Kenmore Stove/oven controls don't work
If your Kenmore stove or oven controls are not working, start with the control knobs, especially the timer knob. A cracked or stripped timer knob can slip on the timer stem instead of turning it, making the control appear unresponsive. The thermostat knob is the next likely cause if you cannot adjust the oven temperature, followed by the selector knob used to choose bake, broil, or other functions. A damaged control knob can also slip on a switch or valve stem and prevent the related stove or oven control from operating. If the knobs are intact and properly engaging their stems, a power surge or outage may have temporarily affected the range, so turn off power to the Kenmore appliance for a few minutes and restore it. This simple reset may correct oven controls not working or stove controls not working after a power interruption. Inspect each knob for cracks, worn openings, or loose fit, then enter your model number to find the exact timer knob, thermostat knob, selector knob, or control knob replacement for your Kenmore range, stove, or oven.
