Where can I find my Kenmore 79099613702 oven model number?
On Kenmore Elite model 79099613702, the model and serial number are printed on the serial plate located on the oven front frame behind the large oven door. This is the number to use when ordering parts and matching the correct Use and Care information in the owner's manual.
Check these spots in order:
- Open the large oven door and look along the front frame (the frame the door closes against)
- Look for a metal or foil serial plate with the model and serial number
- Wipe the area with a dry cloth if the label is dusty or greasy
- Use a flashlight; the plate is often easier to read from an angle
We recommend recording the information exactly as shown:
- Model number (for example, 79099613702)
- Serial number
- Lot number or letter (if shown on the serial plate)
The model number ensures you get the correct Kenmore Elite electric range parts (like a bake element, broil element, or oven temperature sensor) and the right wiring and installation details for your exact build.
| Item | What it identifies | When you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | The exact range design and parts fit | Ordering parts, looking up diagrams, matching manuals |
| Serial number | Your specific unit’s production run | Service history, verifying the exact unit |

Is Kenmore 79099613702 high end?
Yes. The Kenmore Elite 79099613702 is positioned as a higher-end Kenmore electric range, with a feature set and fit-and-finish intended to be more premium than standard Kenmore models. For the most accurate list of features included on your exact unit, use the owner's manual.
Kenmore Elite is Kenmore’s premium line; on ranges like the 79099613702, that typically shows up as stronger cooking performance and more convenience features.
Common “premium” traits on Elite electric ranges include:
- A ceramic glass cooktop with multiple radiant elements
- More precise oven temperature control and cooking modes
- Convection components on many configurations (fan motor and fan blade)
- Upgraded styling and control layout compared to base models
- More serviceable, replaceable components (elements, sensors, controls)
Use this checklist to compare your experience to what most customers expect from a high-end range:
- Preheats consistently and holds temperature without wide swings
- Bake and broil heat evenly (no persistent hot spots)
- Surface elements respond smoothly across heat settings
- Controls are responsive and error-free
- Door seals well and the oven light and lens stay clear
If performance feels less premium than it should, these parts are common culprits on electric ranges:
| Symptom | Often involved part | Example from this model’s parts list |
|---|---|---|
| Oven temp off by 25 to 50 degrees | Temperature sensor | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 |
| Slow or uneven baking | Bake element | Bake element 318255201 |
| Weak broiling | Broil element | Range broil element 318255605 |
“High end” is mostly about consistent results and convenience. When key components like the oven temperature sensor, bake element, or broil element are working correctly, your Kenmore Elite 79099613702 delivers the steady temperatures and responsiveness people associate with a premium range.

How do I reset my Kenmore 79099613702 electric oven?
To reset your Kenmore Elite 79099613702 electric oven back to factory control settings, press and hold the 7 keypad for about 6 seconds until you hear a beep, then press Start once. This clears stored recipes and resets control adjustments.
This reset is designed for the electronic oven control settings, not for fixing a power supply problem.
- Erases any stored recipe programming
- Resets control preferences (such as sound settings and display preferences)
- Resets any oven temperature offset/adjustment back to default
- Does not repair heating problems caused by failed parts (like a bake element)
| Reset type | What you do | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Control settings reset | Hold 7 for 6 seconds, then press Start | Recipes and control adjustments return to factory defaults |
| Power reset (basic reboot) | Turn off the range breaker for 1 to 2 minutes, then restore power | Clears minor glitches after a power surge |
A reset will not fix a failed heating circuit. If bake or broil still does not work, these are the most common checks:
- Confirm the range has full power (a range can appear “on” with only one leg of 240V)
- Try Bake and Broil separately to see if one mode works
- Look for visible damage on the lower bake element (blisters, cracks, holes)
- If temperatures are inaccurate, the oven temperature sensor is a common cause
- If the control is unresponsive or erratic, the control board or wiring connections may be involved
Helpful model-matched parts to consider when symptoms point that direction:
- Bake element 318255201
- Range broil element 318255605
- Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002
Resetting the control is the fastest way to clear incorrect programming and restore default settings on the Kenmore Elite 79099613702. It is also a good first step after a power outage before replacing parts.
For the exact keypad sequence and what settings are cleared, follow the instructions in the owner's manual.

Why is my Kenmore 79099613702 stove not working?
If your Kenmore Elite 79099613702 electric range is not working, the most common causes are a tripped 240V breaker, a loose/burned power connection, incorrect control settings, or a failed heating or control component. Start by confirming whether the whole range is dead or only the oven or one surface element.
- Reset the double-pole (240V) breaker; a half-tripped breaker can leave the range partially dead.
- If power was interrupted, turn oven controls OFF; do not operate the oven during a power failure.
- If only one burner will not heat, confirm you are using the correct knob for that element.
- If the control beeps and shows F10, F30, or F90, press CLEAR; if it returns, the control detected a fault.
A loose or burned connection can cause a dead display, intermittent power, or random shutdowns.
- Turn off power at the breaker before inspecting wiring
- Check for melted insulation or discoloration at the cord connection
- Tighten loose connections and replace heat-damaged parts
Helpful part to check/replace: terminal block 5304409888
These parts commonly cause no bake/broil heat or poor temperature control:
- Bake element 318255201
- Range broil element 318255605
- Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002
- Control board (if elements and sensor test good)
| Symptom | What to check first |
|---|---|
| Display dead, nothing works | Breaker, terminal block, wiring |
| Cooktop works, oven won’t heat | Bake/broil element, sensor |
| Beeping with F10/F30/F90 | Clear code; then control diagnostics |
Electric range problems usually fall into three areas: incoming power, controls, or heating circuits. Narrowing the symptom to one area prevents replacing the wrong part and restores safe, consistent cooking.
For model-specific troubleshooting steps and the “before you call” checklist, use the owner's manual.
