Kenmore Elite 41516139110 gas grill Parts

Yes. On the Kenmore Elite 41516139110 gas grill, replacing the main burners is a straightforward DIY repair when burners are rusted, cracked, or have enlarged ports; the key is shutting off gas first and reinstalling the new burner tubes so they fully re-engage the valve openings (orifices). See the 41516139110 owner's manual for the exact burner removal and reassembly sequence.

Before you start (safety and setup)

• Turn all control knobs to OFF.
• Shut off gas at the LP tank valve (or the supply shutoff for natural gas setups).
• Let the grill cool completely; remove any grease buildup you can reach.
• Work in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
• Keep the lid open while you’re disassembling and re-lighting.

Burner replacement overview (what you’ll do)

Most burner swaps follow the same flow described in the manual:

• Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers/heat tents.
• Detach the electrode clip from the burner (the electrode stays in the firebox).
• Pull hitch pins and remove the carryover tube(s) from the front of the burners.
• Lift burners up and away from the valve openings.
• Install the replacement burner and confirm proper burner-to-valve engagement.

If you’re replacing a corroded main burner, use the model-matched char-broil gas grill main burner G517-7300-W1.

Clean or replace? (quick decision guide)

What you see	What it usually means	Best next step
Weak flame, hard to light after storage	Spider webs or debris in venturi/burner tube	Remove and clean burner tubes
Small clogged ports	Grease and carbon buildup	Clear ports with a stiff wire
Large cracks, holes, or heavy rust-through	Metal failure from heat and corrosion	Replace the burner

Why it matters

A burner that is clogged or not seated correctly on the valve can cause poor heating, uneven flames, and ignition problems. Cleaning or replacing the burner assembly also helps prevent flashback issues caused by insects nesting in burner tubes.

To light your Kenmore Elite gas grill model 41516139110, open the lid, turn on the LP cylinder gas, then push in and turn a burner knob to the HI/ignite position and hold the electronic ignitor until the burner lights. Use the match-light method if the ignitor will not spark (see the 41516139110 owner's manual).

Standard (electronic ignitor) lighting steps

• Open the grill lid before lighting.
• Turn OFF all burner control knobs first.
• Turn ON gas at the LP cylinder.
• Push in and turn the burner control knob to HI/ignite.
• Press and hold the ELECTRONIC IGNITOR button until the burner ignites.
• Set the flame to your desired heat level.

If it does not light right away

If ignition does not occur within 5 seconds:

• Turn the burner control knob OFF.
• Wait 5 minutes for gas to clear.
• Repeat the lighting steps.

Match-lighting (manual lighting) for main burners

Use match-lighting when the ignitor is not working or the battery/module is weak.

• Open the grill lid.
• Turn on gas at the LP cylinder.
• Place a match in the match holder (typically stored on the cart).
• Light the match and insert it through the cooking grates.
• Position the lit match next to the far-left main burner.
• Push in and turn the far-left control knob to HI/ignite.
• Light the remaining burners left to right.

Quick safety checks before lighting

• Keep your face and body back; do not lean over the grill while lighting.
• If you smell heavy gas, turn knobs and the LP cylinder OFF, then wait 5 minutes.
• Never use water on a grease fire; shut off controls and the LP cylinder instead.

Common “no ignition” causes and what to do

Symptom	Most likely cause	What we do next
No clicking/spark	Failed igniter or module	Inspect/replace the gas grill igniter G515-0014-W1
Spark present, no flame	Gas not reaching burner	Confirm LP cylinder valve is open; check burner ports
One burner lights, others do not	Carryover issue	Inspect/replace the char-broil gas grill carryover tube G524-0036-W1

Why it matters

Lighting with the lid open and using the 5-second/5-minute rule helps prevent delayed ignition and flare-ups. It also protects the igniter system and reduces the chance of a grease fire during preheat.

Yes, it’s worth fixing a Kenmore Elite gas grill like model 41516139110 when the firebox and cabinet are solid and the problem is limited to serviceable items (ignition, burners, carryover tube, grease handling). Replacement makes more sense when structural rust, warping, or persistent gas leaks make the grill unsafe or the repair cost approaches a new unit.

Quick decision checklist

• Fix it if the grill lights and heats unevenly due to clogged burner tubes, a weak igniter spark, or worn burners.
• Fix it if parts are readily available and the repair is straightforward (burner, ignition module, electrode).
• Replace it if the firebox bowl or base is badly rusted through or warped.
• Replace it if you see signs of flashback (fire behind the control panel) caused by blocked venturi tubes and the damage is extensive.
• Stop using it immediately if a leak test shows “growing” bubbles and tightening connections does not stop the leak.

Safety items that change the answer

Your 41516139110 owner’s manual calls out two big safety deal-breakers:

• Gas leaks: If leak-test bubbles keep growing after tightening, close the LP tank valve immediately and do not keep operating the grill.
• Flashback risk: Spiders and insects can block burner venturi tubes; backed-up gas can ignite behind the control panel. Cleaning the burner and burner tube assembly after long storage helps prevent this.

Common “worth it” repairs for this model

These are typical, cost-effective fixes when the grill body is still in good shape:

Symptom	Likely cause	Common fix
Hard to light	Weak ignition spark, dirty burner ports	Clean burner; replace igniter if needed
One burner won’t light from another	Failed carryover tube	Replace carryover tube
Low/uneven flame	Blocked venturi tube (spider webs), clogged ports	Remove and clean burner tubes
Grease flare-ups	Grease tray missing or overflowing	Reinstall and empty grease tray after each use

Model-matched parts that often solve these issues include the char-broil gas grill main burner G517-7300-W1 and the char-broil gas grill carryover tube G524-0036-W1.

Why it matters

A grill that is structurally sound but suffering from ignition or airflow problems is usually a good repair candidate. A grill with ongoing leaks, severe rust-through, or flashback damage is a safety risk; replacing it protects your home and keeps cooking performance consistent.

On the Kenmore Elite 41516139110 gas grill, the main parts are the cooking grates (where food sits), burners (make the flame), heat diffusers or flame tamers (spread heat and reduce flare-ups), the ignition system (lights the gas), controls (valves and knobs), and the grease system (catches drippings). For the exact component names used for your grill, use the 41516139110 owner's manual.

Common gas grill parts and what they do

• Cooking grates: hold food and create sear marks
• Main burners: mix gas and air to produce the cooking flame
• Carryover tube (crossover tube): carries flame from one burner to the next for easier lighting
• Flame tamer / heat diffuser: shields burners and evens out heat
• Igniter system: electrode, ignition module, wiring, and sometimes a transformer
• Temperature gauge: shows approximate lid temperature
• Grease tray: collects grease to help prevent flare-ups

Why the names matter when ordering parts

Many grill components have “everyday” names and “parts list” names. Using the manual’s terminology helps you pick the correct replacement and avoid ordering a similar-looking part that mounts differently.

Quick safety and maintenance notes (from the manual)

• Use the grill only in a well-ventilated outdoor area; never in enclosed spaces.
• Keep the grill at least 3 ft. from walls and maintain clearance from ignition sources.
• If lighting gets difficult or flames get weak, clean burner tubes; spiders and insects can block venturi tubes and cause flashback.
