Kenmore 79077483803 gas range Parts

On Kenmore gas range model 79077483803, the model and serial number are printed on the identification (serial) plate on the right side of the oven front frame, inside the storage drawer or warmer drawer compartment. Use the plate details when ordering parts or scheduling service; see the 79077483803 owner's manual.

Where to look on the range

Check these common label locations for model 79077483803:

• Open the storage drawer (or warmer drawer, depending on your configuration).
• Look on the right-hand side of the oven front frame (the frame opening the drawer slides into).
• If your range has a lower panel instead of a drawer, remove the lower panel and look in that same area.
• Write down the model number and serial number exactly as shown.

What the identification plate tells you (and why it matters)

The identification plate is more than a model tag; it also lists key specs used to match parts and settings.

• Model number and serial number
• Burner ratings
• Fuel type (natural gas or LP/propane setup)
• Gas pressure the range was adjusted for at the factory

Quick reference

Item on plate	What we use it for
Model number	Matching the correct Kenmore gas range parts list
Serial number	Confirming production details and compatible revisions
Fuel and pressure info	Verifying correct gas setup and regulator configuration

Tips for ordering the right parts

• Match the model number first, then confirm the part by name and diagram location.
• If you are troubleshooting oven temperature issues, the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 is a common component involved.
• Keep a photo of the plate on your phone for quick reference.

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges often have multiple versions that look similar; using the exact model and serial plate information prevents ordering the wrong burner parts, igniters, control overlays, or gas valve components.

On the Kenmore 79077483803 gas range, the oven typically won’t ignite when the igniter is not heating properly, the range is in a power outage condition, or the gas valve is not opening after the igniter glows. In normal operation, ignition can take 30 to 60 seconds.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the range has electrical power; this model uses electric ignition for the oven.
• If there was a power failure, turn the oven control OFF and reset it before trying again.
• Set BAKE and wait a full 60 seconds for ignition before assuming a failure.
• Look for the igniter glow; a weak or no glow points to an ignition problem.
• Verify the gas supply shutoff valve is open and other gas appliances work.

What “normal” ignition looks like

When you set the oven to BAKE, current flows to the igniter and it should glow like a light bulb. Once hot enough, the oven valve opens and the burner lights.

What you see	What it usually means	What to do next
Igniter glows, then burner lights in 30 to 60 seconds	Normal operation	No repair needed
Igniter does not glow	No power to igniter or failed igniter/control	Check power, then test components
Igniter glows but burner never lights	Weak igniter or gas valve not opening	Inspect igniter and consider valve diagnosis

Parts that commonly fix “won’t ignite”

If the oven is not lighting after the full wait time, these parts are common suspects:

• Oven temperature sensor: if it reads incorrectly, it can affect oven operation and temperature control; see frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.
• Oven gas valve: if it does not open when the igniter is hot, the burner will not light.
• Igniter (bake or broil, depending on the mode): a weak igniter can glow but still not draw enough current to open the valve.

Why it matters

A no-ignite condition is often a safety and performance issue: the oven may never reach temperature, and repeated attempts can waste time and increase the chance of improper operation. Following the correct ignition sequence from the 79077483803 owner's manual helps you confirm what the range should do before replacing parts.

Kenmore model 79077483803 is a Kenmore gas range built on a Frigidaire-manufactured platform. A quick way to identify the manufacturer is the model prefix: Kenmore models starting with 790 are associated with Frigidaire-built ranges, which matches the 790.7744* series shown in the documentation for this unit in the 79077483803 owner's manual.

How to confirm it on your range

We recommend verifying the model number directly from the appliance ID plate so you are matching the correct parts and service information.

• Pull out the storage or warmer drawer.
• Look on the right side of the oven front frame for the identification plate.
• Confirm the model begins with 790.
• Record the full model and serial number for parts lookup and service.

Why the manufacturer matters for parts

Kenmore is a brand name; the actual manufacturer determines the design family and which components fit (igniters, sensors, valves, overlays, and more). For example, common Frigidaire-family service parts you may see for this model include:

• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 (temperature sensing for bake/broil control)
• Range bake burner 316404400 (main bake heat source)
• Range oven gas valve 316404901 (controls gas flow to the oven burner)

Quick reference table

What you see	What it usually indicates	Why you care
Model prefix 790	Frigidaire-built Kenmore range	Use Frigidaire-family parts and procedures
ID plate in drawer area	Correct model/serial source	Prevents ordering the wrong part
Manual lists 790.7744* series	Same design family	Confirms documentation match

Why it matters

Using the correct manufacturer family helps you choose compatible replacement parts (like an oven temperature sensor, bake burner, or gas valve) and follow the right troubleshooting steps for ignition and temperature issues.
