Kenmore 22-96833 Smoothtop Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Smoothtop element not glowing or cycling off too soon
- Oven failing to reach set temperature
- Convection fan not turning in convection bake
- Steam-clean cycle not heating
The Kenmore 22-96833 is a front-control electric range with a ceramic glass smoothtop and a 5.6 cu ft oven that offers true convection and a steam-clean cycle. It runs on a 240-volt circuit and slides into a standard range opening.
Kenmore does not tell you who built a given range, and for this one the maker is not verified. The model-number prefix on the label identifies the builder, so we read that and match parts to it. We copy the model and serial from the label before we order a part.
On a glass-top electric range we test each surface element and its switch, then the bake and broil elements, the oven sensor and the control. For convection, we confirm the fan turns and the airflow is even. We also look at the door seal, since heat loss there makes an oven run long. A written price comes first, and our repair carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Error codes this model can show
The smoothtop element on my 22-96833 will not glow. What now?
We test the element for continuity and the infinite switch or control that feeds it. A failed element or switch is often a straightforward replacement once we confirm it.
How does a steam-clean cycle differ from a full self-clean?
It runs a shorter, lower-heat cycle with water. If it does not heat, we check the bake element, the sensor and the board rather than the water step.
Can a cracked glass cooktop be repaired?
Cracked glass is replaced, not patched. We confirm the part for your exact model first, give you the price in writing, and then schedule the swap.
