Kenmore 91193491991 range Parts

To estimate the age of your Kenmore range model 91193491991, we use the serial number (not the model number). The serial tag includes a date code that identifies the manufacturing week and year; once you read that code, you can pinpoint when the range was built.

Step 1: Find the model and serial tag

On most Kenmore electric ranges, the tag is typically found in one of these spots:

• On the oven frame behind the storage drawer (pull the drawer out)
• On the oven frame behind the lower kick panel
• Along the door frame area (visible when the oven door is open)
• On the back panel of the range

Write down both:

• Model: 91193491991
• Serial: (letters and numbers)

Step 2: Use the model prefix to identify the manufacturer

Kenmore model numbers use a 3-digit prefix to indicate who built the appliance.

What to check	Example for your range	What it tells us
First 3 digits of model number	911	Manufacturer prefix used for serial decoding
Serial number	Varies	Contains the date code we decode

Step 3: Decode the serial number date code

Once you know the manufacturer tied to the 911 prefix, decode the serial number using that manufacturer’s format. Most formats include:

• A letter that represents the month (or production line)
• A digit pair that represents the year
• A digit pair that represents the week of the year

If your serial number is hard to read, clean the tag gently and take a clear photo with the flash off.

Quick checks that help confirm the age

These clues do not replace serial decoding, but they help validate what you find:

• Style of control panel (knobs vs. electronic touch)
• Presence of a hot surface indicator light
• Oven light type and lens style (for example, the range oven light bulb 40A15 and wall oven light lens WB36X192 are common service parts on many older designs)
• Whether the oven uses a hidden bake element or exposed bake element

Why it matters

Knowing the build date helps us match the correct Kenmore range parts, avoid ordering the wrong bake element or temperature sensor, and decide whether a repair is cost-effective based on typical range lifespan.

On a Kenmore electric range like model 91193491991, the model number is printed on a rating label attached to the appliance frame. The most common spots are the oven door frame (door jamb) or the frame behind the storage drawer.

Most common label locations to check

• Open the oven door and look along the left or right door frame (door jamb area)
• Pull out the storage drawer and look on the frame behind the drawer opening
• Check the back panel near the power cord entry or rear vent area
• Look along the side frame just inside the lower front area

Quick steps (fastest way)

1. Turn the oven light on and use a flashlight.
2. Open the oven door and scan the frame edges for a white or silver sticker/plate.
3. If you do not see it, slide out the bottom drawer and check the frame behind it.

What the label looks like (so you know you found the right one)

What you’ll see	Why it matters
“Model” or “MOD” followed by numbers/letters	This is the exact model we use to match parts
“Serial” or “SER”	Helps date the unit and confirm production run
Electrical ratings (volts/amps)	Useful for safe troubleshooting and wiring checks

Why it matters

We use the full model number to match the correct Kenmore range parts (for example, the correct bake element, terminal block, or oven light components). Even small model-number differences can change which parts fit.

If you are already ordering common items, having the model number handy helps confirm compatibility with parts like the range oven light bulb 40A15.

For your Kenmore range model 91193491991, start troubleshooting by identifying whether the problem is in the oven (bake/broil), a surface burner, or the power supply. Most issues trace to a failed heating element, a bad control switch, a temperature sensor problem, or a loose power connection.

Step 1: Do a quick safety and power check

• Turn off the range at the breaker before inspecting wiring or removing panels.
• Confirm the range has the correct power (most electric ranges use 240 volts).
• If the display and oven light work but heating is weak or missing, one leg of power may be out.
• If you see scorching at the cord connection, inspect the terminal block.

Common power-connection part: Terminal block WB17T10006

Step 2: Match the symptom to the most likely cause

• Oven will not heat (bake): failed bake element, wiring issue, or control problem.
• Oven will not broil: failed broil element or wiring issue.
• Oven temperature is inaccurate: failed temperature sensor.
• One surface burner not heating: failed surface element or infinite switch.
• Oven light not working: burned-out bulb or failed socket.

Symptom	What to check first	Common replacement part on this model
No bake heat	Bake element for visible damage or no glow	G.e. range bake element WB44T10010
No broil heat	Broil element for damage	Range broil element WB44T10009
Temp too hot/cold	Sensor connection and sensor resistance	Wall oven temperature sensor WB23X5340
One burner dead	Swap element to another position, then test switch	Range coil surface element, 8-in WB03T10167 or range surface element control switch, 1,500-watt WB24T10029
Oven light out	Bulb, then socket	Range oven light bulb 40A15 or range light socket WB08T10026

Step 3: Use error-code help when the control shows a code

If your control is flashing an error code, use our code list to narrow the failure to a sensor, keypad, or control circuit before replacing parts: Kenmore glass touch module electric range error codes.

Why it matters

Replacing the correct part the first time prevents repeat failures and helps protect key components like the wiring harness and control from overheating or arcing.
