Kenmore Elite 79031063100 gas range Parts

No. The Kenmore Elite gas range model 79031063100 does not use a single dedicated “reset” button; we reset it by restoring power (breaker off then on) and returning all oven and surface controls to OFF to clear a temporary control glitch.

How to reset this range safely

• Turn all surface burner knobs to OFF.
• Set any timed cooking features back to OFF.
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF for 2 to 5 minutes.
• Switch the breaker ON and re-test BAKE and BROIL.
• If you had a power outage, use the normal ignition again once power is restored.

For model-specific control steps and operating checks, follow the 79031063100 owner’s manual.

What a “reset” fixes (and what it does not)

A power reset helps when the control board is confused after a power interruption, a canceled timed cycle, or a brief voltage dip. It does not fix ignition or heating problems caused by a failed part.

Symptom after reset	Most likely area to check	Common next step
Oven will not ignite within about a minute	Oven igniter circuit	Inspect and test the frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066
Oven temperature is inaccurate	Temperature sensing	Test/replace the range oven temperature sensor 5304504897
Surface burners click but do not spark correctly	Spark system	Check wiring and the range spark module 5304508269

Why it matters

On gas ranges, ignition timing and safety controls are designed to cycle normally. For example, during baking the igniter can glow and the burner can cycle on and off to maintain temperature. A proper reset gets the control back to a known safe state before you troubleshoot parts.

On the Kenmore Elite gas range model 79031063100, replacing a surface-burner spark electrode (igniter) means lifting the burner cap and base, removing the electrode from the burner head/orifice holder, transferring the wire to the new electrode, then reassembling and testing for spark and ignition using the steps in the installation guide.

Before you start (safety and access)

• Turn the burner knob to OFF and let the cooktop cool to room temperature.
• Shut off gas at the main shutoff valve.
• Unplug the range or switch OFF the circuit breaker.
• Remove grates, then lift off the burner cap and burner base (sealed burner style).
• Keep track of screws so the electrode mounts back in the same position.

Steps to replace the spark electrode

1. Remove the burner cap and burner base to expose the electrode next to the gas opening.
2. Remove the mounting screw holding the electrode to the burner head/orifice holder.
3. Pull the electrode up enough to access the wire connection.
4. Transfer the wire to the new electrode:
   • If it uses a push-on terminal, seat it fully.
   • If it uses a crimp connector, crimp firmly so it cannot pull off.
5. Reinstall the electrode and tighten the mounting screw (snug, not over-tight).
6. Reinstall the burner base (aligned and level) and the correct burner cap.
7. Restore power and gas, then test ignition.

How to test after replacement

Use the same check described in the installation guide:

• Turn one surface burner knob to LITE; you should hear rapid clicking and see spark.
• The burner should light once gas is available; rotate the knob out of LITE after it lights.
• Repeat for each burner (each has its own ignition device).

Quick troubleshooting if it still will not light

• Burner base or cap not seated flat (common on sealed burners).
• Electrode tip is wet, dirty, or mispositioned.
• Loose wire connection at the electrode.
• Failed ignition control; the range spark module is a common cause: range spark module 5304508269.

Why it matters

A properly mounted electrode and correctly seated burner cap/base help the spark jump to the right spot, so the burner lights quickly and consistently without extended clicking.

Symptom	Most likely issue	What to check first
No clicking on any burner	Spark module or power issue	Power supply, then spark module
Clicking but no flame	Gas not reaching burner	Gas shutoff valve, burner ports
One burner clicks but will not light	Electrode/cap alignment	Cap/base seating, electrode position

On the Kenmore Elite gas range model 79031063100, an oven that stops working is usually caused by a failed oven igniter, a problem in the gas valve or ignition circuit, or a temperature-sensing/control issue. In many cases, the igniter still glows but never gets hot enough to open the oven valve and light the burner (typically within 30 to 60 seconds). See the 79031063100 installation guide for the normal ignition sequence and safety notes.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the range has electrical power (clock/display on, no tripped breaker).
• Set BAKE 300°F and watch for ignition: igniter glow, then burner flame within about 60 seconds.
• If the igniter glows but there is no flame, suspect a weak igniter or gas valve issue.
• If there is no glow, suspect the igniter, wiring, or control.
• Make sure the oven vent and airflow around the range are not blocked.
• Reset controls to OFF after testing.

Most common failed parts on this model

For model 79031063100, these parts are frequent causes when the oven will not heat:

Symptom	Most likely cause	Model-matched part to check
Igniter glows, no flame	Weak igniter (not drawing enough current to open valve)	Frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066
Oven heats erratically or wrong temp	Temperature sensor out of range	Range oven temperature sensor 5304504897
No bake or intermittent gas flow	Oven gas valve not opening reliably	Range oven gas valve 316404901

Why it matters

A gas oven depends on a timed ignition cycle: current heats the igniter, then the oven valve opens and the burner lights. When any part of that chain fails, the oven can stop heating even though the range still has power.

Safety notes before troubleshooting

• Keep combustion air paths open; do not obstruct airflow at the oven vent or around the base.
• Do not use the oven as storage.
• If you smell gas, turn the oven off and stop troubleshooting until the issue is addressed.

On the Kenmore Elite gas range model 79031063100, the model and serial number plate is typically on the oven front frame behind the oven door, or on the drawer side frame. Checking these two spots covers the most common label locations for this range.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the oven door and look along the front frame (the face frame around the oven opening).
• Pull out the storage or broiler drawer and check the drawer side frame.
• Use a flashlight and look for a silver or white serial plate with printed numbers.
• Write down the model number, serial number, and any lot number/letter.
• Match the model number exactly when ordering parts (for example: 79031063100).

What the serial plate tells you (and why it matters)

The serial plate is more than an ID tag; it also lists key information used for correct parts and safe setup, including burner ratings and the fuel type and pressure the range was set for at the factory.

Why it matters

Using the exact model number helps us match the correct Kenmore parts for your Elite gas range, especially for items that vary by revision (igniters, sensors, spark components, and gas controls).

Quick reference table

What you need	Where to find it on 79031063100	When you’ll use it
Model number	Oven front frame behind oven door	Ordering parts, manuals, diagrams
Serial number	Same serial plate as model number	Service history, warranty, identification
Lot number/letter	Same serial plate as model number	Parts compatibility checks

Helpful tip for parts ordering

If you are ordering an oven ignition part, confirm the model number first, then match the part to the symptom. For example, a weak or no-heat bake issue often points to an igniter such as the frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066.

For diagrams and the exact label-location notes used for this model, use the 79031063100 installation guide.

On Kenmore Elite gas range model 79031063100, the oven typically won’t ignite when the hot-surface igniter is weak (it may glow but not open the gas valve), the oven gas valve is failing, or the control/sensor circuit is preventing heat. Normal ignition can take 30 to 60 seconds. See the 79031063100 installation guide for the expected ignition sequence.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Wait a full 60 seconds after starting BAKE or BROIL; a short delay is normal.
• Confirm the range has power; the oven igniter and gas valve need electricity to operate.
• Make sure the gas supply is on and other gas appliances in the home are working.
• If the igniter never glows, suspect a power/control issue or a failed igniter.
• If the igniter glows but there’s no flame after 60 seconds, the igniter is often too weak to open the valve.

Most common parts involved

If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these model-matched parts are common fixes:

Symptom	What you’ll notice	Part to check
No glow from igniter	No heat, no ignition attempt	Frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066
Oven heats erratically or temperature is off	Over/underheating, long preheat	Range oven temperature sensor 5304504897
Igniter glows but burner never lights	No flame after 60 seconds	Range oven gas valve 316404901

Why it matters

The ignition system on this range is designed so gas flows only after the igniter reaches the right temperature. A weak igniter is the most common reason you get a “glow but no flame” condition, and it can look like a gas problem even when gas supply is fine.

Safety notes before you troubleshoot

• Keep the oven off if you smell gas; ventilate the area and stop troubleshooting.
• Do not use the oven as storage, and avoid reaching over active burners.
• Use caution with any manual lighting guidance; follow the 79031063100 installation guide safety instructions.
