JBP78W electric smoothtop small burner in dual burner not working
The smaller burner of my dual burner does not work, but the
large burner does. The surface unit light does come on when I am switched to
the smaller burner, but it does not heat up at any temperature. When in the
large burner mode, the small burner does not work at all either. I have
the GE JBP78W model. Would would you recommend I do first.

The burners are controlled by switches, that are the one you turn when you turn the knob. Iwf the burner does not switch to high mode than you need to change the switch. The switch for your appliance has part number: WB21X5243 You can by the part from manufacturer clicking here.
Here is an exploded view of your kitchen panel.
The switch is indicated with number 3 in the picture, There should be at least ttwo of them, depending on the model. That is what you need to replace. Its price is $40.50 from GE.

I tried to find your specific range by Google search, but the only reference to the "jeco----------" is on this forum, so I couldn't determine whether this stove is a gas or electric model.
IFyou are talking about an electric stove burner, then either one of the elements is malfunctioning or broken, or the contacts are dirty or otherwise not making good connection to the stove's burner receptacle. The way to check this is to remove the burner element and swap the similar element into its place to see if it works properly. Assuming the receptacle is not dirty or contaminated with debris, the burner should work normally. If it doesn't (but DID work in the receptacle you pulled it from) then either the receptacle itself is dirty/corroded/contaminated, or the control switch is bad.
My gas oven stopped working properly - called in the repair man and he replaced two of the three ceramic ignitors. (I have a two oven model). Apparently they only last / work well for 3-5 years. Kinda sounded crazy to me - but verified on the internet they are required to be replaced. Not sure I'd call the repair man next time - get the part yourself, one screw & two wires to replace. I'm no expert - but that solved my problem.
the inner burner is broken so the whole thing needs to be replaced. check your owners manuel for warrenty times on the burner. otherwise just replace the burner and that will solve your problem..
same as above but I have a Whirpool flat top range
