Kenmore 79030472400 gas wall oven Parts

Yes. Gas wall ovens are a common option, and your Kenmore 79030472400 is a gas wall oven model. Gas wall ovens use an electric glow-bar igniter to light the gas burner, so they still require electrical power for normal operation (even though they heat with gas).

Most gas wall ovens, including the Kenmore 79030472400, follow this basic sequence:

• When you start Bake, the glow-bar igniter heats up.
• In under about a minute, the gas valve opens and gas flows to the burner.
• The burner lights; the igniter cycles on and off with the thermostat.
• Warm air vents out at the upper control panel or center trim area.

For model-specific operating and safety details, use the owner's manual.

Gas wall ovens and electric wall ovens can look similar, but they behave differently in a few key ways.

Knowing you have a gas wall oven helps you focus on the right components first. For example, if the oven will not heat but the control seems to work, common suspects include the igniter, gas valve, or temperature sensor.

• If the igniter does not glow, check power supply and wiring.
• If the igniter glows but the burner does not light, the igniter can still be weak.
• If temperatures are off, the sensor can be a factor.

Model-matched parts we commonly see for these symptoms include the frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066 and the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002.

• Do not attempt to light the oven burners during a power failure.
• Keep the oven vent area clear; it gets hot during operation.
• Never cover oven bottom slots or cover an entire rack with foil; it can block airflow and create a carbon monoxide hazard.

For Kenmore gas wall oven model 79030472400, the model number is printed on the serial plate located along the interior side trim and it’s visible when you open the oven door. We recommend writing down both the model and serial number for parts lookup and service records.

Check these common label locations first:

• Open the oven door and look along the interior side trim for the serial plate
• Look around the door jamb area (the frame the door closes against)
• If your unit has a lower drawer, check the frame area near that opening
• Use a flashlight; the plate can be small and easy to miss

When you find the serial plate, record:

• Model number (example: 79030472400)
• Serial number
• Any letter suffixes exactly as shown

The model number ensures you get the correct Kenmore wall oven parts and instructions. Even similar-looking ovens can use different igniters, sensors, or control components.

Once you confirm the model number, these are examples of parts commonly searched for on 79030472400:

• Match the full model number from the serial plate
• Compare the part name and ID to what you’re replacing
• Order directly from the parts list for model 79030472400, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect
• Use the owner's manual to confirm label location and basic feature details

Most gas wall ovens, including Kenmore model 79030472400, are built to fit standard cabinet cutouts and are commonly 24, 27, or 30 inches wide. Single-oven units are typically about 27 to 29 inches tall, with a cabinet depth fit around 22 to 24 inches (overall depth can be greater once the door and handle are included). See the 79030472400 owner's manual for the exact fit and clearance details for your installation.

These are the sizes we see most often for single gas wall ovens:

• Width: 24 in, 27 in, or 30 in
• Height: about 27 to 29 in (single oven)
• Cabinet depth fit: about 22 to 24 in
• Overall depth: often closer to the high-20s once the door/handle are included

To avoid a fit problem, we recommend measuring these three areas:

• Cabinet cutout width (inside the opening)
• Cabinet cutout height (inside the opening)
• Cutout depth (from the front of the cabinet to the back wall)

Also confirm you have room for the door to open fully and for proper venting at the upper control area.

Wall ovens are designed around standardized cabinet openings, but small differences in trim, handle projection, and required clearances can change whether an oven sits flush and vents correctly. Using the model-specific dimensions from the manual helps prevent gaps, binding doors, and overheating in the cabinet.

Many wall ovens are electric because a built-in gas oven adds installation complexity (gas piping, shutoff access, and venting needs) while still requiring electricity for controls and ignition. Your Kenmore 79030472400 is a gas wall oven, and it uses an electric glow-bar igniter to light the burner.

• Simpler hookup: many cabinets already have a dedicated 240V circuit for an electric wall oven.
• Fewer gas-line constraints: routing a gas line to an in-wall cavity can be harder than to a freestanding range.
• Service access: gas shutoff valves and connections must remain accessible.
• Ignition still needs power: gas wall ovens typically use electric ignition and electronic controls.
• Vent and heat management: built-in installations must manage hot air discharge and keep vents unobstructed.

Your model’s manual describes a glow-bar igniter system: when you turn the oven on, the igniter heats up, then the gas valve opens and the burner lights. During a power failure, the burner valves will not open, so the oven will not light.

• Confirm the gas shutoff valve is open.
• Make sure the oven is not in a power outage condition.
• If the igniter does not glow or the burner will not light, the igniter is a common failure point; see frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066.
• If temperature is erratic, a sensor issue can contribute; see frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002.
• Use the wiring and operating guidance in the owner's manual.

Knowing whether a wall oven is gas or electric helps you plan the right utility hookups and speeds up diagnosis. For gas models, “no heat” often points to ignition or gas-flow components rather than a heating element.
