Kenmore Elite 79041043800 dual-fuel range Parts

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right; the first three digits are the manufacturer prefix, and the remaining digits identify the specific design and feature variations. For Kenmore Elite range model 79041043800, the 790 prefix is the key identifier to use when matching parts and manuals.

For Kenmore Elite 79041043800, the serial plate is typically on the oven front frame behind the oven door; some versions place it on the drawer side frame. The installation instructions call out this location and recommend using the full model and serial information when ordering parts.

• Open the oven door and check the front frame (around the door opening)
• If not there, pull out the storage or warmer drawer and check the side frame
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown
• Keep the lot number or letter too (often printed near the serial)

Most Kenmore model numbers follow a consistent pattern:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): identifies the original manufacturer
• Core digits: identify the base platform or series
• Suffix digits: identify feature, color, or production variations

Using the full model number (not just “Kenmore Elite range”) prevents mismatched parts like an oven temperature sensor, control panel, or igniter that may look similar but mount or wire differently.

Yes. Kenmore Elite is Kenmore’s premium line, and the Kenmore Elite dual-fuel range model 79041043800 is built to deliver higher-end features and performance than standard Kenmore ranges. Exact features vary by model, so we recommend confirming your specific options in the 79041043800 owner's manual.

In our experience, “high end” usually shows up as a mix of stronger cooking performance, more control options, and upgraded fit and finish.

Common high-end traits include:

• More precise oven temperature control and cooking modes
• Heavier-duty knobs, grates, and door hardware
• More advanced electronic controls (timers, delay start, lockout)
• Better heat management (cooling fans, thermostats)
• More serviceable design with replaceable components

Higher-end ranges often use additional sensors and control components to maintain performance. If you’re diagnosing temperature accuracy issues on model 79041043800, a common part involved is the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002.

Because the Use & Care Manual covers multiple models, the fastest way to confirm what your range supports is to check the feature and control sections.

Use this checklist:

• Match the control panel buttons to the manual’s control descriptions
• Verify available cooking modes (bake, broil, convection, self-clean)
• Confirm temperature ranges and timer limits
• Note any special options like oven lockout or delayed start

For the Kenmore Elite dual-fuel range model 79041043800, the installation specs show a 31 1/2-inch cooktop width (the top rim that overlaps the countertop). For the full appliance dimensions (height, depth, and overall width), we use the measurements listed in the 79041043800 installation guide.

Most customers mean one of these:

• Cooktop width (what you see from above): 31 1/2 in.
• Cabinet opening (space between base cabinets): typically 30 in. apart
• Countertop cutout width: commonly around 30-1/16 in. (varies by countertop and trim)
• Overall exterior dimensions (height, depth, width): found in the installation specs

Auction listings and third-party posts often mix up similar Kenmore Elite 790-series ranges (including different oven configurations). For model 79041043800, the most reliable “size” reference is the installation documentation because it’s written for countertop fit, leveling, and clearances.

• Measure widest point at the cooktop rim, not the cabinet opening.
• Measure depth including the handle if you need clearance for an island or walkway.
• Check that the range is level; leveling legs can change installed height slightly.
• Use the anti-tip bracket location and clearances shown in the guide.

For baking performance and door clearance details, we also reference the 79041043800 owner’s manual.

Why it matters: Using the correct installation dimensions prevents countertop interference, door swing problems, and uneven baking caused by an unlevel oven.

On the Kenmore Elite 79041043800 range, the model number is printed on the serial plate located on the oven front frame behind the oven door; some versions place the plate on the drawer side frame. Use the exact model and serial from that plate when ordering parts.

• Open the oven door and look along the front frame (the face frame around the oven opening).
• Check behind the oven door on the front frame for the serial plate.
• If you do not see it there, pull out the storage or warmer drawer and look on the drawer side frame.
• Wipe the area with a damp cloth; grease and discoloration can hide the label.
• Use a flashlight and look for a metallic or white label with model and serial fields.

The serial plate is more than a model tag; it also lists key identification details used to match correct Kenmore parts.

• Copy the model number exactly as shown (for this range it will read 790.4103 or 790.4104 with a color code, depending on the label format).
• Record the full serial number before you start a repair.
• Use the identification info when selecting electrical parts like a sensor or thermostat.

Kenmore Elite ranges often have multiple versions that look similar. Using the serial plate information prevents ordering the wrong control, igniter, or sensor and saves time during troubleshooting.
