Piezo stove ignition stays on, what is the problem ?


Question:The ignition on all four burners of the stove keep firing, even if the controls are all on off.

Is it one of them, a central control unit, or ?

Answers:
Never heard of a Piezo.. But most gas cooktops work the same. Behind the knob is a small square "box" that has either 2 or 3 wires going to it. When the valve is turned to the "light" position, the contactor inside this "box" makes and the ignitors ALL fire... If any one of them gets stuck or broken inside, the ignitors will continue to pop. And this is not good for the ignition module, either. That can get damaged if it runs continuously for too long. Pull all the knobs and take the front cover off... see if you can tell which one is the problem and (with the stove unplugged) cut and tape the wires to it. this will disable all the burners' ignition to one side or the other. You can still light it with a match until you can get the part.
