Kenmore Elite 79031033802 gas range Parts

Kenmore model 79031033802 is a Kenmore Elite gas range built for Kenmore by Frigidaire (Electrolux/Frigidaire). The key identifier is the 790 model prefix, which is commonly used on Kenmore ranges manufactured by Frigidaire; you can confirm the full model and serial on the range’s serial plate.

Use the serial plate information to match your exact unit details.

• Locate the serial plate (often on the oven frame area behind the storage/broil drawer, or along the door frame).
• Verify the model reads 790.3103__ or 790.3104__ (the last digits are typically the color/variant).
• Record the full model and serial number for parts lookup.
• Use the documentation for your exact feature set, since the manual can cover multiple variants.

For the official identification and record fields, use the 79031033802 owner’s manual.

Kenmore is the brand on the label; the prefix indicates the manufacturing source used for that product line.

Knowing Frigidaire built this Kenmore Elite range helps us steer you toward the right style of components and common failure points for this platform (ignition parts, oven sensor, gas valve, and control components).

If you are diagnosing an oven heat or ignition issue on this model, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:

• Frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066 (weak igniter can prevent the gas valve from opening)
• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 (incorrect readings can cause temperature problems)
• Range oven gas valve 316404901 (gas flow control for bake/broil)

The Kenmore Elite gas range model 79031033802 does not use a single dedicated reset button. For most “reset” situations, we restore normal operation by power cycling the range (turning the breaker off, then back on) and then re-setting the clock and any cooking settings per the 79031033802 owner’s manual.

Use these steps to safely “reboot” the controls and clear many temporary glitches.

• Turn all surface burner knobs to OFF.
• Turn the range breaker OFF for 2 to 5 minutes.
• Turn the breaker ON.
• Re-set the clock and re-enter any cooking settings.
• If the issue involves baking temperature accuracy, check whether an oven temperature offset was previously programmed.

This model can store an oven temperature adjustment in memory. If the oven seems consistently too hot or too cool, a power outage or breaker reset will not clear that adjustment; it stays in memory until you change it again using the oven temperature adjustment procedure in the 79031033802 owner’s manual.

A breaker reset is useful for clearing temporary electronic control issues, but it will not undo stored settings (like an oven temperature offset). Knowing the difference prevents repeated “resets” when the real fix is adjusting settings or troubleshooting a specific part.

If your Kenmore Elite gas range model 79031033802 isn’t heating, the most common causes are a failed oven igniter, a gas supply issue, or a control/safety condition that prevents the oven from lighting. Start with basic checks, then test the igniter and temperature-sensing components.

• Confirm the range has power; this model’s oven should not be operated during a power failure (turn the oven off if power drops). See the safety notes in the 79031033802 owner's manual.
• Make sure the main gas shutoff valve is fully open; if you ever suspect a gas leak, shut off the main valve immediately.
• Set BAKE and watch through the oven bottom vents for ignition: you should typically hear a click and see the burner light after the igniter heats.
• Verify you allowed full preheat time; baking performance issues can look like “not heating” when the oven is not preheated.

A weak igniter can glow but still not draw enough current to open the gas valve, so the burner never lights.

• If the igniter does not glow at all, check wiring connections and the igniter itself.
• If it glows but the burner does not light (or lights slowly), replace the igniter.

Recommended part for this model: Frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066

• Oven temperature sensor out of range: can cause poor heating or temperature problems. Consider testing/replacing the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002.
• Gas valve issue: if the igniter is proven good but the burner still will not open, the range oven gas valve 316404901 can be involved.
• Control or wiring problem: loose/burned connectors, damaged harness, or a control fault can interrupt power to the igniter.

On a gas oven, the igniter is a safety device; if it cannot prove ignition conditions, the gas valve may stay closed and the oven will not heat. Fixing the root cause restores safe, consistent baking performance.
