What model is my Kenmore gas range?
Your Kenmore gas range model number is printed on the identification plate; on model 79074143710, that plate is on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame. Open the storage drawer, warmer drawer, or broiler drawer to see the label and read the model and serial numbers.
Check these common spots in this order:
- Open the storage drawer (if your range has one) and look up at the right-hand front frame
- Open the warmer drawer (if equipped) and check the same right-hand front frame area
- Open the broiler drawer (if equipped) and check the right-hand front frame
- Look for a metal or foil identification plate with model, serial, and sometimes a lot number
We recommend copying the full information exactly as shown:
- Model number (example: 79074143710)
- Serial number
- Lot number or letter (if listed)
- Fuel type and pressure rating (helpful for gas range setup and service)
The model number ensures you get the correct Kenmore gas range parts (like an igniter, temperature sensor, or burner components) and the right instructions for service and installation.
| Item on the label | What it’s used for |

| Model number | Matching diagrams and parts to your exact range |
| Serial number | Identifying production run for service history |
| Lot number/letter | Narrowing down version changes within a model |
| Fuel/pressure info | Confirming the range’s gas setup |
For diagrams and label examples specific to this range, use the 79074143710 installation guide and the 79074143710 use & care guide.

Where is Kenmore's model number?
On Kenmore gas ranges like model 79074143710, the model number is typically printed on a rating label around the oven door area, most often on the door frame (front frame) when you open the oven door. Use the exact model number from that label when ordering parts or checking specifications in the 79074143710 owner’s manual.
Look for a silver or white sticker or metal plate in one of these spots:
- Oven door frame (front frame) with the door open
- Along the lower front edge of the oven opening
- Inside the storage drawer area (remove the drawer and look on the frame)
- On the back panel of the range (easier to see with a flashlight)
- Near the broiler drawer area (if your range has one)
- Open the oven door and scan the front frame on the left and right sides.
- If you do not see it, pull out the storage drawer and check the frame behind it.
- Wipe grease or dust off the label gently so every digit is readable.
| Label item | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Model number (example: 79074143710) | Matching parts and manuals |
| Serial number | Service history and production info |
| Gas type and ratings | Installation and safety checks |
Kenmore model numbers can look similar across different ranges; using the exact model number from the rating label helps ensure parts like an igniter, temperature sensor, or control board match your specific build.

Who makes Kenmore 79074143710?
Kenmore model 79074143710 is part of the Kenmore 790-series gas range family; the 790 prefix is widely used for ranges built for Kenmore by Frigidaire/Electrolux. For confirmation details specific to your unit, match the full model and serial information shown in the 79074143710 owner's manual.
We recommend checking the appliance identification label and comparing it to the model format shown in the documentation.
- Locate the model/serial tag (commonly on the oven frame behind the storage drawer, or along the door frame area).
- Verify the full model number is 79074143710 (not a close variant).
- Note the prefix 790; this prefix is commonly associated with Frigidaire-built Kenmore ranges.
- Record the serial number as well; it helps identify production details.
- Use the model and serial when ordering parts like an igniter, sensor, or gas valve.
Kenmore is a brand name; different manufacturers build Kenmore appliances. For gas ranges, the 790 prefix is commonly tied to Frigidaire/Electrolux manufacturing.
| What you see | What it usually means | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model starts with 790 | Built for Kenmore by Frigidaire/Electrolux | Helps match the correct parts diagrams and components |
| Model matches manual coverage (790.74xx family) | Same platform/features group | Improves accuracy when troubleshooting and ordering parts |
Knowing who built the range helps you choose compatible replacement parts and follow the right troubleshooting steps. For example, common oven-heat issues on this platform often involve the igniter, temperature sensor, or gas valve; using the correct part for 79074143710 prevents fit and performance problems.

How long should a Kenmore gas stove last?
Most Kenmore gas ranges like model 79074143710 typically last about 15 years with normal household use. Regular cleaning, correct burner flame adjustment, and prompt repair of ignition or temperature issues help you get the full service life; see the 79074143710 use and care guide for model-specific care steps.
A range’s life depends more on maintenance and usage than the brand badge.
- Daily heavy cooking shortens lifespan compared to light use
- Grease buildup and poor ventilation can stress controls and igniters
- Repeated self-clean cycles can be hard on electronics and door components
- Power surges can damage the oven control board
- Delayed repairs (weak igniter, inaccurate sensor) can strain other parts
These habits are the most practical ways to extend the life of a Kenmore gas stove.
- Keep burner heads and caps seated correctly and clean ports regularly
- Wipe spills promptly to prevent baked-on residue and corrosion
- Use a vent hood and clean its filter to reduce grease accumulation
- Confirm flames burn mostly blue; brief orange can happen from dust or coastal air
- Address slow oven ignition early (often points to a weak igniter)
Many problems that feel like “the range is dying” are normal wear parts.
| Symptom | Most common cause | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Oven won’t heat or heats slowly | Weak igniter | Replace bake igniter 316489403 |
| Oven temperature swings | Sensor drifting | Replace range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| Surface burner won’t spark/ignite | Igniter or holder issue | Inspect/replace frigidaire range surface burner igniter and orifice holder 316536602 |
A 15-year lifespan is realistic when ignition, gas flow, and temperature control stay in spec. Fixing small issues early (especially igniters and sensors) prevents longer heat times, uneven baking, and extra stress on the gas valve and control system.
