Parts for Kenmore 790.41273001 (79041273001, 790 41273001): Control Panel Parts

This replacement switch restores reliable on/off control of a specific function in your cooking appliance. When the original switch wears out, components may fail to power on, stay on, or work only intermittently. What it does:

• Opens and closes an electrical circuit to control a targeted component
• Used in select models to switch features such as a light, fan, or heating element
• Symptoms of a failed switch include no response, intermittent operation, or a component that won't turn off
• Visible heat damage, arcing, or loose terminals at the switch may also indicate failure

• 1 switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Note wire locations or take a photo; transfer wires to the new switch one at a time
• Reuse existing mounting hardware or brackets as applicable
• Restore power and test the controlled function before final reassembly

NOTE: Must order (2) new mounting screws, part# 5303288565 (5303323134) when ordering this switch due to a change.

This cabinet insulation replaces a worn or damaged internal insulation panel to help reduce heat transfer, control cabinet temperature, and minimize noise for proper appliance operation. It restores the appliance's original thermal barrier where needed. What it does:

• Replaces torn, degraded, or missing cabinet insulation
• Helps maintain internal temperature and energy efficiency
• Reduces noise and vibration transmission from the appliance cavity
• Helps prevent condensation and moisture buildup around internal components

• One pre-cut cabinet insulation panel

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before servicing the appliance
• Access may require removing exterior or interior panels; use appropriate hand tools
• Wear gloves to protect hands from fibrous insulation material
• Follow OEM service instructions for secure placement and proper fit

This truss-head machine screw secures a switch to its mounting bracket or panel. Replacing a worn or missing screw restores a solid, aligned switch fit for reliable operation.

• Fastens the switch body to a bracket or chassis panel
• Helps keep the switch aligned for consistent actuation
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing mounting hardware
• Common symptoms: loose or wobbly switch, misalignment, rattling or vibration around the switch area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Verify thread size and length match the original hardware
• If multiple screws secure the switch, replace them in a consistent pattern to maintain alignment

This switch bushing fits the control shaft to stabilize and guide rotary switches, helping restore proper knob alignment and smooth operation. It prevents wobble and uneven contact that can cause intermittent control behavior. What it does:

• Centers and supports the control shaft to keep the switch and knob aligned
• Reduces wobble and lateral play that can make knobs feel loose or inconsistent
• Helps maintain reliable electrical contact by keeping the switch properly seated
• Commonly replaced when knobs are loose, the switch wobbles, or control engagement is uneven

• One switch bushing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Requires removing the control panel or knob to access the switch shaft; small hand tools typically needed
• Inspect the switch and knob for wear while replacing the bushing; replace worn components as needed

This wiring diagram is the factory schematic sheet that shows electrical connections and wire colors for the appliance to help with accurate troubleshooting and repairs. It makes identifying wiring, connectors, and circuits easier for service work. What it does:

• Provides the official wiring schematic, including wire colors, connector IDs and circuit routing for electrical diagnostics.
• Helps locate components and understand how circuits are supposed to be connected during repair or testing.
• Useful when replacing harnesses, tracing shorts, or verifying continuity and voltage paths.
• Reduces guesswork during service by showing factory-intended wiring layout and component interconnections.

• One printed wiring diagram/schematic sheet.

• This is a reference/document part only; no electrical connections are required to install the sheet.
• Always disconnect power to the appliance before performing electrical tests or repairs.
• Keep the diagram dry and protected; store with service documentation for future use.

This is the factory installation instructions sheet that explains safe setup steps and installer guidance for the appliance. It helps ensure correct placement and basic hookup before first use. What it does:
