Kenmore 41516237 gas grill Parts

Yes, it’s usually worth fixing a Kenmore gas grill model 41516237 when the firebox and frame are solid and the problem is limited to serviceable parts (burners, ignition, grease handling, knobs). Replace the grill when structural rust-through, warping, or persistent gas leaks make safe operation unlikely.

Quick decision checklist

• Fix it if the grill body is sturdy and the issue is isolated (won’t ignite, uneven heat, worn knobs, clogged burner).
• Fix it if you can restore safe operation with cleaning, adjustment, and a few parts.
• Replace it if the firebox has holes, the lid or base is badly warped, or the cart/frame is failing.
• Replace it if you detect a gas leak you cannot stop after tightening connections and closing the LP tank valve.
• Replace it if repeated small failures are adding up to the cost of a new grill.

Typical repair costs vs. replacement (rule of thumb)

Situation	Usually makes sense	Why
Ignition or lighting trouble	Repair	Often cleaning or a small part restores reliable lighting
Uneven heating or low heat	Repair	Commonly caused by dirty burners/ports or grease buildup
Rusted-through firebox or major structural damage	Replace	Safety and heat control problems tend to continue
Ongoing gas odor or confirmed leak you can’t stop	Replace (or pro service)	Safe operation comes first

Parts that commonly make a repair worthwhile

These are typical “high-impact” fixes for performance and usability:

• Replace a worn burner assembly such as the burner 80013421.
• Restore cross-lighting between burners with the carryover tube 80005592.
• Improve temperature monitoring with a new Kenmore temperature gauge 80006354.
• Reduce flare-ups by keeping the grease system clean; replace the grease tray if damaged.

Why it matters (safety and performance)

Your grill’s manual emphasizes safe operation: use the grill only in a well-ventilated area, keep clearances from combustibles, and take gas leaks seriously. If you ever see “growing bubbles” during a leak test, shut the LP tank valve and correct the leak before using the grill again. For model-specific safety steps and cleaning guidance, follow the 41516237 owner’s manual.

For the best value, we recommend choosing a grill that matches how you cook most often: a reliable 2 to 3-burner cart grill for everyday grilling, or a larger 4-burner grill if you regularly cook for groups. For Kenmore model 41516237, the best “for the money” choice is the one you can keep safe, clean, and consistently heating, using the 41516237 owner's manual.

What “best value” means for most grill owners

A gas grill is a good value when it lights reliably, heats evenly, and is easy to maintain.

• Even heat across the cooking surface (fewer hot and cold spots)
• Reliable ignition and steady flame (less flare-up and relighting)
• Easy cleanup (grease management and accessible firebox)
• Parts support (burners, carryover tubes, knobs, and gauges)
• Safe clearances and ventilation (critical for outdoor use)

Quick buying guide (pick the right size)

Most shoppers get the best value by sizing the grill to their typical cookout.

Typical use	Best value size	Why it fits the budget
1 to 4 people	2 to 3 burners	Lower fuel use, faster preheat, simpler maintenance
4 to 8 people	3 to 4 burners	More space and better zone cooking
Frequent entertaining	4+ burners	More control for indirect cooking and higher output

Value checks you can do before you buy (or to judge what you have)

These checks also help you decide whether to repair your Kenmore 41516237 or replace it.

• Confirm you can use it only in a well-ventilated outdoor space (never enclosed areas)
• Plan for 3 ft clearance from walls and 10 ft from ignition sources
• Look for a firebox design that makes grease cleanup straightforward
• Verify replacement parts availability for wear items like the burner 80013421 and carryover tube 80005592
• Make sure the lid thermometer is readable and responsive (a working temperature gauge helps repeatable results)

Why it matters (safety and long-term cost)

A “cheap” grill stops being a bargain if it heats unevenly, flares up from grease buildup, or becomes hard to light. Following the safety clearances and routine cleaning guidance in the manual helps your grill perform better and last longer.
