Kenmore Gas Range Parts Diagram & Model Identification Guide

Once you've got your model number, head to Sears PartsDirect or AppliancePartsPros, type it in, and they'll pull up an exploded view diagram broken out by section. Cooktop assembly, oven cavity, manifold, door hinges, all of it. It's completely free to look at. You only pay when you actually order something. RepairClinic does the same thing. Honestly I use these diagrams even when I already know what part I need, just to double-check the exact part number before I order. One more click to confirm saves a lot of return shipping hassle.

The prefix tells you who actually built the stove. 790 is Frigidaire, 362 or 911 is GE, 665 or 110 is Whirlpool, 795 is LG. This matters a ton because parts are often cross-listed under both brand names. An igniter for a Kenmore 790.74333310 is literally the same part as one for a Frigidaire FGGF3054MF. The Frigidaire version might actually be cheaper or in stock when the Kenmore-branded one isn't. Also helps when you're reading repair forums because most people discuss the manufacturer version of the model, not the Kenmore number.

That decimal is just how Kenmore formats their numbers. Everything before it is the manufacturer prefix code, everything after identifies the specific model variant, features, and color. So in 790.74333310, the 790 tells you Frigidaire made it, and the digits after the dot narrow it down to the exact configuration. Don't drop the decimal when you're searching for parts or diagrams. Some sites need the full number including the decimal to pull up the right results.

I usually advise against this. Manuals are often printed for an entire series of ranges and might list several similar model numbers that cover different configurations. The manual that came with your stove could technically apply to a dozen slightly different models. The only way to be absolutely sure you're looking at the right parts diagram is to use the specific number from the physical ID tag on your actual range. I've seen people order the wrong igniter three times in a row because they were working off a manual number instead of the sticker.

Check inside the control console first. There's often a tech sheet folded up in there, sometimes tucked into a plastic sleeve taped to the back wall or the underside of the control panel. That sheet has the model info plus a full wiring diagram. If there's no tech sheet, look at the back exterior of the range since there's sometimes a second sticker back there. Last resort: call a parts dealer with your serial number. If any part of the serial is readable, they can sometimes cross-reference it to find your exact model. Serial numbers are stamped deeper and tend to survive better than printed stickers.

Totally normal and actually super useful once you get it. Because Kenmore doesn't manufacture their own appliances, parts databases list the same range under multiple brand names. Your 790-series Kenmore gas range is basically a Frigidaire in disguise, so it shows up in both Kenmore and Frigidaire sections on parts sites. Search the Frigidaire equivalent model number and you'll find the exact same parts, sometimes with way better availability or lower prices. Just make sure you're matching the full model number and not just guessing based on the prefix alone.

Cross-reference the part number, not just the part name. A lot of igniters or bake elements look identical but have different mounting patterns or connector types. When you're on a parts site, enter your full model number first, then navigate to the specific section like cooktop or bake element. The site will show you only compatible parts for your exact model. If you're shopping on a marketplace instead, grab the OEM part number from the parts diagram first, then search for that specific number. That's the only reliable way to confirm compatibility.
