How to reset Kenmore oven model 79093012311?
To reset a Kenmore electric range model 79093012311, turn the oven off, then cycle power at the home circuit breaker (or remove the fuse) for about 1 minute and restore power. After power returns, reset the clock and any oven function settings per the 79093012311 use and care guide.
- Turn all surface elements and the oven to OFF.
- At your electrical panel, switch the range breaker OFF (or remove the range fuse).
- Wait about 60 seconds.
- Switch the breaker ON (or reinstall the fuse).
- Set the clock, then test Bake and Broil.
The manual notes that if power fails, you should turn the oven off; when power resumes, you need to reset the clock and oven function. Use these checks after the reset:
- Confirm the range has power (lights, display, or surface elements respond).
- If the oven heats but the display is erratic, inspect the power connection and wiring.
- If the oven will not heat after reset, common causes include a failed sensor, control, or heating element.
| Symptom after reset | Common suspect | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven temperature is inaccurate | Oven temperature sensor | Range oven temperature sensor 316233903 |
| No bake heat | Bake element | Frigidaire range bake element 316225001 |
| No broil heat | Broil element | Frigidaire range broil element 316203200 |
A breaker reset clears many temporary electronic control glitches and restores normal operation after a power interruption. Resetting the clock and oven functions ensures the control board runs the correct timing and heating programs.
If you are resetting because an error code is showing, use our Kenmore 790 self-cleaning range error codes guide to match the code to the most likely cause and repair.

What is the width of a Kenmore range?
Most Kenmore electric ranges, including the Kenmore 79093012311, are built to fit a 30-inch-wide range opening; the installation instructions for this model also reference 30-inch minimum clearances above the cooking surface, which aligns with the standard 30-inch range size. For exact cabinet cutout and spacing, use the 79093012311 installation guide.
Most Kenmore freestanding and slide-in ranges fall into these common width categories:
- 30 inches (most common for electric ranges)
- 24 inches (apartment or compact kitchens)
- 36 inches (pro-style or oversized ranges)
We recommend confirming width two ways: the appliance footprint and the cabinet opening.
- Measure the cabinet cutout width (left-to-right opening)
- Measure the range body width at the widest point (often the cooktop edge)
- Check required side and rear clearances before sliding the range in
- Verify the anti-tip bracket location and fit during installation
- Use the model-specific dimensions and clearances in the 79093012311 installation guide
| What to measure | Where to measure | What you typically see |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet opening width | Between cabinets | About 30 inches for standard installs |
| Range width | Widest exterior point | About 30 inches for most Kenmore ranges |
| Overhead clearance | Cooktop to cabinet bottom | 30 inches minimum unless protected |
Range width affects more than fit. It also impacts safe clearances to cabinets, proper leveling, and whether the range can be installed without rubbing cabinets or pinching the power cord.

Who makes Kenmore 79093012311?
Kenmore model 79093012311 is made for Kenmore by Frigidaire (Electrolux/Frigidaire family). The key identifier is the 790 model prefix, which is commonly used on Kenmore ranges built by Frigidaire, and the Use & Care Guide for this model family lists 790.9301 as the model series in the documentation.
We recommend verifying the full model number on the appliance ID tag, then matching it to the documentation.
- Check the model/serial tag (commonly on the oven frame behind the storage drawer, or around the door frame)
- Confirm the model reads 79093012311 (all digits)
- Match it to the model family shown in the 79093012311 use & care manual
- Use the model number when ordering parts like a control switch, bake element, or temperature sensor
Kenmore is a brand name; different manufacturers built different Kenmore model series. Knowing the builder helps you choose the right style of parts and follow the right diagnostic steps.
| What you’re checking | What it tells you | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Model prefix (first 3 digits) | Who built the Kenmore unit | Points you to the correct parts family |
| Full model number | Exact configuration | Prevents ordering the wrong control or element |
| Manual model series | Supported model group | Confirms you are using the right instructions |
If your range shows an F or E code, the manual’s “Before You Call” section typically has reset steps (often pressing STOP/CLEAR and power-cycling). For deeper code definitions by Kenmore 790-series, use our Kenmore 790 self-cleaning range error codes reference.
- Surface element control switch (burner won’t regulate heat)
- Oven temperature sensor (baking temperature inaccurate)
- Bake or broil element (oven won’t heat properly)
- Control overlay or control board (keypad or display issues)
