How do I find my Kenmore Grill model number?
Your Kenmore gas grill model number is printed on the rating label attached to the grill body. On most Kenmore grills, you’ll find it on the back panel of the grill base or inside the cabinet area. For model-specific label locations and diagrams, check the 14820126510 owner's manual.
Where to look on the grill
Check these common spots first (use a flashlight and wipe grease off the label):
- Back panel of the grill base (rear of the cart)
- Inside the cabinet doors (inner side wall or back wall)
- Side panel near the propane tank area (LP models)
- Under the control panel area (behind the knobs, if accessible)
- On the firebox exterior (near the rear or side of the cook box)
What to write down (and why)
Record the information exactly as shown so we can match the correct Kenmore 14820126510 gas grill parts.
- Model number (for example: 14820126510)
- Serial number (if listed)
- Gas type noted on the label (LP propane or natural gas)
- Any suffixes or additional numbers/letters on the tag
Quick checklist
| Item | Example | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 14820126510 | Correct parts diagrams and part fit |
| Serial number | Varies | Production run details |
| Gas type | LP or NG | Regulator/orifice compatibility |
Why it matters
Kenmore grills often look similar across multiple model families, but burner tubes, heat plates, igniters, and regulators can differ by model number. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong outdoor grill parts and helps troubleshooting go faster.

Is it worth fixing a gas grill?
Yes, fixing a Kenmore gas grill like model 14820126510 is worth it when the problem is a normal wear item (ignition, burners, regulator, grates) and the firebox and frame are still solid. Replace the grill when the firebox is failing, the structure is unsafe, or repair cost is close to a new grill.
Quick decision checklist
Repair is the smart move when:
- Burners are clogged, rusted through, or heating unevenly
- Igniter will not spark (battery, electrode, wires, or ignition module)
- Regulator or hose is restricting gas flow
- Flavorizer bars, heat tents, or cooking grates are worn
- The grill body is stable and lid and firebox are not cracked
Replace the grill when:
- Firebox is cracked, badly warped, or has holes
- Frame/cart is severely rusted and no longer stable
- Burner mounting points are rotted out so parts will not secure safely
- You smell gas consistently after tightening connections and replacing the regulator/hose
Cost and effort: a simple rule of thumb
Most owners get the best value when repair parts total less than about 30% to 50% of the cost of a comparable new grill.
| What you’re fixing | Typical DIY difficulty | Usually worth it? |
|---|---|---|
| Ignition (electrode/module) | Easy | Yes |
| Burners | Medium | Yes |
| Regulator/hose | Easy to medium | Yes |
| Firebox/frame damage | Hard | No |
Why it matters (safety and performance)
A grill that lights reliably and heats evenly cooks better and reduces flare-ups. Structural rust or a failing firebox can create unsafe conditions, so those issues are the clear line where replacement makes more sense than repair.
What we recommend doing next
- Review the parts breakdown and safety notes in the 14820126510 owner's manual
- Start with the simplest checks: fresh LP tank, open valve slowly, clean burner ports
- If ignition is the issue, follow gas grill wont ignite or light video
- If heat is uneven, use how to fix uneven heating on a gas grill video
- If you see heavy grease buildup, follow how to clean a gas grill video

Who makes Kenmore gas grills?
Kenmore gas grills (including model 14820126510) are built by different OEM manufacturers depending on the model and production run. The most reliable way to identify who built your exact grill is to use the rating label and the identification information shown in the 14820126510 owner's manual.
How to identify the OEM for your specific Kenmore 14820126510
Use these checks to confirm the builder and match the correct replacement parts:
- Find the rating label on the cart frame, inside the cabinet, or on a side panel
- Record the model number and serial number exactly as printed
- Look for an additional manufacturer line such as “Manufactured for” or an OEM name on the label
- Check the parts diagrams and exploded views for component style (burners, valves, ignition)
- Compare your grill’s burner mounting tabs, venturi shape, and control panel layout to the diagrams
What to do if the label is missing or unreadable
You can still identify the correct parts by matching component details:
- Measure burner length and note how it mounts to the firebox
- Identify ignition type (battery push-button, rotary, or electronic module)
- Confirm gas type and connection (LP tank regulator and hose vs. natural gas quick-connect)
- Match heat plates (flame tamers) and cooking grate dimensions
| Part area | What to match | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Burner system | Length, venturi, mounting points | Prevents poor flame and uneven heating |
| Ignition | Electrode shape, wire length, module style | Restores reliable lighting |
| Gas supply | Regulator/hose connection type | Helps avoid leaks and low-gas symptoms |
| Heat distribution | Heat plate and grate fit | Reduces flare-ups and hot spots |
Why the manufacturer matters
Kenmore is a brand name used across multiple builders; the OEM determines which burner, ignition, regulator, and hardware styles fit correctly and operate safely.
