Top 20 Kenmore 79012 / 79014 / 79019 Gas Kitchen Range Questions & Answers

The F30 error code means the temperature sensor probe is open. First check the wiring, then check the probe. And if necessary, switch to a meat thermometer instead of a sensor probe. F31 is the error for a shorted temperature sensor probe.

i found this on the internet.. For a regular electric oven: Place a bag of ice directly on the melted plastic to chill it and make it more brittle. Then carefully, using a razor-blade scraper, lift off the puddle ofplastic. This procedure will not hurt an interior porcelain finish. For a regular gas oven: First turn off the gas.. plus you could go to this link if you need more help.. Cleaning melted plastic from oven Google Search

first you must wait until the safety door lock un lockes this will happen after the oven has cooled off

The burner is not level ,or you need to adjust the air flow on the end of the burner.

Entire oven inside will have to be dismantled, and individual parts cleaned with a soapy solution and rinsed and dried thoroughly .Show your appreciation by pressing the helpful button and follow me on fixya for more info and tips.

Are the heating elements receiving power? Are they good?

Maybe you should look to buy a manual for this appliance? Online are many free manuals for Kenmore appliances.

Sounds like the flame needs adjustment, they don't normally soot like that. There is usually an air to gas adjustment somewhere. In my area the gas company will do it free. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry, but the model number given in the question is either wrong or incomplete. Please check that model number. Usually, on Kenmore ranges, you can find the model # and serial # on either the left or right side of the storage or warmer drawer. Open the drawer and look on the frame of the range for a label. On a few ranges, the label is affixed to the frame between the oven door and the drawer. As an alternative, please post a clear picture of the control panel.

You should take it back or have it serviced under warranty. If not take the sides off and you can see the hinges and check the springs

Do the rangetop burners act OK, Brenda? It's just the oven that's causing a problem? Go back to the oven burner, right where you installed the new orifice. That orifice should fit inside an air mixture tube, probably stainless steel, leading to the burner itself. Right where the orifice fits into it will be some means of adjusting the air mixture - a sliding window of some sort, whether flat or round. You'll need to loosen the screw holding it in place (DO NOT remove the screw, only loosen it) and turn it so the air opening is larger. Right now you're getting too "rich" a mixture, too much propane & not enough air. Before you close it all up, try the oven again - see if your adjustment worked correctly. If not, adjust it again - this is a trial-and-error process, and it's different for every different altitude and climate. At some setting, you'll get a nice blue flame with very little orange in it. If you live in a very high humidity area, you'll have much more orange color than people who live where it's very dry, but the flame should at least be MOSTLY blue, and should never be sooty.

Are we talking about the top burners or inside the oven? In any event, it usually means taking the affected parts apart (or removing them) so you can clean them using a toothbrush or similar small brush, and then drying them before re-assembling or re-installing them..

The piezoelectric igniter does not require and external electrical source. A portable gas grill uses the same device and need no electricity supplied from a line. The ticking is the piezoelectric igniter's spark. The point is the electricity is NOT confirmed. It need to be properly reconnected to the electricity.

check lower broiler for clogs - spider webs etc

These burners can be a pain sometimes.... first of all did you let them air dry and shake them to make sure all of the water is out of them ... any water in them will prevent them from working correctly. Secondly, are you sure you seated them correctly on the burner receptical? Third... make sure you have spark from the igniter... there may be water or moisture on them grounding out the spark and preventing the spark to jump to the gas to make a flame. Good luck and I hope it works.

Most stove tops are removable for that very purpose.... after you remove the burners and the grills above the burners.... look for an edge and inch or inch and a half below the top... get something strong like a large screwdriver and place cloth over the tip to prevent scratching the stove top. there are VERY STRONG CLIPS holding the stove top to the stove, pry upward until the clips release. then slowly remove the spark igniter (TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOUR CELL TO REMEMBER HOW PUT BACK TOGETHER)

I wouldn't. The plastic will give off some very acrid, toxic fumes if you try to self-clean it. First use a damp sponge to wipe up the baking soda. After that, you might be able to turn on the oven just a little bit to soften the plastic residue, then carefully, use a putty knife to scrape up the plastic residue from the oven floor.
