Kenmore 79094172310 electric range Parts

On Kenmore electric range model 79094172310, the model and serial plate is typically on the lower right front frame of the range; you may also find it under the cooktop. We recommend matching the full model number exactly before ordering parts or using wiring instructions in the installation guide.

Common places to check

• Lower right front frame (front frame area of the appliance)
• Under the cooktop (alternate serial plate location)
• Door jamb area (open the oven door and check the frame edge)
• Behind the storage or warmer drawer (check the frame and side panels)
• Back panel near the vent area (less common, but worth a quick look)

Quick steps to find it fast

1. Turn the oven light on and use a flashlight to read small print.
2. Open the oven door and scan the front frame edges first.
3. Pull the bottom drawer out fully and look at the frame behind it.
4. If needed, lift the cooktop (only if your design allows safe access) and look for the plate underneath.

On the Kenmore electric range model 79094172310, you can often reset an F1 error by fully removing power from the range for several minutes, then restoring power. This clears temporary control glitches and forces the oven control to reboot.

Fast reset steps (safe, no tools)

• Turn the range OFF.
• Shut off the range circuit breaker (or unplug the power cord if accessible).
• Wait 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• If the clock flashes, set the time and try Bake.
• If F1 returns quickly, move to the checks below.

If F1 comes back: what it usually points to

F1 commonly relates to the oven’s electronic control detecting a problem such as a stuck keypad input, a control fault, or an abnormal temperature-sensing signal.

Quick checks you can do

• If the keypad is wet or greasy, let it dry and clean it with a lightly damp cloth.
• Cancel any cooking mode and try a basic bake cycle.
• If the oven was just used, let it cool completely and retry.
• If the error appears during preheat, the temperature sensor circuit becomes a top suspect.

Parts that commonly solve repeat F1 on this model

If the reset does not hold, these parts are common next steps for diagnosis and repair:

Symptom pattern	Most likely area	Example part for this model
F1 returns immediately at idle	Oven control or keypad/overlay	Range oven control overlay 316633004
F1 appears during heating or preheat	Temperature sensor circuit	Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000

Why it matters

An F1 that keeps returning can prevent the oven from heating correctly or cause the control to stop a cycle for safety. Resetting is a good first step, but repeat codes usually mean a component needs attention.

To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79094172310, we recommend doing a full power reset: turn the range off, cut power at the breaker for 1 to 5 minutes, then restore power and reprogram the clock. This clears many control glitches and false error displays.

Quick reset steps (safe and effective)

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• If the oven is running, press Cancel/Off.
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or unplug the power cord if accessible).
• Wait 1 to 5 minutes.
• Restore power, then set the clock and test Bake and a surface element.

If the reset does not fix it

A reset helps when the electronic control is “stuck”, but it will not correct a failed sensor, heating element, or wiring issue.

• If the oven temperature is inaccurate or you get temperature-related errors, check the oven temperature sensor circuit; the most common fix is replacing the sensor.
• If the oven will not heat in Bake, inspect the bake element for visible damage and test for continuity.
• If the display is dead or the range resets randomly, inspect the terminal block and power cord connections for heat damage or loose connections.

Common parts related to “won’t heat” or “temp issues”

Symptom	Most likely part	What it affects
Oven heats wrong or shows temp error	Oven temperature sensor 316490000	Temperature feedback to control
No Bake heat	Bake element 316407501	Primary baking heat source
Power loss, burning smell at cord area	Range terminal block 5303935271	Main power connection point

Why it matters

Resetting restores normal operation after a power surge or control lockup, but repeated trips, burning smells, or intermittent power usually point to a wiring or terminal block problem that needs correction to prevent further damage.

Installation and wiring note (important)

When checking power connections, follow the wiring diagrams and safety steps in the installation guide. The terminal block connections must be tight, and the factory-installed nuts that secure the internal range wiring should not be loosened.

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right: the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer code, and the remaining digits narrow down the exact product design and feature set. For your Kenmore electric range model 79094172310, the 790 prefix is the key identifier we use to match the correct parts and documentation.

Where to find the model number on a Kenmore range

We see the model number most often on a rating plate in one of these spots:

• Frame area behind the oven door (along the front edge)
• Storage drawer frame (remove the drawer and look on the chassis)
• Back panel of the range
• Side trim or lower front panel area (varies by design)

For diagrams and safety notes tied to your exact unit, use the 79094172310 owner’s manual.

How the Kenmore model number is structured

Kenmore numbers typically follow this pattern:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer code
• Middle digits: base platform or series
• Last digits: engineering revisions, color, feature variations

Quick example for this model

Example	What it tells us	Why it matters
79094172310	790 = manufacturer code; remaining digits = exact configuration	Ensures the right bake element, control board, and wiring parts fit

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

Before ordering a surface element, oven sensor, or control board, we use these checks:

• Match the full model number exactly (all digits)
• Compare the part description to the symptom (heat issue vs. control issue)
• Confirm whether the issue is cooktop or oven related
• Use the wiring and installation notes in the installation guide when dealing with power connections
• If the oven temperature is off, check the sensor first (common on electric ranges)

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges often share similar-looking parts across multiple series, but small model-number differences can change the correct terminal block, surface element control switch, or oven temperature sensor. Using the full 79094172310 number keeps the repair safe and the fit correct.

A Kenmore 79094172310 electric range oven usually stops working because it is not getting full power, a heating component has failed, or a control/safety circuit is preventing heat. Start by confirming the range is wired correctly and has proper voltage, then check common heat-related parts.

Most common causes (and what you’ll notice)

• Power supply problem: display works but oven will not heat, or the range seems “dead” after a breaker trip.
• Failed bake element: no heat in Bake, or slow preheat; sometimes visible blistering or a break in the element.
• Failed broil element: Broil will not heat, or top browning is weak.
• Bad oven temperature sensor: oven heats but temperature is inaccurate, or it shuts off early.
• Control issue: keypad/clock acts erratically, won’t start a cycle, or heats intermittently.
• Door lock problem (self-clean models): oven won’t start heat cycles if the lock circuit is stuck.

Quick checks we recommend first (safe, no disassembly)

• Verify the range is fully plugged in and the double breaker is ON (flip OFF then ON).
• Confirm the range was installed with the correct wiring method (3-wire vs 4-wire) and that terminal block connections were not disturbed; follow the installation guide.
• Try Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, then Broil for 2 minutes to see if one function works and the other does not.
• If the oven light is out, replace the bulb only after power is off at the breaker.

Parts that commonly fix “oven not working” on this model

Symptom	Likely part	Example part for this model
No Bake heat	Bake element	Frigidaire range bake element 316407501
No Broil heat	Broil element	Range broil element 316203301
Temps wrong or unstable	Oven temperature sensor	Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
Oven won’t start after self-clean	Door lock circuit	Range oven door lock motor and switch assembly 5304528973

Why it matters

An electric oven can appear to have power (lights, clock) while still missing one leg of 240V, which prevents proper heating. Correct wiring and secure terminal block connections are essential for safe, reliable operation.

For error messages, use Kenmore 790 range 4-digit error codes to match the code to the most likely failed circuit.

On the Kenmore 79094172310 electric range, the “fuse” people mean is usually a thermal fuse or high-limit safety device mounted on the back of the oven area. You typically access it by removing the rear access panel; it’s commonly positioned near the bake or broil wiring connections.

What you’ll see when you open the back

On most Kenmore electric ranges like model 79094172310, the thermal safety device is in the rear service area where the main oven wiring runs.

• Unplug the range or switch OFF the double-pole breaker before removing any panels
• Pull the range forward carefully to avoid damaging the power cord
• Remove the rear access cover screws and lift the panel off
• Look for a small, flat safety device in-line with wiring (often near the oven cavity wiring harness)
• If you see heat damage, melted connectors, or brittle insulation, stop and correct the wiring issue before replacing parts

For panel removal and safe access points, follow the 79094172310 installation guide.

Quick troubleshooting: fuse vs. other common “no heat” causes

A blown thermal fuse is only one possibility. These checks help narrow it down.

Symptom	More likely cause	What to check first
Oven completely dead (no display)	House power, terminal block, wiring	Breaker, cord connection, terminal block
Display works but no bake heat	Bake circuit issue	Bake element, wiring, control
Broil works but bake doesn’t	Failed bake element	Inspect element for blisters/breaks
Oven temp way off	Sensor issue	Sensor resistance and connector fit

If the oven temperature is erratic or you get heating faults, the oven temperature sensor 316490000 is a common diagnostic item.

Why it matters

The thermal fuse (or high-limit device) is a safety cutoff. If it opens, it usually means the range overheated or had a wiring/connection problem; replacing the fuse without fixing the root cause can lead to repeat failures.

The Kenmore 79094172310 electric range has an oven capacity of 5.3 cubic feet. You can confirm the listed capacity and other specifications in the 79094172310 owner's manual.

Quick ways to verify capacity

If you want to double-check what you have (or compare to another Kenmore range), use these reliable checks:

• Look for the capacity in the specifications section of the manual
• Check the model/serial tag (often on the lower right front frame, sometimes under the cooktop)
• Compare interior dimensions only as a rough cross-check (capacity is based on usable cavity volume)
• Use the installation cutout and clearance info to confirm it is a 30-inch class range

If you want to calculate it yourself (cross-check)

Measuring is useful when comparing usable space for pans, but it will not match the published number exactly.

• Measure usable width (side wall to side wall)
• Measure usable height (oven floor to lowest point of the top interior)
• Measure usable depth (back wall to inside of closed door)
• Multiply inches: W x H x D
• Divide by 1,728 to convert cubic inches to cubic feet

What you use	Formula	Notes
Published capacity	Listed spec	Best for comparisons and shopping
Measured estimate	(W x H x D) / 1,728	Varies with curves, vents, and insulation

Why it matters

Oven capacity determines what fits (large roasters, multiple racks) and helps you choose correctly sized accessories like oven racks and bakeware.
