Kenmore 79070613210 gas range Parts

On Kenmore gas range model 79070613210, the cooktop is not removable, so we do not remove the “top” as a service step. For cleaning and most repairs, we access components by removing grates, burner parts, or panels as outlined in the 79070613210 installation guide.

What you can remove safely (typical cooktop access)

• Remove the cooking grates.
• Lift off burner caps.
• Lift off burner heads/bases (if your version uses lift-off heads).
• Remove any visible mounting screws that secure burner bases or brackets (only if present).
• For deeper service access, remove the rear panel or other service panels instead of the cooktop.

Recommended access points for common repairs

If you are trying to reach a specific part, these access points are usually the right approach:

What you’re servicing	Usual access method	Example part you might replace
Surface burner won’t spark	Lift grates/caps; inspect igniter and wiring	Range spark module 5304508269
Oven won’t ignite or heats slowly	Access oven burner area; inspect igniter	Range oven burner igniter 5304509706
Oven temperature is inaccurate	Access sensor from oven cavity or rear (varies)	Range oven temperature sensor 316233903

Safety steps before you start

• Turn all burner knobs to OFF.
• Shut off the gas supply valve to the range.
• Unplug the power cord (spark ignition uses electricity).
• Let the range cool completely.
• Pull the range forward only as far as needed; avoid stressing the gas line.

Why it matters

Trying to force a non-removable cooktop can bend the frame, crack enamel, or damage gas tubing and igniter wiring. Using the correct access panels protects the manifold, regulator, and burner components while keeping the range safe to operate.

On the Kenmore 79070613210 gas range, the F31 error code points to an oven temperature sensing problem (most commonly the oven temperature sensor circuit). The range may stop heating or heat erratically until the sensor and its wiring are checked and corrected.

What to check first

• Turn the range off at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power and see if F31 returns.
• Inspect the sensor harness connection at the back of the oven cavity (loose plug, corrosion, pin damage).
• Look for damaged wiring (melted insulation, pinched wires, rubbed-through spots) between the sensor and control.
• If the code appears during preheat, note whether the oven ignites normally or struggles to light.
• If you recently moved the range, confirm it is installed and grounded correctly per the 79070613210 installation guide.

Likely fix and the part involved

In most cases, replacing the oven temperature sensor resolves F31 when wiring and connectors are in good shape. For this model, the sensor is the range oven temperature sensor 316233903.

Symptom with F31	Most common cause	What we recommend
Oven won’t heat and code appears quickly	Open sensor circuit or unplugged connector	Reseat connector; inspect harness; replace sensor if needed
Oven heats but temperature swings	Sensor out of range	Replace oven temperature sensor
Code appears after cleaning or moving	Pinched/loose wiring	Inspect routing and connectors; correct wire damage

Why it matters

The control board uses the temperature sensor signal to regulate gas ignition and oven temperature. When that signal is missing or out of range, the range posts F31 to prevent unsafe or uncontrolled heating.

Safety notes for gas ranges

• Shut off power before removing panels or testing wiring.
• If you smell gas, do not operate the range; shut off the gas supply valve and have the issue corrected.
• Do not attempt to operate the electric ignition oven during a power failure; reset controls to OFF.

If you can’t find a part for your Kenmore gas range model 79070613210, the fastest path is to confirm the exact model and serial information from the range’s identification plate, then use that information to match the correct part listing in our diagrams and parts categories. See the 79070613210 installation guide for where to locate the ID plate.

Step 1: Confirm the model and serial number on the range

The installation instructions explain that the identification plate is on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame; you access it by opening the storage, warmer, or broiler drawer (depending on your configuration).

• Open the lower drawer and look along the oven front frame (right side)
• Write down the model number, serial number, and any lot number/letter
• Match every character exactly (numbers and letters)
• Use that exact model number when searching parts
• Keep the information handy when ordering or calling for help

Step 2: Use the most common “hard-to-find” part categories

If a search term is too generic (for example, “igniter” or “burner”), it helps to narrow by the part type used on this model.

What you need	What it’s often listed under	Example from this model’s parts
Oven won’t heat	Oven burner ignition parts	Range oven burner igniter 5304509706
No spark at surface burners	Ignition switches or spark system	Range spark module 5304508269
Oven temperature issues	Sensor or control components	Range oven temperature sensor

Step 3: When to stop DIY searching and get direct help

If you still can’t locate the exact part, we recommend contacting Sears PartsDirect support with your model and serial details so we can cross-check diagrams, substitutions, and manufacturer revisions.

• You see multiple similar parts with different part numbers
• Your range has been converted to LP gas or had prior repairs
• The part is cosmetic (panels, overlays, handles) and color matters
• You’re unsure whether you need an assembly vs. an individual component

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers can look similar across different gas ranges, but small differences change the correct igniter, burner, regulator, or control parts. Using the identification plate details prevents ordering a part that does not fit.
