Where to find Kenmore gas range model number?
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.

Why is my Kenmore oven not igniting?
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.

Who makes Kenmore 79077483803?
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.
