Kenmore Elite 79079463601 dual-fuel range Parts

To reset your Kenmore Elite dual-fuel range model 79079463601, we recommend doing a power reset first: turn the range off, switch the circuit breaker off for 1 minute, then restore power and reset the clock and any oven settings using the steps in the 79079463601 owner's manual.

Quick reset options (most common)

• Power reset (best first step): breaker OFF 1 minute, then ON
• Control reset after power loss: reset the clock and reselect your bake/broil/convection function
• Stuck after Self-Clean: allow the oven to cool fully; then try a power reset
• Unresponsive keypad: power reset, then check for a locked control or a door latch issue

Step-by-step: power reset (recommended)

1. Turn all oven and surface burner controls to OFF.
2. Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or unplug if accessible).
3. Wait 60 seconds.
4. Restore power.
5. Reset the clock and re-enter any cooking settings.

What to check if it still will not reset

Symptom	What it usually points to	What we do next
Display is blank	No power to range	Check breaker, outlet, terminal connections
Oven will not start after reset	Control settings not restored	Set clock, select function, press Start
Door will not unlock	Latch system still engaged	Let it cool, then power reset
Oven temp seems wrong	Sensor or calibration issue	Test sensor, adjust temperature offset

Parts that commonly relate to “reset” problems

If the oven is powering up but heating is erratic or it will not regulate temperature after a reset, these model-matched parts are common suspects:

• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 (helps the control read oven temperature correctly)
• Kelvinator range terminal block 5304409888 (power connection point; issues here can cause intermittent power)

Why it matters

A reset clears many temporary control glitches (especially after a power interruption). On ignition models, our manual guidance is to turn the oven off during a power failure and, when power returns, reset the clock and oven function so the range operates normally again.

On the Kenmore Elite 79079463601 dual-fuel range, the oven door unlocks through the Oven Lockout feature: press and hold the LOCKOUT pad for 3 seconds to toggle lock/unlock. The display typically shows “Loc” and the door unlocks after the latch finishes cycling.

Quick unlock steps (most common)

• Make sure the oven is not running a Self-Clean cycle.
• Press and hold LOCKOUT for 3 seconds.
• Listen for a beep; watch for “Loc” to clear.
• Wait while “DOOR LOCKED” flashes; it stops flashing when the door is fully unlocked.
• Open the door gently once the latch motor stops.

If the door is locked after Self-Clean

During Self-Clean, the door stays locked until the oven cools down; forcing it can damage the automatic locking system.

• Let the oven cool completely (the range can stay very hot after cleaning).
• Press and hold LOCKOUT for 3 seconds to return to normal operation.
• If “DOOR LOCKED” keeps flashing, keep waiting; the latch unlocks only after the control senses safe temperature.

What you should see on the display

Situation	What you see	What to do
Lockout turned on	“Loc” and “DOOR LOCKED” flashing	Wait for latch to finish locking
Unlocking in progress	“DOOR LOCKED” flashing	Wait; do not pull the door
Fully unlocked	“Loc” cleared	Door opens normally

Why it matters

The lockout and self-clean latch protect you from heat and help prevent damage to the door locking mechanism. Pulling on the handle while the latch is engaged can bend hardware and create a repeat lock problem.

On the Kenmore Elite range model 79079463601, the model number is typically printed on a rating label you can see when you open the oven door (along the door frame) or when you pull out the lower drawer and look around the frame area. Use the label exactly as printed when ordering parts.

Common places to check on a Kenmore Elite range

Look in these spots first (in order):

• Oven door frame (door jamb): open the oven door and check the frame on the left or right side
• Storage or warming drawer area: pull the drawer out and look on the frame behind it
• Back of the range: check the rear panel near the venting area
• Side frame: sometimes the label is on a side panel edge
• Installation paperwork: the model number is often listed there too

Quick tips so you record the right number

Model labels can include extra characters; copying it exactly prevents wrong-part orders.

What to capture	Example for this range	Why it matters
Full model number	79079463601	Matches the correct parts list
Color code (if shown)	Often shown as a “* = color number” note	Helps match cosmetic parts
Serial number	Printed near the model number	Useful for service and date codes

Why it matters

We use the model number to match your Kenmore Elite dual-fuel range to the correct wiring layout, burner configuration, and oven components (like the temperature sensor, door latch, and oven light parts). That prevents ordering a part that looks similar but does not fit.

Where to confirm the label format

If your Kenmore Elite dual-fuel range model 79079463601 oven will not operate, the most common causes are a power supply problem, incorrect control settings, or a failed heating or sensing component. Start with the basics (power and settings), then move to the bake/broil circuit and temperature sensing.

Quick checks first (fastest fixes)

• Confirm the range has power; check the household circuit breakers.
• Make sure the power cord/plug is fully seated in the outlet.
• Verify the oven controls are set correctly for the cooking mode you want (Bake, Broil, Convection).
• If there was a power outage, reset the clock and reselect the oven function (the oven can behave unexpectedly after power returns).
• If the oven is in Self-Clean or the door is locked, allow the cycle to finish and the lock to release.

Parts that commonly cause “oven not working”

When power and settings are correct, these parts are frequent culprits:

Symptom	Most likely area	What to check next
No heat in Bake	Bake circuit	Inspect the bake element for visible damage; test for continuity if you have a meter
No heat in Broil	Broil circuit	Inspect the broil element; test for continuity
Heats but temperature is wrong	Temperature sensing	Test/replace the oven temperature sensor
Oven light out too	Power or light circuit	Check for a burned-out bulb or loose bulb

If you suspect a temperature sensing issue, the Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 is a model-matched replacement part to consider.

Safe troubleshooting steps we recommend

• Turn off power at the breaker before removing panels or testing wiring.
• Look for obvious damage: burned terminals, loose connectors, or pinched wires.
• If you use a multimeter, check continuity on heating elements and the sensor (with power disconnected).
• If wiring repairs are needed, use proper high-temperature connectors and insulation.

For control settings, error checks, and the “Before you call for service” checklist, use the 79079463601 owner’s manual.

Why it matters

An oven that will not run is often a simple power or settings issue, but a weak bake element, failed broil element, or drifting temperature sensor can also prevent proper heating and lead to undercooked food or long preheat times.
