Model 790.966124400

I believe the timer unit is what surged then shot out sparks and caught fire and smoked. Fortunately, our glass back splash kept fire damage to the back of the oven. I have unplugged range until I find out more about this timer / issue.

Purchased new from Sears late 2007.

I had this Kenmore Range going on 4 years. Sears repaired it 12 times for the same thing. The burners would come on with out the range being turn on. It is a big fire hasord. We leave the house we have to turn the main breaker off so it does not come on. The first year we had it Sears work on it 4 times. When we bought it they told us that if it needed repaired 3 time the first year they would replace it. That was a big lie.Last time they work on it the part lasted 94 days and they would not cover it because it was over 90 days.The parts they put on it was rebuilt parts not new. The range model number is. 790 99012102 If theyare using rebuilt parts for this model that tell me that there is a big problem with these ranges.
