Kenmore 79048853901 wall oven/microwave combo Parts

The microwave capacity (cubic feet) for Kenmore model 79048853901 is listed in the product specifications section of the 79048853901 use and care guide. Capacity is the interior cavity volume; it helps you confirm what cookware will fit and compare similar wall oven/microwave combos.

Where to find the cubic feet rating

Check these common locations in the documentation for model 79048853901:

• “Specifications” or “Product dimensions and specifications”
• “Microwave/Wall Oven Features” section
• A “Before operating the microwave” or “Microwave oven important information” section
• The model/serial plate area (sometimes lists electrical ratings; specs are usually in the guide)

What “cubic feet” tells you (and what it does not)

Cubic feet describes the cavity volume, but real-world fit depends on the turntable and interior shape.

• Use cubic feet to compare overall cavity size between models
• Use turntable diameter to judge plate and casserole fit
• Use interior height to judge covered dishes and mug clearance
• Use door opening size to judge whether wide dishes can be loaded easily

Spec you’re checking	What it helps with	Why it matters
Capacity (cu. ft.)	Overall cavity size	Quick comparison across models
Turntable size	Plate and casserole fit	Prevents rubbing and stalling
Interior height	Covered bowls, steamers	Avoids splatter and arcing

Why it matters

Knowing the correct cubic feet rating for 79048853901 helps you choose microwave-safe cookware that fits, avoid turntable interference, and make apples-to-apples comparisons when replacing a combo unit.

For the Kenmore 79048853901 wall oven/microwave combo, the most common problems we see are oven heating issues (wrong temperature or no heat), microwave not heating, door or latch faults, and control or power-supply interruptions. Many of these trace to a sensor, safety fuse, door switch, or control board.

Common symptoms and likely causes

• Oven temperature is off or fluctuates: failing temperature sensor or wiring connection (see range oven temperature sensor 5304504897).
• Oven will not heat: failed bake element, open thermal limiter, or control not sending power (see crosley range bake element 318254906).
• Microwave runs but does not heat: high-voltage component failure such as magnetron, rectifier, or transformer (see wall oven microwave magnetron 5304521745).
• Microwave will not start or stops when door moves: worn door interlock switch or latch parts (see microwave door interlock switch 5304493153).
• Unit is dead or loses power: blown thermal fuse, loose terminal block connection, or control board issue (see wall oven microwave thermal fuse, 20-amp 5304440780 and terminal block 5304409888).

Quick checks we recommend first

1. Reset power: turn the breaker off for 1 minute, then back on.
2. Confirm settings: verify the correct cooking mode and temperature.
3. Look for obvious door issues: door fully closes, latch engages, no binding.
4. Check the oven light area: a broken lens or socket can indicate heat damage or vibration issues (see range oven light lens 5304524341).
5. If testing electrically: use the wiring diagram and procedures in the owner's manual.

Symptom-to-part guide

Symptom	Most common part to check	What it affects
Oven bakes unevenly or temp is wrong	Temperature sensor	Temperature feedback to control
No bake heat	Bake element	Primary oven heat source
Microwave no heat	Magnetron or rectifier	Microwave heating circuit
Microwave won’t start	Door interlock switch	Safety start circuit
Completely dead	Thermal fuse or terminal block	Power and overheat protection

Why it matters

This model combines high heat and high voltage systems; a small failure (like a weak sensor or door switch) can cause no-heat, error behavior, or repeated shutdowns. Correct diagnosis helps you replace the right Kenmore part the first time.
