Kenmore 79036673400 gas range Parts

Your Kenmore gas range model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label; for this series it typically looks like 790.3667* (with the last digits indicating the color). On model 79036673400, you’ll usually find that label around the oven frame or storage drawer area; confirm the exact location in the owner's manual.

Where to look on a Kenmore range

Check these common spots first (in order):

• Oven door jamb (open the oven door and look along the frame)
• Behind the storage drawer or warming drawer (pull the drawer out and look on the frame)
• Back panel near the gas connection or vent area
• Side frame behind the lower kick panel (if your model has one)

What the label should show

The rating label normally includes the key identifiers you need for parts and service.

Label item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Matching parts diagrams and parts	79036673400
Serial number	Identifying production run	Letters and numbers
Gas type and electrical info	Installation and safety checks	Natural gas, voltage, Hz

Why it matters

We use the exact model number to match burner parts, ignition components, and oven controls to your specific Kenmore range. Even one digit off can point to a different parts list.

Quick tips to avoid mix-ups

• Write the model number exactly as shown (include all digits)
• If you see a dot format (like 790.3667xxx), record it exactly as printed
• Use the model number, not the brand name alone, when ordering parts

On the Kenmore gas range model 79036673400, the model and serial number are printed on the serial plate on the oven front frame behind the oven door. On some versions, the serial plate is on the drawer side frame. See the installation guide for the exact location callout.

How to find the serial plate on your range

• Open the oven door fully and look along the front frame (the metal frame around the oven opening).
• Check the left and right sides of that front frame for a label or metal plate.
• If you do not see it, pull out the bottom drawer (if your range has one) and look on the drawer side frame.
• Write down the model number, serial number, and any lot number/letter shown.
• Keep the information with your Use and Care paperwork for future parts lookups.

What the serial plate information is used for

When we help you identify replacement parts for your Kenmore 79036673400 gas range, the serial plate details help match the correct version of components such as:

• Oven burner igniter
• Cooktop spark module
• Gas regulator
• Surface burner head

You need	Where to use it	Why it matters
Model number (79036673400)	Parts diagrams and parts list	Ensures you are shopping the correct appliance
Serial number	Version and production details	Helps match parts that changed during production
Lot number/letter (if shown)	Parts inquiries	Adds precision when multiple variants exist

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges can have small production changes that affect fit and wiring. Using the model and serial information from the serial plate helps us match the right part the first time and avoid returns.

A Kenmore gas range like model 79036673400 typically lasts 15 years with normal household use. Consistent cleaning, proper burner flame adjustment, and addressing ignition or temperature issues early help you get the full life out of the range (see the owner's manual).

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most ranges reach their expected service life when heat, gas flow, and airflow stay stable.

• Heavy daily cooking shortens life; light use extends it
• Grease buildup around burners and controls speeds wear
• Poor flame (too high or too low) stresses valves and igniters
• Overheating from blocked airflow can damage controls and wiring
• Ignition problems that are ignored can lead to repeated no-heat cycles

Maintenance that helps you reach 15 years

We recommend these habits for a Kenmore gas stove:

• Keep burner heads and ports clear; remove and clean spills promptly
• Verify burners light quickly and evenly; adjust the low flame if needed
• Use the self-clean feature only as directed; wipe out loose debris first
• Keep the oven door sealing well so heat stays in the cavity
• Replace failing wear items early (ignition and sensing parts)

Common parts that impact performance

Symptom	Often involved part	Example part for this model
Oven takes a long time to ignite or won’t heat	Oven burner igniter	Igniter 5303935066
Oven temperature swings or seems inaccurate	Oven temperature sensor	Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002
Surface burners click but don’t light reliably	Spark system component	Cooktop spark module 5304505695

Why it matters

A gas range can keep working for years, but small issues like weak ignition or inaccurate temperature control make cooking inconsistent and can accelerate wear on the gas valve, igniter, and control components.

On the Kenmore 79036673400 gas range, the most commonly replaced parts are ignition and burner components, oven temperature and lighting parts, and wear items like knobs and door seals. These parts take the most heat exposure and daily-use stress; they are also the first places we check when performance changes.

Most common replacement parts (gas range)

• Oven igniter: if the oven will not heat or takes a long time to light (see igniter 5303935066).
• Surface burner head: if a burner flame is uneven, weak, or the ports are clogged (see range surface burner head 316212400).
• Cooktop spark module: if clicking is constant or multiple burners will not spark (see cooktop spark module 5304505695).
• Oven temperature sensor: if baking temperatures are consistently off (see frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002).
• Oven light bulb and related parts: if the oven light is out (see range oven light bulb 316538904 and range oven light socket 316116400).
• Oven door seal: if heat leaks, cooking is uneven, or the door does not seal tightly (see range oven door seal 318053103).

Quick symptom-to-part guide

Symptom	Most likely part to check	What you will notice
Oven will not ignite or is slow to start	Igniter	No glow, weak glow, or delayed ignition
Burner flame is uneven or yellow	Surface burner head (and cleaning)	Flame lifts, sputters, or has dead spots
Constant clicking or no sparking	Cooktop spark module	Clicking continues after lighting or no spark at all
Oven temp seems wrong	Oven temperature sensor	Overbakes or underbakes repeatedly
Oven light does not work	Light bulb or light socket	Bulb is dark or flickers, socket looks heat-damaged

What to check before you buy a part

• Confirm the symptom: does it happen on one burner, all burners, bake only, or broil only?
• Clean first: clogged burner ports and spillovers can mimic part failure.
• Cut power before servicing: the manual calls out turning power off at the main source before replacing the oven light bulb.
• Use the correct bulb type: this model uses a 40-watt appliance bulb for the oven light.
• Avoid water around controls: excess moisture around knobs and the control area can cause damage.

Why it matters

Replacing the right part restores safe ignition, stable flame, and accurate oven temperature. It also prevents repeat failures caused by heat leaks (door seal) or electrical issues (spark module, igniter).

For model-specific diagrams and safe service steps, use the owner's manual.
