How do you reset a Kenmore electric stove?
To reset a Kenmore electric range like model 9119564990, we recommend doing a power reset: shut off power at the breaker (or unplug the cord), wait about 1 minute, then restore power. This clears many control glitches and restores normal heating.
- Turn all surface controls and the oven control to OFF.
- Unplug the range or switch the range circuit breaker OFF.
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Restore power.
- Set BAKE and confirm the oven begins heating.
- If the display or heating is still abnormal, continue with the checks below.
A reset fixes control lockups, but it will not fix a failed heating part or a power supply problem.
- Confirm the range is on a 240V circuit and the breaker is fully reset (OFF then ON).
- Check whether broil heats but bake does not (or the reverse).
- Look for signs of a failed element (blistering, cracks, burn spots).
- If the oven light is out, replace the bulb only after power is off; the manual specifies a 40-watt appliance bulb and basic safety precautions.
- If you suspect wiring damage, inspect for loose or overheated connections with power off.
| Symptom after reset | Most common cause | What we recommend next |
|---|---|---|
| No heat on bake, broil, and surface | Power supply issue | Reset breaker, verify outlet/circuit |
| Broil works, bake does not | Failed bake element | Replace bake element WB44K5012 |
| Bake works, broil does not | Failed broil element/support issue | Inspect broil element area and supports |
| Oven light out only | Burned-out bulb or lens issue | Replace 40A15 bulb 40A15 and inspect lens |
A proper power reset is the fastest way to clear a stuck control state without replacing parts. If heating still fails afterward, the symptom pattern (bake vs. broil vs. surface) helps pinpoint whether you need an element, a control, or an electrical repair.
For control operation details (BAKE, TIMED BAKE, ROAST, and self-clean), follow the steps in the 9119564990 owner's manual.

What causes a Kenmore oven to stop working?
On the Kenmore 9119564990 electric range, an oven that “stops working” is usually caused by a power supply problem (tripped breaker), a control setting issue (timed/stop time not set as intended), or a failed heating component such as the bake or broil element. Use the 9119564990 owner's manual to confirm correct knob and timed-bake settings.
- Reset the range by turning the double breaker OFF for 1 minute, then back ON.
- Confirm the oven is actually set to BAKE and a temperature is selected (not OFF).
- Check any STOP TIME/DELAY START settings; timed operation can shut the oven off when the stop time is reached.
- If the oven light is out too, check the bulb and lens condition.
- Look for obvious signs of element damage (blisters, cracks, burned spots).
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| No heat in bake, broil may still work | Failed bake element | Inspect and replace the bake element WB44K5012 if damaged |
| No heat in broil, bake may still work | Failed broil element/support issue | Inspect broil element area and supports (for example broil support WB2X9719) |
| Oven shuts off unexpectedly | Timed bake/stop time set, or power interruption | Recheck clock and STOP TIME/DELAY START settings in the manual |
| Oven light does not work | Burned-out bulb or damaged lens | Replace the 40A15 bulb 40A15 and inspect the light lens WB25T10042 |
When an electric oven loses heat, food can undercook and temperature swings can get worse if you keep opening the door. The manual also notes “no peeking” and avoiding foil placement that blocks heat flow, both of which affect performance and can mimic a heating problem.
If the breaker is fine and elements look good, the next step is safe electrical testing (power to the range, continuity of elements, and wiring connections). A damaged harness can also cause intermittent operation.
- Unplug the range or switch the breaker OFF before accessing wiring
- Check for loose, overheated, or brittle connectors
- Use a meter to test continuity on elements and suspect circuits

Where can I find my Kenmore electric range model number?
For Kenmore electric range model 9119564990, the model number is printed on a rating label attached to the range cabinet. We most often see it in the oven door jamb (open the oven door and look around the frame) or on the frame behind the storage drawer.
- Oven door jamb: open the oven door and look along the front frame
- Behind the bottom storage drawer: pull the drawer out and look on the frame rails or side panel
- Back of the range: near the rear panel or vent area
- Side of the range frame: visible after pulling the range slightly forward
- Turn the oven light on and use a flashlight.
- Open the oven door; scan the left and right door jamb area first.
- Pull the storage drawer out fully; check the frame behind it.
- If needed, look at the back panel near the cord/terminal area (power off at the breaker first).
| Label item | Example | Why you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 9119564990 | Ensures diagrams and parts match your exact range |
| Serial number | (varies) | Helps date the unit and confirm production run |

Why is my Kenmore electric oven not getting hot?
If your Kenmore range model 9119564990 isn’t getting hot, the most common causes are a failed bake element, a broil element issue, or a control or wiring problem that prevents power from reaching the heating circuit. Start with safe power checks, then test heating components.
- Confirm the oven is set to BAKE (not Delay Start or a timed setting).
- Avoid frequent door opening; heat loss can make the oven seem weak.
- Make sure you are not using foil in a way that blocks heat flow (do not place foil directly above the bake element).
- Check that the oven vent is not blocked; restricted airflow can affect performance.
- If the oven was recently installed or serviced, verify the range has the correct power supply (electric ranges typically require 240V).
A cracked, blistered, or broken bake element often causes “no heat” or very slow preheat.
- Look for visible damage along the element
- Test for continuity with a multimeter
If you need the correct replacement for this model, match by model number and diagram; a common related part on this model page is the bake element WB44K5012.
Some ovens use the broil element to help preheat. If it is out, preheat can be very slow.
- Inspect the broil element for damage
- Check mounting and support condition
A related support part listed for this model is the broil support WB2X9719.
If elements test good, the issue is often electrical delivery:
- Loose or burned wire terminals at the element
- Damaged harness or connector
- Failed surface/oven control components
A model-listed electrical part that can be involved in heating circuits is the wire harness WB18K5362.
| Task | Power requirement | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Visual inspection | Power OFF recommended | Reduces burn and shock risk |
| Continuity testing | Power OFF | Prevents meter damage and shock |
| Live voltage checks | Power ON (advanced) | Confirms 240V supply; use a technician |
Follow the safety guidance in the 9119564990 owner's manual, including letting heating elements cool and disconnecting power if self-clean malfunctions.
An oven that will not heat is usually a simple heating-circuit failure (element, connection, or control). Testing in the right order prevents unnecessary part replacement and gets your Kenmore electric range back to normal baking temperatures faster.
