Amana AKS3040 Gas Cooktop Questions & Answers
Clicks but does not does not igite
Hello, thank you for your post. It sound like your saying the burners are not lighting up. Most of the time this is just a simple fix. Next time you turn on your burner notice were the igniter sparks this part of the burner needed to be cleaned. You should be able to take the burner cap off and the burner use a wire brush to clean the surface area so the spark has good contact. Take notice also of the igniter you will need to change it out if you see any cracks around the ceramic housing.
Happy Holidays!

From your description this problem is simple to understand and easy to fix. The wire harness has a loose contact from the sparking rod to the spark module. At either connection points the connection is loose so it sometimes make contact and sometimes not.
So you need to disassemble the unit by removing burner and the top unit so you will find the wires and spark module under top unit.
Here is the link with all above parts of your unit which will help you.

I think it's more likely to be a wiring problem, either bad ground or loose connection on the controls of the spark module connector. Look carefully at the switches on the controls to see if they are asking for spark when they're supposed to be off.

How can I fix / clean the burners / strikers on
Hello,
Most newer gas stove models have sealed stovetop burners. This
Before cleaning any gas stove or oven surface, be sure the unit is off
and completely cooled. Steam burns can occur from wiping a hot
surface with a wet cloth or sponge. Follow these guidelines for care
and cleaning without damaging your gas stove or gas oven surfaces.
Most newer gas stove models have sealed stovetop burners. means
they are completely sealed off from the burner box (area of the
stovetop below the metal cook top). Sealed burners should never be
removed by home owners - it's a job only for professionals during
installation and service. Sealed burners also mean that food and
spills cannot spill into the burner box, so removing the burners is not
necessary in order to clean the stovetop. If you have an older model
stove with a lift-up cook top, follow your manufacturer's instructions
for opening the surface for cleaning.
Be careful to avoid the gas ports on your burners. If they should
become plugged with debris, poke the ports clean with a toothpick or
straight pin, or brush gently with a soft-bristled brush. For
pilot-less stoves, check the port and area below the igniter wire and
clear it as well. Debris left under the igniter can keep the gas
burner from lighting.
Clean the solid cook top surface with
soapy water. Avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals as they can damage
the surface of stove top finishes like porcelain enamel. Rubbing
alcohol and household ammonia diluted with water (1:1 ratio) are other
good stove top cleansers that will leave your top shining.
Controls
Remove control knobs and wash them in warm, soapy water. For clocks
and display areas, wipe with a damp cloth and dry. If you are
cleaning the display with glass cleaner, spray it first on a cloth and
not directly on the surface to avoid cleaner seeping inside the
mechanisms. Replace controls after they are cleaned and turn each one
on briefly to ensure proper replacement.
Take care.
Amana gas cooktop clicks when not in use
Take a look at the solutions that have been posted regarding igniters. i suspect a dirty or wet push-down knob. you will see that others have had water/moisture causing problems. drying mights solve it, but it may need a a bit of a clean. keep trying. it must have taken me a couple of hours to solve.
Our Amana gas cooktop problem began with one valve
STRANGE THAT ALL YOUR VALVES WOULD GO BAD AT SAME TIME, I WOULD PERHAPS CHECK YOURKNOBS ( USUALLY THERE IS A SMALL METAL INSERT THE PRTECTS THE PLSCTICKNOB ITSELF, IT SOETIMES SLIPPS OF AND REMAINS ON THE VALVE STEM IF SO YOU WONT BE ABLE TO PUSH IT DOWN TO TURN IT ON, SIMPLY REMOVE THE INSERTS FORM THE STEMMS AND REINSERT THEM INTO THE KNOB IF THIS DOE INDEED SEEM TO BE THE ISSUE, OTHER THEN THAT REPLACING THE VALVES.
