How do I find my Kenmore Grill model number?
For Kenmore gas grill model 12233492411, the model number is printed on the grill’s rating label; on grills like this, it’s typically on the back panel of the grill base or inside the cabinet area. Use the exact model number when looking up parts and instructions in the 12233492411 owner's manual and when searching on Sears PartsDirect.
Check these common label locations first:
- Back panel of the grill base (rear of the cart)
- Inside the cabinet (open the doors and look on the side wall)
- Side panel near the propane tank area
- Under a side shelf (underside or inner edge)
- Near the control panel area (inside edge, not on the knobs)
Record the information exactly as shown on the label:
- Model number (example format in the manual: 122.33492411)
- Item number (often listed separately)
- Serial number (if present)
Kenmore grills often have similar-looking burners, igniters, cooking grates, and regulator assemblies across different versions. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct outdoor grill parts and avoid ordering the wrong component.
| Label field | What it does | Example you might see |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Identifies the exact grill design | 122.33492411 |
| Item | Identifies the retail item package | 640-05861277-1 |
| Serial | Tracks production run | Varies |
- Copy numbers exactly, including dots and dashes.
- If the label is greasy or faded, wipe it gently and use a flashlight at an angle.
- Match the model number on the label to the model shown in your manual cover.

Is it worth fixing a gas grill?
Yes, it’s worth fixing a Kenmore gas grill like model 12233492411 when the firebox, lid, and frame are structurally solid and the issue is limited to serviceable items (ignition, burners, regulator, hose, valves, or clogged orifices). Replace the grill if the cookbox is rusted through or the frame is unsafe.
- Fix it if the grill body is solid and you have one clear failure (no-ignite, weak flame, uneven heat).
- Fix it if the problem is maintenance-related (blocked burner tubes, plugged orifice, air in the gas line).
- Fix it if the regulator or hose shows wear and you can replace it before using the grill.
- Replace it if the firebox is perforated by rust, the base is warped, or the lid no longer seals.
- Replace it if you smell gas after shutoff or controls do not reliably turn off.
Many “won’t light” or “low flame” issues come from gas-flow restrictions, not major components.
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Low flame after tank change | Regulator excess-flow tripped or air in line | Reset regulator and purge air per the 12233492411 owner’s manual (open lid, turn tank on slowly). |
| Uneven heat, hard ignition | Plugged orifice or burner tube obstruction | Remove burners and clear the orifice with a fine wire; clean burner tubes as directed in the manual. |
| Flare-ups, poor heat control | Grease buildup, blocked ports | Deep-clean firebox and burner ports; verify proper burner seating. |
A repair is only “worth it” if the grill remains safe to operate. The manual requires outdoor-only use and at least 36 inches clearance from combustibles; those basics matter as much as the repair itself.
Match parts by the exact model number 12233492411 to keep fuel-system fittings correct. If you do not see what you need in the parts list, search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

What replacement parts are most commonly needed for the 12233492411?
For the Kenmore 12233492411 gas grill, the most commonly needed replacement parts are the wear items exposed to heat, grease, and ignition use: burners, flame tamers (heat plates), cooking grates, igniter parts, and grease trays. Use the [12233492411 owner's manual] parts list to match the exact part number.
These parts typically need replacement first because they handle flame, drippings, and repeated heating cycles:
- Main burner (often clogs, rusts, or burns through)
- Flame tamer (heat diffuser) (warps or corrodes)
- Cooking grids (rust, flaking, or heavy buildup)
- Ignition parts (battery, igniter wires, electrodes) (no spark or intermittent spark)
- Grease tray (corrosion or heavy grease damage)
Your manual lists these as core service parts for this model:
| Part name (manual description) | Example part number shown | Qty on grill |
|---|---|---|
| Flame tamer | 0830S-007 | 4 |
| Main burner | 0830S-008 | 4 |
| Sear burner grease tray | 0830S-038 | 1 |
| Temperature gauge | 0830S-004 | 1 |
| Igniter wires (A/B) | 0830S-010 / 0830S-011 | 1 each |
Use these quick symptom-to-part checks before ordering:
- Grill won’t light but gas is on: battery, igniter wires, electrode, or burner ports need cleaning
- Low heat on HI: burner ports clogged, burner damaged, or gas supply issue (also check for a kinked hose)
- Uneven flames or hot spots: flame tamers misaligned or deteriorated, burner ports partially blocked
- Excess flare-ups: grease tray full, flame tamers missing/warped, heavy grease buildup
Replacing the correct wear parts restores safe ignition, even heat, and predictable cooking performance. It also helps prevent flare-ups caused by grease buildup and poor flame control.
