Parts for Kenmore 790.78029300 (79078029300, 790 78029300): Backguard Parts

The Spark Module Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. This kit includes the spark module and necessary components for installation, responsible for providing the electrical spark needed to ignite the gas burners on the stove.

Common causes of a bad spark module include electrical faults, wear and tear from regular use, or damage from power surges.

Symptoms of a bad spark module include:

• Burners not igniting
• Weak or inconsistent sparks
• Clicking sound without burner ignition
• Only some burners igniting

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This main electronic control manages the appliance's functions and user interface, coordinating cycles and power to components for reliable operation and proper feature selection. What it does:

• Receives user input and sends commands to motors, valves, heaters, and sensors
• Controls cycle timing, diagnostics, and display/status indicators
• Helps start, stop, and change operating modes when buttons or touchpad are used
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as unresponsive controls, blank or erratic display, and failure to start cycles

• One controller assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service to avoid shock or damage
• Verify connectors and harness orientation before removing the old controller; label wires if needed
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid touching circuit traces or components

This timer assembly is the dishwasher/washer/range cycle control that advances and times appliance cycles, restoring proper sequencing for wash, dry, or bake operations when the original timer fails. What it does

• Rotates and switches internal contacts to advance appliance cycles and control timing.
• Replaces a worn or non-advancing timer that leaves cycles stuck or appliances unresponsive.
• Restores electrical switching for timed functions such as wash, rinse, spin, or bake intervals.
• Common symptom: appliance won't advance through cycles or stays in a single mode.

• One timer assembly.

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the control panel or console; handle control knobs and trim carefully.
• Verify connector orientation and secure wiring to the matching terminals; do not force connectors.
• After installation, restore power and run a test cycle to correct operation.

This trim is a decorative finish piece for select ranges and wall ovens. It covers gaps and raw edges for a clean look and helps keep adjacent panels properly seated when the original becomes cracked, bent, or missing.

• Provides a finished appearance by covering exposed edges or gaps
• Helps maintain alignment of nearby panels or glass
• Replace if cracked, warped, missing, or no longer seats securely
• Common symptoms include loose/rattling panels and exposed or sharp edges

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Wear gloves—edges can be sharp
• Remove old trim and transfer/reuse original screws or clips
• Align the new trim and secure with existing fasteners; confirm proper fit before reassembly

This transformer supplies the low-voltage power needed by an appliance's control system so the user interface and control board operate correctly. Replaces a worn or failed transformer to restore proper control voltage and reliable operation. What it does:

• Converts incoming line voltage to the lower control voltage used by the appliance's control board and display.
• Common symptom: control panel or display is dim, blank, or intermittently responsive.
• Common symptom: control functions (timers, cycles, lights) fail or reset unexpectedly.
• Helps stabilize control voltage to prevent erratic electronic behavior.

• One transformer

• Disconnect all power (unplug or shut off breaker) before accessing internal components.
• Observe proper wiring and polarity; match connections to the original transformer and secure terminal fasteners.
• Use appropriate mounting hardware and strain reliefs; avoid pinching or exposing wires.

This wiring harness is the OEM-style electrical connector assembly that routes power and signals between components for proper appliance operation. Replacing a damaged harness restores reliable electrical connections and function. What it does:

• Provides the bundled wires and connectors that link controls, motors and sensors
• Replaces frayed, burned or disconnected wiring that can cause intermittent operation or no power
• Restores secure, correct connections to help prevent arcing or short circuits
• Used when connectors are broken, pins are bent, or insulation is damaged

• Always disconnect power (unplug appliance or switch off breaker) before starting work
• Compare new harness to the old one and follow the appliance wiring diagram for routing and connections
• Use proper connector seating and secure harness with original clips or fasteners to avoid pinch points
• If you find melted connectors or significant damage, inspect associated components and replace as needed

This is a #8 screw, 0.500 inch long, used to secure panels and components in appliances. It provides a correct-fit fastener for repairs where the original #8 x 1/2" screw was required, restoring proper assembly and stability. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets and small components where a #8 x 1/2" screw is specified
• Holds parts securely to prevent rattling, gaps or loose panels
• Replaces worn, stripped or missing screws to restore proper fit
• Appropriate for common interior and exterior appliance mounting points

• Use the correct screwdriver (typically Phillips) and avoid over-tightening to prevent strip or damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance manufacturer safety instructions when accessing internal parts
