Kenmore 79094001400 electric range Parts

On Kenmore electric range model 79094001400, the model and serial number are printed on an identification (serial) plate located on the right side of the oven front frame inside the storage or warmer drawer compartment. Pull the drawer out and look along the right front frame. See the owner's manual.

How to find the model number label

• Turn the oven and all surface elements off.
• Let the range cool completely.
• Pull the storage (or warmer) drawer straight out as far as it will go.
• Look on the right side of the oven front frame (the vertical frame area behind the drawer front).
• If your model uses a lower cover panel instead of a drawer, open or remove that lower panel and check the same right-front frame area.
• Write down both the model number and serial number for parts lookup and service records.

What you should see on the plate

Most Kenmore 790-series plates list the model in a format like 790.9400* (the asterisk is a color code), plus a serial number.

Item on plate	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Matching correct parts diagrams and parts	790.9400XX or 79094001400
Serial number	Identifying production run details	Letters and numbers

Why it matters

Using the exact model number helps us match the correct Kenmore electric range parts (like a bake element, oven light bulb, or surface element components) so the replacement fits and works correctly.

Kenmore model numbers are easiest to read in two parts: the prefix (first 3 digits) identifies who built the appliance, and the remaining digits identify the specific design and feature set. For Kenmore range model 79094001400, the 790 prefix points to a Frigidaire-built range.

Where to find the model number on model 79094001400

On this Kenmore electric range, we look for the identification plate in the storage or warmer drawer area.

• Open the storage drawer (or lower cover panel on some versions)
• Look on the right side of the oven front frame
• Record both the model and serial number for parts matching
• Use the exact full model number when searching parts (all digits matter)

For the exact location illustration and product record section, use the owner's manual.

How the number is structured (what each part means)

Most Kenmore model numbers follow a consistent pattern:

• First 3 digits: manufacturer prefix (who made it)
• Middle digits: product platform and configuration (series, controls, options)
• Last digits/characters: revision, color, or production variation (varies by product line)

Quick example for your range

Example model	Prefix	What the prefix tells us	What the rest does
79094001400	790	Frigidaire-built Kenmore range	Identifies the exact version for correct parts

Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting

Using the full model number prevents ordering the wrong bake element, surface element parts, or control components. Even small digit changes can mean different wiring, switches, or oven sensors.

If you are troubleshooting an error display on a Kenmore 790-series range, we use the prefix to match the right error-code family; see Kenmore 790 self-cleaning range error codes.

If your Kenmore electric range model 79094001400 is not heating, the most common causes are a failed bake element, a failed broil element (some models use it to help preheat), a temperature-sensing problem, or a control issue. Start by confirming the range has full power and the oven is set correctly.

Quick checks first (no disassembly)

• Make sure the oven is not in a power-failure state; if power was interrupted, reset the clock and cooking function (the range should not be operated during a power failure). See the owner's manual.
• Verify the oven is set to BAKE (not just the timer) and the temperature is above room temp.
• Confirm the range has full power (electric ovens typically need 240V; a tripped breaker can leave you with lights but no heat).
• If the control is beeping and showing an F code, clear it with STOP/CLEAR and retry a bake cycle.
• If only one surface burner is not heating (cooktop issue), the problem is usually different than an oven no-heat.

Most likely parts to check on this model

On model 79094001400, these parts are common no-heat suspects:

• Bake element: cracks, blisters, or no glow during preheat; replace with frigidaire range bake element 316075103.
• Broil element: if it is open, preheat and broil performance can fail; replace with frigidaire range broil element 316203200.
• Temperature sensor/probe: if the oven temperature reading is wrong, the control may not heat correctly; check/replace probe 316490001.

What the symptoms usually mean

Symptom	Most common cause	What to do
Oven will not heat at all	No 240V supply, failed element, control fault	Check breakers; inspect/ohm test elements
Broil works, bake does not	Failed bake element	Replace bake element
Bake works, broil does not	Failed broil element	Replace broil element
Heats poorly or erratically	Sensor/probe issue, control issue	Test sensor; verify wiring connections

Why it matters

An oven that is not heating is often a simple electrical failure (element or power supply). Fixing the root cause restores safe, predictable temperatures and prevents undercooked food and repeated control errors.

To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79094001400, turn the range off at the circuit breaker (or unplug it if accessible) for about 1 minute, then restore power. After power returns, reset the clock and reselect your oven function as needed (per the owner's manual).

Quick reset steps (power cycle)

• Turn OFF the range circuit breaker (preferred) or unplug the cord.
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Turn ON the breaker (or plug the range back in).
• Set the clock again.
• Test Bake and Broil to confirm normal operation.

If the range reset was triggered by a power outage

The manual notes that you should not operate the range during a power failure; once power resumes, the range can begin operating again if it was left on. After power returns, always turn functions off, then reset the clock and oven function. See the owner's manual for the exact control steps.

When a reset will not fix the problem

A reset clears many control glitches, but it will not correct a failed heating component or switch. If the oven still will not heat after a reset, these parts are common checks for this model:

Symptom	Common cause	Example part on this model
Oven will not bake	Failed bake element	Frigidaire range bake element 316075103
Oven will not broil	Failed broil element	Frigidaire range broil element 316203200
Surface element not heating or intermittent	Failed control switch or receptacle	Oven switch 316436000, block 5303935058

Why it matters

Resetting by cutting power is the fastest safe way to recover from a control lockup after a surge or outage. If heat still does not return, focusing on the bake element, broil element, and surface controls helps you move from “reset” to a real fix.
