Kenmore 79046762901 electric range Parts

For a Kenmore stove like model 79046762901, the model and serial tag is typically on the oven front frame behind the oven door or behind the storage drawer. Once you find it, copy the full model number exactly; that is the fastest way to match the right parts and instructions.

Where to look on Kenmore ranges

Check these common locations in this order:

• Oven front frame: open the oven door and look along the frame edge
• Behind the storage drawer: pull the bottom drawer out and look on the frame
• Back panel: sometimes the tag is on the rear of the range
• Under the cooktop: on some coil-top models, lift the cooktop and look near the sides

What the label looks like (and what to write down)

The tag usually lists several identifiers. Use this quick guide:

Label item	What it’s used for	Example for this page
Model number	Correct part fit and diagrams	79046762901
Serial number	Service history and production details	(varies)
Lot number/letter	Helps narrow revisions	(varies)

Why Kenmore model numbers matter

Kenmore ranges often share similar styling across multiple series, but parts like a bake element, surface element receptacle, or control panel can differ by revision. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong component and saves time during troubleshooting.

Next steps after you find the model number

• Compare the number on the tag to the format shown in the 79046762901 owner’s manual
• Use the exact model number when selecting parts (especially heating and control parts)
• If you’re diagnosing a display fault or beeping, use the Kenmore 790 range 4-digit error codes reference to narrow the failure

On the Kenmore 79046762901 electric range, an oven that “stops working” is usually caused by a power supply problem, a control fault (often shown as an F-code with beeping), or a failed heating or temperature-sensing component that prevents the oven from heating or operating normally. See the 79046762901 owner's manual for model-specific troubleshooting steps.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the range has power; check the house breaker(s) for a trip.
• If the control is beeping and showing an F-code, press STOP to clear it.
• Reprogram the oven settings; if the fault returns, write down the code.
• If the issue happened during a power outage, turn the oven OFF and restart after power is stable.
• If self-clean was started and the door was left open, close the door and reset the cycle.

Common part-related causes on electric ranges

These are the most frequent failures when the display works but the oven will not heat or heats erratically:

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to check next
Oven won’t heat at all	Failed bake circuit or safety cutoff	Inspect wiring and test components with power disconnected
Oven temperature is inaccurate	Sensor out of range	Consider replacing the range oven temperature sensor 5304504897
Oven overheats or shuts down	High-limit protection opening	Check the frigidaire range high-limit thermostat 318578506
Control beeps and shows F-code	Electronic control detected a fault	Clear with STOP, reprogram, then record code if it returns

Why it matters

When the electronic control detects a fault, it can disable heating to prevent unsafe operation. Likewise, a bad temperature sensor can make the oven underheat or overheat, and a high-limit thermostat can open if temperatures get too high.

When to stop and get service

• Breaker trips repeatedly after resetting
• You smell burning insulation or see arcing at the terminal connections
• The same F-code returns immediately after clearing and reprogramming

Kenmore model 79046762901 is a Kenmore-branded electric range built for Sears; in the 790 model family, the actual manufacturer is Frigidaire (Electrolux/Frigidaire platform), which is why many replacement parts and service procedures align with Frigidaire-style designs. Confirm the exact model series details in the 79046762901 owner’s manual.

How to confirm the manufacturer on your specific range

Use the model and serial tag on the appliance to verify the series and production information.

• Open the oven door and look around the frame area for the serial plate
• Match the full model number exactly: 79046762901
• Record the serial number and purchase date for service and parts matching
• Use the manual’s “Product Record” section to keep the information together

Why the “790” prefix matters

Kenmore uses different model prefixes that typically map to different manufacturing partners. The 790 prefix is widely associated with Frigidaire-built ranges, and the manual for this unit shows the 790.4676 model family.

What you see	What it usually indicates	Why it helps
Model starts with 790	Frigidaire-built Kenmore range	Parts layouts and diagnostics often follow Frigidaire conventions
Model starts with other prefixes	Different manufacturer	Parts and wiring can differ significantly

Parts and service tip for Kenmore 79046762901

When ordering parts or troubleshooting, always use the full model number and the exact part ID from our diagrams.

• For oven temperature accuracy issues, the range oven temperature sensor 5304504897 is a common component to check
• For a dark oven interior, the range oven light bulb 316538904 is a typical wear item
• For surface burner heating problems on coil elements, inspect the receptacle block connections and wiring condition

Why it matters

Knowing who built the range helps you use the right wiring diagrams, error-code logic, and part-matching approach; it reduces wrong-part returns and speeds up troubleshooting.
