Official Kenmore Elite gas range parts

Top replacement parts for your Kenmore Elite gas range

• Oven temperature sensor probe. The oven temperature sensor probe detects the actual temperature in the oven cavity. Replace it if it's not detecting the temperature properly, in which case the oven doesn't maintain the temperature you set. A complete failure, in which the sensor probe doesn't detect any temperature at all, usually triggers an error code on the electronic oven control board.
• Electronic oven control board. The electronic oven control (EOC) board governs the timing and execution of oven functions such as baking and broiling. It's usually in the control console and often has a digital clock on the front of its housing. Replace the electronic control board if it doesn't light up when it's supplied with electrical power, if it doesn't operate properly or doesn't properly send current to the oven igniter.
• Surface burner spark igniter switch. The igniter switch is an electrical switch on the stem of the gas surface burner control valve. This switch completes a circuit to the surface burner spark module, causing the burner igniters to spark when the burner switch is turned to the Lite position. Replace the burner igniter switch if the burners don't spark when you turn the burner control knob to the Lite position or if igniters spark constantly even when the burner knobs are in the Off position.

Cleaning grates and surface burners on your Kenmore Elite gas range

• Cool burners and cooktop. Allow the burners and cooktop to cool before you start cleaning.
• Soak grates and burner caps overnight. Fill your kitchen sink with about 2 gallons of water then add 3 tablespoons of grate cleaner to the water. Stir the water until the granules completely dissolve. This stuff is strong, so wear gloves and avoid getting it on your skin. If you do, rinse it off. Soak grates and burner caps overnight.
• Clean softened residue. The next day, put on some rubber gloves and drain the sink. Using a scrub brush or abrasive pad, clean softened soil and residue from the grates and burner caps and rinse everything thoroughly. Wipe the grates clean with a towel.
• Clean the burner heads. First, wipe the burner head with a damp cloth. Remove food and residue between the burner head slots using a toothbrush. To remove stubborn residue, use a paper clip or sewing needle. A small-gauge wire works also. Make sure that you clean the ignition port so the burner ignites properly. Wipe the burner head with a damp cloth after cleaning the slots and the ignition port.
• Allow all burner heads to dry and then reassemble the range.
