Kenmore 79094193312 electric range Parts

Kenmore model numbers are structured so the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer, the next set of digits identifies the base model series, and the remaining digits show feature or production variations. For Kenmore electric ranges like model 79094193312, the prefix 790 is the key identifier.

How to break down a Kenmore model number

Use this quick method to interpret most Kenmore appliance model numbers:

• First 3 digits (prefix): identifies the manufacturer behind the Kenmore brand
• Next digits (base model): identifies the core design or series
• Last digits (suffix): identifies variations such as color, feature package, or revision
• Dots or asterisks in manuals: often indicate a model family or color code (for example, 790.9419* in documentation)

For this range family, our 79094193312 owner's manual shows the model group format as 790.9419*, which is the same family your full model number fits into.

Quick example using this range

Example	What it usually means	Why you care
790	Manufacturer prefix	Helps match the correct parts catalog and service info
9419	Base model series	Narrows to the correct range platform
3312	Variation/suffix	Helps ensure exact fit for parts and features

Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting

Reading the model number correctly helps us match the right Kenmore parts and the right instructions for your exact electric range.

• Parts can look similar across model families but mount differently
• Wiring harnesses, control boards, and surface element switches can vary by suffix
• Manuals often cover multiple models, so the suffix helps confirm which features apply

Where to find the model number on the range

Most Kenmore electric ranges place the model and serial tag in one of these spots:

• On the oven frame behind the storage drawer
• On the frame behind the oven door (along the front edge)
• On a side trim area near the door opening

If you are installing the range or verifying electrical requirements, use the 79094193312 installation guide to confirm the correct setup details.

To reset a Kenmore electric range model 79094193312, turn the range OFF, then cycle power at the breaker for about 1 minute and restore power; after power returns, reset the clock and reselect your oven function. For control lock issues, use the Oven Lock cancel steps in the 79094193312 use and care guide.

Quick reset steps (most common)

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• If the oven is cooking, press CANCEL/OFF.
• Turn OFF the range circuit breaker (or unplug the range if accessible).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Restore power.
• Set the time of day and try BAKE or BROIL again.

If “LOC” shows in the display (Oven Lock is on)

The range can look “stuck” when the Oven Lock feature is active.

• Confirm the oven door is fully closed.
• Press and hold Oven Lock for 3 seconds.
• Wait about 15 seconds for the motorized latch to fully unlock.
• Try the oven controls again.

What you see	What it usually means	What to do
Display is blank	No power to range	Check breaker, outlet, and wiring
“LOC” in display	Oven Lock is active	Cancel Oven Lock (hold 3 seconds)
Keys do not respond after reset	Control is not accepting input	Power reset again; then check for error codes

Why it matters

A power cycle clears many temporary control glitches after a power interruption, and resetting the clock restores normal operation. If the oven is locked, canceling Oven Lock prevents damage to the door latch mechanism and gets the controls working again.

When a reset is not enough

If the oven still will not heat or keeps showing an error, check the troubleshooting and code meanings in the Kenmore 790 self-cleaning range error codes guide. If you suspect a temperature sensing problem, the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 is a common part involved in temperature regulation on this style of range.

On the Kenmore electric range model 79094193312, the model and serial number are on the serial plate located on the left side of the warmer drawer frame. Open the warmer drawer fully and you should be able to read the label clearly; see the 79094193312 owner's manual.

Where to look on the range

Check these common label locations in this order:

• Warmer drawer open: left side of the warmer drawer frame (most reliable for this model)
• Oven door open: along the door frame (door jamb area)
• Back of the range: near the venting area or rear panel
• Lower storage drawer area (if your unit has a storage drawer instead of a warmer drawer)

What the label looks like and what to write down

The serial plate typically includes both identifiers. Record:

• Model number (example format: 790.9419*)
• Serial number
• Date of purchase (helpful for service and parts matching)

Item	What it’s used for	Tip
Model number	Matching parts and diagrams	Use the full number, including all digits
Serial number	Production details and service reference	Take a clear photo for your records

Why it matters

We use the exact model number to match the correct Kenmore parts (like a bake element, oven temperature sensor, or control board). Even small model variations can change wiring, controls, and compatible replacement parts.
