constant clicking from my cooker

[SpiderRoot]

My cooker is making a constant clicking noise, the clicking should come on when i turn to dial to whatever gas mark, then stop when the gas has lit, but after about 5 mins of it being lit it starts clicking again. any ideas ?

You haven't left the gas-meter man in the oven have you? They often make clicking noises when trapped in confined places. Hope this helps.

The clicking is likely to be the spark from the igniter. The oven will have a sensor that works from the heat of the flame to stop the igniter from working once the gas is lit. It might be that this sensor has somehow become faulty.

sounds like there is a tap dancer stuck in there

Depending on the age of the cooker, try a new battery for the ignition spark.

The electrode sensor has probably moved and is not sensing a flame so it is constantly trying to ignite the gas. Or it is faulty and needs replacing.
