Where is the model number on my Kenmore electric stove?
On Kenmore electric range model 79095322301, the model and serial number are printed on an identification plate located on the right side of the oven front frame inside the storage drawer or warmer drawer compartment. Open the drawer to view the plate; see the 79095322301 use and care guide.
How to find it (quick steps)
- Turn the range off and let it cool.
- Pull the storage drawer or warmer drawer fully open.
- Look at the right side of the oven front frame (the front frame behind the drawer opening).
- Find the identification plate with the model and serial number.
- Write down both numbers for parts lookup and service.
Common places people check first (and why they miss it)
Many ranges have labels on the back or door frame, but for this Kenmore 79095322301 the serial plate is in the drawer compartment, so it is easy to overlook if the drawer stays closed.
| Location | What you will see | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Storage/warmer drawer compartment (right side of oven front frame) | Model and serial plate | Parts matching, service records |
| Control panel area | Buttons and overlay only | Operating the range (not ID) |
| Back of range | Power cord/terminal area | Electrical connection checks |
Why it matters
We use the exact model number to match the correct parts and diagrams for your range. That prevents ordering a similar-looking part that does not fit, such as a surface element control switch or oven temperature sensor.

How long do Kenmore electric stoves last?
Most Kenmore electric ranges like model 79095322301 last 13 to 15 years with normal use and basic care. Regular cleaning, avoiding overheating, and fixing small issues early helps the oven, surface elements, and controls reach that typical lifespan; see the 79095322301 owner's manual for care guidance.
What affects lifespan the most
- Heat stress: frequent high-heat baking/broiling and long preheats wear elements faster
- Spills and boilovers: liquids can damage switches, wiring, and indicator lights
- Power quality: surges and loose connections can shorten control and wiring life
- Cleaning habits: harsh abrasives can damage finishes and knobs over time
- Timely repairs: replacing a failed part early prevents secondary damage
Typical lifespan by major range components
| Component | Typical service life | Common symptom when failing |
|---|---|---|
| Bake element | 8 to 12 years | Oven not heating or heats unevenly |
| Broil element | 8 to 12 years | No broil or weak broil |
| Surface element switch | 7 to 12 years | Burner stuck on, won’t heat, or cycles wrong |
| Oven temperature sensor | 8 to 15 years | Oven temperature inaccurate |
Maintenance that helps your range reach 13 to 15 years
- Clean control knobs and the control panel with mild soap and water; avoid abrasives
- Wipe spills promptly, especially sugary spills that can bake onto surfaces
- Keep oven racks clean so they slide smoothly and do not damage the cavity finish
- If a burner or oven heat seems inconsistent, troubleshoot and repair before it worsens
Why it matters
A range that is cleaned correctly and repaired promptly usually avoids expensive failures like damaged wiring, control issues, or repeated element burnouts. That is the difference between replacing a single part and replacing the whole appliance.

How do I reset my Kenmore electric range?
To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79095322301, turn the range off and cycle power at the circuit breaker (or unplug it) for about 1 minute, then restore power and reset the clock. This clears many control glitches after a power interruption; see the 79095322301 owner's manual.
Reset steps (safe, basic reset)
- Turn all surface burner knobs to OFF.
- Turn the oven OFF (cancel any bake, broil, or self-clean cycle).
- Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or unplug the power cord).
- Wait about 60 seconds.
- Restore power.
- Set the time of day; after power is interrupted, the display commonly flashes 12:00.
What to do if the display comes back but the oven still will not heat
If the control resets but heating does not return, focus on the most common electric-range causes:
- A failed bake element or broil element
- A temperature sensing problem
- A loose or burned power connection at the terminal block
- A control or wiring issue
Common parts related to “no heat” symptoms
| Symptom | What it often points to | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven will not bake | Open/failed bake element | Frigidaire range bake element 316202200 |
| Oven will not broil | Open/failed broil element | Frigidaire range broil element 316203301 |
| Temps are inaccurate | Sensor out of range | Oven probe 316233903 |
| Range dead or intermittent | Power connection issue | Terminal block 5304409888 |
Why it matters
A breaker reset restores the electronic oven control after a power failure and helps prevent the range from resuming an unintended cooking mode when power returns. Resetting the clock also restores normal timed functions.

What causes a Kenmore oven to stop working?
On a Kenmore electric range model 79095322301, the oven can stop working because the range lost power (outlet, cord, terminal block, or house breaker), the electronic control detected a fault and shut down, or a failed heating or sensing component prevents the oven from heating even though the display works. See the 79095322301 owner's manual for the model-specific “Before You Call” checks.
Most common causes (and what you’ll notice)
- Power supply problem: display is blank, no beeps, oven and sometimes cooktop are dead.
- Control fault condition: the control beeps and shows an error; pressing STOP/CLEAR may stop the beeping.
- Failed bake or broil heating circuit: display works, but oven will not heat or heats poorly.
- Temperature sensing issue: oven heats erratically, runs too hot/cold, or triggers a fault.
- Wiring connection issue: intermittent operation, burning smell near the back, or random shutdowns.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Confirm power: check house lights and the range breaker; a power outage can stop operation.
- Check the cord and outlet fit: make sure the plug is seated tightly.
- Clear a fault: press STOP/CLEAR, then reprogram the oven if the display indicates a fault.
- Do not operate during a power failure: turn the range off; when power returns, reset the clock and oven function.
Parts that commonly solve “no power” or “won’t heat” symptoms
| Symptom | Likely area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Dead range or burning/loose power connection | Power connection at rear | Terminal block 5304409888 |
| Oven won’t heat, broil is weak or dead | Broil heating circuit | Frigidaire range broil element 316203301 |
| Oven won’t bake or bakes unevenly | Bake heating circuit | Frigidaire range bake element 316202200 |
| Temperature problems or related faults | Sensor circuit | Oven probe 316233903 |
Why it matters
An oven that “stops working” can mean no electrical power (a safety and wiring concern) or a heating/sensing failure (the oven runs but cannot reach temperature). Identifying which symptom you have prevents replacing the wrong part.
