How do I reset my Kenmore electric range?
To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79092703013, turn the range off and cycle power at the home breaker (or fuse box) for a few minutes, then restore power and reset the clock and any cooking settings. Use the steps in the 79092703013 owner's manual for control and clock setup.
Quick reset steps (power cycle)
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- If the oven is running, press Cancel/Off (if your control has it).
- Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or remove the range fuse).
- Wait 3 to 5 minutes.
- Switch the breaker ON (or reinstall the fuse).
- Reset the clock and reselect your desired oven function.
What to do after a power reset
A power interruption can clear a temporary control glitch, but you still need to restore basic settings.
| After reset | What you may notice | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Clock lost | Display shows incorrect time or flashes | Set the clock in the 79092703013 owner's manual |
| Cooking stopped | Oven will not resume automatically | Re-enter bake/broil settings |
| Error returns | Code comes back after reset | Use Kenmore 790 self-cleaning range error codes to identify next steps |
If the range still will not heat or acts erratically
These checks help separate a simple power issue from a part problem.
- Confirm the breaker is a double-pole range breaker and is fully reset (OFF then ON).
- If the display is dead, check the house power supply and range connection.
- If the oven heats unevenly or shuts off, the oven temperature sensor can be a common cause; see frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.
- If the oven will not bake but broil works (or vice versa), inspect the heating element for visible damage; bake uses frigidaire range bake element 316505500 and broil uses frigidaire range broil element 316203301.
- If problems happen after self-clean, a door lock issue can prevent operation; check range oven door lock motor and switch assembly 5304528973.
Why it matters
Resetting by cycling power is the fastest way to clear a temporary electronic control issue, and it also confirms whether the problem is a one-time glitch or something that needs troubleshooting (like a sensor, element, or door lock).

How to read Kenmore model numbers?
Kenmore model numbers are structured so the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer, the next group identifies the base model series, and the remaining digits show feature or design variations. For your Kenmore electric range model 79092703013, the 790 prefix is the key identifier.
What each section of a Kenmore model number means
Most Kenmore model numbers follow this pattern:
- Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer code (example: 790)
- Middle digits: base model series (helps narrow down the platform and parts family)
- Ending digits: version or feature variations (color, control style, revisions)
To confirm the exact model and serial for ordering parts, we use the appliance ID plate location shown in the 79092703013 owner's manual.
Where to find the model number on this range
On Kenmore 790-series ranges like 79092703013, the model and serial tag is typically found here:
- Open the warmer drawer (some models)
- Or open the storage drawer (some models)
- Look on the lower right oven frame
- Copy the model number exactly, including all digits
Quick example using your model
| Example | What it tells us | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 79092703013 | 790 = manufacturer prefix | Ensures the correct parts family |
| 7909270 | Base series | Narrows down compatible assemblies |
| 3013 | Variation/revision | Matches the correct version of parts |
Why it matters when buying parts
Even one digit off can point to a different wiring harness, control board, or oven sensor. Using the full model number helps us match parts like an oven temperature sensor, bake element, or surface element control switch to the correct Kenmore range configuration.
