Q: QuestionI just had the cooktop installed and there is a constant clicking noise when any of the burners is on. Is this normal? If not, what is wrong?

Asked 3 years ago by SiliconValley.

• A:Answer Hi SiliconValley, there could be a couple of reasons this occurs: Burner(s) may click if damp from being cleaned or if a spillover has occurred. Allow the product to dry thoroughly.​ You can speed up the drying process by blowing cool air on the ​burner and control knob shaft ​area using a hair dryer. Products equipped with the reignition feature: During cooktop use, if one or more burners are extinguished due to external causes (such as a water spill, wind or ventilation draft), the ignition system will turn on to reignite the flame. When the flame comes back on, the system will stop sparking, or clicking. If the draft in the room is not removed, occasional sparking, or clicking, may continue. Sparking may also occasionally occur when using the low setting on a burner. If, however, this doesn't seem to apply to the situation you have and you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at KitchenAid 800-422-1230 M-F 8 AM to 6 PM ET or via Facebook https://www.facebook.com/KitchenAid or Twitter @KitchenAidCare.

Q: QuestionI'm trying to replace my current Dacor 36' gas cooktop with this one, if it needs to cut the marble to fit the size, does the installation service cover that and any adjustments to make it work?

Asked 5 years ago by zzseattle.

• A:Answer I just hope it works for you when you get it installed. My $5000 kitchen aid refrigerator did not work. On the 21st the delivery people couldn’t wait to shove my refrigerator into the space scratching my new hardwood floors and run out. Told me to wait 24 hours for unit to maintain right temperature. My food spoiled and I have wasted so much time and energy and no one at Best Buy will take accountability in helping resolve. The store sends you to a resolution line. The resolution line tells you they can’t help you. You have to call kitchen aid. Hope this helps! Today is the December 28th. Still no resolution!
