When a gas stove surface burner clicks continuously but refuses to light and produces absolutely no gas odor, the malfunction points directly to a fuel supply interruption rather than a spark failure. Common causes include the main household gas supply valve to the kitchen range being closed, a faulty pressure regulator, or a blocked gas line. When no fuel reaches the burner head, the continuous electrical spark cannot ignite anything. You can troubleshoot gas supply safety easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when checking that the household gas shut-off valve is fully open, ensuring gas reaches the manifold, and smelling or hearing normal fuel flow confirms that gas successfully reaches the burner ports.
