Can I assume that you determined that the bottom burner flame is burning properly? To do this, remove the oven bottom insert. The flames should have approximately 1" of blue cone and should burn with no yellowing tip, if on natural gas. (A small yellow tip on the end of the outer cone is normal with most LP gas.) The flmaes should not lift off the burner ports. If the flame is lifting, gradually reduce the air shutter until the flame stabilizes. Go to the following website for your particular manual. http://www.hammerwall.com/Manuals/Kenmore/Description/362.75585890/Kenmore%20Free%20Standing%20Gas%20Range%20Owners%20Manual/L0522834/
If your oven is 20 years old the temperature sensor system might no longer be accurate, if you have access to a temperature measuring device that can confirm that the oven is not reaching 350 then run it up and check that its not just your indicator light system. Some oven burners have air control and yours may have accumulated oven soil over the years. If your burner. Is behind a short wall like mine is, use a mirror and torch to check. A clean can bring things back to standard. Flame heat is from a good mix of. Gas and Air...
You said,Smoke is coming out of the back of my gas Kenmore oven. Oven is clean -
no spills/debris. Ran clean cycle and broiler did not smoke. Warmer
drawer at bottom, so nothing spilled there. Soon as you turn it on,
downstairs is full of smoke. Sometimes after preheat goes off, smoke
clears and its fine. But I'm afraid to use it because last time I saw a
flame inside.
If your afraid to use it, do not hesitate to call service. Nobody wants a fire! Huuum
greg, sounds like your needle valve is not seated. Remove the bottom drawer. Look back to the base of the burner where the shutter air adjustment is. Right under there is the valve which should have a 1/2 inch or 7/16 nut. (I Forgot what size). Turn this nut clockwise until the flame is adjusted to the correct size, should be a nice blue flame. The nut maybe hard to turn because you are seating the needle. Catriver..post back
