Why does my gas stove keep clicking?
Most common cause on a Frigidaire stove in Toronto: moisture under the burner caps after cleaning or a boil-over (gas-only). A typical repair runs $150–$330 all-in, including the $149.95 diagnostic, credited 100% toward your repair. Annoying and wears the igniter, but you can still cook; book at your convenience.

Most Frigidaire stove faults in Toronto come down to a handful of parts — and the majority are worth repairing rather than replacing an appliance that typically lasts 13–15 years. Anthony is a Red Seal certified technician who carries the common stove parts on the van, so most jobs in Toronto are diagnosed and fixed in a single visit.

Frigidaire stove gas burner clicks constantly in Toronto — what we check
- Whole top clicks even with every knob OFF: the lead suspect is a wet or shorted spark ignition switch (genuine Frigidaire 318163400; the Electrolux-NA equivalent 316032000 carries the Frigidaire-badged sibling 316032002), not the module. Each switch only closes at the LITE position to feed the spark module; a boil-over or humid kitchen bridges its contacts so it sends continuous voltage no matter where the dials sit. Per RepairClinic we meter each switch for continuity at ALL settings - continuity in the OFF position means it's shorted and gets replaced - and on a clearly wet unit we dry it 24h unplugged (or low-heat blow-dryer around the knobs) and re-test before condemning anything, because a $0 dry-out beats a needless part on a same-day call. On harness-fed models the same fault is supplied as the switch-and-harness assembly 5304537872.
- One burner clicks continuously while the others behave: the surface burner igniter electrode 316011200 (PS436633, AP2123862; replaces 5303311262) is cracked or carbon-tracked, so the spark leaks to ground through the hairline crack in the ceramic insulator instead of jumping the gap. With the spark bleeding off, the module never sees a confirmed flame and keeps pulsing that electrode. We inspect the insulator and watch for a visible flashover at the crack in a darkened kitchen before swapping the $20-$40 electrode - a single-position fix that never touches the module.
- Good flame but the burner keeps clicking after it lights (the misdiagnosed one): many Frigidaire surface burners confirm light-off through a ground/flame-sense path, so when the electrode (316011200) is defective or the orifice holder isn't grounding, the module can't sense the flame and keeps sparking after ignition. Per RepairClinic's 'burners spark all the time' guidance, if the burner has a good flame but the igniter keeps clicking the orifice holder may be misaligned/not grounding - we reseat or replace the holder and clean the electrode tip rather than condemning the module, which is the classic 'flame is on but it won't stop clicking' fault.
- Burner cap seated off its locating tabs (clicks forever, weak or no light): RepairClinic's 'Frigidaire Gas Stove Burners Spark All The Time' guidance names an off-center or corroded burner cap as a constant-spark cause - a cap sitting proud, rotated, or corroded moves its grounding edge away from the electrode gap, so the spark can't complete its arc and the module never sees a lit flame to stop firing (Frigidaire support article 1847383 separately confirms caps must be seated firmly and level, though that article addresses burners that won't light rather than constant clicking). We reseat each cap to its tabs and clean corrosion off the cap/base contact before touching ignition hardware - a no-parts fix that resolves a large share of these calls.
- The high-output right-front (17K BTU) position clicks on its own: that zone uses the surface burner igniter and orifice holder assembly 316536622 (PS2368573; replaces 316449603), which combines the electrode AND the brass orifice. A cracked electrode on the assembly or a bent/ungrounded holder reads as 'RF burner clicks, weak or no flame' - and because the holder also carries the ground path, a misaligned 316536622 produces the exact 'good flame, won't stop clicking' behaviour. We confirm RF-specific behaviour (the other burners light and stop clicking cleanly) before ordering 316536622 rather than the bare electrode.
- Every burner clicks in unison, switches and electrodes test clean: now it's the shared surface burner spark module 316135702 (PS2350722; replaces 316135701; supplied as 5304505695). One module pulses every electrode, so a genuine module failure is all-or-nothing across the cooktop and clicks even with everything bone-dry and the knobs off. RepairClinic publishes this exact part for the Frigidaire 'burners spark all the time' pattern - but we condemn it LAST, only after the electrode (316011200), the switches (318163400 / 316032002) and the caps check out, because most 'dead module' constant-click calls are really moisture in a switch.
- Clicking that started right after an install, move, or receptacle change: reversed line/neutral polarity at the outlet gives the spark module the wrong reference and makes the burners spark continuously even when lit (documented by InspectAPedia and field techs for Frigidaire gas tops). On any unit that began clicking post-install we confirm hot and neutral aren't swapped at the receptacle with a 3-light polarity tester before condemning a single ignition part - on a correctly wired polarized outlet the narrow slot is hot, the wider slot is neutral, and the round pin is ground.
Frigidaire gas burner clicks constantly in Toronto — the local specifics
- The recurring Toronto pattern on Frigidaire constant-click calls is moisture, not a dead module: a boil-over or a wet wipe-down shorts a knob-shaft spark switch (318163400 / 316032002) closed and the whole top ticks with the knobs off, and a close second is the 'good flame but won't stop clicking' electrode/orifice-holder ground fault. We routinely save customers a needless 316135702 module by drying and metering the switch first, and we see the off-seated/corroded burner cap resolve a real share of these with no parts at all.
- We bring the constant-click kit to these calls: the 316011200 surface igniter electrode, the 318163400 / 316032002 spark ignition switch (plus 5304537872 switch-and-harness for harness models), and the 316135702 / 5304505695 shared spark module - so a confirmed switch, electrode, or module gets fixed the same visit. The RF-17K 316536622 igniter/orifice-holder assembly is ordered by model/serial when the high-output position is the one clicking.
