    Why is my Thermador Ranges burner clicking constantly?

      Jennifer WrightAug 2, 2025
      If your Thermador Ranges burner clicks constantly, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the manual shut-off valve is open and the unit is receiving gas. Check if the burner cap is properly aligned on the burner base and that the burner port is open, not clogged. Also, verify the igniter electrode is free from debris and is sparking. For constant sparking, inspect the wiring connections at the ignition (spark) module and electrode, and check the grounding.

      If your Thermador Ranges burner doesn’t light correctly, start by checking if the manual shut-off valve is open and the unit is getting gas. Confirm that the burner cap is correctly aligned on the burner base and that the burner port isn't clogged. Check that the igniter electrode is clean and sparking. If you suspect air in the gas lines, operate one of the burners for a few minutes to purge the air. Additionally, see if a fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped. If the burners continue to fail or burn yellow, call Thermador technical support at (800) 444-9091 for assistance.
