Kenmore 79073233311 gas range Parts

On Kenmore gas range model 79073233311, the model and serial number plate is located on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame; you access it by opening the storage drawer, warmer drawer, or broiler drawer (depending on your configuration). See the 79073233311 installation guide for the exact identification plate location description.

Quick steps to find the model number

• Turn the range off and let it cool.
• Pull out and open the bottom drawer (storage, warmer, or broiler drawer).
• Look at the right-hand side of the oven front frame for the identification plate.
• Write down the model number and serial number exactly as shown.
• Use that model number when ordering parts like an igniter, oven temperature sensor, or control overlay.

Other common places people check (and why they miss it)

The drawer-area plate is the most reliable spot for this model, but customers often check these first:

Location you might check	What you may find there	Why it is not the best first stop
Back panel near the vent	Sometimes a label	Hard to access once installed
Door jamb area	Common on some ranges	Not the primary location for this model
Side of the unit	Sometimes a sticker	Often hidden by cabinets

Why it matters

The model number ensures you get the correct Kenmore gas range parts for fit and function. For example, ignition and heating issues often trace back to parts like the range oven burner igniter 5304509706, and the correct part match depends on the exact model identification.

Kenmore model 79073233311 is a Kenmore-branded gas range that was manufactured for Kenmore by Frigidaire/Electrolux. You can confirm you have the correct model by matching the full model number on the identification plate location shown in the 79073233311 installation guide.

How to confirm the model number on your range

The installation instructions for this range describe where to find the identification plate so you can match the model number exactly before ordering parts.

• Open the storage drawer, warmer drawer, or broiler drawer (depending on your configuration)
• Look on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame
• Match the full model number: 79073233311
• Record the serial number and any lot number or letter listed

Why the manufacturer matters for parts

Kenmore is the brand on the front, but the original manufacturer determines the engineering design and the correct replacement parts (igniters, gas valve, control board, burner components).

What you’re trying to do	What to use	Why it helps
Identify the maker behind Kenmore 790 models	Model prefix 790	Commonly indicates Frigidaire-built Kenmore ranges
Order the right replacement part	Exact model number from the ID plate	Prevents wrong-fit parts and returns
Troubleshoot ignition or heating issues	Model-based diagrams and procedures	Speeds up diagnosis and repair

Parts you’ll commonly match by model

If you’re troubleshooting a no-heat or no-ignition symptom on this gas range, these model-matched parts are often involved:

• Range oven burner igniter 5304509706 (oven bake ignition)
• Range oven temperature sensor 316233903 (temperature regulation)
• Cooktop module 808608802 (spark ignition for surface burners)

Why it matters

Using the correct manufacturer family for Kenmore model 79073233311 helps ensure you get the right Frigidaire-built design parts, correct wiring connections, and proper gas ignition performance.

A Kenmore gas range like model 79073233311 typically lasts 15 years with normal household use. Keeping burners clean, ensuring proper ignition, and installing the range with the correct clearances helps reduce wear on key parts like igniters, valves, and controls; see the 79073233311 installation guide.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most gas ranges reach the 15-year mark when heat, gas flow, and ignition stay consistent.

• Heavy daily cooking and frequent high-heat use can shorten life
• Poor airflow or grease buildup around the cooktop can stress components
• Repeated ignition problems can wear out igniters and spark systems
• Power surges can damage electronic controls
• Improper installation clearances can increase heat exposure to surrounding cabinetry

Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)

These steps help your 79073233311 run cleaner and more reliably.

• Clean burner caps and burner heads so flames stay even and blue
• Keep igniter tips dry and free of food spills
• Wipe up boilovers quickly to prevent clogged ports and weak ignition
• Use cookware that matches burner size to reduce excess heat on the cooktop
• Replace failed oven light bulbs promptly so you can monitor baking without opening the door

What “normal operation” looks like on this model

Your installation instructions describe normal ignition timing for both surface burners and the oven.

Function	What you should see	Typical timing
Surface burner ignition	Clicking/sparking, then flame	Lights within about 4 seconds after air is purged
Oven bake ignition	Igniter glows, then burner lights	Flame appears about 30 to 60 seconds after turning on

If the oven takes much longer to light, heats unevenly, or fails to ignite, a common fix is replacing the oven igniter, such as the range oven burner igniter 5304509706.

Why it matters

A gas range that is slow to ignite or has weak flames wastes fuel, cooks inconsistently, and can overwork parts like the pressure regulator, igniter switch harness, and oven control system. Catching ignition changes early often prevents bigger repairs.

If your Kenmore gas range model 79073233311 is not igniting, the most common causes are no electrical power to the range, a weak or cracked oven igniter that will not open the gas valve, or a gas supply issue. This model’s bake burner normally lights within 30 to 60 seconds after you set Bake.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the range has power (clock/display on, outlet and breaker OK).
• Make sure the oven control is actually set to Bake and a temperature is selected.
• Wait a full 60 seconds; this model has a normal ignition delay.
• Verify the gas shutoff valve is fully open.
• Check that the oven vent area is not blocked; the range needs fresh air for proper combustion.

What “normal” ignition looks like on this model

The oven burner uses an electric igniter that glows like a light bulb. When it gets hot enough, the oven gas valve opens and the burner lights.

What you see	What it usually means	What to do next
No glow from igniter	No power, wiring issue, or failed igniter	Check power first; then inspect wiring and igniter
Igniter glows but no flame after 60 seconds	Igniter is weak or gas valve is not opening	Test/replace igniter first in most cases
Flame lights, then cycles off and on	Normal temperature control cycling	No repair needed

Parts that commonly fix “won’t ignite”

If the igniter does not glow, or it glows but never lights the burner, these parts are common suspects for model 79073233311:

• Range oven burner igniter 5304509706 (most common)
• Frigidaire range oven gas valve 3203459 (less common)
• Wiring connections to the igniter and valve (burned, loose, or damaged)

Safety notes that matter

• Do not try to operate the electric ignition oven during a power failure; reset oven controls to OFF.
• Keep combustion air flowing; do not obstruct the oven vent or the area around the base.

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. Fixing ignition quickly restores safe, consistent baking and prevents repeated gas valve cycling.
