Kenmore Cooktop 790.42732404 (79042732404, 790 42732404) Parts

The Dual Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. This element features two heating zones, allowing for versatile cooking options by providing both high and low heat settings on the same burner. It ensures efficient and consistent heating, making it ideal for various cooking tasks. It contains a 9-inch, 1200-watt element and a 6-inch, 1300-watt element, combining for 2500 watts at 240 volts

Causes of a bad dual element can include electrical issues, wear and tear from regular use, or physical damage such as cracks or breaks in the heating element. These issues can lead to inconsistent heating or complete failure of the element.

Symptoms of a bad dual element include:

• Burner not heating up
• Inconsistent or uneven heating
• Element not switching between high and low heat
• Visible damage to the element

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

The Dual Element is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire electric ranges. This component is located on the cooktop surface and features two heating coils in one unit, one measuring 6 inches in diameter and the other 9 inches. It allows for precise control of cooking temperatures, accommodating various pot and pan sizes for more efficient cooking.

Causes of a bad dual element can include prolonged use that leads to wear and tear, electrical surges that can damage the heating element, or physical damage due to impact or mishandling. Over time, these issues can result in the element failing to heat properly or not working at all.

Symptoms of a bad dual element include:

• The element not heating up or only partially heating
• Inconsistent or fluctuating temperatures
• Visible damage, such as burns or breaks in the element
• The element not responding to temperature controls
• Sparking or unusual noises when the element is in use

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

The Surface Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. The small surface element is responsible for providing direct heat to the cookware placed on the corresponding burner of the electric cooktop or range. This element is typically located underneath the glass surface of the cooktop or range, ensuring efficient and even heat distribution for cooking.

Symptoms of a failing Surface Element include:

• The element not heating up at all
• Heating unevenly or only partially
• Noticeable damage or blistering on the element itself
• The control switch not regulating the temperature properly

Causes of a bad surface element can include a burnt-out coil, a break in the element's continuity, or problems with the connection points such as corrosion or loosening. Regular wear and tear from cooking can also lead to degradation over time.

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

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

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 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

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
