Kenmore Pro 79079623700 range Parts

To reset a Kenmore gas range like model 79079623700, we reset power to the electronic controls and igniters by turning the range circuit breaker off, then back on. This clears many temporary control glitches and restores normal burner ignition and oven operation.

Quick reset steps (safe and effective)

• Turn all burner knobs to OFF.
• Turn OFF the range circuit breaker (or remove the range fuse) for 1 full minute.
• Turn the breaker back ON.
• Test one surface burner: push in and turn to LITE, then rotate off LITE after it ignites.
• If the oven was mid-cycle, re-set the clock and try Bake again.

For model-specific control and operating details, follow the 79079623700 owner's manual.

If the burners will not ignite after the reset

A reset fixes control lockups, but it will not fix a gas supply issue or a failed ignition component. Check these common causes:

• Gas shut-off valve is closed or partially closed.
• Power outage or weak power; igniters need electricity to spark.
• Burner cap is misaligned or ports are clogged.
• You hear clicking but no flame (gas not reaching burner).
• No clicking at all (possible power, switch, or control issue).

Manual lighting during a power outage

If electrical power is out, the manual allows lighting a surface burner with a match:

• Hold a lit match to the burner head.
• Rapidly turn the knob to Med.
• After it lights, set the flame as needed.

When a “reset” is really a power and gas shutoff

If you need to move the range for cleaning or servicing, the installation instructions call for shutting off both utilities:

Task	What to turn off	Why
Basic reset	Circuit breaker only	Clears electronic control glitches
Service/clean behind range	Breaker and manual gas shut-off valve	Prevents shock and gas leaks

For the full shutoff and moving procedure, use the 79079623700 installation guide.

Why it matters

Your 79079623700 uses electronic ignition and control circuitry; cycling power is the fastest way to clear a temporary fault without replacing parts. If symptoms continue, the issue is usually gas supply, burner setup, or an electrical component.

The Kenmore Pro range model 79079623700 is a 30-inch class dual fuel range, but the exact exterior dimensions and oven capacity vary by configuration. For the precise height, width, depth, and cutout clearances for your unit, use the specs listed in the 79079623700 installation guide.

What “size” usually means for this model

When customers ask for oven size, they typically mean one (or more) of these measurements:

• Overall range width (commonly 30 inches for this model class)
• Overall height (often adjustable with leveling legs)
• Overall depth (varies with handle and rear clearance)
• Oven cavity capacity (cubic feet, sometimes listed per oven on dual-oven designs)
• Required clearances to cabinets and walls

Where to find the exact dimensions

We recommend using the documentation for model 79079623700 because it lists the official measurements and required clearances for safe installation.

• Check the dimension diagram and clearance chart in the 79079623700 installation guide
• Confirm whether measurements include the door handle and any rear trim/backguard
• If your range is not sitting level, adjust the leveling legs; leveling affects final installed height

Quick reference: what to measure at home

Use a tape measure and record these three numbers:

Measurement	How to measure	Why it matters
Width	Left side panel to right side panel	Fit between cabinets
Height	Floor to cooktop surface (front and rear)	Counter alignment, leveling
Depth	Back of range to front (include handle if needed)	Door swing, walkway clearance

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents installation problems like cabinet interference, poor ventilation clearances, and uneven baking caused by a range that is not level. The installation specs also help you plan for electrical and gas connections.

A Kenmore Pro range like model 79079623700 typically lasts 15 years with normal use and basic maintenance. Keeping burners clean, avoiding overheating, and fixing small issues early (like weak heating or error codes) helps you reach that lifespan.

What affects lifespan most

• Heat stress: frequent high-heat broiling and self-clean cycles accelerate wear on wiring and controls.
• Power quality: loose connections or power surges can damage the control board.
• Door and latch wear: heavy use of self-clean can strain the door lock and latch.
• Cleaning habits: spills left to bake on can cause smoke, corrosion, and sensor issues.
• Ventilation: poor airflow around the range increases internal temperatures.

Parts that commonly determine “end of life” (and are replaceable)

If the range is otherwise in good shape, these repairs often restore normal operation:

• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 (fixes inaccurate oven temps)
• Kenmore elite range bake element 318254905 (fixes no-bake or slow preheat)
• Kenmore elite range broil element, 4,000-watt 318255851 (fixes weak or no broil)
• Frigidaire range oven control board 318601500 (fixes dead display, erratic heating, some error conditions)
• Terminal block 5304409888 (fixes power cord connection overheating or intermittent power)

Quick “repair vs. replace” guide

What you’re seeing	Most likely direction	Why
Oven temp is off but everything works	Repair	Sensor or calibration is usually straightforward
One oven function fails (bake or broil)	Repair	Heating elements are common wear items
Burning smell at power cord area	Repair soon	Terminal block issues can worsen quickly
Multiple functions failing at once	Diagnose	Could be control board, wiring, or power supply

Why it matters

Knowing the typical 15-year lifespan helps you decide whether to invest in a control board, heating element, or sensor repair now, or plan for replacement if the range is already near the end of its service life.

For model-specific care, cleaning, and operating guidance (including safe use of self-clean), follow the owner's manual.
