  6. Cooktop Noises

    Clicking Sound:

    This is normal, when the control knob is turned to “LITE” position, ignition is started and spark occurs from electrode to burner cap. You can hear a little CLICKING noise, which is the sound of the electric spark igniting the burners. Although the burner is firing the knob when turned to the “LITE” position, ignition and noise will always happen.

    Control Panel Clicking Sound:

    This is normal, every mode is making clicking noise for safety operation of the oven & cooktop, which allows each operation to turn on and off.

    Rattling Sound:

    This can indicate a problem with the burner caps. Check that the burners and burner caps are properly installed. The sound heard when you close the door is the sound from the racks that are shaken by the impact of closing door.

    Beeping Sound:

    If a beep sound is heard three times and the gas range turns off during operation, it's because the overheating protection sensor detects high heat. This will require service. Please visit our Request a Repair page for further assistance.


    Burner Troubleshooting:

    1 Scrub pointed areas using a dry toothbrush to remove food remains and other substances and retry ignition.

    2 Remove contaminants from the sparking plug and the heat sensing rod using a dry toothbrush.

    3 Wash off contaminants from the burner cap and the burner head, and dry and reinstall them.
