Kenmore Elite 79077543800 gas range Parts

Kenmore is a brand, not a single manufacturer; Kenmore Elite gas ranges like model 79077543800 were produced for Kenmore by an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) partner. For model-specific details such as ratings, fuel type, and factory gas pressure settings, check the identification plate and the owner's manual.

The most reliable way is to use the information on the range itself and match it to parts and documentation.

• Find the model and serial tag (identification plate) on the range
• Record the full model number (79077543800) and serial number
• Note the burner ratings, fuel type, and pressure listed on the plate
• Use the model number to match parts diagrams and replacement parts
• Keep your documentation for future reference

For this Kenmore Elite range family, the identification plate is typically located on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame near the lower drawer area.

Kenmore used multiple OEM partners across different product lines and years. Knowing the exact model and serial information helps ensure you get the correct parts (like an oven temperature sensor, bake igniter, or pressure regulator) and follow the right installation and safety requirements.

On the Kenmore Elite gas range model 79077543800, the model and serial number identification plate is located on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame, at the Bake-n-Warm (lower oven) drawer area. Open the lower oven drawer to view the plate; use those numbers when ordering parts or service. See the installation guide for the exact location description.

Check these spots in this order:

• Open the Bake-n-Warm (lower oven) drawer and look at the right-hand front frame
• Look for a metal or foil identification plate with model and serial numbers
• Wipe the area with a damp cloth if grease makes the label hard to read
• Write down the model number, serial number, and any lot number/letter shown

The identification plate is more than just the model number. It also lists key rating information used to match parts correctly.

Using the full model and serial information prevents wrong-part returns and delays.

• Match parts by model number first, then confirm by part description
• For oven temperature issues, a common related part is the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
• For a dark oven cavity, check the appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904 and the range light socket 316116400
• If the label is damaged, use the clearest characters you can read and compare to your paperwork and manual

Kenmore Elite ranges often have multiple versions within the same series. Using the identification plate details helps us match the correct burner, igniter, gas valve, sensor, or door parts for your exact 79077543800 configuration.

A Kenmore gas range like model 79077543800 typically lasts 15 years with normal household use. Keeping burners clean, using the correct flame size, and fixing ignition or temperature issues early helps you get the full life out of the oven and cooktop (see the owner's manual).

Most gas ranges reach their full service life when heat, gas flow, and airflow stay consistent.

• Cooking frequency: daily high-heat use shortens life compared to occasional use
• Cleaning habits: spills and grease buildup can damage igniters and burner parts
• Ventilation: good venting reduces heat and grease stress on controls and wiring
• Gas quality and pressure: incorrect pressure can cause weak flames or delayed ignition
• Early repairs: replacing a failing igniter or sensor prevents bigger failures

These habits reduce wear on key parts like the bake igniter, burner heads, and oven sensor.

• Keep burner ports clear; remove caps and clean with a soft brush
• Use proper flame size; flame should not extend past the pan edge
• Wipe up boilovers quickly to prevent corrosion and clogged ports
• Avoid lining the broiler insert with foil; grease can ignite
• If the range has been in temperatures below 32°F, let it warm above 32°F for at least 3 hours before powering on

If performance drops, these parts commonly restore normal operation on this model.

A gas range can keep cooking safely and evenly for its full lifespan when ignition and temperature control stay accurate. Addressing small issues early (slow preheat, weak flames, inconsistent baking) prevents extra heat stress on the gas valve, wiring, and controls.

If your Kenmore Elite gas range 79077543800 is not working, the most common causes are no electrical power (needed for electric ignition), incorrect control settings, or clogged burner ports. For oven problems, a weak bake igniter or a failed sensor can prevent proper heating.

• Confirm the range is plugged in; electric ignition will not work without power.
• Check the household breaker or fuse for the range circuit.
• Verify the oven controls are set correctly for Bake or Broil.
• For surface burners, push in and turn the knob fully to LITE until the burner ignites.
• If a burner lights only partway around, clean clogged ports with a small-gauge wire or needle (burners OFF and cool).
• When starting the oven, allow 30 to 60 seconds for the igniter to glow and the burner flame to appear.

On this model, the oven igniter should glow like a light bulb; once hot enough, the oven gas valve opens and the flame lights.

• Igniter never glows: check the bake ignition circuit and wiring.
• Igniter glows but no flame: the igniter is weak and cannot open the valve; replace the range bake igniter 5304534663.
• Oven temperature seems wrong: test/replace the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.

A gas range can have gas available but still fail to light if it lacks electrical power for ignition or if burner ports are restricted. Fixing ignition and airflow issues restores safe, consistent cooking.

For model-specific control settings and troubleshooting steps, use the owner's manual.
