Kenmore Elite 66442793711 electric slide-in range Parts

Kenmore model numbers are structured so the first 3 digits identify the original manufacturer, the next digits identify the base design, and the remaining digits show feature or color variations. For Kenmore Elite model 66442793711, the “664” prefix is the key identifier to start with; confirm the full number on the rating label and in the 66442793711 use & care guide.

What each section of a Kenmore model number means

Most Kenmore model numbers follow this pattern:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): identifies the manufacturer code (for example, “664”)
• Base model digits (middle group): identifies the core platform or design family
• Suffix digits (ending group): identifies revisions, finishes, or feature variations

How to use the model number when ordering parts

• Match the entire model number, not just the prefix
• Use the model number to select the correct parts diagram section (cooktop, oven, console, downdraft)
• Cross-check part fit before ordering electrical parts like a control board, keypad, or surface element
• Keep the model number handy when referencing troubleshooting steps in the manual

Kenmore Elite is a long-running Kenmore premium line that was introduced well before the 664.4279* range series. For your Kenmore Elite electric slide-in range model 66442793711, the most accurate “what year” answer comes from the unit’s serial number date code, not the model name; use the 66442793711 use and care guide as your reference for where to find the ID label.

How to find the year for your specific 66442793711 range

We use the serial number because it identifies when your exact range was built.

• Locate the model and serial tag (commonly on the oven frame behind the door, or on a side frame).
• Write down the full serial number exactly as shown.
• Look for a date code pattern in the serial number (many Kenmore-built ranges encode year and week).
• Cross-check the label location and identification details in the 66442793711 use and care guide.
• Use the serial-based year when ordering parts or comparing features.

“Came out” can mean different things

What you mean by “year”	What to use	Best for
Kenmore Elite line introduction	Brand history (varies by product category)	General background
Model series release (664.4279*)	Model family and feature comparisons	Shopping and research
Your range’s build year	Serial number date code	Parts compatibility and service

Why it matters

Two ranges can share the same model family but have different production runs; the serial-based build year helps ensure the correct replacement part and revision. For example, if your oven is not heating evenly, matching the correct bake element W10779716 to your production run prevents fit and wiring issues.
