Kenmore 79071342706 gas range Parts

On the Kenmore gas range model 79071342706, the model and serial number identification plate is typically on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame, near the storage drawer or warmer drawer, or in the lower panel area. Confirm the exact spot using the 79071342706 installation guide.

Where to look on the range

Check these common locations first (in order):

• Right-hand side of the oven front frame (open the storage drawer or warmer drawer and look along the frame)
• Lower panel area (behind the lower panel, if your model has one)
• Around the drawer opening lip and frame edges (the plate is often on a flat vertical surface)
• If the drawer is removable, pull it out fully to improve visibility

Quick steps to find it fast

1. Turn the oven controls to OFF and let the range cool.
2. Pull out the storage drawer or warmer drawer.
3. Use a flashlight and look on the right-hand oven front frame.
4. Write down:
   • Model number (example: 79071342706)
   • Serial number
   • Any lot number or letter shown

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

The identification plate is used to match the correct Kenmore parts and service information. It also lists key appliance details.

Plate item	Why we use it
Model number	Ensures parts diagrams and replacements match your exact range
Serial number	Helps confirm production details for service and compatibility
Fuel and pressure info	Confirms natural gas vs LP setup and regulator configuration
Burner ratings	Helps with troubleshooting flame and performance issues

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges often have similar-looking designs across multiple model numbers; using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong igniter, sensor, or gas valve for your range.

Kenmore model 79071342706 is made by Frigidaire (Electrolux family). On Kenmore appliances, the first three digits of the model number (the prefix) identify the original manufacturer; a 790 prefix points to Frigidaire for this gas range.

How to confirm it on the appliance

We recommend matching the model number on the range’s identification plate to your paperwork.

• Look for the identification plate on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame.
• It’s typically visible at the storage drawer or warmer drawer area (or lower panel area).
• Record the model and serial number before ordering parts.
• Use the same model number when checking burner ratings, fuel type, and gas pressure info.

Why the manufacturer matters for parts

Knowing Frigidaire made this Kenmore range helps ensure you choose compatible components (like igniters, sensors, and gas valves) and follow the correct service procedures.

What you’re doing	Why “Frigidaire-made” helps	Example part type
Ordering replacement parts	Improves match accuracy for fit and wiring	Oven igniter, temperature sensor
Troubleshooting ignition	Points you to common Frigidaire-style hot-surface ignition behavior	Igniter, gas valve
Using documentation	Ensures the right safety and setup steps	Installation and use instructions

Common parts you may see on this model

If you are diagnosing an oven that will not heat or takes too long to light, these are common related parts for Kenmore 79071342706.

• Tappan range oven burner igniter 316489403 (bake ignition)
• Range oven igniter 5304506545 (broil ignition)
• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 (temperature regulation)
• Range oven gas valve 316404901 (gas flow control)

Why it matters (quick context)

This range uses a hot-surface igniter system; when the oven is turned on, the igniter glows and the oven gas valve opens after the igniter reaches ignition temperature. That normal ignition delay is typically 30 to 60 seconds.

On the Kenmore gas range model 79071342706, an F1 (sometimes shown as F10) error code typically points to a problem in the oven’s electronic control system. The most common causes are a failing electronic oven control (clock/control board), a temperature sensor issue, or a wiring/connection fault.

What F1 usually means on a Kenmore range

F1 is commonly tied to the control detecting an invalid signal, which can be triggered by:

• A failing electronic oven control (EOC) or keypad input circuit
• A shorted or open oven temperature sensor circuit
• Loose, damaged, or overheated wiring between the sensor and control
• Moisture, heat damage, or corrosion at connectors

If the code appears during baking or broiling, focus first on the sensor circuit and wiring; if it appears at idle, the control/keypad is more likely.

Quick checks you can do safely

Before checking anything internal, shut off power at the breaker.

• Reset power: turn the breaker off for 1 minute, then back on
• Confirm the oven is not in a timed mode; reset all controls to Off
• Look for obvious pinched or burned wires behind the control panel area (only if you can access safely)
• If the oven will not heat and you also have ignition symptoms, inspect the igniter system

Parts that commonly relate to F1 symptoms

These parts are often involved when the control is reacting to bad temperature feedback or unstable heating:

Symptom you notice	Common area to check	Example part for this model
F1 after preheat starts	Temperature sensing circuit	Range oven temperature sensor 316490000
Oven heats inconsistently, then errors	Ignition/heat stability	Tappan range oven burner igniter 316489403

Why it matters

When the control cannot trust the temperature signal, it may stop heating or behave unpredictably. Addressing sensor and wiring issues early helps prevent repeated shutdowns and protects the oven control from ongoing electrical stress.
