Kenmore 91146564011 30" electric slide-in range Parts

To reset a Kenmore electric range like model 91146564011, we recommend doing a power reset: turn the range off at the breaker (or unplug it), wait 60 seconds, then restore power. This clears many control glitches and restores normal heating.

Quick reset steps (safe and effective)

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or unplug the cord if accessible).
• Wait 60 seconds (up to 5 minutes for stubborn control lockups).
• Turn the breaker ON (or plug back in).
• Set the clock, then test Bake and a surface element.

If the reset does not fix it

A reset helps with temporary electronic issues; if the problem returns, a component may be failing.

• No heat in oven: the oven temperature sensor or a heating circuit issue is common.
• Self-clean door won’t unlock: the door lock motor can stick after a clean cycle.
• One burner not heating: the surface element or its control switch may be the cause.

Common parts related to “won’t heat” symptoms

Symptom	What to check first	Example part for this model
Oven temperature seems wrong	Oven temperature sensor	Sensor WB21X5301
Burner stays cold	Coil surface element	Range coil surface element, 8-in WB03T10167
Burner won’t regulate heat	Surface element control switch	Range surface element control switch WB23K5027

Why it matters

A proper power reset is the fastest way to clear a stuck control or false error condition without replacing parts. If symptoms persist after resetting, testing the heating and control components helps you avoid replacing the wrong part.

On a Kenmore 91146564011 electric range, an oven that stops working is most often caused by a power supply problem (tripped double breaker, loose terminal block connection) or a failed oven component such as the temperature sensor, wiring harness, or an electronic control issue. Use the 91146564011 installation guide for model-specific electrical and installation checks.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Reset the double-pole range breaker fully OFF, then back ON.
• Confirm the outlet and cord are secure; check for heat damage at the terminal block.
• If the cooktop works but the oven does not, focus on oven-only circuits (sensor, harness, controls).
• Make sure the oven is not set to delay start or a special mode that prevents heating.
• If the door is locked after self-clean, let the range cool completely and try again.

Common causes and what to test

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do next
No bake and no broil	Power supply or burned connection	Inspect terminal block and wiring; verify 240V supply (power off before opening panels)
Heats erratically, shuts off, or temperature is way off	Oven temperature sensor out of range	Test and replace the sensor WB21X5301 if readings are out of spec
Intermittent operation	Loose or damaged wiring	Inspect and repair connections; replace damaged harness if needed
Stuck in lockout after self-clean	Door lock motor issue	Check lock mechanism movement and wiring; service if it will not unlock

Safe troubleshooting steps

1. Turn off power at the breaker before removing any panels.
2. Look for scorched wires, melted insulation, or loose spade connectors.
3. Use a meter to test components and continuity; follow the how to use a multimeter to test electrical parts video.

Why it matters

A failing connection or overheated wire can cause repeated shutdowns and can damage other components like the control and harness. Fixing the root cause early restores reliable heating and helps prevent cascading electrical failures.

For your Kenmore electric range model 91146564011, the model number is printed on a rating label attached to the range cabinet. We most often see it in the oven door jamb area, behind the oven door, or on the frame behind the storage drawer.

Most common label locations

• Open the oven door and check the door jamb (the frame around the opening)
• Pull out the bottom storage drawer and look on the frame behind it
• Check the back panel near the vent area
• Look along the side frame behind the lower front panel area

Quick steps to find it fast

1. Turn the oven light on and use a flashlight.
2. Open the oven door; scan the left and right door jamb edges.
3. If you do not see it, slide out the bottom drawer and check the frame.
4. Write down the full model number exactly as shown (all digits).

What the label usually looks like

What you see on the tag	What it means	Why we need it
Model (example: 91146564011)	Your exact range model	Ensures correct parts fit
Serial number	Your unit’s production ID	Helps with service history
Electrical ratings	Voltage/amps info	Helps with troubleshooting

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges can look similar across multiple model numbers, but parts like a surface element control switch, oven door switch, or temperature sensor can vary. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct diagrams and replacement parts the first time.

If your Kenmore 91146564011 electric oven is not getting hot, the most common causes are a failed heating circuit (bake or broil element), a bad oven temperature sensor, or a wiring/control issue. Start with power supply checks, then test the sensor and heating components.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the range has full 240V power; a tripped double breaker can leave the oven cold.
• Verify you selected Bake (not Delay, Self-clean, or Control lock).
• Inspect bake and broil elements for blisters, cracks, or burned spots.
• Check for a locked door condition after self-clean.
• Look for overheated terminals or a burnt smell at the rear connection area.

Most likely causes and what to do

Symptom	Likely cause	Next step
No heat in Bake and Broil	Power supply, wiring, or control	Verify breaker and wiring connections; then test outputs
Broil works, Bake doesn’t	Failed bake element or wiring	Test bake element continuity; inspect terminals
Heats but temperature is wrong	Temperature sensor out of range	Test sensor resistance; replace if failed

Test the oven temperature sensor

The sensor tells the control how hot the oven is; if it reads wrong, the oven can underheat or not heat.

• Shut off power at the breaker.
• Unplug the sensor connector and measure resistance with a multimeter.
• Most range sensors read about 1,080 ohms at room temperature.
• Replace the sensor if it is open, shorted, or far out of range.

For the correct replacement, match the part to sensor WB21X5301.

Why it matters

A “no heat” oven is usually an open circuit (element, sensor, or connection). Testing in order prevents replacing good parts and restores safe, consistent baking.
