Kenmore Wall Oven 790.40432800 (79040432800, 790 40432800) Parts

The Oven Temperature Probe is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens. This part monitors the oven's internal temperature, ensuring that it accurately reflects the set temperature on the oven's control. By measuring the heat inside the oven, the temperature probe helps in maintaining consistent cooking results, preventing undercooking or overcooking of food.  

Over time, the oven temperature probe can fail or become inaccurate due to wear and tear, exposure to extreme temperatures, or damage from cleaning and handling. This can lead to uneven cooking results, with food being overcooked or undercooked, despite setting the oven to the correct temperature.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Temperature Probe include:

• Oven not reaching the set temperature
• Oven temperature fluctuating more than usual
• Food not cooking evenly or within expected time frames
• Error codes displayed on the oven indicating a temperature sensor issue

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some 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 Terminal Block Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire appliances, typically used for connecting house power to various electrical appliances like ranges and dryers. This kit includes includes screws, nuts, and a unique terminal block. It plays a critical role in the power supply system by providing a reliable connection point for the appliance's main power cord, preventing loose connections and potential electrical hazards.

Symptoms of a bad Terminal Block Kit include:

• Signs of burning or melting at the connection points,
• Flickering power or intermittent operation of the appliance,
• A burning smell from the appliance area.

Causes of terminal block failure often involve loose connections that can lead to arcing and overheating, improper installation, or general wear and tear that degrades the integrity of the electrical contacts.

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

The Bake Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. It functions as the lower heating element responsible for baking. The element heats the bottom of the oven cavity, ensuring foods are cooked evenly from the bottom up by radiant heat transfer.

Symptoms of a bad lower baking element include:

• Uneven or poor bottom cooking of baked goods
• Foods not browning or crisping properly on the bottom
• The oven failing to reach or maintain set baking temperatures

Causes can be cracked or damaged insulators leading to short-circuiting or failure to glow red-hot. Overheating may also cause element coils to warp or break over time.

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

The Oven Light Socket is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire electric ranges and wall ovens. It houses the bulb that illuminates the interior of the oven cavity.

Symptoms of a bad light socket include:

• The oven light not turning on when activated  
• Flickering or intermittent bulb operation
• Signs of corrosion or oxidation around the bulb base
• Excessive heat emission from the light area

This OEM Frigidaire replacement part is also compatible with ranges and wall ovens from Electrolux, Gibson, and Kelvinator. 

The Switch Rocker is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. This switch is used to control various functions of the range, such as turning on heating elements or activating specific cooking modes. It provides a reliable and straightforward interface for managing the range's features.

You should replace the range switch rocker if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad switch rocker can include wear and tear from frequent use, exposure to high temperatures, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage from impacts or mishandling. A defective switch rocker can result in unresponsive controls, making it challenging to operate the range effectively.

Symptoms of a bad Range Switch Rocker include:

• The switch not responding when pressed
• Inconsistent or flickering performance of the heating elements
• Physical damage or looseness in the switch
• Intermittent operation or complete failure to activate the desired function

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