Quick planning table (typical)
| Measurement | Typical value | What can change it |
|---|---|---|
| Opening width | 30 inches | Cabinet tolerances |

| Overall height | ~46 to 48 inches | Control panel/backguard design |
| Depth | ~25 to 28 inches | Door/handle, rear clearance |
Why the exact dimensions matter
Correct dimensions help prevent installation problems like a range that will not slide in fully, a door that hits adjacent cabinets, or an anti-tip bracket that does not line up correctly.
What we recommend before you measure the space
- Measure the cabinet opening width at the front and back
- Measure height to the countertop on both sides (floors can slope)
- Check for rear clearance for the power cord and outlet
- Confirm the anti-tip bracket location requirements
- Compare your measurements to the dimension diagram in the installation instructions

How to reset Kenmore oven model 79097453800?
To reset a Kenmore electric range model 79097453800, turn the range OFF and restore power by cycling the circuit breaker (or unplugging, if accessible) for about 1 minute, then power it back on and reset the clock and oven function as needed. See the 79097453800 owner's manual for control-specific steps.
Quick reset steps (most common)
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- If the oven is running, press CANCEL/OFF (if your control has it).
- Switch the range circuit breaker OFF for about 60 seconds.
- Switch the breaker ON.
- Set the clock, then test BAKE at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes.
If the control panel is locked (looks like it will not respond)
Your model has an Oven Lockout feature that can make it seem like the oven needs a reset.
- Press and hold the Oven Lockout pad for 3 seconds.
- Wait for the door to fully unlock and the display to clear.
- Try setting BAKE again.
| What you see | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Controls do not respond, “LOC” or “DOOR LOCKED” | Oven lockout is active | Hold lockout pad 3 seconds |
| Display is blank after outage | Power interruption | Cycle breaker, then set clock |
| Oven heats poorly after “reset” | Heating or sensing issue | Troubleshoot bake/broil/sensor |
Why it matters
A true power reset clears minor control glitches after a power interruption, but it will not fix a failed heating circuit. If the oven still will not heat after resetting, common causes include a failed bake element, temperature sensor, or control board. For temperature-sensing problems, the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 is a common related part for this model.
