The liquid's path and affected controls are useful context. Moisture can be involved, but continued clicking should not be assumed harmless.
What the observation means
Do not spray cleaner into ignition openings or use flame to dry components. A spill around a burner differs from liquid entering the control area.
A useful next step
Stop use as appropriate and follow the manual's safe cleaning and drying guidance for accessible parts. Persistent clicking or other changed operation needs assessment. If gas is smelled, follow emergency instructions rather than waiting for the appliance to dry.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
