The module is hooked up to a series of small switches that mount on each stove knob. One of them has decided to keep a going. The way to figure out which one it is: While it is ticking along use some insulated needle nose pliers and remove a wire off of each switch and put each one back carefully. Keep doing this until the clicking stops.The switches cost about 10 dollars or less depending where you live.

About the icons: The beer is tip link, if a tech saves ya some money buy em a 6 pack. The small green square=personal message. The green dot is a link to my web page on appliance repair and other general BS I love to post. The letter sends me email.
