Kenmore 79096343500 electric range Parts

To replace the oven control board on your Kenmore electric range model 79096343500, we disconnect power, access the control area from the back, move each wire to the matching terminal on the new board (including the ribbon connector), then reassemble and restore power. Use the 79096343500 owner’s manual for control-panel access and safe power handling.

Safety first (before you touch wiring)

• Turn off the breaker (or unplug the range) and confirm the display is dark.
• Let the range cool completely.
• Avoid pulling on wires; grip connectors by the insulated terminals.
• Take a clear photo of the wire layout before removing anything.
• If the control is beeping and showing an “F” code, clear it first with CLEAR/OFF and record the code for reference.

Replacement steps (typical for this Kenmore 790-series design)

1. Kill power at the breaker.
2. Pull the range forward enough to reach the rear panel.
3. Remove the rear access panel behind the control area.
4. Label and transfer wires from the old board to the new board one at a time (this prevents mix-ups).
5. Reconnect the ribbon cable: fully insert it into the connector, then lock/snap the retainer into place.
6. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and set the clock.

What to check if the new board still acts up

Symptom	Most common cause	What we do next
Dead display	No power supply to range	Recheck breaker, cord, terminal block wiring
Beeping with “F” code	Control fault detected	Clear, reprogram, then troubleshoot by code
Oven won’t heat	Heating circuit issue	Check bake/broil elements and wiring connections

Why it matters

The control board is the “brain” for bake, broil, timer, and temperature regulation. Correct wire placement and a fully seated ribbon connector prevent nuisance error codes, no-heat conditions, and intermittent operation.

On a Kenmore 79096343500 electric range, an oven that “stops working” is usually caused by a power supply issue, controls not set for the function, or a failed heating component (bake or broil). If the control is beeping and showing an “F” code, the electronic control has detected a fault.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the range has power (check house lights and the breaker; a partial trip can leave the display on but stop heating).
• Make sure the oven controls are set correctly for Bake or Broil (settings errors are common after a power outage).
• Press STOP/CLEAR to cancel a stuck cycle and reprogram the oven.
• If an “F” code appears, write it down; clear it with CLEAR/OFF and see if it returns.
• If the oven light is out, replace or tighten the bulb; a dead light does not stop heating, but it helps confirm what is and is not working.

Most common part-related causes (electric range)

If power and settings are correct, these are the most frequent failures:

Symptom	Likely cause	What to check next
Oven will not heat in Bake	Failed bake element	Look for blisters, cracks, or no glow during preheat; consider frigidaire range bake element 316413800
Broil does not work	Failed broil element	Check for visible damage; consider frigidaire range broil element 316203301
Oven heats inconsistently or shuts off	Control or sensor issue	Note any “F” code and follow the troubleshooting steps in the 79096343500 owner’s manual

Why it matters

An oven can appear “dead” for different reasons: a simple control reset is fast and safe, while a failed bake element or broil element prevents proper heating and can lead to undercooked food.

For Kenmore electric range model 79096343500, the model and serial number are printed on an identification (serial) plate located on the right side of the oven front frame, inside the storage drawer or warmer drawer compartment. Use the location diagram in the 79096343500 owner's manual to spot it quickly.

Where to look on the range

1. Pull the drawer out: Open the storage drawer (or warmer drawer, if your model has one).
2. Look at the oven front frame: Check the right side of the frame opening behind the drawer.
3. Find the identification plate: It lists the model number and serial number.

Quick checklist

• Turn the oven light on so you can see the frame area clearly.
• Look for a small label or metal plate on the right-side front frame.
• Record both the model and serial numbers for parts lookup.
• If the drawer is hard to remove, follow the drawer removal steps in the 79096343500 owner's manual.
• Wipe dust off the plate gently; don’t use abrasive cleaners.

Common model number locations (comparison)

If the plate isn’t obvious at first glance, these are the most common places customers check.

Location	How common on electric ranges	What to do
Right side of oven front frame (inside drawer compartment)	Very common (this model)	Pull drawer out and check right-side frame
Door jamb / front frame behind oven door	Common	Open oven door and inspect frame edges
Back panel near vent area	Sometimes	Check rear panel label (power off first)

Why it matters

We use the exact model number (like 79096343500) to match the correct Kenmore parts, diagrams, and troubleshooting steps. Even small model number differences can change which bake element, control, or indicator light fits.
