Kenmore 79092809012 electric range Parts

To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79092809012, turn the range off, then disconnect power at the circuit breaker (or unplug it) for about 1 minute and restore power. After power returns, reset the clock and any oven settings per the 79092809012 owner's manual.

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• Turn the oven OFF/Cancel.
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or unplug the cord).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Switch the breaker ON (or plug back in).
• Set the clock, then reselect your bake, broil, or convection function.

A power reset clears many temporary control glitches, but it will not repair a failed part.

If the display works but the oven does not heat, we focus on the most common heating and sensing parts for this model.

• Confirm Bake and Broil both energize (one may fail while the other still works).
• If bake is dead, inspect the frigidaire range bake element 316505500 for visible damage (blistering, cracks, burn spots).
• If broil is dead, inspect the frigidaire range broil element 316203301.
• If temperatures are inaccurate or you get sensor-related errors, check the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.
• If the range lost power recently, verify the house breaker is fully reset (OFF then ON), not left half-tripped.

A proper reset restores safe, predictable operation after a power interruption. The manual also notes that if power resumes while the range was left on, it can begin operating again, so turning everything off before restoring power helps prevent surprises.

The oven capacity (cubic feet) for Kenmore electric range model 79092809012 is found in the specifications section of the 79092809012 owner’s manual. If you need the number right away, you can calculate usable oven volume by measuring the interior cavity and converting cubic inches to cubic feet.

Measure the usable oven cavity (not the door opening) in inches, then convert.

• Measure width: left interior wall to right interior wall
• Measure height: oven floor to the top of the cavity (not the control panel area)
• Measure depth: back wall to the inside surface of the closed door
• Multiply: W x H x D to get cubic inches
• Divide by 1,728 to get cubic feet

• Remove the oven racks so your tape measure sits flat.
• Measure to the inside of the closed door, not the front frame.
• Don’t include protrusions you cannot cook past (fan cover, heat shield, rack supports).
• Keep the oven vent clear during use; the manual shows its location and airflow guidance.

Oven capacity helps you confirm whether large cookware (roasters, pizza stones, full-size sheet pans) will fit and helps when comparing accessories such as an oven rack or planning multi-rack baking.

To replace the oven control board on your Kenmore electric range model 79092809012, we disconnect power, access the control area, label and transfer each wire connector one at a time, then reinstall the board and restore power. Use the wiring diagram and panel removal steps in the 79092809012 owner's manual.

• Turn off the range at the circuit breaker (240V); confirm the cooktop and oven are off.
• Let the range cool completely.
• Use cut-resistant gloves; sheet-metal edges behind the back panel are sharp.
• Take clear photos of every connector before moving anything.
• If you see heat damage at the power connection, replace the terminal block before powering back up.

1. Shut off power at the breaker.
2. Access the control area: remove the rear access cover behind the control panel (screws along the back).
3. Document wiring: photo the board and connectors; label harness plugs with tape.
4. Move wires one at a time from the old board to the new board (this prevents mix-ups).
5. Reconnect any ribbon cable: fully seat it in the connector, then lock the retainer.
6. Reinstall the rear cover, restore power, then set the clock and test Bake and Broil.

For model 79092809012, the electronic oven control is the oven control board. If you are ordering, match by model number and connector layout; the correct part listing is frigidaire range oven control board 316462807.

The control board routes power to the bake and broil circuits and reads the oven temperature sensor. Correct wire placement and a fully seated ribbon connector prevent error codes, no-heat problems, and intermittent operation.

On a Kenmore 79092809012 electric range, an oven that “stops working” is usually caused by a power interruption (tripped breaker), a failed heating component (bake or broil), or a control-related problem such as a bad temperature sensor or electronic control. Start with power and basic function checks first.

• Verify the range has full power (both legs of 240V); reset the double breaker fully OFF then ON.
• If the outage happened recently, turn the range OFF; when power returns, reset the clock and reselect the oven function (the oven can resume operation after power returns if it was left on).
• Confirm the oven is not in a self-clean lockout; do not force the door open during or right after self-clean.
• Test Bake and Broil separately; one mode failing often points to a single element.
• If the display is dead but cooktop works (or vice versa), suspect a control or wiring issue.

• Frigidaire range bake element 316505500 (no bake heat)
• Frigidaire range broil element 316203301 (no broil heat)
• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 (wrong temp, overheating, error codes)
• Terminal connections and wiring at the rear (burned connections can stop the oven)

An electric oven needs steady power plus accurate temperature feedback to heat safely and evenly. A weak element can look like a “dead oven,” and a drifting sensor can cause undercooking, overheating, or self-clean lockouts.

Use the 79092809012 owner's manual for “Before you call” checks, operating steps after a power failure, and self-clean door lock cautions. For fault displays, we also use the Kenmore 790 self-cleaning range error codes guide to match the code to the most likely failed part.

On Kenmore electric range model 79092809012, the model and serial number are printed on the serial plate attached to the lower right oven frame. The quickest way to see it is to open the warmer drawer or storage drawer and look along the lower right side of the oven frame; see the 79092809012 owner's manual.

Check these common label locations in this order:

• Open the warmer drawer (if your range has one) and look at the lower right oven frame
• Open the storage drawer (if your range has one) and look at the lower right oven frame
• Look for a metal or white identification plate that lists Model and Serial
• Wipe the plate gently with a damp cloth if it is greasy or dusty

Most Kenmore ranges use a serial plate that includes both the model and serial number.

Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong bake element, oven control board, or oven temperature sensor. Even small model variations can change wiring, control panels, and surface element switch compatibility.

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (no spaces added)
• Take a clear photo of the plate before ordering parts
• Keep the model and serial number with your purchase records

On a Kenmore 79092809012 electric range, the “fuse” people mean is usually a thermal fuse or high-limit safety device, and it’s typically mounted on the back of the range on the oven’s wiring area, often near where the bake or broil circuits connect. Use the 79092809012 owner’s manual for the safest access and panel-removal guidance.

• Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box; the range uses 240 volts.
• Confirm the oven is fully cool.
• If the display is dead, also check the home breaker (a tripped double-pole breaker can look “half on”).
• If the oven heats poorly or throws an error, check for an overheating cause (blocked vent, failed fan, bad sensor).
• Do not run the oven during a power failure; restore power, then reset clock and functions.

Most Kenmore electric ranges place safety cutouts in one of these spots:

• Shut off power at the breaker/fuse box.
• Pull the range forward carefully (protect the floor).
• Remove the rear access panel screws; lift the panel off.
• Look for a small, flat safety device with two wires (often in the oven circuit area).
• If you find heat-related symptoms, also inspect the oven vent under the left side of the control panel and keep it unblocked.

A blown thermal fuse or tripped high-limit device is usually a symptom of overheating or an electrical issue. Fixing the root cause helps prevent repeat failures and protects the oven control board, wiring harness, and heating elements.
