Kenmore 79074423810 gas range Parts

Your Kenmore gas range model number is on the identification plate on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame; open the storage drawer, warmer drawer, or broiler drawer to see it. For this page, the model is 79074423810; match your plate to confirm. See the 79074423810 installation guide.

Where to look on your range

Check these common spots on Kenmore ranges, starting with the most reliable location:

• Open the storage drawer (or warmer/broiler drawer) and look up at the oven front frame on the right side
• Look for a metal plate or label that lists Model and Serial
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown
• Note any lot number or letter listed on the same plate (helpful when ordering parts)

What the identification plate tells you (and why it matters)

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

Plate item	What it’s used for	Why it matters
Model number	Parts lookup and diagrams	Ensures the part fits your exact range configuration
Serial number	Production details	Helps match revisions and compatible components
Fuel type and pressure setting	Gas setup	Confirms the range was adjusted for the correct gas supply
Burner ratings	Performance specs	Helps verify correct burner components

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

• Use the full model number, not just “790” or a partial string
• Match every digit; one digit off can change the burner system or control parts
• If your label is hard to read, take a clear photo before cleaning it
• When troubleshooting ignition or heating issues, confirm the model first, then test components

Common example for this model family

The Use & Care Guide for this Kenmore series lists model families like 790.7442*; your full model on the plate will be the complete number used for parts ordering.

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges often have multiple versions that look identical but use different igniters, sensors, or control parts. Using the identification plate model number is the fastest way to get the right diagrams and the right replacement parts the first time.

A Kenmore gas range like model 79074423810 typically lasts about 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. Keeping burners clean, ensuring good airflow, and addressing ignition or temperature issues early helps you get the full expected lifespan; see the 79074423810 use and care guide for routine care details.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most gas ranges reach their expected service life when these conditions are met:

• Burners and burner ports are kept clean and dry
• Oven is not run for long periods as a space heater
• Spills are cleaned up before they bake onto surfaces
• Ignition problems are fixed early (to prevent stress on components)
• Proper cookware is used (flat, stable pans sized to the burner)

Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)

Use this simple schedule to reduce wear on igniters, controls, and burner parts:

• Weekly: wipe cooktop, clean burner caps and heads after boilovers
• Monthly: check burner flames for steady blue (minimal yellow tipping)
• Quarterly: inspect power cord and outlet fit; tighten loose knobs or hardware
• As needed: replace failed oven light and address slow oven preheat

Common “wear items” vs. long-life parts

Some parts are expected to wear sooner than the range itself.

Item type	Examples	What you’ll notice	Typical action
Wear items	Light bulbs, igniters	No light, delayed ignition	Replace the failed part
Performance sensors	Oven temperature sensor	Baking temps off, uneven results	Test and replace if out of spec
Major components	Control board, gas valve	No heat, error symptoms, no bake/broil	Diagnose before replacing

If your oven is slow to ignite or won’t heat, the frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5304509706 is a common fix for ignition-related failures on this platform.

Why it matters

A range that is nearing end-of-life often shows up as inconsistent oven temperature, delayed ignition, or weak burner flames. Fixing those issues early can prevent secondary damage and helps keep cooking performance stable.

On the Kenmore 79074423810 gas range, the most common issues we see are burner ignition problems, uneven or poor baking results, the oven not operating due to setup or power issues, and the oven light not working. Many of these are resolved with cleaning, leveling, or a targeted part replacement using the owner's manual.

Common problems and what they usually point to

• Surface burners do not ignite: knob not fully turned to LITE, clogged burner ports, or a failing igniter assembly.
• Poor baking results (too hot, too cool, not done on time): rack position, overcrowding, not preheating, or oven temperature needing calibration.
• Range looks or cooks unevenly: appliance not level; leveling legs need adjustment.
• Oven will not run: power cord not plugged in, outage, clock not set, or controls not set correctly.
• Oven light out: bulb or socket issue; replace the bulb first.

Quick checks we recommend first

1. Confirm power and settings: verify the outlet has power and the clock is set.
2. Clean burner ports (when cool): clear ports with a small-gauge wire or needle.
3. Preheat and space cookware: center pans and leave 2 to 4 inches of clearance around them.
4. Level the range: place a level on the center oven rack and adjust leveling legs.

Parts that commonly solve these symptoms

Symptom	Common fix	Example part for this model
Surface burner won’t spark/ignite	Clean ports; replace igniter/orifice holder if needed	Range surface burner igniter and orifice holder 316536602
Oven won’t heat reliably	Replace weak igniter	Frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5304509706
Oven temperature seems off	Test/replace sensor	Range oven temperature sensor 316233903
Oven light doesn’t work	Replace bulb first	Appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904

Why it matters

Ignition and temperature issues affect safety, cooking performance, and fuel efficiency. Addressing simple causes (cleaning, leveling, correct settings) often prevents unnecessary part replacements and helps your Kenmore range heat and bake consistently.
