Kenmore Elite 79099613701 electric range Parts

To reset a Kenmore Elite electric range model 79099613701, we recommend doing a control reset by clearing stored recipes and returning user adjustments to factory settings; this is the built-in reset method described in the 79099613701 owner's manual.

This reset clears stored recipes and also resets common control preferences.

• Make sure the oven is not in a cooking mode.
• Press and hold the recipe keypad (the manual describes holding it until the first beep) for 6 seconds.
• After the first beep, press the Start keypad once.
• Re-set the clock afterward if needed.
• If the display shows a door lock message, wait for the door to fully unlock before testing Bake.

Sometimes the issue is the Oven Lockout feature, not a control problem.

• Press and hold the Oven Lockout keypad for 3 seconds to toggle lockout.
• Watch for “Loc” or “DOOR LOCKED” indicators.
• Wait until the door finishes locking or unlocking.
• Confirm the Kitchen Timer and oven light still work (lockout does not disable them).

A factory-settings reset is the fastest way to fix odd keypad behavior, unexpected beeps, or settings that were changed accidentally. If heating problems continue after the reset, we focus next on common range parts like the temperature sensor, bake element, or control board.

Kenmore Elite dryers are most commonly 7.4 to 7.5 cubic feet in capacity; that size is typical for full-size Kenmore Elite vented electric dryers. For your Kenmore Elite 79099613701 appliance, note that this model is an electric range, so cubic-foot capacity specs in our documentation apply to the oven, not a dryer (see the 79099613701 owner’s manual).

A dryer’s “cubic feet” describes the drum volume. A range’s “cubic feet” describes the oven cavity volume.

• If you meant a Kenmore Elite dryer: expect 7.4 to 7.5 cu. ft. for many full-size models.
• If you meant this Kenmore Elite 79099613701 electric range: look up the oven capacity in the manual specs section.
• If you are shopping parts: always match parts to the model number on the appliance tag.

Capacity affects drying time, energy use, and whether bulky items (comforters, blankets) tumble freely. Using the correct capacity also helps you compare like-for-like when replacing a dryer.

If your question came up while measuring for a kitchen install, the installation guide for model 79099613701 lists key clearances and dimensions (see the 79099613701 installation guide).

Kenmore Elite is Kenmore’s premium appliance line, introduced in the late 1990s. For your specific Kenmore Elite electric range model 79099613701, the exact build year is determined from the serial number on the range’s serial plate, not from the model name alone; see the 79099613701 use and care guide for serial plate location.

Use the serial plate on the range, then decode the serial number to identify the manufacturing date.

• Locate the serial plate (often on the oven frame behind the door, or on a side frame area).
• Write down the full model number (79099613701) and the full serial number.
• Compare the serial format to the date-coding guidance in your documentation.
• If the label is worn, use a flashlight and take a close-up photo for clarity.
• Keep the information with your purchase records for future parts matching.

Most Kenmore ranges place the serial plate in one of these spots:

The manufacturing year helps us match the correct replacement parts and revisions (for example, control components, wiring, and glass cooktop parts) and it also helps when comparing features across Kenmore Elite generations.

When ordering parts for this Kenmore Elite range, always match by model number plus serial number. If you are troubleshooting heating issues, common model-matched parts include the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 and the bake element 318255201.

On the Kenmore Elite range model 79099613701, the model and serial number are printed on the serial plate located on the oven front frame behind the large oven door. Open the large oven door and look along the front frame area for the label; record both numbers for parts ordering and service.

Check these common label spots in this order:

• Open the large oven door and inspect the front frame (most common on this model)
• Look along the left and right front frame rails near the door gasket area
• Check the lower front frame area just inside the door opening
• If you still do not see it, slide out the storage drawer and look on the frame edges

The serial plate usually lists the key identifiers you need.

We use the exact model number (and often the serial or lot code) to match the correct Kenmore Elite electric range parts, wiring layout, and component versions so you get the right fit the first time.

• Write the model and serial number down exactly as shown
• Take a clear photo of the label for reference
• Use the model number when selecting parts like a bake element 318255201 or range oven temperature sensor 316217002
