Kenmore 79094143312 electric range Parts

For Kenmore electric range model 79094143312, the identification plate (model and serial) is on the lower right front frame of the appliance; an alternate location is under the cooktop. These locations are specified in the 79094143312 installation guide.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the oven door and inspect the lower right front frame (front frame/rating plate area)
• If you do not see it there, check under the cooktop (alternate location)
• Use a flashlight; the plate can be a sticker or metal tag

Step-by-step: finding and recording the number

1. Make sure the range is cool and the oven door is open.
2. Look at the lower right front frame for the serial plate.
3. If needed, check the underside of the cooktop for the alternate plate location.
4. Write the model number and serial number exactly as shown (include all digits).

What you should capture

Item on the plate	Example format	What we use it for
Model number	79094143312	Matching correct parts diagrams and replacements
Serial number	Letters and numbers	Identifying production run details for service

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges can look similar across multiple 790-series models. Using the exact model number ensures you get the correct parts for your range, such as the frigidaire range bake element 316075103 or the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.

If your Kenmore 79094143312 electric range oven is not heating, the most common causes are a failed bake element, a failed broil element, a bad oven temperature sensor, or a control problem. We recommend confirming power, then testing heating components for continuity using the steps in the 79094143312 use & care guide.

Quick checks first (no parts needed)

• Make sure the range is fully powered (no tripped breaker); many electric ranges need a full 240V supply to heat properly.
• Confirm you are using BAKE (not Delay Start or a timed mode).
• If the oven was just in self-clean, allow it to cool and verify the door is fully unlocked.
• Look for obvious damage: blisters, cracks, or separated spots on the lower element.
• If the control shows an error code, use the Kenmore 790 self-cleaning range error codes guide to narrow the failure.

Most likely failed parts on model 79094143312

In this model family, these parts commonly stop the oven from heating:

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to test/inspect
No heat in Bake, Broil works	Bake element	Visual damage, then continuity on frigidaire range bake element 316075103
No heat in Broil, Bake works	Broil element	Continuity on frigidaire range broil element 316203200
Oven heats but temperature is wrong or cycles oddly	Oven temperature sensor	Resistance/continuity on frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
Neither element heats, display works	Control or wiring	Check connections at terminal block and harness (power off)

Safe troubleshooting steps (power off before opening panels)

• Turn off the breaker before removing the back panel or accessing wiring.
• Inspect element terminals for burned wires or loose push-on connectors.
• Check the sensor connector for corrosion or a loose fit.
• If wiring is damaged, repair the connection before installing a new element.

Why it matters

An oven that will not heat is usually a simple electrical failure (element or sensor). Testing first prevents replacing the wrong part and helps restore safe, consistent baking temperatures.

A Kenmore electric range like model 79094143312 typically lasts 13 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. Heating parts (bake and broil elements), switches, and sensors often wear sooner, but they are usually replaceable.

Typical lifespan by component

These are the parts that most often determine whether a range is worth repairing:

• Surface elements and control switches: frequent wear from high-heat cycling
• Oven bake and broil elements: can fail from age, hot spots, or spills
• Oven temperature sensor: can drift and cause temperature problems
• Control board/clock: can fail from heat exposure or power issues
• Door parts (hinges, seal, latch): wear from repeated opening and self-clean use

Item	Typical service life	Common symptom when failing
Electric range (overall)	13 to 15 years	Multiple functions become unreliable
Bake/broil element	5 to 10 years	No heat or uneven baking
Temperature sensor	8 to 12 years	Oven runs hot/cold
Surface switch	7 to 12 years	Burner stuck on, won’t heat, or cycles wrong

How to help your range reach the full lifespan

We recommend these habits because they reduce heat stress and electrical load on the range:

• Keep the oven cavity and bottom panel clean so heat circulates correctly
• Avoid lining the oven bottom with foil (it can trap heat and damage components)
• Use the correct cookware size so surface elements do not overheat
• Do not slam the oven door; it protects the hinges and door seal
• Follow clearance and safety requirements during installation to prevent heat damage (see the installation guide)

Parts that commonly extend life

If the range is otherwise in good shape, replacing a failed wear part often restores normal operation:

• Frigidaire range bake element 316075103
• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
• Frigidaire range surface element control switch 316436001

Why it matters

Knowing the expected lifespan helps you decide between repair and replacement. If your 79094143312 is under 15 years old and the issue is limited to a heating part, switch, or sensor, repair is usually the practical path. For operating and care tips that prevent premature wear, use the owner's manual.
