How to find Kenmore Grill model number?
For your Kenmore gas grill, the model number is printed on the grill’s rating label; on model 14623678310, it’s typically on the back of the grill base or inside the cabinet area. Write the full model number down exactly as shown before ordering parts or requesting service.
Where to look on the grill
Check these common label locations first:
- Back panel of the grill base (rear of the cabinet)
- Inside the cabinet (open the doors and look on the inner side walls)
- Side panel near the propane tank holder area
- Under a side shelf or along the frame rail
- Near the control panel area (less common)
What to record from the label
To match parts correctly for Kenmore model 14623678310, copy these items:
- Model number (example format: 146.23678310 or 14623678310)
- Serial number (if listed)
- Gas type (LP/propane or natural gas)
- Any manufacturer code or production date code
Quick tips to avoid mix-ups
Small differences in the model number can change the correct burner, valve, or hardware.
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Extra digits or dots | Same model family, different variant | Copy it exactly, including punctuation |
| Worn or greasy label | Hard to read characters | Clean gently, then take a clear photo |
| Multiple labels | Different assemblies | Use the label that lists the model number |

How to ignite a Kenmore gas grill?
To ignite your Kenmore 14623678310 gas grill, we recommend lighting it with the built-in igniter first; if it will not light, use the manual-lighting method through the match-light hole while keeping your face and hands away from the firebox. See the 14623678310 owner's manual for the exact lighting steps for your control panel.
Standard ignition (using the igniter)
- Open the grill lid before turning on any gas.
- Confirm the LP tank valve is fully open (turn counterclockwise).
- Turn one main burner control knob to HIGH/IGNITE.
- Press and hold the igniter button until the burner lights.
- Once the first burner is lit, turn on the remaining burners as needed.
Manual lighting (match-light) if the igniter will not spark
Use this method when you smell no gas at the burner or the igniter will not click/spark.
- Open the lid.
- Insert a long match or long-reach lighter through the match-light hole.
- Light the match/lighter first.
- Turn the burner control knob to HIGH to release gas.
- If the burner does not light within about 5 seconds, turn the knob OFF and wait 5 minutes before trying again.
Quick checks if it will not light
| Symptom | Most common cause | What we do next |
|---|---|---|
| No spark/click | Dead battery, loose wire, bad igniter | Try manual lighting; then follow gas grill wont ignite or light video |
| Sparks but no flame | No gas flow, closed tank valve, regulator issue | Check tank level and valve; reset regulator |
| Lights then goes out | Burner ports clogged, wind, low gas | Clean burner ports; shield from wind |
Why it matters
Lighting with the lid open and using the 5-minute wait rule helps prevent a flare-up from pooled gas. It also protects the burner valves and ignition components from heat damage.
