Kenmore 79074453810 free standing gas range Parts

On Kenmore gas range model 79074453810, Warm & Hold keeps already-cooked food warm at about 170°F for up to 3 hours. Press Warm & Hold, then START; to stop it anytime, press STOP. See the steps in the 79074453810 owner's manual.

How to turn on Warm & Hold (manual steps)

• Place cooked food in the oven (Warm & Hold is for food that is already at serving temperature).
• Arrange oven racks while the oven is cool.
• Press Warm & Hold; HLd appears on the display.
• Press START.
• The feature shuts off automatically after 3 hours.

Set Warm & Hold to start automatically after Timed Bake

Use this when you want the oven to switch to holding temperature as soon as baking ends.

• Press Bake, set temperature with the Up/Down arrows, then press START.
• Press Cook Time, set the time with the Up/Down arrows, then press START.
• Press Warm & Hold.
• Press START again to confirm Warm & Hold will begin after Timed Bake finishes.

Quick reference

Feature	What it does	How it ends
Warm & Hold	Holds food at about 170°F	Auto-off after 3 hours or press STOP
Timed Bake + Warm & Hold	Bakes for a set time, then holds	Auto-off after 3 hours of holding or press STOP

Why it matters

Warm & Hold helps keep food at serving temperature without over-baking. It also reduces the temptation to block the oven vent or line the oven with foil, both of which can cause heating and safety problems.

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.

Where to look on a freestanding Kenmore gas range

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).

What the label usually shows

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)

Quick ID guide

You see on the label	What it means	What to use for parts
790.7445*	Model series/family	Use the full model number
79074453810	Full model number	Use this for parts lookup
Serial number	Production identifier	Helpful for service, not parts matching

Why it matters

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.

For additional model identification details and label examples, use the 79074453810 owner's manual.

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.

Quick checks we recommend first

• 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.

What you should see during normal ignition

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.

What you observe	Most likely cause	What to do next
No glow from igniter	No power, wiring issue, failed igniter, control issue	Verify power, then inspect igniter and wiring
Igniter glows, no flame after 60 seconds	Weak igniter or gas valve not opening	Replace igniter first; then evaluate gas valve
Flame starts, then cycles off	Normal cycling at temperature	No repair needed

Parts that commonly fix “won’t ignite”

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)

Why it matters

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.
