Bosch HGS8655UC 800 Series 36 in Gas Cooktop Continuous Click Error Fix: Igniters Click Continuously When Off

Error code Continuous Click on the Bosch HGS8655UC 800 Series 36 in Gas Cooktop means: Igniters Click Continuously When Off. The spark igniters continue to click even when all burners are turned off. The most common cause is moisture around the igniter electrodes — after boiling over or cleaning the cooktop with water, moisture can create a path that triggers continuous sparking. Dry the area around each igniter thoroughly. Turn off the circuit breaker and allow the cooktop to dry for several hours. If clicking continues after drying, a burner switch may be stuck or shorted. The spark module may need replacement if it is continuously energized.
