Does Kenmore make gas ranges?
Yes. Kenmore makes gas cooking appliances, and the Kenmore 91133465400 is a gas oven/range model that uses natural gas as shipped from the factory. For operating basics and safety guidance, follow the 91133465400 owner's manual.
What “Kenmore gas range” means for this model
Kenmore gas ranges use gas burners for heat and an electronic control system for features like timed bake and self-cleaning (when equipped). For the 91133465400 family, the manual covers:
- Bake, broil, and timed oven functions
- Control display, clock, and kitchen timer
- Self-cleaning cycle instructions and safety notes
- Oven light bulb and rack care
- Storage drawer use and cleaning
Fuel type and conversion basics
This matters most when you are moving, changing fuel supply, or troubleshooting flame quality.
| Topic | What to expect on Kenmore 91133465400 | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
| Factory fuel | Natural gas | Connect to a natural gas supply as intended |
| LP (propane) use | Requires conversion | Use the conversion procedure provided with the oven’s installation materials |
| Flame appearance | Proper adjustment shows a blue flame | If flames are yellow/sooty, stop and correct the issue before regular use |
Why it matters
Using the correct fuel type and setup helps your Kenmore range heat properly, prevents poor combustion symptoms (yellow flames, soot), and supports consistent baking and broiling performance.

How long should a Kenmore gas stove last?
A Kenmore gas range like model 91133465400 typically lasts 15 years with normal household use. Regular cleaning, keeping vents clear, and fixing heating or ignition problems early helps you get the full life out of the oven and burners.
Typical lifespan and what affects it
Most gas ranges reach their expected service life when these basics are consistent:
- Burners ignite quickly and burn with a steady blue flame
- Oven vent stays unobstructed (the manual notes the vent is important for proper air circulation and should never be blocked)
- Spills are cleaned before they bake onto the oven bottom and panels
- Cooling fan noise during and after baking is treated as normal operation, not ignored as a “problem”
- Small issues (slow preheat, weak broil, delayed ignition) are corrected before they stress other components
Maintenance checklist (high impact, low effort)
Use this quick routine to reduce wear on ignition and temperature-control parts:
- Wipe up spills after the oven cools; avoid letting grease carbonize on the oven bottom
- Keep the oven vent area above the door clear of foil, towels, and cookware
- Turn the oven light off when not needed (the manual notes the light can add heat if left on)
- Avoid holding cooked food warm longer than 2 hours at low temps (food safety and less continuous cycling)
- If baking temps seem off, use the oven temperature adjustment procedure in the 91133465400 owner's manual
Common “end-of-life” symptoms and likely fixes
Some failures are repairable and can extend the range’s life.
| Symptom | Common cause | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven won’t heat or takes too long to ignite | Weak oven igniter | Igniter WB2X9154 |
| Oven temperature swings widely | Sensor/control issue | Range oven control board WB27X27461 |
| Control panel acts erratically | Keypad/control problem | Control panel WB36T10751 |
Why it matters
A gas range often fails gradually. Addressing ignition and control issues early helps prevent repeated burner cycling, overheating of electrical components, and inconsistent cooking results that make the appliance feel “worn out” before it truly is.

How to change Kenmore spark electrode igniter?
To change a spark electrode igniter on your Kenmore range model 91133465400, we shut off power and gas, remove the burner parts to access the electrode, transfer the wire to the new electrode, then reinstall and test for a strong, consistent spark at the burner.
Safety first (before you touch anything)
- Turn the burner knob to OFF and let everything cool completely.
- Shut off electrical power to the range at the breaker (spark ignition uses electricity).
- Close the gas shutoff valve.
- Work in good light; keep screws and small parts organized.
Steps to replace the spark electrode igniter
- Remove the grate and burner cap/head for the burner that is not sparking.
- Lift the cooktop or remove the burner base hardware (varies by design); follow the access steps in the 91133465400 owner's manual.
- Locate the ceramic spark electrode next to the burner.
- Disconnect the wire from the old electrode (pull on the connector, not the wire).
- Remove the mounting screw(s) and take out the old electrode.
- Install the new electrode in the same position and secure it.
- Reattach the wire connector firmly; it must seat fully for reliable sparking.
- Reassemble the burner parts, restore power and gas, then test ignition.
Quick checks if it still will not spark
- Electrode tip is not aligned near the burner (gap too wide or pointing away).
- Wire connector is loose or corroded.
- Burner head/cap is wet or installed incorrectly.
- Cracked ceramic electrode (often causes weak spark or arcing to metal).
What part might be involved?
If the issue is actually the oven not lighting (not the surface burner spark), the hot-surface igniter is a different part. For this model, a common oven ignition part is the igniter WB2X9154.
| Symptom | Most likely area | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Surface burner clicks but will not light | Spark electrode, alignment, moisture | Dry/realign, replace electrode |
| No clicking on any burner | Spark module/power supply issue | Check power, wiring, module |
| Oven will not heat, no glow at burner | Oven igniter | Replace igniter |
Why it matters
A properly positioned, uncracked electrode and tight wire connection gives a strong spark at the right spot, so gas lights quickly. That prevents delayed ignition, flare-ups, and uneven cooking.

Where to find model number on Kenmore gas range?
On the Kenmore range model 91133465400, the model and serial number label is located on the front frame behind the oven door. Open the oven door fully and look along the frame (door jamb area) for the rating label; that is the fastest, most reliable spot.
Where to look on model 91133465400
Check these locations in this order:
- Front frame behind the oven door (primary location)
- Left or right side of the oven opening frame (door jamb)
- Lower front frame area near the storage drawer opening (if your unit has a drawer)
- Back panel area (less common on this style)
Use the 91133465400 owner's manual to confirm the label location and see the diagram showing the model and serial number position.
What the label looks like and what to write down
The rating label typically includes both identifiers you may need for parts and service.
| Item | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts diagrams and parts lists | 911.33464 (format varies) |
| Serial number | Identifying production run for service | Letters and numbers |
- Copy the model number exactly as printed (including dots or extra digits)
- Copy the serial number exactly
- Take a clear photo before the label gets worn or stained
Why it matters
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore gas range parts (like an igniter, control board, or pressure regulator) to your exact configuration. Even small model number differences can change which parts fit.

Why is my Kenmore oven not igniting?
If your Kenmore gas range model 91133465400 is not igniting, the most common cause is the oven igniter not heating to a bright orange glow, so the gas valve never opens fully and the burner does not light. A power interruption can also prevent ignition because this oven burner cannot be lit during a power failure.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Confirm the display and oven controls respond; if the control is dead, restore power at the breaker.
- Start BAKE and watch for an igniter glow at the back of the oven (through the openings in the bottom panel).
- If the igniter glows weakly or never reaches bright orange, plan to replace the igniter.
- Make sure the oven vent is not blocked (blocking the vent can affect burner operation and safety).
- If you recently changed fuel type, verify the range is set up for the correct gas (natural gas vs. LP conversion).
What the glow-bar igniter is supposed to do
Your 91133465400 uses a glow-bar style ignition system: when you set the oven, the igniter heats; once it gets hot enough (bright orange), gas flows to the burner and lights.
| What you see | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| No glow at all | Failed igniter, wiring issue, or control not sending power | Check connections; replace igniter if wiring is intact |
| Dull glow, no flame | Weak igniter (common) | Replace the igniter |
| Bright glow, still no flame | Gas flow issue (valve/regulator) or burner problem | Check gas supply; consider valve/regulator diagnosis |
Parts that commonly fix “won’t ignite”
- Igniter WB2X9154
- Range oven control board WB27X27461
- Control panel WB36T10751
- Pressure regulator WB19T10079
Why it matters
A weak igniter can delay ignition or prevent it entirely, which leads to no-heat complaints and can cause unburned gas odor. Correct gas setup also matters; operating on the wrong fuel configuration can create unsafe flames and poor cooking performance.
Reference for your exact model
Use the 91133465400 owner's manual for the operating sequence (BAKE, temperature selection, START) and safety guidance, including notes about power failures and proper gas setup.
