Hotpoint RGA724EKWH 5.0 cu ft 30 in Gas Range with Sealed Burners and Continuous Grates MECH-BURNER Error Fix: Surface Burner Won't Light or Clicks Continuously

Error code MECH-BURNER on the Hotpoint RGA724EKWH 5.0 cu ft 30 in Gas Range with Sealed Burners and Continuous Grates means: Surface Burner Won't Light or Clicks Continuously. One or more surface burners fail to ignite, or the igniter clicks continuously without producing a flame — the most common cause is food debris or liquid spilled into the burner port area, clogging the spark igniter electrode gap; remove the burner cap (and burner head if applicable) and clean the igniter electrode tip with a dry toothbrush and cloth; ensure the igniter gap is clear; if ALL burners click but NONE light, the spark module may have failed; if ONE burner clicks continuously even when not selected, the igniter switch for that burner is shorted (usually caused by a liquid spill seeping into the switch); moisture from cleaning can also cause continuous clicking — let all components dry completely; on sealed burner models (like the RGA724EKWH), ensure the sealed burner caps are properly seated and level
