When a gas stove continues clicking endlessly after a water spill, it is almost always because trapped moisture remains wedged inside the tiny crevices around the ceramic spark electrode or inside the burner head base. This lingering liquid creates a continuous electrical ground path that tricks the electronic spark module into thinking a control knob is still being pressed to light the burner. You can troubleshoot wet igniters easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when turning off the gas, removing the burner cap, cleaning the ceramic electrode tip thoroughly with rubbing alcohol, and drying all moisture completely with a hair dryer stops the endless clicking.
