Kenmore 79094038702 electric range Parts

For Kenmore electric range model 79094038702, the model and serial number are printed on an identification (serial) plate located on the right side of the oven front frame inside the storage or warmer drawer compartment. Use the exact model number to match parts and manuals.

1. Pull the range away from the wall if needed for access.
2. Open the storage drawer or warmer drawer (some versions use a lower panel).
3. Look on the right side of the oven front frame for the identification plate.
4. Write down both the model number and serial number for future reference.

• Check inside the storage or warmer drawer compartment first (most common for this model).
• Look for a metal or white sticker plate on the right front frame.
• Record the full model number exactly as shown (all digits matter).
• Record the serial number too; it helps when ordering parts or scheduling service.
• Use the model number when selecting parts like a bake element or oven temperature sensor.

We use the model number to ensure you get the correct Kenmore range parts and instructions. Even small model-number differences can change which bake element, surface element switch, or temperature sensor fits.

For the official location diagram and product record section, check the 79094038702 owner's manual.

To reset a Kenmore electric range model 79094038702, turn the range OFF, then restore power by cycling the breaker (or unplugging and plugging back in). After power returns, reset the clock and any oven settings as shown in the 79094038702 owner's manual.

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• If the oven is running, press Cancel/Off.
• Turn the range’s power OFF at the circuit breaker for about 1 minute.
• Turn the breaker back ON.
• Set the clock and re-enter any cooking settings.
• If the control is locked and shows “LOC”, cancel lockout (see below).

This model has an oven lockout feature that can look like a “stuck” control.

• Press and hold the oven lockout pad for 3 seconds.
• Wait about 15 seconds for the door lock motor to finish.
• To cancel, press and hold the same pad for 3 seconds again.

A power cycle clears many temporary control glitches and restores normal keypad response. It also helps after a power outage because this range can resume operation when power returns if it was not turned off first.

On the Kenmore 79094038702 electric range, the oven’s “Hold” temperature is typically about 150°F (often labeled Warm or Warm/Hold). Use the exact steps and any model-specific options in the 79094038702 owner's manual.

We recommend verifying the setting using the control panel behavior described in the manual.

• Start a bake cycle and watch for the preheat indicator to turn off when the oven reaches set temperature
• Check whether your control offers a Warm or Hold mode, or if it enters a warm-hold automatically after a timed bake
• Make sure the control is set to °F (not °C) if the displayed temperature looks unfamiliar
• If the oven seems too hot or too cool in warm-hold, use the calibration steps in the manual to fine-tune temperature

“Hold” is designed to keep cooked food warm without continuing to cook it aggressively.

If warm-hold seems inconsistent, these checks help narrow it down:

• Confirm the oven is fully preheated before judging temperature stability
• Avoid opening the door frequently; heat loss is significant at low temps
• Check for uneven heating symptoms that point to a failed heating circuit
• If baking performance is also off, the oven temperature sensor is a common cause

If you’re troubleshooting temperature accuracy, the range oven temperature sensor 316490000 is one of the key parts involved in regulating oven temperature.

A warm-hold temperature around 150°F keeps food warm for serving while reducing overcooking and drying. If the setting runs hotter than expected, food quality drops quickly and it can signal a calibration or sensor issue.

The Kenmore 79094038702 is a standard 30-inch freestanding electric range with a 5.2 cu. ft. oven capacity. For the exact exterior height and depth (including handle) and the required clearances, use the specs and diagrams in the 79094038702 installation guide.

These are the measurements that affect fit, clearances, and usable cooking space:

• Overall width: the cabinet opening fit (standard 30-inch class)
• Overall height: countertop alignment; leveling legs adjust final height
• Overall depth: clearance to walkways and adjacent cabinets; handle adds depth
• Oven capacity: how much the oven cavity holds (this model is 5.2 cu. ft.)
• Required clearances: safe spacing to walls, cabinets, and flooring

Because “size” can mean different things (overall vs. cutout vs. cavity), we recommend pulling the exact numbers from the official documents for Kenmore model 79094038702.

Use a tape measure and record your numbers so you can compare them to the installation specs:

• Measure the opening width at the front and back
• Measure depth to the front of the door, then add the handle clearance
• Measure height from floor to countertop; note if the floor is uneven
• Confirm space for the power cord and receptacle behind the range
• Verify anti-tip bracket location per the installation instructions

Correct sizing prevents a range that will not slide in fully, a door that hits nearby cabinetry, or unsafe installation due to missing clearances and anti-tip bracket placement.
