove itself without shutting off other lights and applicances. Is it [FONT='Times New Roman']dangeous [/FONT]to let it click all the time? If I push in the knob and turn it to lite, it will fire up normally.
Thanks
Charleson

If your burner elecrodes are sparking all the time, one of your control switches is shorted.

Hi, thanks for the tip.....
Look like I will need to order the right part to replace them. Any particular things I need to be careful of in replacing the old ones?
Thanks again.

The switch just slides on to the burner valve and is held in place with two plastic tabs. Just take a bit of care so as to not break the tabs. You will need to isolate which switch is actually causing the problem before you actually order any parts. You can simply disconnect one wire on each switch until you get the one stops the igniters. Make sure the bare end of the wire is not touching you or ground.

Hi:
Very helpful.... I find the trouble-maker and got it out.
Now, try to find the right part:
I find the following in this site. The part name is a bit confusing (valve?). Can you let me know if this is the right one to order? Thanks a lot.
Switch burner valve
Part Number: AP2023926 made by GE
Mfg # seems to be WB24K14 or WB24K16??

The GE part number you need is WB24K14. The AP2023926 number that it crosses over to is merely a stock number that the parts supplier uses.
