constantly clicking gas hob, where to get spares? Cookworks hob

[Grrreat]

I read around to see that water or grease etc can cause this problem. After investigating, I can see that the underneath of the ignition switch and the two wires and plastic connector blocks attached to the switch have been sitting in a pool of some kind of grease. I assume this is the cause of the problem. I cleaned them but the problem remains. Assuming letting it all dry out fails to work, is it likely to work again if I just replace the switch and the connector blocks or will there be other problems as well?

You need to use a multi-meter to measure the resistance across the switch in the activated & deactivated positions. If it continues to conduct in both positions after you have left it to dry out, then it is faulty. Warm it with a hair drier or similar to speed up the process. New one here https://www.espares.co.uk/product/e...utton?ApplianceTypeId=1092&ManufacturerId=957

ok, thanks. I'll try letting it dry out more and getting the multimeter on it.
