Where to find model number on Kenmore Electric Range?
On Kenmore electric range model 79093009313, the model and serial number are printed on an identification plate on the oven frame. Open the storage drawer and look on the lower right oven frame for the serial plate (model and serial tag). See the 79093009313 owner's manual for the exact “serial plate location” diagram.
Check these common label locations in this order:
- Open the storage drawer; look at the lower right oven frame (most common for this model)
- Look along the front frame just behind the oven door opening
- Check the back panel near the power cord entry area (if accessible)
- If the label is dirty or faded, wipe gently with a damp cloth and dry immediately
The identification plate typically includes:
- Model number (example: 79093009313)
- Serial number
- Electrical rating information (volts/amps)
- Manufacturer information
| You need this for | What to use | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Ordering parts | Model number + serial number | Ensures the correct version of switches, elements, and controls |
| Troubleshooting | Model number | Matches the right wiring diagram and error code set |
| Service calls | Model + serial | Confirms production run and compatible replacements |
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore range parts and diagrams for your exact configuration. Even small differences within the 790 series can change which bake element, control board, or surface element switch fits.

What was the size of the Kenmore 79093009313 oven?
The Kenmore electric range model 79093009313 is a standard freestanding range; most units in this Kenmore 790 series are built to fit a 30-inch-wide range opening, with an oven cavity typically around 4 to 5 cubic feet. For the exact oven capacity and exterior dimensions for your unit, use the 79093009313 owner's manual.
When customers ask for oven size, it usually refers to one of these:
- Exterior width (fit in the cabinet cutout)
- Overall height (leveling legs and countertop height matter)
- Overall depth (door closed, and sometimes with handle)
- Oven capacity (cubic feet inside the oven)
- Rack size/usable interior space (varies by rack position)
These are common ranges for Kenmore-style freestanding electric ranges like model 79093009313:
| Measurement | Typical range | What affects it |
|---|---|---|
| Width | ~29 7/8 in to 30 in | Side panels and trim |
| Height | ~46 in to 47 in | Leveling legs, floor height |
| Depth (without handle) | ~25 in to 27 in | Rear panel and cord clearance |
| Oven capacity | ~4.0 to 5.3 cu ft | Oven liner design |
Kenmore 790 models often share a Use & Care Guide across multiple sub-models (the manual excerpt lists several 790.9300 and related models). That is why the 79093009313 owner's manual is the right place to confirm the exact capacity and dimensions for your specific configuration.
- Measure the opening width at the front and back of the cutout.
- Measure depth to the wall and allow space for the power cord.
- Confirm the oven vent location is not blocked (this model vents under the left rear surface element per the manual).
- If baking seems uneven after moving the range, re-check that the unit is level.

Can you replace the oven heating element in a Kenmore oven?
Yes. On Kenmore electric ranges like model 79093009313, we replace a failed oven heating element by shutting off power, removing the element’s mounting screws, pulling the element forward to access the wires, transferring the wires to the new element, then reinstalling and testing.
- Turn off power at the breaker or unplug the range; elements can stay hot after they look “off.”
- Let the oven fully cool before touching the bake or broil element.
- Do not line the oven bottom with aluminum foil; it can create a shock or fire risk.
- Use gloves and keep a firm grip on the element so the wires do not slip back through the rear wall.
- Confirm whether you are replacing the bake element (bottom) or broil element (top).
- Shut off electrical power.
- Remove oven racks for working room.
- Remove the element mounting screws (usually at the rear of the oven cavity).
- Gently pull the element a few inches forward.
- Disconnect the wires from the old element terminals (note positions).
- Connect wires to the new element, push connections fully on.
- Reinstall screws, reinstall racks, restore power, and test Bake.
For model 79093009313, the most common oven elements are:
| Oven function | What it does | Matching part anchor |
|---|---|---|
| Bake (bottom) | Primary heating for baking/roasting | Frigidaire range bake element 316225001 |
| Broil (top) | High heat from above for broiling | Frigidaire range broil element 316203200 |
A weak or broken heating element can cause long preheat times, uneven baking, or no heat at all. Replacing the correct bake or broil element restores normal oven temperature control and cooking performance.
For model-specific safety notes and operating guidance, follow the 79093009313 owner's manual.

How to reset Kenmore oven model 79093009313?
To reset the Kenmore electric range model 79093009313, turn the range off and restore power with a brief power reset (unplug or switch the breaker off, then back on). After power returns, reset the clock and reselect your oven function per the 79093009313 owner's manual.
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- Unplug the range, or switch the range breaker OFF.
- Wait 2 to 5 minutes to clear the control.
- Restore power (plug back in, or switch breaker ON).
- Set the clock, then try Bake or Broil again.
The manual notes the range should not be operated during a power failure; once power resumes, you should reset the clock and oven function. Use the clock-setting instructions in the 79093009313 owner's manual.
- Display is blank: confirm the breaker is fully reset (OFF then ON) and the outlet has power.
- Oven heats incorrectly or shuts off: a failing temperature sensor is a common cause; check the range oven temperature sensor 316233903.
- Broil or bake will not heat: inspect the heating element for visible damage; common replacements are the frigidaire range bake element 316225001 and frigidaire range broil element 316203200.
- Error code shows: use the Kenmore 790 range 4-digit error codes guide to match the code to likely causes.
| Reset method | What it fixes | When to try |
|---|---|---|
| Power reset (unplug/breaker) | Frozen keypad, glitchy display | First step for most issues |
| Clock and function reset | Post-outage behavior | After any power interruption |
| Part replacement | Heating or sensing failures | When symptoms repeat after reset |
A proper reset clears temporary control-board glitches and ensures the oven restarts safely after a power interruption. If a heating circuit part (bake element, broil element, temperature sensor) is failing, a reset helps confirm the problem is not just a one-time control error.
