The reason for a clicking stove igniter is most likely to be a dirty igniter. To clean the igniter on a gas stove, take off the burner cap and clear away any loose dirt. You can use a metal clothes pin to pick debris from the grooves of the igniter. If that does not repair the issue, it is best to not take a lighter apart without right training; in this case call Rapid Rockford Appliance Repair to determine the issue.
