What Igniters Spark After Ignition means

On Bertazzoni DFS XT dual-fuel ranges, such as the MAS304DFSXT and PRO304DFSXT, igniters that keep sparking continuously after the flame has lit mean the ignition micro-switches remain incorrectly engaged. The guidance is to have a qualified technician repair them. The burner itself lights and burns, but the owner hears a steady clicking from the cooktop for as long as the flame is on.

Common causes of Igniters Spark After Ignition

  • An ignition micro-switch that stays engaged after the knob is turned
  • A knob that does not fully release its switch
  • Moisture or debris around the switch from cleaning
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the burner knob fully to OFF and then back on to see whether the clicking stops. 2. Make sure the cooktop is dry after cleaning. 3. Look for a knob that sits crooked on its shaft. 4. If the clicking continues, turn the burner off and call us. 5. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside.

! Why to stop there
  • Constant sparking near gas is a risk if there is ever a leak.
  • The micro-switches sit behind the control panel next to live wiring.
  • A stuck switch can wear the igniter out early.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Igniters Spark After IgnitionIgniters Spark After Ignition questions
Is continuous clicking dangerous?

Not by itself when the flame is lit, but it means an ignition switch is not releasing. If you ever smell gas, leave the house at once and call the gas utility from outside.

Can I fix it myself?

No. The micro-switches sit behind the control panel, and the guidance calls for a qualified technician to repair them. Turn the burner off when you are done cooking.

Will cleaning stop the clicking?

Only if moisture is the cause. A dry cooktop and properly seated knobs may help, but a stuck switch needs repair, which we quote in writing before starting.
