Kenmore Range 790.78402012 (79078402012, 790 78402012) Parts

The Gas Oven Ignitor is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire gas ranges and ovens. It uses electricity to generate a spark that ignites the burner flames for heating. To check if the ignitor is the issue, look inside the broiler oven while the oven is turned on. If the element is glowing a bright red, it's getting power. If not, it may not be getting enough power to ignite the gas and should be replaced.

Symptoms of a bad gas ignitor can include:

• The oven or burners failing to ignite or stay lit consistently  
• Diminishing heating performance over time
• Burners that intermittently ignite or go out

Causes stem from normal wear with extended use. The ignitor's ability to spark diminishes as parts degrade. No spark means no gas ignition.

This OEM replacement part is compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore brands.

The Oven Probe is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire electric ranges. As an essential safety device, it monitors internal temperatures accurately during baking and roasting cycles.  This probe measures approximately 8 inches.

Causes of a bad oven probe can include normal wear from continual high heat usage. Exposure to splatters or spills may damage fragile connection wires or compromise sensor accuracy over many years.

Symptoms of a bad oven probe are:

• Inability to selectcooking modes like bake, roast or broil requiring temperature control  
• Faulty or inconsistent temperature readings during heating
• Error messages regarding probe malfunctions
• Premature heating element burnouts without regulating feedback

This part is also compatible with Electrolux and select Kenmore models.

The Light Bulb (40W) is an OEM part for Frigidaire appliances. Specifically designed to fit and function with Frigidaire models, this 40-watt bulb illuminates the interior of your oven, making it easier to check on the progress of your baking or roasting without opening the oven door.

Over time, oven light bulbs can burn out or be damaged from high temperatures or accidental bumps during cleaning or cooking. A functioning light bulb is crucial for the optimal operation of your oven, enhancing visibility and improving your cooking experience.

Symptoms of a bad Light Bulb include:

• The oven interior remains dark when the light switch is engaged.
• Flickering light, indicating a loose connection or nearing the end of the bulb's lifespan.
• Completely non-functional light, which can hinder your ability to monitor cooking progress.

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Oven broil Igniter is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens and ranges. This component is responsible for igniting the gas in the oven burner, allowing the oven to heat up. It works by drawing electrical current through the igniter filament until it becomes hot enough to ignite the gas, providing the flame necessary for cooking.

Common causes for an Oven Igniter to fail include a burnt-out filament, a break in the igniter's ceramic base, or a malfunction within the igniter's electrical system.  

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

• Oven not starting or heating up
