What model is my Kenmore gas range?
Your Kenmore gas range model number is printed on the appliance’s identification (serial) plate. On model 79071152703, the serial plate is located on the right side of the oven front frame, inside the storage drawer or lower panel compartment area; confirm the exact spot using the 79071152703 owner’s manual.
Pull the bottom storage drawer out and use a flashlight to check the frame and nearby panels.
- Check the right side of the oven front frame first (most common for this model)
- Look inside the storage drawer opening
- Check the lower panel compartment area (behind the drawer area)
- Wipe grease or dust off the label so the numbers are readable
- Write down both the model and serial number for parts matching
For this Kenmore range series, the model number typically starts with 790. and then continues with more digits.
| What you see on the label | What it means | Why we need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model No. (example format: 790.xxxxxxxx) | Exact range model | Ensures correct parts and diagrams |
| Serial No. | Unique unit identifier | Helps confirm production details |
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore gas range parts (like an oven igniter, oven temperature sensor, or control board) and to make sure installation and troubleshooting steps apply to your exact configuration.

Who makes Kenmore 79071152703?
Kenmore model 79071152703 is a Kenmore-branded gas range built on a Frigidaire/Electrolux manufacturing platform. We identify this by the 790 model prefix, which is commonly used on Kenmore ranges produced by Frigidaire.
We recommend matching the model and serial information on the appliance ID plate to your paperwork.
- Pull out the storage drawer (or open the lower panel compartment)
- Look on the right side of the oven front frame for the serial plate
- Confirm the full model number is 79071152703
- Record the serial number and purchase date for parts lookup and service
For the exact serial plate location and model format, use the 79071152703 owner's manual.
Kenmore is the brand on the front, but the manufacturing platform helps ensure you get compatible components (igniters, gas valves, control boards, sensors) that match the original design.
| What you see | What it helps with | Example parts on this model |
|---|---|---|
| Kenmore nameplate | Brand and styling | Door handle, panels |
| 790 model prefix | Manufacturing platform | Igniter, gas valve, regulator |
| Full model number | Exact parts match | All parts diagrams and lists |
If you are troubleshooting heat or ignition issues, these parts are frequently involved:
- Range oven burner igniter 5304509706 (no bake or delayed ignition)
- Range pressure regulator (gas flow problems)
- Range oven temperature sensor (temperature accuracy issues)
Using the correct manufacturer platform and the exact model number prevents ordering look-alike parts that do not fit, do not mount correctly, or do not match the wiring harness.

How long should a Kenmore gas stove last?
A Kenmore gas range like model 79071152703 typically lasts 15 years with normal household use. Keeping burners clean, maintaining good airflow, and fixing ignition or temperature issues early helps you get the full life from key parts like the igniter, gas valve, and oven sensor.
Most gas ranges reach their expected lifespan when heat, gas flow, and ignition stay consistent.
- Cleaning habits: spillovers and clogged burner ports make burners run poorly and stress components
- Cooking frequency: daily high-heat use shortens life compared to light use
- Ventilation: good venting reduces grease buildup and heat stress around controls
- Timely repairs: replacing a weak igniter or failing sensor prevents bigger failures
- Proper installation: correct gas pressure and leveling reduce uneven heating and wear
Use the care guidance in the 79071152703 owner’s manual and focus on the items that most often cause performance problems.
- Clean surface burners regularly; soak removable burner parts in a 1:1 ammonia and water solution for 30 to 40 minutes, then rinse and dry thoroughly
- Keep burner openings clear after boilovers (clogged ports cause uneven flames)
- Avoid putting burner units in the dishwasher
- Do not line the oven interior with aluminum foil (it can damage heat distribution and surfaces)
- Protect the oven door gasket; do not scrub or remove it
When a range feels “worn out,” it is often one or two serviceable parts.
| Symptom | Common cause | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven will not heat or heats slowly | Weak igniter | Range oven burner igniter 5304509706 |
| Oven temperature is inaccurate | Failing temperature sensor | Range oven temperature sensor 316233903 |
| Gas smell or inconsistent oven flame | Gas valve or regulator issue | Range gas valve or pressure regulator |
A 15-year lifespan assumes safe, stable ignition and accurate temperature control. If the oven struggles to light or bakes inconsistently, addressing it early helps prevent repeat ignition attempts, overheating, and unnecessary wear on the control system.
