Kenmore Elite 79075333311 gas range Parts

For Kenmore Elite gas range model 79075333311, the model and serial number label is on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame. Open the storage drawer, warmer drawer, or broiler drawer to access the identification plate and read the model number.

Check these spots in this order (they are the most common for this model family):

• Open the bottom drawer (storage, warmer, or broiler drawer depending on your unit)
• Look at the lower right area of the oven front frame
• Find the identification plate with model and serial numbers
• Write down the model number, serial number, and any lot number/letter

1. Make sure the oven is off and cool.
2. Pull the bottom drawer fully open.
3. Use a flashlight and look along the right side of the oven frame.
4. Copy the model and serial exactly as printed.

The identification plate is more than a model tag; it also lists key specs used for safe service and correct parts matching.

We use the model number to ensure you get the right Kenmore range parts (like an oven igniter, temperature sensor, or spark module) that fit and function correctly. For model-specific diagrams and labeling details, use the owner's manual.

Knowing the manufacturer helps match the correct parts and troubleshooting steps for your Kenmore Elite range.

• Use the full model number 79075333311 when ordering parts
• Match parts by function (oven igniter, temperature sensor, spark module) and by the exact part listing
• Follow the safety and service procedures in the manual before disassembly

Kenmore branding can hide the original manufacturer. Using the 790-series identification keeps you aligned with the correct wiring layout, gas ignition design, and compatible replacement parts for the Kenmore Elite 79075333311.

On the Kenmore Elite gas range model 79075333311, the oven typically won’t ignite when the hot-surface igniter is weak or failed, power to the range is interrupted, or the gas valve is not opening. In normal operation, the igniter should glow and the burner should light within 30 to 60 seconds.

• Confirm the range has power; the oven’s electric ignition will not operate during a power failure.
• Set Bake to 300°F and watch for the igniter glow; ignition should happen within 60 seconds.
• If the igniter glows but the burner never lights, the igniter is usually too weak to open the gas valve.
• If nothing glows and there is no attempt to ignite, check for a control or wiring issue.
• Make sure the oven vent and airflow around the range are not obstructed; proper combustion needs fresh air.

If your symptoms match, these are the most common fixes for this model:

• No glow at all: wiring issue, control problem, or failed igniter
• Glows but no flame: weak igniter (most common)
• Ignites but temperature is erratic: sensor issue

A weak igniter can glow but still fail to draw enough current to open the oven gas valve, so the burner never lights. Addressing ignition problems quickly helps prevent repeated no-heat cycles and reduces strain on the ignition system.

• Do not attempt to operate the electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure; reset oven controls to OFF.
• Avoid blocking the oven vent or airflow around the base; the range needs fresh air for proper burner combustion.
• Use the lighting and operation steps in the installation guide and the operating steps in the owner's manual.

A Kenmore gas range like model 79075333311 typically lasts 15 years with normal household use. Regular cleaning, correct burner flame, and prompt replacement of wear items (like igniters and light bulbs) help you reach that lifespan.

Most ranges fail early due to heat-related wear, grease buildup, or ignition problems rather than the oven cavity itself.

• Cooking frequency (daily use shortens life)
• Grease and spill cleanup (especially around burner bases and the oven bottom)
• Ventilation (reduces heat and grease accumulation in controls)
• Ignition system condition (surface and oven igniters)
• Gas supply stability (regulator and valve performance)

On the Kenmore Elite 79075333311, these are common “life-limiting” parts that are normal to replace over time:

• Oven won’t heat or takes too long: tappan range oven burner igniter 316489403
• Oven temperature swings: frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
• Surface burners clicking or not sparking: range spark module 5304508269
• Dim or burned-out oven light: appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904

Use this as a practical guide when deciding whether a repair makes sense.

A 15-year lifespan assumes basic maintenance. Keeping burner ports clear, cleaning spills promptly, and following the care steps in the owner's manual helps prevent heat damage to wiring, controls, and ignition parts.

To change a spark electrode igniter on your Kenmore Elite 79075333311 gas range, we shut off power and gas, remove the grate and burner pieces, replace the electrode at the burner base, reconnect the wire, then test ignition so the burner lights within about 4 seconds after air is purged.

• Turn all burner knobs to OFF and let the cooktop cool.
• Shut off power (unplug or switch off the breaker).
• Shut off the gas supply valve.
• If you smell gas, stop and keep knobs OFF.

1. Remove the burner grate.
2. Lift off the burner cap and burner head.
3. Access the electrode at that burner location (each burner has its own electrode).
4. Pull off the wire connector from the electrode.
5. Remove the mounting screw, then remove the electrode.
6. Install the new electrode in the same position and secure it.
7. Reconnect the wire firmly.
8. Reinstall the burner head and cap; make sure the cap is seated correctly.

Use the procedure in the installation guide.

• Turn one knob to LITE; you should hear clicking/sparking.
• After air is purged from the gas line, the burner lights within 4 seconds.
• Turn the knob out of LITE once the flame is established (leaving it in LITE keeps sparking).

• Frigidaire range surface burner igniter and orifice holder 316536602 (electrode and holder at the burner base)
• Range spark module 5304508269 (creates spark for the igniters)

A straight, securely mounted electrode and correctly seated burner cap prevent delayed ignition, constant clicking, and uneven flames.
