Kenmore 62260003600 electric freestanding range Parts

Yes, many Kenmore stoves are electric, and the Kenmore 62260003600 is specifically an electric freestanding range. Kenmore also makes gas and dual-fuel ranges, so the sure way to confirm fuel type is by checking the model number and the appliance’s power connection.

How to tell if your Kenmore range is electric

Look for these common identifiers:

• A 240-volt power cord and large plug (typically 3-prong or 4-prong)
• No gas shutoff valve or flexible gas line connected to the range
• A rating label that lists 240V (often on the oven frame, storage drawer frame, or back panel)
• A cooktop with radiant elements under smooth glass or coil elements on top
• No “LP conversion” parts or gas burner components

Electric vs gas vs dual-fuel: quick comparison

Type	Cooktop heat source	Oven heat source	What you’ll see behind the range
Electric	Electric element	Electric element	240V cord only
Gas	Gas burners	Gas burner	Gas line (and usually a 120V cord)
Dual-fuel	Gas burners	Electric element	Gas line plus electrical connection

Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting

Fuel type affects which parts fit and which symptoms point to common failures. For example, on an electric range like model 62260003600, baking temperature problems often relate to the sensor or heating elements.

Common electric-range parts you might use:

• Oven sensor 12001656 if oven temps are inaccurate or fluctuate
• Range bake element 74004105 if the oven will not bake or heats unevenly
• Oven broiler element WPW10310249 if broil will not heat

Ordering the right parts

To reset your Kenmore 62260003600 electric freestanding range, we recommend doing a hard power reset: turn the range off at the breaker (or unplug it if accessible) for 60 seconds, then restore power and test Bake and a surface element.

Quick reset steps (hard reset)

• Turn the range controls to OFF.
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or unplug the cord if it is safely reachable).
• Wait 60 seconds (this clears many control glitches).
• Turn the breaker ON (or plug back in).
• Set Bake to 350°F and confirm the oven begins heating.
• Turn on a surface element briefly to confirm cooktop power.

If the reset does not fix it

A reset helps when the control is stuck after a power blip, but it will not fix a failed heating or sensing part. Check these common causes:

• No heat in Bake: inspect the range bake element 74004105 for visible damage (blisters, cracks, burn spots).
• Oven temperature is erratic: a failing oven sensor 12001656 can cause underheating, overheating, or long preheat times.
• Broil not working: the broil circuit may involve the oven broiler element WPW10310249.
• Door locked or will not start self-clean: the door lock system may be involved.
• Intermittent power: a loose terminal block connection or damaged cord can interrupt power (use caution).

What to test first (simple checks)

Symptom	Most likely area	What we recommend
Display works, oven will not heat	Heating circuit	Check bake element condition; verify 240V supply at breaker
Oven heats but temps are off	Temperature sensing	Consider replacing the oven sensor
Nothing works at all	Power supply	Check double-pole breaker; confirm outlet power

Why it matters

Resetting is fast and safe, and it can restore normal operation after a control glitch. If heating problems continue after a reset, focusing on the bake element and oven temperature sensor helps you avoid repeated shutdowns and poor cooking results.

For your Kenmore electric freestanding range model 62260003600, the model number is printed on a rating label attached to the range body. The most common spots are around the oven door frame or behind the storage drawer, where the label stays protected but easy to read.

Most common label locations to check

Look in these areas first (use a flashlight and read the full number exactly as shown):

• Oven door jamb or frame (open the oven door and check the front frame)
• Behind the bottom storage drawer (pull the drawer out and look on the frame)
• Back panel of the range near the power cord area
• Side frame behind the lower drawer opening
• Under the cooktop edge (less common, but possible on some builds)

How to confirm you have the right number

A model number is usually 10 to 12 characters and may include numbers only (like 62260003600) or a mix of letters and numbers on other ranges. Use these tips:

• Copy the model number exactly; do not add spaces
• Also write down the serial number if it is on the same label
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in
• Match the model number to the parts list before ordering

Why it matters

The model number is how we match the correct Kenmore range parts to your exact configuration (burner elements, oven sensor, door glass, and more). Even small model differences can change which bake element or oven temperature sensor fits.

Quick reference table

Where you looked	What you should see	What to do next
Oven door frame	Rating label with model and serial	Write it down exactly
Behind storage drawer	Label on frame or side wall	Use it to match parts
Back of range	Label near wiring/power area	Confirm before ordering

If your Kenmore 62260003600 electric freestanding range is not heating, the most common causes are a failed bake or broil element, a bad oven temperature sensor, or a wiring or control issue that is preventing power from reaching the heating circuit.

Quick checks (fast, no tools)

• Confirm the range is getting full power (many electric ranges need 240V; a tripped double breaker can leave you with lights but no heat).
• Make sure you are using Bake or Broil (not Delay Start or a timed mode that has not begun).
• Look for visible damage: blisters, cracks, or burned spots on the bake or broil element.
• If the oven heats unevenly or takes much longer than normal, suspect the sensor or an element that is partially failing.

Parts that commonly cause “no heat” on this model

These are the most likely heat-related parts to inspect or test first:

• Bake element: range bake element 74004105
• Broil element: oven broiler element WPW10310249
• Oven temperature sensor: oven sensor 12001656

What each part does

Symptom	Most likely part	Why it matters
No bake heat, broil works	Bake element	Bake is the primary heat source for most cooking
No broil heat, bake works	Broil element	Broil is a separate high-heat circuit
Oven heats but temperature is wrong or swings	Oven sensor	The control uses sensor feedback to regulate temperature

Testing steps (with a multimeter)

Turn off power at the breaker before accessing or disconnecting any wires.

• Test element continuity: Remove at least one wire from the element terminal and check for continuity. No continuity indicates a failed element.
• Inspect wiring at the element and sensor: Look for loose spade terminals, overheated connectors, or broken wires.
• Check for burned connections: A damaged connector can stop heating even if the element itself tests good.

Why it matters

A no-heat condition is usually a simple, high-wear part failure (element or sensor). Testing before buying helps you avoid replacing the wrong part and gets your Kenmore range back to normal baking and broiling faster.
