Kenmore 36275502000 gas range Parts

You can find the model number for your Kenmore gas range 36275502000 on the appliance’s rating label, which is typically placed where it stays readable but protected from heat and spills. On ranges like this, the label is most often in the oven door area or around the storage drawer opening.

Look in these spots first (in order):

• Oven door jamb: open the oven door and check the frame around the opening
• Storage or broiler drawer area: pull the bottom drawer out and look on the frame behind it
• Back panel: check the rear of the range near the gas line connection area
• Side frame: sometimes on the side of the chassis behind the control panel area
• Lower front frame: near the leveling legs or toe area

The rating label usually includes several identifiers. For parts lookup, we recommend recording these:

• Model number (example: 36275502000)
• Serial number (helps confirm production run)
• Gas type (natural gas or LP conversion info)
• Electrical rating (useful for light socket, switches, and wiring)

Kenmore ranges often share similar styling across multiple models, but parts like a bake igniter, burner valve, or burner orifice can vary by model. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong component.

On the Kenmore gas range model 36275502000, the oven door unlocks after the self-clean or lock cycle ends. If it stays locked, press and hold STOP/CLEAR for about 5 seconds until you hear a click and the latch releases.

• Make sure the oven is OFF and not in Self Clean.
• Wait for the oven to cool down; many locks stay engaged until the cavity cools.
• Press and hold STOP/CLEAR for 5 seconds.
• Listen for a click from the door latch motor.
• Gently try the handle; do not force the door.
• If the display shows a lock indicator, repeat the hold once after 30 seconds.

A stuck lock is usually caused by heat, a jammed latch, or a control issue.

If the door locked during a failed bake or after a clean cycle, verifying ignition and flame is a smart next step.

• Bake burner ignition WB13X40208 (igniter that lights the bake burner)
• Bake burner WB16K10035 (burner tube that distributes gas for baking)
• Control valve WB19K36 (oven gas valve that regulates gas flow)

Forcing a locked oven door can bend hinges, damage the latch, or crack the door glass. Using the correct cancel step and letting the oven cool protects the latch system and keeps your Kenmore range operating safely.

To change a spark electrode igniter on your Kenmore gas range model 36275502000, we disconnect power and gas, remove the burner parts to access the electrode, swap the electrode and wire connection, then reassemble and test for a strong, consistent spark at the burner.

• Unplug the range or switch off the breaker.
• Turn the gas supply shutoff valve to OFF.
• Let all surfaces cool completely.
• Work in good light; keep screws and small parts organized.
• If you smell gas at any point, stop and ventilate the area.

1. Remove the grate and burner head/cap for the burner that is not sparking.
2. Lift the cooktop (if applicable) or remove the burner base screws to access the electrode mounting area.
3. Note the electrode position: the ceramic tip must sit close to the burner for reliable ignition.
4. Disconnect the electrode wire by pulling the boot/connector straight off (do not yank the wire).
5. Remove the mounting screw and take out the old electrode.
6. Install the new electrode in the same orientation; tighten the screw snugly.
7. Reconnect the wire firmly to the electrode terminal.
8. Reassemble the burner parts, restore gas and power, then test ignition.

• Cracked ceramic insulator on the new electrode
• Loose wire connection at the electrode or at the spark module
• Moisture or heavy soil around the electrode tip
• Burner cap not seated correctly
• Damaged wire insulation causing arcing to metal

A correctly positioned, uncracked electrode creates a consistent spark that lights gas quickly. That reduces delayed ignition, improves burner reliability, and helps prevent nuisance clicking.

If you are also chasing an oven ignition issue (bake not lighting), the oven uses a different ignition system than the surface spark electrode; for that, we typically inspect the bake burner ignition WB13X40208 and related wiring.

• Oven light bulb, socket, and lens
• Door glass and door panels

• Confirm the model tag reads 36275502000 (one digit off can change the part fit).
• If the oven will not ignite, watch for a glow or spark at the igniter area during bake.
• If surface flames are uneven, clean burner ports and verify the correct orifice is installed.
• If you smell gas or suspect a leak, shut off the gas supply and have a qualified technician service the range.

Gas range parts are highly model-specific. Using the exact Kenmore model number helps ensure the igniter, burner, valve, or light parts fit correctly and restore safe, consistent heat control.
