• Multiple surface burner valves/knobs for heat control
• Oven interior light and adjustable oven racks
• Self-cleaning oven features on many models
• Storage drawer or warmer drawer (varies by model)
• Anti-tip safety design that must be installed correctly

We recommend following the installation and grounding steps in the 79071462700 installation guide, especially for anti-tip setup and electrical grounding.

If you are asking because you need a replacement part for your Kenmore 79071462700, match parts by the full model number on the ID plate (typically on the right side of the oven front frame area, inside the storage or warmer drawer compartment).

Common examples for this model include:

• Range oven temperature sensor 316490000 (helps regulate oven temperature)
• Range oven light bulb 316538904 (restores oven light)

A Kenmore gas range like model 79071462700 typically lasts 15 years with normal household use. Regular cleaning to prevent grease buildup, correct installation and grounding, and using features like self-clean properly all help you reach that lifespan; see the 79071462700 owner's manual.

• Cleaning habits: Grease buildup can create overheating and flare-up risks; clean the range regularly, especially under surface burner areas.
• How you cook: Frequent high-heat broiling and long bake times add wear to igniters, valves, and controls.
• Ventilation: Using a vent hood and keeping it clean reduces grease and heat stress around the range.
• Electrical stability: The electronic control can be affected by cold storage; the range should be above 32°F (0°C) for at least a few hours before powering on.
• Door sealing and heat retention: A worn door seal can make the oven run longer to maintain temperature.

• Wipe spills and grease after cooking; do not let grease accumulate.
• Use the self-clean cycle correctly; remove items not listed for self-clean before starting.
• Keep burner heads and ports clear so flames stay even.
• Replace failed consumables promptly (for example, an oven light bulb).
• Confirm the range is properly grounded and plugged into a 3-prong receptacle per the 79071462700 installation guide.

If the oven temperature seems inconsistent, the oven temperature sensor is a common fix point; for this model, see frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.

A range that is clean, properly vented, and operating with accurate temperature control cooks more evenly, preheats faster, and avoids unnecessary run time that shortens the life of parts like igniters, the control board, and the gas valve.

To remove the cooktop (top) on your Kenmore gas range model 79071462700, we start by removing the grates and burner pieces, then releasing any mounting screws so the main top can lift up. Always shut off gas and power first for safe access. See the 79071462700 installation guide for shutoff and handling basics.

• Turn all surface burner knobs to OFF.
• Shut off the gas supply at the external manual shut-off valve.
• Unplug the range (or switch off the circuit breaker).
• Let the cooktop cool completely; remove cookware.
• Protect the countertop with a towel or cardboard to prevent scratches.

1. Lift off the grates.
2. Remove burner caps and burner heads (keep them grouped by burner).
3. Look for mounting screws near burner bases or along the front lip; remove them if present.
4. If your model uses burner tube or igniter brackets, remove the screws securing those brackets.
5. Lift the main top from the front edge and raise it like a hood; support it so it does not drop.

Removing the top gives access to surface burner igniters, wiring, and the manifold area. Doing it carefully prevents stripped screws, damaged igniter leads, and gas leaks.

• Range surface burner head 316212400 (often removed for access and cleaning)
• Range screw 316240600 (common fastener used on panels and brackets)

Your Kenmore gas range model number is printed on the appliance’s identification plate. On model 79071462700, the plate is located on the right side of the oven front frame, inside the storage drawer or warmer drawer compartment; confirm the exact format in the 79071462700 owner's manual.

Check these common label locations (start with the drawer area first):

• Inside the storage drawer or warmer drawer opening, on the right side of the oven front frame
• Behind the lower panel or storage drawer area (you may need to pull the drawer out)
• Along the oven door jamb or front frame area when the oven door is open
• On the back of the range near the vent area

Kenmore range model numbers are typically a series of digits; for this family you may see a prefix like 790. followed by additional numbers.

Use these quick checks before buying parts like an igniter, burner head, or control board:

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (include any dots or leading digits)
• Record the serial number too; it can matter for revisions
• Match the part description to your symptom (surface burner vs. oven burner)
• Compare your part visually to the diagram and mounting style
• Use the model number when searching parts to avoid “close match” results

Kenmore ranges often have multiple versions that look similar. Using the exact model number (and serial number) ensures you get the correct Kenmore gas range parts, correct wiring layout, and the right installation and safety instructions.

If your Kenmore gas range model 79071462700 clicks but the oven will not light, the most common causes are a weak oven igniter that is not drawing enough current to open the oven gas valve, or a gas supply/regulator issue. Normal ignition includes a 30 to 60 second delay before the burner lights.

When you set BAKE, current flows to the igniter and it should glow; once it gets hot enough, the oven gas valve opens and the burner lights. A short delay is expected.

• Confirm the range has electrical power (the oven ignition system needs power).
• Make sure the time of day is set; some models will not run the oven until the clock is set.
• Verify the gas supply is ON and the regulator valve is ON.
• Wait a full 60 seconds after turning the oven on; ignition is not instant.
• If the oven was recently cleaned, allow time for any moisture to dry out.

If power and gas supply are correct, these parts are frequent culprits on gas ovens:

• Oven temperature sensing issues can cause odd heating behavior; see frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.
• The oven gas valve can fail to open even with a calling-for-heat signal; see range oven gas valve 316404901.
• If the oven lights but won’t hold temperature, the sensor is a top suspect.

A weak igniter can keep clicking without ever opening the gas valve, so the oven never lights even though the control is calling for heat. Also, the oven’s electric ignition system must not be operated during a power failure; reset controls to OFF and restore power first (details in the 79071462700 installation guide).
