Gaggenau Range Igniter Keeps Clicking
Range Igniter Keeps Clicking is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
A unit shimmed into an out-of-square Victorian opening
Pre-war framing has moved for a century, and a cabinet that is no longer square lets the compressor mounts resonate against the casework instead of isolating.
A failing fan motor
Evaporator or condenser fan bearings wear out gradually, producing noise well before the fan actually stops running.
Loose or vibrating panels
Cabinet panels or compressor mounts that have loosened over time can resonate against nearby surfaces.
Local conditions that matter here
A range in a pre-war San Francisco kitchen is usually sitting in an opening cut for something much smaller, on a supply sized for another century. Before a burner or igniter fault gets blamed on the appliance, it is worth knowing whether the gas line and the circuit behind it were ever sized for it.
