Kenmore 41516107110 gas grill Parts

Kenmore gas grills like model 41516107110 are a solid choice for everyday backyard cooking when they’re assembled correctly, maintained regularly, and used safely. This model’s documentation emphasizes safe operation and includes warranty coverage (including a limited burner warranty), which supports long-term ownership when you keep up with cleaning and basic upkeep.

What “good” looks like for this grill

A good Kenmore grill experience usually comes down to consistent ignition, even heat, and manageable flare-ups.

• Heats up predictably when burners and ports are clean
• Cooks evenly when the cooking grate and flame tamers are in good condition
• Stays safer and more stable when used outdoors with proper clearances
• Performs better over time with routine grease management
• Is easier to live with when you replace wear items before they fail

Common weak points (and what to do about them)

Most complaints we see on gas grills are tied to normal wear, grease buildup, or ignition issues.

Symptom	Most common cause	Practical fix
Hard to light	Ignition parts dirty, battery/igniter issues	Clean around igniter area; follow 41516107110 owner’s manual lighting steps
Uneven heat	Clogged burner ports, worn heat distribution parts	Clean burners; replace worn gas grill flame tamer 202150009 if needed
Flare-ups	Grease buildup, dirty cook box	Deep clean; keep grease tray managed
Rusty or weak flame	Burner deterioration over time	Inspect burners; replace if rusted through

Safety and use habits that improve performance

The manual’s safety guidance is also a performance guide because safe setup reduces flare-ups and heat loss.

• Use the grill only in a well-ventilated outdoor area (never in a garage, porch, or covered patio)
• Keep at least 3 ft clearance from walls and maintain 10 ft from ignition sources
• Check burner flames regularly during use
• Turn off control knobs and close the LP cylinder valve when finished
• Never move the grill while it’s operating or still hot

Why it matters

A “good” gas grill is one that lights reliably and heats evenly without constant flare-ups. On model 41516107110, keeping the burners clean and replacing wear parts like flame tamers and grates on time is what protects cooking performance and helps the grill last.

To ignite your Kenmore gas grill model 41516107110, open the lid, turn on the LP cylinder, then light the ignition burner first using the electronic igniter. If it does not light within 5 seconds, turn everything off, wait 5 minutes, and retry (see the 41516107110 owner's manual).

Standard electronic ignition steps (main burners)

• Turn all burner control knobs OFF.
• 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.
• Light the remaining burners by turning each knob to HI in sequence, starting with the burner closest to the ignition burner.

If it will not light: safe retry and match-lighting

If ignition does not happen quickly, gas can build up. Use this sequence.

• If it does not ignite in 5 seconds: turn burner controls OFF.
• Wait 5 minutes for gas to clear.
• Retry the electronic lighting steps.
• If the igniter still does not work, use match-lighting with the grill’s match holder.
• Never lean over the grill while lighting.

Match-lighting overview

What you do	Why it matters
Open lid; turn ON LP cylinder	Prevents gas buildup under the lid
Place a lit match in the match holder; insert through match-light hole	Safely positions the flame at the burner
Turn the far right or far left burner knob to HI	Lights the burner closest to the match-light hole
Light adjacent burners in sequence	Helps carry flame across burners reliably

Quick checks if lighting is hard or flame is weak

Hard-to-light grills often have restricted burner tubes (including spider webs) or dirty heat distribution parts.

• Inspect and clean burner tubes if the grill has been idle for a while.
• Remove cooking grates and inspect/clean the flame tamers.
• Confirm the LP cylinder valve is fully open.
• Perform a burner flame check: HI should be stronger than LOW.
• Replace damaged or heavily rusted heat shields or flame tamers as needed (example: gas grill flame tamer 202150009).

Why it matters

Lighting with the lid open and using the 5-second attempt plus 5-minute wait reduces the chance of delayed ignition and flare-ups, and it helps your burners light evenly for better temperature control.
