the top left burner on my nx60a clicks constantly even when it's off and not in use, driving me nuts

— asked by Alex

Quick answer: Continuous clicking from a specific burner, especially the top left (the dual-power burner), points to a faulty spark module or moisture/debris shorting the electrodes. The module is stuck in spark mode.

Diagnosis

Continuous clicking from a specific burner, especially the top left (the dual-power burner), points to a faulty spark module or moisture/debris shorting the electrodes. The module is stuck in spark mode.

How to Fix It

First, clean the burner cap, head, and the area around the electrode thoroughly.

  • Lift off the burner cap and head.
  • Wipe the entire burner base with a dry cloth, paying close attention to the small metal electrode (spark igniter) and the paired pilot hood.
  • Use a toothpick or compressed air to clear any crumbs or grease from the small gap around the electrode.
  • Let it dry completely if you used any cleaner, then reassemble.

If That Didn't Work

If cleaning doesn't stop the clicking, the spark module for that specific burner has likely failed. On this model, each burner has a dedicated igniter module on the control board. This requires a service technician to diagnose and replace the board or the specific module.

Heads Up

Don't try to bend or adjust the electrode—it has a precise gap. Forcing it can make the problem worse. If the clicking stops after cleaning but returns after spills, you have a recurring moisture issue.
