Cooktop Problem Problem Solving Steps

Are the burner caps positioned

properly?

See “Super Sealed Surface Burners” section.

Is propane gas being used? The appliance may have been converted improperly. Contact a service technician.

Surface burner makes clicking noises

Is the burner wet? Let it dry.

Is the cap and gas spreader

positioned correctly?

Make sure the alignment pins are properly aligned see “Super Sealed Surface Burners”

section.

Is the cooking vessel much larger

than the allocated grate space?

Remove vessel temporarily, if clicking ceases and then returns when putting the vessel back,

it is due to the oversized vessel. You can still continue to cook with the vessel but the clicking

will continue until cooking is complete.

Is the cookware the proper size? Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Cookware should not extend more than 1 in (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.
