• Arrange oven racks while the oven is cool.
• Press Warm & Hold; HLd appears on the display.

Your Kenmore gas range model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. On model 79074453810, you’ll typically find that label in the oven door jamb area or behind the lower storage drawer, depending on the exact build.

Check these common label locations first:

• Along the oven frame behind the oven door (door jamb area)
• Behind the storage drawer (remove the drawer and look on the frame)
• On the back panel near the gas line and power cord area
• On a side panel edge near the lower front corner

If you see a model format like 790.7445* in the label text, that is the model family; your full model is the longer number (for example, 79074453810).

Most Kenmore range rating labels include:

• Model number (example: 79074453810)
• Serial number (used to identify production run)
• Gas type and pressure information
• Electrical requirements (plug and grounding notes)

Using the exact model number ensures you get the correct Kenmore parts and diagrams for your range, especially for model-specific items like an oven igniter, temperature sensor, or control board.

On Kenmore gas range model 79074453810, the oven typically won’t ignite when the hot-surface igniter is weak or failed, the range has no electrical power (the oven ignition is electric), or the oven gas valve is not opening. A normal ignition can take 30 to 60 seconds.

• Confirm the range is plugged in and the outlet has power; the oven igniter will not work during a power failure.
• Set Bake 300°F and watch through the oven bottom openings for an igniter glow.
• Wait a full 60 seconds before deciding it “won’t light.”
• If the igniter glows but there’s no flame, stop the test and turn the oven off.
• If you smell gas, turn the oven off, ventilate the area, and do not keep trying to ignite.

When you turn the oven on, current flows to the igniter; it glows like a light bulb. Once it’s hot enough, the oven valve opens and the burner lights.

For this model, these parts are frequent solutions:

• Bake igniter 316489403 (most common)
• Frigidaire range oven gas valve 316031501 (if igniter is good but valve won’t open)
• Range oven control board 5304517172 (if the igniter never gets power)

A weak igniter can glow but still fail to draw enough current to open the gas valve, so the oven never lights. Checking for glow and timing the 30 to 60 second ignition window helps you pinpoint the failure faster.

For operating steps and troubleshooting guidance specific to this range, use the 79074453810 owner's manual.
