Kenmore 79093012311 electric range Parts

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.

Quick reset steps (most common)

• 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.

If the display is blank or the oven acts “stuck” after a power event

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.

Common parts related to “won’t heat” symptoms

Symptom after reset	Common suspect	Example part for this model

No bake heat	Bake element	Frigidaire range bake element 316225001
No broil heat	Broil element	Frigidaire range broil element 316203200

Why it matters

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.

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.

Typical Kenmore range widths

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)

How to confirm the correct width for your kitchen

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

Quick measurement checklist

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

Why it matters

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.
