Kenmore Elite 79046629504 dual-fuel range Parts

For the Kenmore Elite 79046629504 range, the most reliable “reset” is a power reset: turn the range’s breaker OFF for 1 to 5 minutes, then turn it back ON and set the clock. If the control is locked, turn off the lockout so the oven can operate normally (see the 79046629504 owner's manual).

Quick reset options (use the one that matches your symptom)

• Blank display or frozen keypad: power reset at the breaker (OFF 1 to 5 minutes).
• Display shows “LOC” or door won’t open: cancel Oven Lockout (press and hold the lockout pad for 3 seconds).
• Oven heats but temperature seems off: use the oven temperature adjustment feature (calibration).
• After a timed cooking cycle: return all controls to OFF.

Oven lockout reset (when “LOC” is on)

The Oven Lockout feature prevents the oven from being turned on and can lock the door. To restore normal operation:

• Press and hold the Oven Lockout pad for 3 seconds.
• Wait for the door to fully unlock and for “LOC” to clear.

What to check after a reset

What you see	What it usually means	What to do next
No power at all	Supply issue	Check breaker, cord/terminal connections (power off first)
“LOC”	Control lockout active	Cancel lockout (3-second hold)
Oven temp inaccurate	Sensor or calibration issue	Calibrate; if still off, test/replace sensor

Why it matters

A reset clears a temporary control glitch, but it also helps you separate a simple lockout or power interruption from a real failure such as a bad oven temperature sensor. If the oven repeatedly overheats or underheats after resets, the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 is a common part to test.

On the Kenmore Elite dual-fuel range model 79046629504, the model and serial number plate is typically on the oven front frame behind the oven door; on some versions it can be on the drawer side frame. Use the exact model number when ordering parts or scheduling service. See the 79046629504 owner's manual for the serial plate illustration and details.

How to find it quickly

• Turn the range OFF and let it cool.
• Open the oven door fully.
• Look along the front frame (the metal frame around the oven opening), usually near the left or right side.
• If you do not see it, pull out the bottom drawer and check the drawer side frame.
• Write down both the model and serial numbers (and any lot number/letter shown).

What the plate tells you (and why it matters)

The serial plate is more than an ID tag; it can include key information used for correct parts and setup.

Item on plate	What it’s used for
Model number	Matches diagrams and ensures part compatibility
Serial number	Helps identify production run and revisions
Fuel/rating info	Confirms gas type and burner ratings for the range

Tips for using the model number when buying parts

• Match the full model number exactly: 79046629504.
• Use the model number first, then confirm the part by name and diagram location.
• If you are troubleshooting baking temperature issues, the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 is a common part associated with oven temperature regulation on ranges like this.

Why it matters

Kenmore Elite ranges often have multiple versions that look similar. Using the correct model and serial information prevents ordering the wrong control panel, oven sensor, igniter, or gasket.

On the Kenmore Elite 79046629504 dual-fuel range, the oven door typically unlocks automatically after a Self-Clean cycle once the oven cools down. If the door is still locked, cancel the cycle, let the oven cool completely, and avoid forcing the door because that can damage the door lock system.

Quick steps to unlock the door

• Press CANCEL/OFF to stop any active Self-Clean or timed cycle.
• Wait for the oven to cool fully; the lock releases only after temperatures drop.
• Check the display for a LOCKED indicator; it should turn off when the latch retracts.
• Gently try the handle again after cooling; do not pull hard.
• If the door remains locked after cooling, cycle power at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power.

What to do if it is stuck after Self-Clean

During Self-Clean, the range uses an automatic door locking system and the door can stay locked until the oven is safe. Forcing it can damage the latch or lock motor.

Common causes

What you notice	Likely cause	What usually fixes it
Door locked right after Self-Clean ends	Oven still too hot	Wait longer for full cool-down
Door locked and controls act odd	Control did not reset clean cycle	Press CANCEL/OFF, then power reset
Door locked even when cold	Door lock mechanism issue	Inspect/replace door lock assembly

If you suspect a failed lock mechanism on this model, the door lock motor/assembly is commonly serviced as a unit (example part listing: motor 318261230).

Why it matters

A locked door is a safety feature designed to prevent burns during high-heat cleaning. Waiting for cool-down and avoiding force protects the latch, hinges, and control system from expensive damage.
