Come back from a month in Aberdeen during the festive season to my kitchen gas hob ignition starter triggering every 10 seconds or so without any input from myself.  Have removed all the components all around it to eliminate a short circuit but still sparking.  Any suggestions ? 

Turn the gas on.

My gas ignition was doing that a few years ago after excessive moisture had gotten in to it. Has that happened? 

I just turned the gas on and let it burn for 10 minutes or so to dry it out.

Any chance some moisture has gotten into it?

Could be moisture.

Have you tried turning on the gas to dry out?

Or hitting it with a hammer?
