Kenmore 79072902012 gas range Parts

Kenmore model 79072902012 is part of the Kenmore 790 model family, which is widely associated with Frigidaire (Electrolux) manufacturing for Kenmore cooking products. For model-specific identification details (including where to find the serial plate), use the 79072902012 use and care guide.

How to confirm the manufacturer from the model tag

We recommend verifying the full model and serial information directly on the range’s identification plate.

• Open the storage drawer or warmer drawer (depending on your configuration)
• Look for the serial plate on the lower right oven frame
• Confirm the full model number is 79072902012
• Note the serial number for parts matching and service
• Use the model prefix (the first 3 digits) as the manufacturer clue

What the “790” prefix usually means

Many Kenmore appliances use a 3-digit prefix to indicate the original manufacturer.

Kenmore prefix	Common manufacturer association	Applies to
790	Frigidaire (Electrolux)	Ranges and wall ovens
665	Whirlpool	Dishwashers
110	Whirlpool	Washers

Why it matters

Knowing who built the range helps when you are comparing part designs (like an oven igniter, temperature sensor, or spark module) and when you are using wiring diagrams or troubleshooting steps that may be shared across Frigidaire-built platforms.

On Kenmore gas range model 79072902012, the model and serial number are printed on the identification plate on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame. You can see it by opening the storage drawer, warmer drawer, or broiler drawer (depending on your range configuration); details are shown in the 79072902012 owner's manual.

Quick steps to locate the ID plate

• Turn the oven off and let it cool.
• Pull out and remove the storage drawer (or open the warmer/broiler drawer).
• Look at the lower right area of the oven front frame.
• Write down the model number, serial number, and any lot number/letter.
• Use that exact model number when ordering parts like an igniter, sensor, or gas valve.

Common places people check (and why they miss it)

The ID plate for this model is not typically on the back panel. Here are the most common spots customers check first:

Location you check	What you usually find	Best next step
Back of range near the vent	Often nothing, or a generic label	Check the oven front frame behind the drawer
Door jamb area	Common on some ovens	Still verify behind the drawer for this model
Inside oven cavity	Usually only cooking info	Look on the lower right oven frame

Why it matters

We use the model and serial number to match the correct Kenmore parts and specifications for your exact build. That prevents ordering the wrong component, especially for ignition and temperature-control parts.

On the Kenmore gas range model 79072902012, an F1 (sometimes shown as F1 or F10) error typically points to a problem in the oven’s electronic control system, most often the electronic oven control (clock/control board). It can also be triggered by a temperature sensor or wiring issue affecting oven temperature feedback.

What F1 usually means on a gas range

F1 is commonly related to an “internal fault” the control detects while monitoring oven temperature and keypad inputs.

Common causes include:

• A failing electronic oven control (EOC) or control board
• A stuck or shorted keypad (if your model uses a membrane-style touch panel)
• A drifting or failed oven temperature sensor
• Loose, damaged, or shorted wiring between the sensor, keypad, and control

Quick checks you can do safely

Before replacing parts, we recommend these basic steps from a troubleshooting standpoint.

• Reset power: turn the breaker off for 1 minute, then back on
• If F1 returns immediately, stop using the oven and proceed to inspection
• If F1 appears only when heating, focus on the sensor circuit and heat-related wiring
• Check for pinched wires behind the control panel area (after power is disconnected)
• Review the diagnostic and safety guidance in the 79072902012 owner’s manual

Parts that are often involved

If testing points to a temperature feedback problem, the oven sensor is a common, serviceable part.

Symptom pattern	Most likely area	What to check first
F1 appears during preheat or baking	Temperature sensing circuit	Sensor resistance and harness condition
F1 appears randomly, even when idle	Control or keypad	Keypad stuck inputs, control board fault
F1 after cleaning or spillover	Moisture/contamination	Drying time, connector corrosion

Model-related part to consider:

• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000

Why it matters

When the control cannot trust temperature feedback or detects an internal fault, it may shut down heating for safety and to prevent overheating. Addressing F1 quickly helps restore accurate baking performance and reduces the chance of repeated shutdowns.
