Fixing a gas stove surface burner that clicks continuously but refuses to catch a flame involves cleaning out trapped debris and clearing ignition blockages. First, turn off the appliance and remove the metal burner cap and burner head base. Second, use a soft wire brush or a straightened paperclip to clear out food grease and carbon buildup from the tiny port holes surrounding the burner. Third, clean the ceramic electrode spark igniter with rubbing alcohol. You can troubleshoot ignition failures safely. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when assembling the dry, clean components, seating the cap flat, and turning the control knob causes the spark to ignite the gas into a clean blue flame.
