How do I reset my Kenmore electric range?
To reset your Kenmore electric range model 91195291991, turn the oven control to OFF, then disconnect power to the range for at least 30 seconds and restore power. This clears many control glitches and is the recommended reset step after an “F” error code in the 91195291991 owner's manual.
Reset steps (safe, standard method)
- Turn the OVEN CONTROL KNOB to OFF.
- Unplug the range, or switch OFF the range circuit breaker.
- Wait 30 seconds (60 seconds is fine if the display is still acting up).
- Restore power.
- Re-set the clock and re-enter any cooking settings.
If you see “F” plus a number (function error)
The control is telling you it detected a fault. After you reset power:
- Write down the exact code (example: F1, F3, etc.).
- If the code happened during self-clean, check the oven door latch: it must be moved to the right as far as it will go.
- Let the oven cool for 1 hour after a self-clean related fault, then retry.
- If the same code returns, service is typically needed.
Quick reference
| What you see | What it usually means | What to do first |
|---|---|---|
| Display flashes PF | Power failure occurred | Touch CLOCK, set time |
| Display shows F + number and beeps | Function error | Turn knob OFF, power reset 30 seconds |
| Oven shuts off after long use | Automatic 12-hour shutoff | Reactivate/deactivate in settings per manual |
Why it matters
A proper power reset clears the electronic control’s temporary memory and restores normal operation after a power interruption, keypad glitch, or certain heating and sensor faults.

Where is Kenmore's model number?
On Kenmore range model 91195291991, the model and serial number label is located on the front frame behind the storage drawer. Pull the storage drawer out to see the tag, then write the numbers down for parts lookup and service.
How to find it (quick steps)
- Turn the oven and all surface elements off.
- Let the range cool completely.
- Pull the storage drawer straight out; lift slightly if it stops on the rails.
- Look at the front frame area behind the drawer opening for the model/serial tag.
- Record both the model number and serial number exactly as shown.
What you should see on the tag
Most tags include these fields:
- Model number
- Serial number
- Electrical ratings (volts/amps)
- Sometimes a manufacturing code/date
Why it matters
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore parts and diagrams for your exact range configuration (for example, the correct bake element, oven sensor, or door gasket).
Common mix-ups (range vs. refrigerator)
| Appliance type | Typical location of model tag |
|---|---|
| Range (like 91195291991) | Front frame behind the storage drawer |
| Refrigerator | Inside fresh food section or behind a lower drawer (varies by model) |
For the exact location and drawer removal details for this range, follow the 91195291991 owner's manual.

How to use warm and hold?
On Kenmore range model 91195291991, Warm and Hold keeps cooked food warm after baking or until you are ready to serve. On many settings, it can turn on automatically when a timed bake finishes; you can also cancel it anytime by pressing STOP/CLEAR. See the exact key sequence in the 91195291991 owner's manual.
How to use Warm and Hold
Use these steps as a reliable starting point for this Kenmore electric range:
- Finish cooking (Bake or Timed Bake), then select Warm/Hold (or Keep Warm, depending on your control panel wording).
- Press START to begin the warm cycle.
- Keep the oven door closed as much as possible to hold temperature.
- To end Warm and Hold, press STOP/CLEAR.
- If Warm and Hold starts automatically after a timed bake, pressing STOP/CLEAR stops all oven functions.
What to expect (typical behavior)
Warm and Hold is designed for short-term holding, not cooking.
| Feature | What it does | What it is not for |
|---|---|---|
| Warm and Hold | Maintains a lower oven temperature to keep food warm | Reheating large portions from cold |
| Timed Bake + auto warm | Switches from baking to holding after time ends (on many models) | Long-term food storage |
| STOP/CLEAR | Cancels the current oven operation | A power reset |
Why it matters
Using Warm and Hold correctly helps prevent over-browning and drying out while you wait to serve. It also reduces unnecessary door openings, which can cause temperature swings and uneven results.
If Warm and Hold will not start
These quick checks solve most issues:
- Confirm the oven is not in a different mode (like Broil or Clean).
- Make sure you pressed START after selecting Warm/Hold.
- If the oven light is out and you need visibility, replace the bulb with the correct appliance bulb; the range oven light bulb 40A15 is a common replacement option for this model.
