A clicking noise from your KitchenAid cooktop is typically associated with the ignition system. This sound is normal when lighting a gas burner, but if it continues after the burner is lit or if the burner fails to ignite, it may indicate a problem.
- Dirty Spark Igniter: When the flame ignites, it heats the spark igniter. Once hot enough, the spark igniter stops sparking. If it is dirty, it will not reach the necessary temperature and will continue sparking even when the flame is on. Cleaning the spark igniter solves this problem.
- Defective Spark Switch or Spark Module: If the cooktop sparks erratically all the time, even when the burners are not lit, it's most likely due to a defective spark switch or spark module. In any case, professional assistance is required to resolve the issue.
If your KitchenAid cooktop only operates at high heat, the issue is likely due to a faulty infinite switch. This switch controls the power levels of the burner, and when it malfunctions, the burner will operate at high regardless of the selected setting. It's essential to have a professional technician diagnose and repair the issue to avoid safety risks and ensure that the cooktop functions correctly at all temperature levels.
- Electric Cooktop: There are several common reasons why a KitchenAid cooktop is not working. For electric cooktops, issues often arise from a faulty surface heating element or a malfunctioning infinite switch. If none of the burners heat up, it could indicate a problem with the power supply, control board, or wiring connections.
- Gas Cooktop: Common issues with gas cooktops include a faulty ignition switch, a clogged burner orifice, or a malfunctioning spark module. If the burner sparks but does not ignite the gas, the problem may be due to a clogged orifice, a defective gas valve, or misaligned burner parts. If the burner is not sparking at all, the issue could be with the spark igniter, the spark module, or the power supply.

Maintenance Tips
🧼 Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance of your KitchenAid cooktop are essential to ensure that your appliance operates efficiently for a long time. Whether you own a gas, electric, or induction Kitchen Aid cooktop, routine cleaning helps prevent food residue, grease buildup, and staining that can affect performance and safety.
After each use, let the cooktop cool down. Then, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth or sponge to remove any spills before they harden. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for your specific cooktop type. Avoid harsh chemicals or steel wool, which can scratch or damage the surface, particularly on glass-top and models.
Cleaning The Electric Cooktop
Cleaning an electric cooktop is simple but requires care to avoid damage.
- Turn off the electricity and cool down the cooktop completely before cleaning.
- Wipe the surface with a damp, soft cloth to remove loose debris.
- Apply a cooktop-safe cleaner for tougher stains, and use a non-abrasive soft scrub pad to avoid scratches.
- Avoid using a sponge or getting any electrical connections or components wet.
- Use a microfiber cloth to wipe it dry for a spot-free, polished finish.
Cleaning The Gas Cooktop
For gas cooktops, cleaning involves more than just the surface. Burner caps and grates should be regularly removed and soaked in warm, soapy water to prevent grease buildup and clogged burner ports.
- Turn off all burners and unplug the unit. Allow the cooktop to cool completely.
- Carefully remove the grates and burner caps and set them aside.
- Soak the grates and caps in warm, soapy water for 15 to 20 minutes to loosen grease and food residue.
- Scrub the grates and caps with a soft brush or sponge, avoiding metal pads that can damage the finish.
- Wipe the cooktop surface with a damp cloth to remove crumbs and spills.
- Thoroughly dry all parts with a clean towel to prevent rust and ignition issues.
- Wipe down the control knobs but avoid spraying directly on them; instead, spray the cleaner onto a cloth first.
- Once all parts are completely dry, reassemble them, ensuring the burner parts are properly aligned.
By following these guidelines, your continuous clean wall oven can stay cleaner, longer making maintenance simple and helping your oven perform at its best.
Cleaning Induction Cooktop
Regular cleaning and maintenance of your induction cooktop are important for proper operation. Spilled food and residue on the surface can disrupt cooking performance, as it relies on direct contact with clean cookware. Residue can lead to uneven heating, trigger false error codes, or even scratch the glass surface. Keeping the induction surface clean not only enhances performance but also extends the lifespan of your appliance and maintains its appearance.
The cleaning process for this type of cooktop is the same as for electric cooktops.

Keeping your KitchenAid cooktop clean ensures optimal performance, prevents issues, and extends the life of your appliance. A clean cooktop not only works better but also keeps your kitchen looking pristine and ready for everyday cooking.
