Where is Kenmore's model number?
On Kenmore electric range model 79096223408, the model and serial number are printed on the serial plate located on the right side of the oven front frame, inside the storage drawer or warmer drawer compartment. Pull the drawer open to see the identification plate.
How to find it on model 79096223408
- Turn the range off and let it cool completely.
- Pull the storage drawer (or warmer drawer, if equipped) straight out.
- Look along the right side of the oven front frame for a metal or foil identification plate.
- Record both the model number and serial number for parts lookup and service.
- Use the exact model number when ordering parts like a bake element, broil element, or control switch.
What the serial plate typically includes
| Item on plate | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Model number | Matching the correct parts diagrams and parts list |
| Serial number | Identifying the production run for service and support |
| Electrical ratings | Confirming power requirements during installation or troubleshooting |
Why it matters
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore range parts for your exact configuration (surface elements, oven controls, and wiring). Using the full model number helps prevent ordering the wrong part.

How to reset Kenmore oven model 79096223408?
To reset a Kenmore electric range model 79096223408, turn the range off, then restore power by resetting the household breaker (or unplugging and plugging back in). After power returns, reset the clock and reselect your oven function as shown in the 79096223408 owner's manual.
Quick reset steps (most common)
- Turn all surface burner knobs to OFF.
- Set the oven control to STOP/CLEAR to cancel any active cooking cycle.
- Turn OFF the range circuit breaker for about 1 minute (or unplug the range if accessible).
- Turn the breaker ON (or plug back in).
- Set the clock, then test Bake at 350°F.
If the control is locked (Loc on display)
Your range has an oven lockout feature that can make it look like the oven “won’t respond.”
- Press and hold STOP/CLEAR for 3 seconds.
- Wait about 15 seconds for the door lock motor to finish.
- When the door unlocks, try setting Bake again.
| What you see | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Display is blank | No power to range | Check breaker, cord, outlet |
| “Loc” shows | Oven lockout is on | Hold STOP/CLEAR 3 seconds |
| Beeping with an “F” code | Control detected a fault | Press STOP/CLEAR; reprogram; if it returns, record the code |
If an “F” error code keeps coming back
- Press STOP/CLEAR to stop beeping and clear the display.
- Re-enter the cooking settings.
- If the same code returns, record it and use our Kenmore 790 self-cleaning range error codes guide to identify the likely cause.
Why it matters
A proper reset clears a stuck keypad or interrupted cycle after a power outage, and it helps you confirm whether the issue is power-related, a lockout setting, or an electronic oven control fault.

What was the size of the Kenmore 79096223408 oven?
The Kenmore 79096223408 is a freestanding electric range in the 790.962x family; its oven is a standard full-size cavity. For the exact oven capacity (cubic feet) and interior measurements for your specific configuration, use the specifications section in the 79096223408 owner's manual.
What “size” can mean (and what to check)
Oven “size” is usually one of these:
- Oven capacity (cubic feet): best for comparing how much you can bake at once
- Interior dimensions (width, height, depth): best for fitting a roasting pan or pizza stone
- Overall range dimensions (width, height, depth): best for cabinet and cutout planning
- Rack positions and usable rack width: best for multi-rack baking
Typical size ranges for this type of Kenmore electric range
If you are estimating without the spec page in front of you, most Kenmore freestanding electric ranges like model 79096223408 fall into these common ranges:
| Measurement type | Typical range | What it helps with |
|---|---|---|
| Overall width | ~29 7/8 in. to 30 in. | Fit between cabinets |
| Overall height (to cooktop) | ~36 in. (adjustable) | Counter alignment |
| Overall depth (varies by handle) | ~25 in. to 28+ in. | Clearance and door swing |
| Oven capacity | ~4.8 to 5.4 cu. ft. | Pan count and turkey size |
Why it matters
Using the correct “size” prevents common fit problems, like a range that sits proud of the cabinets, an oven rack that will not hold your roasting pan, or a door that hits an island.
Quick tips to get the exact spec fast
- Check the specifications section in the 79096223408 owner's manual
- Confirm your exact model from the serial plate location (right side of the oven front frame in the storage or warmer drawer compartment)
- Measure your largest pan and compare it to the interior width and depth listed in the manual

What causes a Kenmore oven to stop working?
On the Kenmore 79096223408 electric range, an oven that “stops working” is usually caused by a power supply problem, incorrect control settings, or an electronic control fault (often shown as an F code). If the display is blank or the oven will not start, begin with basic power checks and then follow the control reset steps in the 79096223408 owner's manual.
Most common causes to check first
- House power issue: a tripped breaker, blown fuse, or power outage can stop the oven.
- Controls not set for a cooking mode: the oven may appear dead if a function was cleared or not started.
- Electronic control fault: the control can beep and show an F code; clearing and reprogramming may restore operation.
- Failed heating component: a failed bake or broil circuit can make it seem like the oven is not working even though the display is on.
- Wiring connection problem: loose or burned connections can interrupt power to the oven.
Quick troubleshooting steps (in order)
- Check power at the home panel: confirm the range breaker is fully reset (OFF then ON).
- Confirm the range is connected correctly: verify the cord/plug connection if your installation uses a plug.
- Reset the control: press STOP/CLEAR (or CLEAR/OFF) and re-enter Bake or Broil settings.
- If an “F” code appears: press CLEAR/OFF to stop beeping, then reprogram; if it returns, write down the code.
- If the cooktop works but the oven does not: suspect an oven-side failure such as a heating circuit or control issue.
Parts that commonly relate to “oven not working” symptoms
| Symptom | What it often points to | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven will not heat, but display works | Failed bake or broil heating circuit | Frigidaire range bake element 316413800 or frigidaire range broil element 316203301 |
| Display beeps, shows fault code | Electronic control detected a fault | Use the manual steps; record the code |
| Entire range seems dead | Power supply or connection issue | Electrical supply and connections |
Why it matters
An electric range uses 240V power and electronic controls; a simple breaker issue can look like a major failure, while an F code helps narrow the problem quickly so you replace only the part that actually failed.
