How to find model number on Kenmore Electric Range?
On a Kenmore electric range like model 79094179310, the model number is printed on a rating label on the appliance frame. The most common spots are the oven door frame (door jamb) or the frame behind the storage drawer or lower panel.
Where to look first (fastest checks)
- Open the oven door and check the frame around the opening (door jamb area).
- Pull out the storage drawer and look on the frame behind it.
- Remove the lower panel (if your range has one) and check the frame near the drawer opening.
- Check the back of the range near the rear access area.
What the label looks like
The rating label usually includes:
- Model number (example: 79094179310)
- Serial number
- Electrical rating (volts/amps)
- Brand name (Kenmore)
| Location | How to access it | Typical label placement |
|---|---|---|
| Oven door frame | Open oven door | Side trim or front frame |
| Behind storage drawer | Pull drawer fully out | Frame rail or side panel |
| Back of range | Carefully move range forward | Rear panel area |
Why it matters
We use the exact model number to match the correct parts and diagrams for your range, especially for items like a surface element control switch, oven temperature sensor, or bake element where similar Kenmore models can use different wiring and mounting.
Helpful tip while you are there
If you need to move the range to read the label on the back, follow the safety steps in the 79094179310 installation guide, including verifying the range is secured with the anti-tip bracket.

How do I reset my Kenmore electric range?
To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79094179310, we recommend doing a full power reset: turn the range off, cut power at the breaker for 1 to 5 minutes, then restore power and set the clock. This clears many control glitches and false error codes.
Quick reset steps (safe and effective)
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- If the oven is running, press Cancel/Off.
- Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or remove the fuse).
- Wait 1 to 5 minutes (use 5 minutes if the display was frozen).
- Turn the breaker ON.
- Re-set the clock and test Bake and a surface element.
If the range still will not reset
These checks address the most common causes after a power reset.
- Confirm the range has the correct power supply (a tripped breaker can look like a “dead” control).
- If the display comes on but the oven will not heat, check the oven temperature sensor and bake circuit.
- If a surface element stays on high or will not turn on, the surface element control switch is often the issue.
- If the range is stuck in a lock condition after self-clean, the door lock motor and switch assembly can be involved.
Common symptoms and what they usually point to
| Symptom after reset | Most likely area to check | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven temperature is erratic or shows an error | Oven temperature sensor, wiring | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| One burner will not regulate heat | Infinite switch for that burner | Frigidaire range surface element control switch 316436001 |
| Door stays locked after clean cycle | Door lock motor/switch | Range oven door lock motor and switch assembly 5304528973 |
Why it matters
A breaker reset restores the electronic oven control to a known “startup” state. If a heating or locking problem returns immediately, that points to a component issue (sensor, switch, door lock) rather than a one-time control glitch.
Reference for power and installation checks
If you suspect a power supply or wiring issue (especially after moving the range), follow the grounding and terminal block guidance in the 79094179310 installation guide.

What was the size of the Kenmore 79094179310 oven?
The Kenmore electric range model 79094179310 has a 5.4 cu. ft. oven capacity. For physical fit, it installs as a standard 30-inch class range with specific cabinet clearances listed in the 79094179310 installation guide.
What “oven size” can mean
Customers use “size” in a few different ways; here is how to match the spec to your need:
- Oven capacity (cu. ft.): overall cooking volume
- Overall range width: how it fits between cabinets (commonly 30 inches for this style)
- Clearances: safe spacing to cabinets and walls
- Interior dimensions: rack width, depth, and height (varies by rack position)
Key fit and clearance specs (installation)
The installation instructions for model 79094179310 call out these placement rules:
- 30-inch minimum from cooktop to the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet
- 24-inch minimum if the cabinet bottom is properly protected
- 0-inch minimum rear clearance (rear of range to wall) when all other requirements are met
- Avoid storage above surface units; use a hood that projects at least 5 inches beyond cabinet bottoms when needed
Quick reference table
| Spec you need | Value for 79094179310 | Best place to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Oven capacity | 5.4 cu. ft. | 79094179310 owner's manual |
| Installation clearances | 30 in, 24 in (protected), 0 in rear | 79094179310 installation guide |
Why it matters
Capacity helps you compare cooking space for large roasts and multiple racks; clearance and cutout sizing prevent cabinet heat damage and help the range sit level and secure with the anti-tip bracket.
