Kenmore 79096011400 electric range Parts

To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79096011400, turn the range off, then cycle power at the home breaker (or unplug it) for about 1 minute and restore power. After power returns, reset the clock and any oven settings per the 79096011400 owner's manual.

Quick reset steps (most common)

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• If the oven is running, press Cancel/Off.
• Turn OFF the range circuit breaker (or unplug the power cord).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Turn the breaker ON (or plug back in).
• Set the clock and re-enter any bake/broil settings.

If the reset was caused by a power outage

Your range should not be operated during a power failure. Once power resumes, the range can begin operating again if it was left on, so we recommend confirming everything is OFF and then resetting the clock and oven function. Use the 79096011400 owner's manual for the exact clock-setting steps.

When a reset does not fix the problem

A reset clears many temporary control glitches, but it will not correct a failed heating circuit or a stuck control.

• If the oven will not heat, inspect the bake and broil functions; a failed element is a common cause.
• If a surface burner will not regulate heat, the infinite switch can be the issue.
• If the display or keypad acts erratically after a reset, the control interface may need attention.

Symptom after reset	Most likely area to check	Example part for this model
Oven will not bake	Bake heating circuit	Frigidaire range bake element 316075103
Burner stuck on high/low	Surface element control switch	Range surface element control switch 316436001
Oven light out (not a reset issue)	Bulb or socket	Range oven light bulb 316538904

Why it matters

Resetting safely protects the electronic oven control and helps prevent unexpected heating after a power interruption. It is also the fastest first step before testing parts like a bake element, control switch, or wiring.

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right: the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer, the next digits identify the base design, and the remaining digits show feature or color variations. For Kenmore range model 79096011400, the 790 prefix is the key identifier.

How to decode a Kenmore model number

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

• Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer code (for example, 790)
• Middle digits: base model series and platform
• Ending digits: version, feature set, and sometimes color or production changes
• Serial number: separate from the model number; used to identify build date and production run

Where to find the model and serial number on this range

On Kenmore electric range model 79096011400, the identification plate is located on the right side of the oven front frame inside the storage drawer or warmer drawer compartment.

• Pull the drawer out and look along the right front frame
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown
• Keep it with your purchase records for parts lookup and service

Reference: 79096011400 owner's manual

Why the prefix matters for parts

The 3-digit prefix helps match your range to the correct parts catalog and design family. That matters because parts like a bake element, surface element control switch, or control overlay can look similar but mount or wire differently.

What you’re doing	What to use	Why it helps
Ordering parts	Full model number (all digits)	Ensures exact fit and wiring match
Checking design family	First 3 digits (prefix)	Points to the correct manufacturer platform
Scheduling service	Model + serial number	Identifies the exact unit and production run
