Kenmore Elite 79041053101 electric range Parts

Yes. Kenmore Elite is Kenmore’s higher-end line; it’s positioned above standard Kenmore models and typically includes more premium features, finishes, and performance-focused upgrades for appliances like the Kenmore Elite electric range model 79041053101.

What “high end” usually means for Kenmore Elite

Kenmore Elite models commonly focus on upgrades you notice in daily cooking and cleaning:

• More precise electronic oven controls and cooking modes
• Convection cooking on some models (fan-assisted baking/roasting)
• Higher-output surface elements and more flexible burner/element sizes
• More premium exterior styling and control panel layouts
• Extra convenience features (indicator lights, specialty settings, etc.)

For operating features and functions specific to model 79041053101, we recommend checking the 79041053101 installation guide for the post-installation function checks and the related Use and Care information it references.

Kenmore Elite vs Kenmore PRO (quick comparison)

Here’s the simplest way to think about the lineup:

Line	Typical positioning	What you’re paying for
Kenmore	Mainstream	Core features and value
Kenmore Elite	High end	More features, stronger performance, upgraded design
Kenmore PRO	Pro-style	Pro look and heavier-duty feature sets

Why it matters when buying parts or troubleshooting

Knowing the product tier helps because higher-end ranges often use more specialized components (controls, sensors, convection parts). If your oven temperature seems off, for example, a common repair path is testing the sensor circuit and replacing the sensor when needed.

• If baking temperatures are inconsistent, check for calibration/settings first
• If preheat is slow or temps swing widely, inspect the sensor and wiring
• If convection performance is uneven, check the fan operation and blade condition
• If a surface element does not heat, confirm the element and control are working

If you’re diagnosing temperature accuracy on this model, the range oven temperature sensor 5304504897 is a key part used to monitor oven temperature.

On the Kenmore Elite electric range model 79041053101, the model and serial number are printed on the serial plate located on the oven front frame behind the oven door on some versions, or behind the drawer on others. The installation guide shows the serial plate location.

Where to look on the range

Check these spots in this order (they are the most common for this model family):

• Open the oven door and look along the front frame/door jamb area for a serial plate.
• Pull out the bottom drawer (warming drawer or storage drawer) and look behind the drawer opening.
• If you recently installed the range, confirm it is fully seated in the cutout; the label is on the front frame, not the cooktop glass.

What the label looks like (and what to write down)

The serial plate typically includes several identifiers. Record them exactly as shown:

• Model number (for example, 79041053101)
• Serial number
• Lot number or letter (often used for parts lookups)

Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting

Using the exact model number helps us match the correct wiring, control components, and oven sensors for your specific Kenmore Elite range.

Your Kenmore Elite model 79041053101 is an electric range, not a washer; washer tub capacity (cubic feet) does not apply to this appliance. For the correct specs for your range and installation clearances, use the 79041053101 installation guide and the parts list for this model.

Quick checks to confirm you have the right appliance

We use the model number to match the correct manual, installation dimensions, and replacement parts.

• Confirm the rating plate shows 79041053101
• Verify it is a 30-inch slide-in electric range (cooktop and oven in one unit)
• If you were looking for washer capacity, re-check the model number on the washer (it will be different)
• Use the correct document for the job: installation clearances vs. operating instructions

What we can confirm for model 79041053101 (range installation dimensions)

The installation guide for this Kenmore Elite range lists common cabinet and cutout dimensions used for a proper fit.

Measurement type	Typical value shown in the installation instructions
Minimum opening width	30 in
Cutout width range	30 1/16 in to 31 5/16 in
Cutout depth range	22 7/8 in min to 23 1/4 in max
Range height (adjustable)	35 7/8 in to 36 5/8 in

Why it matters

Washer “cubic feet” is used to size laundry loads and match washer parts. For a range like 79041053101, the important sizing details are cutout width, depth, and clearances so the cooktop is supported correctly and the oven bakes level.

Ordering the right parts for this model

If you are troubleshooting heating or temperature issues on this Kenmore Elite range, common parts customers replace include the range oven temperature sensor 5304504897 and, for power connection issues, the terminal block 5304409888. You can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect if you are working on a different appliance.

Kenmore model numbers are best read as a complete identifier, not just a few starting digits. For your Kenmore Elite electric range model 79041053101, using the full model number (and the serial/lot information from the serial plate) is what ensures the correct parts and instructions match.

Where to find the model number on model 79041053101

How to interpret the number (what matters for parts)

Kenmore model numbers often begin with a short prefix followed by additional digits. The most important rule is to match the entire model number exactly because small digit changes can indicate different wiring, controls, or cooking components.

• The first digits can indicate a model family.
• The remaining digits identify the exact configuration and revision.
• The serial number and lot letter help identify production runs.
• Exact matching prevents wrong-fit parts that look similar.

Quick reference table

What you see on the serial plate	Example	Why we use it
Model number	79041053101	Primary key for correct part fit
Serial number	(varies)	Identifies the individual unit
Lot number/letter	(varies)	Helps narrow version-specific changes

Why it matters

Electric ranges can use different sensors, elements, and control components across revisions.
