When a Whirlpool gas stove igniter clicks continuously and refuses to stop, 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 spark module into thinking the 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.
