How do I tell what model Kenmore stove I have?
Your Kenmore stove’s model number is printed on the appliance ID label; on Kenmore ranges it’s commonly found around the oven door frame, inside the storage drawer opening, or on the back panel. For this parts page, the correct model format is 79092203013.
Check these spots first (in order):
- Oven door frame or door jamb (open the oven door and look around the frame)
- Storage drawer opening (pull the bottom drawer out and look along the frame)
- Back of the range (rear panel near the power cord/terminal block cover)
- Under the cooktop (only if your cooktop lifts; follow safe access steps in the 79092203013 installation guide)
On Kenmore, the model number is usually labeled as Model, Model No., or MOD.
Here’s how to interpret what you see:
| What you find on the label | What it means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| A full number like 79092203013 | Complete model number | Use it to match parts and diagrams |
| Starts with 790 | Kenmore model prefix commonly used on many ranges | Keep reading the full digits to the end |
| Extra letters or a shorter number | Often a serial number or partial identifier | Keep looking for the line that says Model/Model No. |
We use the model number to match the exact wiring, control board layout, surface element style, and oven sensor type for your range. Even one digit off can point to a different bake element, control overlay, or temperature sensor.
If you’re troubleshooting after you confirm the model, the Kenmore 790 self-cleaning range error codes guide is a fast way to interpret display codes and narrow down likely causes.
- Turn off surface elements and let the cooktop cool completely
- Avoid removing rear covers unless power is shut off at the breaker
- If you need to move the range, follow anti-tip guidance in the 79092203013 installation guide

How many cubic feet is a Kenmore 79092203013 range?
Kenmore electric range model 79092203013 uses a standard 30-inch freestanding range platform; most ovens in this class are about 4.8 to 5.3 cu. ft. For the exact published capacity for your unit, check the specifications section in the 79092203013 owner's manual.
Measuring the oven cavity gives you a dependable number for cookware fit.
- Turn the range off and let the oven cool completely
- Remove oven racks for easier access
- Measure width: side wall to side wall (inside)
- Measure height: oven floor to the top of the cavity (inside)
- Measure depth: back wall to the inside of the door gasket (inside)
- Multiply
W x H x Dto get cubic inches - Divide by 1,728 to convert cubic inches to cubic feet
| Step | What you do | Example output |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Measure W, H, D (inches) | 24 x 16 x 19 |
| 2 | Multiply W x H x D | 7,296 cubic inches |
| 3 | Divide by 1,728 | 4.22 cu. ft. |
Even with the same cubic feet, the layout affects what fits.
- Rack supports and number of rack positions
- Broil element location at the top of the cavity
- Oven bottom design (hidden bake cover vs. exposed)
- Convection fan cover or rear baffle shape (if equipped)
Oven capacity helps you choose the right roasting pan, turkey roaster, and sheet pans, and it helps you plan multi-rack baking without blocking airflow.

How to reset Kenmore stove?
To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79092203013, shut off power at the breaker (or unplug the range if accessible) for 1 minute, then restore power. This clears many control glitches and can restore normal oven and cooktop operation.
- Turn OFF the range circuit breaker (typically a 240V double breaker).
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Turn the breaker ON.
- Set the clock and test Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
- Test one surface element briefly, then turn it off.
A reset fixes software-like lockups; it will not fix failed heating or sensing parts. These are the most common next checks:
- Oven not heating or overheating: test/inspect the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.
- Bake works poorly or not at all: inspect the bake element for blisters or breaks.
- Broil not working: inspect the broil element.
- Burner stays on or won’t regulate: a surface element control switch may be sticking.
- Display shows an error code: use the Kenmore 790 range 4-digit error codes guide to match the code to the likely failure.
| Symptom | What to check first | Why it’s common |
|---|---|---|
| Oven temp is inaccurate | Oven temperature sensor | Sensor drift causes wrong temps |
| Hot surface light stays on | Element, wiring, indicator circuit | Heat sensing circuit can stick |
| One burner won’t heat | Element, switch, wiring | Switch contacts fail over time |
| “Door locked” won’t clear | Door lock motor/switch | Lock mechanism can bind |
Resetting power is the fastest way to clear a stuck control board state after a power flicker, keypad glitch, or self-clean interruption. If symptoms return quickly, troubleshooting the sensor, elements, or switches prevents repeat shutdowns and uneven cooking.
For electrical safety and grounding details (especially if the range was recently installed or moved), follow the installation guide.
