Does a Kenmore Elite have a reset button?
No. The Kenmore Elite electric range model 79099513300 does not use a single dedicated “reset” button; the practical reset is a power reset (turning power off at the breaker, then restoring it) and then re-setting items like the clock per the owner's manual.
- Turn off power to the range at the household breaker (preferred) or unplug it.
- Wait 2 to 5 minutes to let the electronic control fully power down.
- Restore power.
- Reset the clock and any settings that were cleared.
- Use the breaker because most ranges are hardwired.
- If the display is blank or frozen, a power reset is the first step.
- After power is restored, confirm the oven responds to Bake and Broil commands.
- If the issue started after a power fluctuation, check for a tripped breaker.
- If you recently replaced a part, recheck wire connections before restoring power.
A power reset helps with a locked-up control or minor electronic glitches. It will not correct a failed heating or sensing component.
| Symptom | Most likely area to check | Common next step |
|---|---|---|
| Oven not heating or heats unevenly | Bake circuit | Inspect and test the bake element 318255201 |
| Oven temperature seems inaccurate | Temperature sensing | Test the probe 316217002 |
| No power or intermittent power | Power connection | Inspect the terminal block 5304409888 for heat damage |
On model 79099513300, the electronic oven control depends on stable power. A proper power reset clears the control’s temporary state, but persistent heating or power symptoms usually point to a component (element, sensor, or power terminal) that needs inspection or replacement.

How many cubic feet is my Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
Cubic feet (capacity) is a refrigerator specification, so it is not tied to Kenmore Elite electric range model 79099513300. For a Kenmore refrigerator, we find the correct cubic feet by matching the refrigerator’s full model number to its rating plate and then confirming the capacity in the specs section of the owner's manual.
Use these steps in order; they prevent mix-ups between similar model numbers.
- Locate the refrigerator model number on the rating plate (commonly inside the fresh food section on a side wall, ceiling, or near a crisper frame).
- Write the full model number exactly as shown (include all digits and any letters).
- Check the refrigerator’s specifications section in the owner's manual for “capacity” or “total capacity” in cubic feet.
- If you are shopping for parts, search that refrigerator model number on the parts list first; then use Sears PartsDirect if you need to search by model number.
| What you have | What it tells you | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Rating plate model number | Exact identity of the refrigerator | Correct parts and correct capacity |
| Owner’s manual specs | Published capacity in cubic feet | Confirms total and compartment capacities |
| Similar-looking model family | Not exact | Avoid using for capacity or parts |
Capacity is used for comparing refrigerator sizes and for planning kitchen fit and storage. Using the wrong model number (or using a range model like 79099513300) leads to incorrect cubic feet and can also cause you to order the wrong parts.

Where is the model number on the Kenmore Elite stove?
On the Kenmore Elite electric range model 79099513300, the model and serial number are printed on an identification plate on the oven front frame; you can see it when the oven door is open. It may also be located inside the storage drawer, along the side of the frame (depending on how your range is configured). See the owner's manual for the exact identification-plate location details.
- Open the oven door and look along the front frame (around the door opening)
- Pull out the bottom storage drawer and check the inside side walls of the frame
- Use a flashlight; the plate is often small and easy to miss
- Wipe grease or dust off the label so the numbers are readable
The identification plate usually lists both the model and serial number. Record both so we can match the correct Kenmore parts and diagrams.
| Item on label | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts and diagrams | 79099513300 |
| Serial number | Production details and service history | Letters and numbers |
Kenmore ranges often have multiple versions that look similar but use different parts (for example, a bake element, temperature sensor probe, or oven light components). Using the exact model number helps us ensure you get the right replacement part the first time. If you need to order parts after you find the model number, you can shop the parts list for 79099513300 or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.
