Kenmore Elite 79041073100 electric range Parts

On the Kenmore Elite electric range model 79041073100, the model number is printed on the serial plate. For this style of range, the serial plate is typically on the oven front frame behind the oven door, or behind the storage drawer (depending on the exact configuration). See the installation guide for the serial plate location diagram.

Check these spots in this order:

• Open the oven door and look along the front frame (door jamb area) for a rating plate
• Pull out the lower storage drawer and look on the frame behind the drawer opening
• Look for a label that lists model, serial, and sometimes a lot number/letter

1. Make sure the oven is cool.
2. Open the oven door and scan the front frame on the left and right sides.
3. If you do not see it, slide out the bottom drawer and check the frame behind it.
4. Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown.

Kenmore Elite ranges can have multiple versions that look similar. Using the exact model number from the serial plate helps us match the correct range parts (like a bake element, oven temperature sensor, or terminal block) and avoid ordering the wrong replacement.

Kenmore Elite is a premium Kenmore product line that has been sold across multiple years (not a single launch year), so the exact “came out” date depends on the specific Kenmore Elite appliance and model. For your Kenmore Elite electric range model 79041073100, the most reliable way to pin down its era is to use the model and serial information referenced in the 79041073100 owner’s manual.

We use the model number to match parts and documentation, but the serial number is what typically ties to a production date range.

• Find the model and serial tag (commonly on the oven frame behind the storage or warming drawer, or along the door frame).
• Write down the full serial number exactly as shown.
• Compare the serial format to the identification details in the 79041073100 owner’s manual.
• If you are ordering parts, match by model number first, then confirm by symptom and part diagram.
• If you are troubleshooting performance issues, confirm basic operation checks before assuming age-related failure.

Kenmore Elite is a line name, not one single product release. Kenmore used “Elite” on multiple appliance categories (ranges, refrigerators, washers) over many model generations.

Knowing the approximate production year helps us choose the right repair approach and parts (for example, control styles and wiring can change between revisions). If your oven is not heating accurately, checking the range oven temperature sensor 5304504897 is a common first step after confirming symptoms.

To reset your Kenmore Elite electric range model 79041073100, turn the oven controls off, then reset power by switching the range circuit breaker off for 1 minute and back on. This clears many control glitches and restores normal operation; confirm any model-specific steps in the 79041073100 owner’s manual.

• Set all oven and cooktop controls to OFF.
• Turn OFF the range breaker (or unplug the range if accessible).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Restore power.
• Set the clock, then test Bake at 350°F.

These checks help separate a simple control lockup from a heating or sensor issue.

• If the oven heats but temperatures seem wrong, check the oven temperature sensor circuit and consider replacing the range oven temperature sensor 5304504897.
• If the oven will not heat and trips or overheats, a safety device such as a high-limit thermostat can be involved.
• If the range is newly installed or moved, confirm it is level; uneven installation can affect baking results.

A power reset is the fastest way to clear a stuck keypad or control logic issue without replacing parts. If symptoms return, focusing on common causes like the oven temperature sensor, wiring connections, and proper leveling prevents repeat failures and improves baking performance.
