Electrolux EHG641X hob ignition always clicking.
1 Answers
Not sure where to put this little problem of mine but here seems appropriate.
I was cleaning the hob as a little treat to my other half when I think I went a bit OTT and accidentally got some water into the first 2 micro-switches. Now whenever I turn the hob on at the mains the 2 left most hobs always have the ignition clicking.
What options do I have as at the moment we have to turn the electric on, light the hob and then turn it back off.

Water has got into the micro-switch and has shorted it, making the electrical circuit to fire the ignition.
Leave the mains power off while it is wet as it may be an electric shock hazard while it is still damp.
Give it a few days and it may dry itself out, but otherwise, call out the domestic repair man and explain the problem, he may take the switch out and dry it, or will probably suggest replacing the part !
Hope this helps.
