I have a GE gas cooktop, the model number is JGP989BC. It has one large
burner, two medium burners, and one small burner. Occasionally, if all of
the burners are on high, and I turn down the small burner all of the way (to
low). The burner goes out. I don't think that is supposed to happen. What
could be causing this? Or, is that burner just too touchy?

Thanks for any answers.

I have the same burner set up on my GE stove. I don't think I've seen
that happen. Is it worse when the oven is on? What size is the gas
pipe leading to your stove? Is it 1/2" or 3/4" pipe?

My last house had 1/2" copper pipe and similar problems. I had my
outdoor gas grill on the line (the installer from the gas co. stubbed it
out with a valve at the end and later I ran it to the grill) and if that
was on high the inside burners would go down but not out. It should
have been 3/4" line, hell that was without the gas clothes dryer running.

My stove has 3/4" pipe up until the last foot, then it goes to 1/2",
then a flex pipe which then goes into the 1/2" inlet of the stove.
I've had no problems.

Well yes that sounds fine. The stove top itself is run off of 1/2". I
had the stove, clothes dryer, and the gas grill all running off the main
1/2" pipe all the way to the tank. Not good at all.
