My Wolf 4 burner (36") gas cooktop will, when on the simmer or lower setting, all of the sudden "kind of blow up" (big boom). I do not notice the click,click, click of the burner trying to ignite at any time before this happens. I don't smell any gas but I would bet that is what the "BOOM" is all about.
My gas cooktop has blown up twice. The first time, the tech replaced all the rings. Yesterday, it did it again. It literally blows the control knobs off of the unit.

Gas is taking too long to ignite. Make sure the burner rings are installed properly. They have grooves that need to line up. Also make sure all the holes are clean.

Hello Sharon, are the two left hand burners "simmer burners" that low come on and go off to simmer a pot? and the right side just set on and turn off without the simmer option?
if yes this pretty much describes your cooktop the part called the potentiometer is going the be the problem.
I'm dealing with this same problem. This cooktop has a dedicated simmer burner which is the only thing going on the lowest setting. This simmer burner seems to be how the igniter senses that it can stop. If it doesn't light, the igniter keeps clicking. Usually cleaning the burner will solve this. You may need to unscrew the nut holding the lower piece of the burner in place in order to clean it up. Good luck!
I had the same issue on my jgp975 and sadly I had to purchase a different unit. I use simmer frequently and I made the assumption that low was simmer. Wrong. I believe a true simmer is 450 btu and my unit did not go that low. I had to check the fine print/specs page and on some units the manufacturer had to be called. I did replace with another ge profile that did have the low setting.
I am not sure of this Model but most of the Gas Rail Cocks ( Taps) when you remove the knob you will find either a small hole drilled into the spindle This would be the Low Burner (simmer Rate) Adjustment there would be a small screwdriver requiredto do this , if its not there ,then there is usually a small screw on the side of the tap under the Knob Hope this will help you
lowly is it the left burners that won't lite? I only ask as depending on the model some of the Thermador cook tops had simmer control burners. This is a 3 part system on the burners. 1 a simmer control, 2 electric solenoid, 3 potentiors. When you turn on the burner the potentior tells the simmer control to send power to the gas solenoid. At the same time the unit will spark. If your unit has extra low on the left 2 burners then you have this system. The usual problem in the potentior. Hope this helps.
