When a General Electric (GE) gas stove igniter clicks continuously even when all surface burner control knobs are turned completely off, the malfunction is typically caused by trapped moisture, liquid spills, or greasy food residue bridging the electrical gap around the ceramic spark electrode. When water or grease coats the electrode, it creates a continuous ground path that fools the electronic spark module into thinking a button is still being pressed, keeping the circuit active. You can troubleshoot continuous clicking easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when turning off the power, removing the burner cap, cleaning the ceramic electrode tip thoroughly with rubbing alcohol, and drying all moisture completely stops the endless clicking.
