Five GE Café gas range symptoms, and the click pattern is what separates them. A burner that will not light is almost always a wet burner, one dead electrode, or the shared spark module — and whether every electrode clicks or only one tells you which. Continuous clicking after ignition is moisture or food debris, a stuck igniter switch, or that same module. Lopsided or yellow flames on these high-output sealed burners are usually port clogs or a cap sitting off its seat.
Counting what clicks is the whole trick here. One silent burner while the others spark points at a single electrode; all of them clicking with none lighting points upstream to the module or the gas supply. That observation takes seconds, needs no tools, and prevents the most common wasted purchase in this category — a spark module fitted to fix a burner that was simply wet.
Cap seating matters twice on these ranges: it shapes the flame and it is one of the connections the gas-smell guide asks you to check. A brief whiff at ignition is different from an odour that persists with everything off, and only the first is normal. A burner that stays lit with the knob off is a valve that will not seal — shut the gas at the wall, then book the repair, because valves are replaced rather than adjusted.
