Kenmore 79046584500 electric range Parts

On the Kenmore 79046584500 electric range, there is no spark electrode igniter to replace; spark electrodes are used on gas burners. If you are troubleshooting a burner that will not heat, focus on the surface element, receptacle, or control switch, and follow the safety steps in the 79046584500 installation guide.

Confirm what you have (electric vs. gas)

We use this quick check to avoid replacing the wrong part:

• Electric range: surface elements glow red or heat under a smooth glass top; no clicking igniter
• Gas range: burner has a flame and often makes a rapid clicking sound during ignition
• Model tag should read 79046584500 and indicate electric range

What to check instead on model 79046584500

If a surface burner is not heating, these are the most common causes:

• Surface element is open or damaged (swap with a similar element to test)
• Element receptacle/terminal is burned or loose (look for discoloration or melted plastic)
• Infinite switch (surface element control) has failed
• Wiring connection is loose or overheated
• Power supply issue (tripped breaker, loose cord/terminal connections)

Parts that commonly apply

If your symptoms match, these model-compatible parts are typical fixes:

Symptom	Most likely area	Example part for this model
Burner will not heat at all	Surface element	Cooktop surface element 318372211
Burner cuts in and out, overheats, or will not regulate	Control switch	Control switch (infinite switch) for that burner
Burner works only when wiggled	Receptacle/connection	Support 5303935058

Safety steps before any wiring or burner work

We follow these steps any time we touch range wiring:

• Turn off power at the breaker (240V)
• Verify the cooktop is cool
• Pull the range forward carefully to avoid cord damage
• If inspecting the cord/terminal area, follow the access steps in the 79046584500 installation guide

Why it matters

Electric ranges heat through high-current components (elements, switches, terminal connections). Targeting the correct part prevents repeat failures and reduces the chance of overheated wiring at the terminal block.

A Kenmore 79046584500 electric range oven usually “stops working” because it is not getting the right power, the oven controls are in a lockout or fault state, or a key heating component (bake element, sensor, or wiring connection) has failed. Use the checks below to pinpoint the cause safely.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm power at the range: a tripped breaker can leave the display on but prevent heating (or vice versa). Reset both poles of the range breaker.
• Cancel and reset the control: press STOP/CLEAR to stop cooking and clear many fault conditions.
• Check for error codes and beeping: if the control beeps and shows F1, F3, or F9, clear it and note the code for troubleshooting.
• Verify the oven is actually trying to heat: during BAKE at 350°F, the lower element should glow red; during BROIL, the upper element should glow red.
• Do not run the oven during a power failure; turn the oven off so it does not restart unexpectedly when power returns.

Most common causes (and what they look like)

Symptom	Likely cause	What to check next
Oven will not heat in Bake	Failed bake element, wiring issue	Look for a break, blister, or no red glow on the lower element; inspect connections
Oven heats unevenly or temps are off	Temperature sensor out of range	Test/replace the sensor if readings are incorrect
Control beeps, shows F1/F3/F9	Electronic control fault detected	Clear code, retry; if it returns, service is typically needed
Oven light works but oven will not heat	Heating circuit problem	Element, sensor, terminal block, or control issue

Parts that commonly fix “no heat” on this model

• Frigidaire range bake element 318255401 (primary heat source for Bake)
• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 (tells the control the oven temperature)
• Terminal block 5304409888 (power connection point; loose/burnt connections can stop heating)

Why it matters

An oven that stops heating is often a simple power or component failure, but continuing to run the range with a fault code, damaged wiring, or unstable power can create unsafe temperatures and unreliable cooking results.

For control functions, lockout behavior, and what to expect during Bake, Broil, and Self-Clean, follow the 79046584500 owner's manual. For power hookup and post-install checks, use the 79046584500 installation guide.

On Kenmore electric range model 79046584500, the model and serial number are printed on the serial plate on the oven front frame, typically behind the oven door; on some versions it’s behind the storage drawer. Use the exact model number when ordering parts or scheduling service; see the 79046584500 owner’s manual.

Where to look on the range

Check these common label locations first:

• Open the oven door and look along the front frame/door jamb area
• Look behind the oven door on the oven front frame
• Pull out the storage drawer and look on the frame behind it (some models)
• Use a flashlight and look for a silver or white serial plate with model and serial fields

What to write down (and why)

Record the information exactly as shown on the serial plate:

• Model number (for this page: 79046584500)
• Serial number
• Lot number or letter (often printed near the model/serial)

Why it matters

The model number narrows your range to the correct wiring, controls, and heating parts. For example, it helps match items like the range oven light bulb 316538904 or the correct bake element and temperature sensor for your exact build.

Quick checklist

If you see this	It usually means
“Model No. 790…”	You’re on the right serial plate for Kenmore 790-series ranges
A long number plus letters	That’s typically the serial number
A separate lot code/letter	Helps identify production run details for parts matching

If your Kenmore electric range model 79046584500 oven is not getting hot, the most common causes are a failed bake heating circuit (bake element or wiring), a bad oven temperature sensor, or a control problem that is not sending power to the element. Use the checks below to pinpoint the failure.

Quick checks first (no tools)

• Confirm the range has full power (electric ovens typically need 240V; a tripped breaker can leave you with lights but no heat).
• Make sure you are using Bake (not Delay Start, Sabbath, or a timed feature).
• Allow a full preheat; the manual notes preheating affects cooking results and can make food seem undercooked if started too soon.
• Avoid foil on the oven bottom; the manual warns against lining the oven bottom because it can cause overheating and poor baking performance.
• If the oven recently sat in a cold area, let it warm to room temperature; electronic controls can act up in cold conditions.

Most likely failed parts on this model

1) Bake element

A broken or open bake element is the top cause of “won’t heat” on electric ranges.

• Look for blisters, cracks, or a burned spot.
• If you have a multimeter, unplug power and check continuity.
• Replace the element if it is visibly damaged or tests open.

Helpful part: frigidaire range bake element 318255401

2) Oven temperature sensor

If the sensor reads wrong, the control can limit or stop heating.

• If the oven heats inconsistently or never reaches set temp, suspect the sensor.
• Test resistance at room temperature and compare to the spec in the 79046584500 owner's manual.

Helpful part: frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002

What the symptoms usually mean

Symptom	Most common cause	Next step
No heat at all in Bake	Bake element, power supply, control relay	Check breaker, then test element
Broil works but Bake does not	Bake element or bake relay	Test/replace bake element first
Heats but never reaches temp	Temperature sensor, calibration, door seal	Test sensor; inspect seal
Long preheat, weak heat	Element partially failed, sensor drifting	Test element and sensor

Why it matters

An oven that is not heating correctly can lead to undercooked food and longer run times, which increases wear on the control and heating components. Fixing the root cause restores normal preheat and baking performance.
