Continuous clicking on gas cooktops in Mountain View stems from mineral boil-over deposits and dry-climate dust accumulation in switch assemblies. City water at 250 ppm TDS leaves mineral traces from boil-overs. Fine Silicon Valley dust accumulates in switch housings and mixes with cooking grease to form conductive paste. The dry climate at 84°F prevents moisture clicking entirely. Ranch homes being renovated with premium cooktops have sealed ignition that resists contamination. Google-area premium installations click less frequently than standard open-burner designs due to better environmental sealing.

In Mountain View, wide day-night temperature swings (30f+ delta) stress thermal expansion joints, thermostat cycling, and sealed-system pressures. This can affect your appliance's flex gas connector: thermal cycling fatigues the corrugated stainless steel gas connector, increasing the risk of micro-cracks at the flare fitting Have the gas connector inspected during annual service; replace corrugated connectors every 10 years proactively
