Where to find Kenmore gas range model number?
On Kenmore gas range model 79036733700, the model and serial number are printed on the serial plate located on the oven front frame behind the oven door (on some models it’s on the drawer side frame). Use those numbers when ordering parts or service. See the 79036733700 owner’s manual for the exact label location diagram.
Where to look on the range
Check these common label spots first:
- Open the oven door and look along the front frame (the face frame around the oven opening)
- Look behind the oven door near the lower edge of the opening
- Pull out the storage or warmer drawer and check the drawer side frame
- Wipe the area with a damp cloth; grease can hide the print
What the serial plate tells you (and why it matters)
The serial plate is more than a model tag. It typically includes:
- Model number and serial number (needed to match Kenmore parts correctly)
- Burner ratings (BTU information)
- Fuel type and the gas pressure setting the range was adjusted for at the factory
This matters because parts like an igniter, gas valve, or burner components can vary by model series, even when ranges look similar.
Quick checklist before ordering parts
Use this checklist to avoid ordering the wrong part:
- Copy the full model number exactly as shown (for example, 79036733700)
- Copy the serial number exactly as shown
- Note any lot number or letter listed on the plate
- Confirm whether your range is set up for natural gas or LP (as listed on the plate)

Who makes Kenmore 79036733700?
Kenmore model 79036733700 is made for Kenmore by Frigidaire (Electrolux/Frigidaire family). The key identifier is the 790 model prefix, which is used on Kenmore ranges that were manufactured by Frigidaire.
How to confirm the manufacturer from the model number
We use the model prefix (the first three digits) to identify the original manufacturer behind many Kenmore appliances.
- Find the full model number on the serial plate (the manual shows where this plate is located).
- Look at the first three digits.
- Match the prefix to the manufacturer.
- Use the full model number when ordering parts to avoid fit issues.
Prefix quick guide
| Kenmore model prefix | What it typically indicates |
|---|---|
| 790 | Manufactured by Frigidaire |
| 791 | Manufactured by Frigidaire |
| 970 | Manufactured by Frigidaire |
Why it matters
Knowing Frigidaire built the Kenmore 79036733700 helps when you are troubleshooting, reading wiring diagrams, and choosing compatible replacement parts like an oven igniter, temperature sensor, or control board.
Helpful next steps for parts and service info
- Use the full model number 79036733700 when searching parts diagrams.
- Check safety, operation, and maintenance details in the 79036733700 owner’s manual.
- Use the 79036733700 installation guide for gas hookup and installation requirements.

How long should a Kenmore gas stove last?
A Kenmore gas range like model 79036733700 typically lasts 15 years with normal household use. Consistent cleaning, good ventilation during high-heat cooking and self-cleaning, and prompt repair of ignition or temperature issues help you reach that lifespan.
What affects lifespan the most
- Keeping spillovers from baking onto the oven bottom (burned-on grease creates extra heat and smoke)
- Using ventilation during self-cleaning to reduce odor and residue buildup
- Fixing slow or failed ignition quickly (igniter and gas valve wear increases over time)
- Avoiding repeated overheating from inaccurate temperature control
- Replacing wear items like oven light bulbs as needed
Maintenance habits that add years
The Use and Care information for this range emphasizes ventilation and cleaning, especially around self-cleaning. Use these habits as your baseline routine:
- Wipe up heavy spillovers before running Self-Clean
- Ventilate the kitchen during Self-Clean (open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood)
- Let the oven complete normal ignition cycles; a 30 to 60 second ignition delay can be normal
- Keep burner heads and caps seated correctly so flames burn evenly
- If baking temperatures seem off, test and replace the sensor if needed
Common “end-of-life” symptoms and likely fixes
| Symptom | Most common cause | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Oven takes too long to light | Weak igniter | Replace igniter 5303935066 |
| Oven temperature swings | Failing sensor | Replace frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 |
| Oven light out | Burned bulb or bad socket | Replace bulb or socket |
Why it matters
A 15-year lifespan assumes safe, efficient combustion and accurate temperature control. When ignition gets weak or temperatures drift, cooking results suffer and parts like the gas valve and control board can be stressed.

- Use a flashlight; the plate can be small and easy to miss.
- Write down the full model number, serial number, and any lot number or letter.
- Take a clear photo so you can zoom in later.
What the serial plate tells you (and why it matters)
The serial plate is more than an ID tag. It helps us match the correct Kenmore parts and confirms key gas specifications.
| What you’ll see | Why it matters for parts and service |
|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures diagrams and parts lists match your exact range |
| Serial number | Helps identify production changes that affect part fit |
| Burner ratings and fuel info | Confirms the range’s setup and specifications |
Tips before ordering parts
- Match the model number exactly: 79036733700.
- If you are troubleshooting an oven that will not heat, having the model and serial number ready helps confirm the correct igniter or sensor.
