I have a 20-year old Jeld Wen cooktop and the electronic lighters continue to make an annoying clicking sound, even after the burner is lit. Would love to get this one repaired, but learned that it involves replacing the entire control panel ($$$). I'm worried now that I'll be unable to find a new one that will work with the downdraft. Will keep an eye on your post.
