Where to find model number on Frigidaire gas range?
On the Frigidaire gas range model DGGF3042KFR, the model and serial number identification plate is on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame. You access it by opening the storage drawer, warmer drawer, or broiler drawer (depending on your configuration); see the installation guide.
Quick steps to locate the tag
- Turn the oven off and let it cool.
- Pull the bottom drawer fully open (storage, warmer, or broiler drawer).
- Look at the right-hand side of the oven front frame for the identification plate.
- Write down the model number, serial number, and lot number/letter.
- Use that exact model number when ordering Frigidaire range parts or checking specifications.
What you will see on the identification plate
The plate typically includes details you may need for parts lookup and service.
| Item on plate | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures you get parts that fit DGGF3042KFR |
| Serial number | Helps match production run details |
| Lot number/letter | Useful for parts inquiries and service |
| Fuel and pressure info | Confirms how the range was set up from the factory |
Why it matters
Using the exact model number from the identification plate prevents ordering the wrong igniter, temperature sensor, control board, or other gas range parts that can look similar but mount or wire differently.

Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. Looking up parts by model number is the most accurate way to get compatible replacement parts for your Frigidaire gas range model DGGF3042KFR because it filters results to the exact burner, igniter, control, and hardware variations used on that range.
Where to find the model number on DGGF3042KFR
On this Frigidaire range, the identification plate is on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame. Open the storage drawer, warmer drawer, or broiler drawer (depending on your configuration) to access it; then record the model and serial numbers. See the DGGF3042KFR installation guide.
What to write down from the plate
- Model number: DGGF3042KFR
- Serial number
- Lot number or letter (often used to match production changes)
- Fuel type and pressure rating (helps ensure correct gas components)
How to use the model number to choose the right part
Once you have the full model number, match the symptom to the part category, then confirm the part ID before ordering.
- Oven will not heat or takes too long to ignite: check the igniter and gas valve
- Oven temperature seems inaccurate: check the temperature sensor
- Surface burners will not spark: check the spark module, igniter switch, and harness
- Oven light is out: check the bulb type and wattage
Common examples for this model
| Symptom | Likely part type | Example part for DGGF3042KFR |
|---|---|---|
| No bake ignition | Oven burner igniter | Tappan range oven burner igniter 316489403 |
| Temp swings or error related to sensing | Oven temperature sensor | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| No clicking/sparking at surface burners | Spark module | Range spark module 5304508269 |
Why it matters
Frigidaire ranges can have multiple versions that look identical but use different igniters, burner caps, wiring harnesses, or control components. Using the exact model and serial information prevents ordering a part that will not fit or will not connect correctly.
For operating and maintenance details that can help confirm symptoms before ordering, use the DGGF3042KFR owner’s manual.

Why does my Frigidaire gas range smell like gas?
If your Frigidaire DGGF3042KFR gas range smells like gas, treat it as a safety issue first: stop using the range and follow the “What to do if you smell gas” steps in the installation guide. After the area is safe, common causes include a burner that is not lighting cleanly, a weak igniter, or a gas connection/regulator issue.
What to do right now (safety first)
- Turn all burner knobs to OFF.
- Do not try to light any appliance.
- Do not touch electrical switches or use a phone inside the building.
- From a neighbor’s phone, call your gas supplier and follow their instructions.
- If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Common causes on a gas range
A gas odor usually comes from unburned gas (ignition or combustion problem) or a leak.
- Surface burner not igniting fully: clogged burner ports, wet/dirty igniter area, or misaligned burner cap.
- Oven bake or broil igniter getting weak: the igniter glows but does not open the gas valve quickly, so gas can build before ignition.
- Loose fitting or failing regulator/valve: connections at the supply line or the range regulator can seep gas.
- Wrong fuel setup (LP vs natural gas): this model is factory preset for natural gas; LP conversion must be done correctly.
Quick checks you can do (after the smell is resolved)
- Confirm burner caps sit flat and centered; clean ports with a soft brush.
- Watch ignition: spark should be rapid and the flame should light within a couple seconds.
- For oven: if preheat is slow and you notice odor before ignition, suspect the igniter.
- Check for obvious damage to wiring near ignition components.
| Symptom | Most likely area | Part that often fixes it |
|---|---|---|
| Oven smells like gas before it lights | Bake ignition | Tappan range oven burner igniter 316489403 |
| Broil has odor and delayed ignition | Broil ignition | Range oven igniter 5304506545 |
| Surface burners click but light poorly | Spark/ignition circuit | Range spark module 5304508269 |
Why it matters
A persistent gas smell can indicate unburned gas or a leak. Addressing ignition problems (igniter, spark module, burner setup) helps the range light promptly and reduces the chance of gas accumulation.
