Kenmore 79073432314 gas range Parts

On Kenmore gas range model 79073432314, the model and serial number are printed on the identification plate on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame. You can access it by opening the storage drawer, warmer drawer, or broiler drawer (depending on your range configuration); see the 79073432314 installation guide.

Quick steps to locate the model tag

• Turn the oven and all burners OFF and let the range cool.
• Pull out and open the storage drawer (if your model has one).
• If there is no storage drawer, open the broiler drawer or warmer drawer.
• Look at the right-hand side of the oven front frame for the identification plate.
• Write down the model number, serial number, and lot number/letter.

What you will see on the identification plate

The identification plate typically includes key details used for parts lookup and service.

Plate item	What it’s used for
Model number	Matching the correct Kenmore parts diagrams and parts list
Serial number	Verifying production run details for service and support
Lot number/letter	Helps narrow down exact configuration when ordering parts
Fuel and pressure info	Confirms how the range was adjusted when it left the factory

Why it matters

We use the exact model number and serial information to make sure you get the right gas range parts (for example, an oven igniter, control overlay, or burner components) that fit your Kenmore range the first time.

Kenmore model 79073432314 is part of the Kenmore gas range family that uses the 790 model prefix; that prefix identifies the original manufacturer as Frigidaire (Electrolux). You can confirm the prefix and full model/serial information on the range’s identification plate (typically behind the broiler or storage drawer).

How to confirm it on your range

• Pull out and open the broiler drawer (some models) or storage drawer (some models).
• Look for the identification plate with the model and serial number.
• Verify the model begins with 790 (as in 79073432314).
• Record the model and serial for parts matching and service.

What the 790 prefix means

For Kenmore cooking products, the first three digits of the model number are the most useful clue to the original manufacturer.

What you see on the ID plate	What it indicates	Why it helps
Model starts with 790	Manufactured by Frigidaire (Electrolux)	Improves parts compatibility and troubleshooting accuracy
Full model and serial number	Exact production identity	Helps match the correct igniters, sensors, and control parts

Why it matters when ordering parts

Kenmore is a brand name used across multiple manufacturers. Knowing that 79073432314 is a Frigidaire-built design helps us match the correct gas range parts (for example, oven ignition and temperature sensing components) and avoid look-alike parts that do not fit.

If your Kenmore gas range model 79073432314 won’t ignite, the most common causes are no electrical power to the ignition system, a weak or failed oven igniter, or restricted airflow around the oven vent. A normal bake ignition can take 30 to 60 seconds before the burner lights.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the range is plugged in and the outlet has power (electric ignition needs power).
• Set Bake 300°F and watch for the igniter glow; it should glow before the burner lights.
• Wait a full 60 seconds before deciding it “won’t ignite.”
• Make sure the oven vent and the area around the lower front panel are not blocked.
• If there was a power failure, reset all oven controls to OFF, then try again.

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 hot enough, the oven gas valve opens and the burner lights.

What you observe	What it usually means	What to do next
No glow at all	No power, wiring issue, or failed igniter	Check power first; then inspect connections and igniter
Glows but never lights	Igniter is weak or gas valve is not opening	Replace igniter first; then consider gas valve diagnosis
Lights sometimes, slow to light	Weak igniter or airflow issue	Clear vent area; replace igniter if delay is excessive

Parts that commonly fix “no bake ignition”

A cracked or weak igniter is the most frequent repair for a bake burner that will not light. For this model, the correct replacement is the range oven igniter 5304509706.

Why it matters

A gas oven that does not ignite can allow unburned gas to accumulate in the oven cavity. Restoring reliable ignition protects cooking performance and helps prevent unsafe operating conditions.

A Kenmore gas range like model 79073432314 typically lasts 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. Keeping burners clean, ensuring proper ignition, and addressing small issues early helps you get the full expected lifespan.

What affects lifespan the most

• Cleaning and grease control: Built-up grease and spills can damage finishes and interfere with burner performance.
• Ignition health: A weak igniter can cause delayed ignition and extra wear on the oven gas valve.
• Heat and airflow: Good kitchen ventilation reduces grease buildup on controls and surfaces.
• Usage patterns: Daily high-heat cooking and frequent self-clean cycles can shorten component life.
• Timely repairs: Replacing a failing part early often prevents secondary damage.

Quick maintenance checklist (monthly or as needed)

• Wipe the cooktop and control area with hot, soapy water; avoid abrasive cleaners on finished surfaces.
• Remove and clean burner caps and grates; keep ports clear so flames stay even.
• Check oven ignition: when you set Bake, the igniter should glow and the burner should light within about a minute.
• Replace the oven light if it is out so you can monitor baking without opening the door.
• Review cleaning and care steps in the 79073432314 owner's manual.

Common wear items and what they do

Part	What you may notice when it is failing	Example part for this model
Oven igniter	Slow bake ignition, gas smell before lighting, no heat	Range oven igniter 5304509706
Oven light bulb	Oven light does not turn on	Appliance light bulb, 40-watt (model-specific options vary)
Oven temperature sensor	Temperature swings, underbaking or overbaking	Range oven temperature sensor (model-specific options vary)

Why it matters

A gas range can run safely and cook evenly for many years, but small performance issues (especially ignition delays) can turn into bigger repairs. Routine cleaning plus quick part replacement helps protect the oven control system, burner operation, and cooking results.
