How to find Kenmore Grill model number?
On the Kenmore gas grill model 41516114010, the model number is printed on the grill’s rating label; we use that number to match the correct parts list and Use and Care information in the 41516114010 owner’s manual.
Where to look on the grill
Check these common rating-label locations first:
- Back panel of the grill base or firebox
- Inside the cabinet (on the inner side panel)
- Under the control panel (behind the knobs)
- On a side panel near the LP tank area
- Near the cart frame, close to the wheels
What to write down (and why)
Record the details exactly as shown so we can identify the right Kenmore parts and diagrams.
- Model number (example: 41516114010)
- Serial number (often on the same label)
- Fuel type (LP propane vs. natural gas setup)
- Date purchased (helpful for warranty and part compatibility)
Quick reference
| Label item | What it’s used for | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Finds the correct parts breakdown | Match every digit exactly |
| Serial number | Identifies production run details | Take a clear photo |
| Fuel type | Helps avoid wrong regulator/manifold parts | Do not assume conversions |
Why it matters
Kenmore grills can look similar across model families, but burner tubes, ignition parts, and heat shields can differ. Using the exact model number helps ensure you get the right replacement parts and the correct assembly and safety instructions.

Is Kenmore a good brand for grills?
Kenmore grills are a solid choice for everyday backyard cooking because they’re designed for dependable operation and are supported by clear safety and care guidance for long-term use. For the Kenmore 41516114010 gas grill, the warranty coverage on burners is a strong indicator of expected durability when the grill is maintained correctly (see the 41516114010 owner's manual).
What “good” means for a gas grill
A good grill is one that lights reliably, heats evenly, and holds up to normal outdoor use. For Kenmore grills, we typically see good results when owners stay on top of burner and grease management.
- Consistent ignition and flame pattern across burners
- Even heating with minimal hot spots
- Manageable flare-ups with routine grease tray cleaning
- Replaceable wear parts (burners, ignition parts, heat plates)
- Clear safety rules for LP cylinder use and storage
What the Kenmore 41516114010 warranty tells you
The manual outlines warranty coverage that helps set expectations for ownership.
| Coverage area | What it generally means for you | Typical owner takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| 1-year full warranty | Defects in materials/workmanship are covered | Early-life issues are addressed quickly |
| 5-year limited burner coverage | Burners that rust through are covered (terms apply) | Burners are treated as a long-life core part |
How to keep performance “good” over time
Most “bad grill” complaints come from fuel flow restrictions, dirty burners, or ignition wear, not the brand itself.
- Keep burner ports clear; clean spider webs and debris from venturi tubes
- Empty and clean the grease tray regularly to reduce flare-ups
- Check the LP cylinder fill level and avoid overfilling
- Inspect ignition components if lighting becomes inconsistent
- Replace worn heat-management parts when you see heavy corrosion
Why it matters
A gas grill is only as good as its maintenance. Following the LP cylinder safety rules and routine cleaning steps in the manual helps prevent uneven heating, ignition problems, and grease flare-ups, which are the most common causes of poor grilling results.

How to light a Kenmore gas grill?
To light your Kenmore gas grill model 41516114010, open the lid, turn all burner knobs OFF, then turn ON the LP tank valve and use the electronic ignition to light the ignition burner first; once it’s lit, light the remaining burners in sequence. Follow the exact steps in the 41516114010 owner's manual.
Standard electronic ignition steps (recommended)
- Turn OFF all burner control knobs.
- Turn ON gas at the LP cylinder.
- Open the lid before lighting.
- Push and turn the IGNITION BURNER knob to HI.
- Push and hold the electronic ignition button until the ignition burner lights.
- If it does not light in 5 seconds: turn knobs OFF, wait 5 minutes, then retry.
- After the ignition burner is lit, turn the other burner knobs to HI one at a time, starting with the burner closest to the ignition burner.
Match-lighting (when the igniter will not spark)
Use match-lighting only with the lid open and your face and hands away from the firebox.
- Open lid; turn ON gas at the LP cylinder.
- Place a match in the match holder (typically stored on the grill).
- Light the match; insert it through the match-light hole.
- Push in and turn the far right or far left burner knob to HI (based on the match-light hole you use).
- Once that burner stays lit, light adjacent burners in sequence.
Quick safety checks before you light
| Check | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Lid position | Keep lid open during lighting | Prevents gas buildup and flare-up risk |
| Clearances | Keep grill about 3 ft from walls/rails | Reduces fire risk |
| Control knobs | Start with knobs OFF | Prevents unburned gas flow |
| If ignition fails | Wait 5 minutes before retry | Lets gas clear safely |
Why it matters
Correct lighting order helps the regulator, valve manifold, and burner tubes deliver steady gas flow so burners ignite smoothly and heat evenly. If you routinely have trouble lighting, the ignition system parts (like the electrode or ignition module) are common wear items.

Who manufactures Kenmore grills?
Kenmore is a brand name; Kenmore grills are built by different OEM manufacturers depending on the specific model and production run. For Kenmore gas grill model 41516114010, the most reliable way to identify the actual manufacturer is to match the rating label information to the parts list in the 41516114010 owner's manual.
How to identify the manufacturer on your exact grill
Use the grill’s rating label first; it lists the company responsible for manufacturing and certification.
- Look for the rating label inside the cart, on a side panel, or near the firebox
- Record the full model number 41516114010 and any serial number/date code
- Write down the manufacturer name and address exactly as printed
- Compare your burner and ignition layout to the parts list and diagram in the manual
- When ordering parts, match by part number and component type (burner, ignition, regulator)
What the parts list can tell you (and what it cannot)
Some replacement parts for this model use Char-Broil style descriptions, which often indicates shared component sourcing, not necessarily the brand that built the entire grill.
| Source | What it confirms | What it does not confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Rating label on the grill | Actual manufacturer for your unit | Nothing; it is the primary identifier |
| Parts list/diagram | Correct replacement parts for 41516114010 | OEM name if it is not printed in the manual |
| Part descriptions (example: “Char-broil”) | Component style/sourcing | Definitive grill manufacturer |
Why it matters
Knowing the OEM helps you match safety-critical components like the regulator/manifold, ignition system, and burner tubes so the grill lights correctly and heats evenly.
