When a gas stove continues clicking continuously even after you have wiped away a water spill, it is almost always because trapped moisture or residual cleaning soap remains wedged inside the tiny crevices around the ceramic spark electrode or inside the burner head base. This lingering moisture creates an electrical bridge that prevents the spark from jumping cleanly, causing the spark module to keep firing. You can troubleshoot wet igniters easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when turning off the gas, removing the burner cap and head, drying the ceramic electrode and metal surfaces completely with a hair dryer or letting them air dry for an hour stops the continuous clicking and restores normal operation.
