Kenmore Elite 79096633700 electric range Parts

On the Kenmore Elite electric range model 79096633700, the most common problems we see are uneven baking or incorrect oven temperature, a bake or broil function that stops heating, surface elements that will not heat properly, and self-clean door lock issues. Many of these symptoms trace back to a few high-wear heating and sensing parts.

Common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Oven temperature is off, food bakes unevenly: often the oven temperature sensor is drifting (see frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000).
• Bake will not heat or heats weakly: a failed bake element is common (see frigidaire range bake element 316505500).
• Broil will not heat: the broil element can burn out (see frigidaire range broil element 316203301).
• One surface burner will not heat or cycles oddly: the radiant surface element or its receptacle/wiring can be the cause.
• Door stays locked after self-clean or will not lock: the door lock motor/latch circuit is a frequent culprit.
• Burning smell, intermittent power, or melted wiring at the back: the terminal block connections can overheat (see kelvinator range terminal block 5304409888).

Quick checks we recommend first (safe, no disassembly)

• Confirm the range is on a proper 240-volt supply (a partial power loss can leave lights working but no heat).
• Try a simple control reset: turn off the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power.
• For baking complaints, test with an oven thermometer and compare at 350°F after preheat.
• Inspect the oven door seal for gaps or tears that leak heat.
• If self-clean was used recently, allow extra cool-down time; the lock releases only after the oven cools.

Symptom-to-part cheat sheet

Symptom	Most likely area	Common part to check
Oven runs hot/cold	Temperature sensing	Oven temperature sensor
No bake heat	Heating circuit	Bake element
No broil heat	Heating circuit	Broil element
Burner not heating	Surface element circuit	Radiant element, receptacle, wiring
Door lock problems	Lock/latch system	Door lock motor/latch

Why it matters

Catching a weak element, drifting sensor, or overheating terminal block early helps prevent longer preheat times, poor cooking results, nuisance error conditions, and avoidable wiring damage.

The Kenmore Elite electric range model 79096633700 is a 30-inch class freestanding range. For the exact exterior dimensions (height, width, depth) and the oven capacity for your specific configuration, use the dimension and installation sections in the 79096633700 owner’s manual and the 79096633700 installation guide.

What “size” can mean for model 79096633700

Customers usually mean one of these measurements:

• Overall width (fits a standard 30-inch opening)
• Overall height (affected by leveling legs)
• Overall depth (varies with handle and rear clearance)
• Oven capacity (cubic feet)
• Cutout and clearance requirements (space to walls and cabinets)

How to get the exact measurements (fast and accurate)

We recommend using the published specs first, then confirming with a tape measure:

• Check the dimension diagram in the installation instructions for width, height, and depth.
• Verify the required clearances (rear, sides, and above the cooktop) before moving or replacing cabinetry.
• Measure your range at the widest points: cooktop overhang for width, handle for depth.
• If the height is off, adjust the front leveling legs; the range leveling leg 5304509869 is the common hardware used to fine-tune height and stability.

Measurement you need	Best source	Why it’s the best source
Cutout/opening and clearances	Installation guide	Shows required fit and safety spacing
Exterior height, width, depth	Installation guide	Lists overall dimensions used for placement
Oven capacity and features	Owner’s manual	Confirms oven configuration and usage details

Why it matters

Using the published dimensions for 79096633700 prevents fit problems in a 30-inch space, avoids clearance issues with cabinets and countertops, and helps ensure the power cord and anti-tip bracket location are planned correctly.

On the Kenmore Elite electric range model 79096633700, the model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. On freestanding ranges like this, the label is typically found around the oven door opening, most often on the frame behind the storage or warmer drawer.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the oven door and check the front frame around the door opening.
• Pull out the warmer drawer (or storage drawer) and look on the frame behind the drawer.
• Check the lower front frame near the drawer rails.
• If you recently moved the range, check the back panel area for an additional label.

What the model number should look like

Your manual lists this series as 790-.9663* (the asterisk is a color code). For parts lookup, you’ll use the full model number format like 79096633700.

What you see on the label	What it means	What to use for parts
790-.9663*	Model series (color varies)	79096633700
Serial number	Unique unit ID	Not required for most parts

Why it matters

We use the exact model number to match the correct Kenmore Elite range parts, diagrams, and wiring information. Even small differences in a 790-series range can change which bake element, broil element, or oven temperature sensor fits.

If the label is hard to read

• Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth and dry it.
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in.
• Use the model number from your paperwork, then confirm it against the label.
