Kenmore 79049443412 wall oven Parts

If you have a Kenmore built-in electric wall oven, the model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label; for this parts page, the model is 79049443412. We use that full model number to match the correct parts list, wiring, and installation specs.

Where to find the model number on a Kenmore wall oven

Check these common locations first (use a flashlight and look for a sticker or metal tag):

• Along the oven frame behind the door (open the door and look around the front frame)
• On the side trim area visible when the door is open
• On the lower edge of the control panel frame
• On the oven cavity frame near the hinge area
• In the installation paperwork that came with the oven

For diagrams and label-location details, use the 79049443412 owner's manual.

How to read the model number correctly

Kenmore model numbers must be copied exactly; one missing digit can pull the wrong wall oven parts.

What to capture	Example for this model	Why it matters
Model number	79049443412	Identifies the correct parts breakdown
Series/prefix	790	Helps narrow to the correct Kenmore wall oven family
Color code (if shown)	Varies	Can affect trim, handle, and panel parts

If your label is hard to read

Use these quick tips to avoid ordering the wrong part:

• Take a clear photo straight-on, then zoom in
• Write down every digit before and after the decimal (if present)
• If the label is heat-stained, try viewing it at an angle under bright light
• Match your oven type: built-in wall oven (not a freestanding range)

Once you confirm the model, you can order replacement parts from the parts list for Kenmore 79049443412, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

Why it matters

Kenmore wall ovens often share similar styling across model families, but internal components (like the control, wire harness, or temperature sensor) can differ by revision. Using the exact model number keeps troubleshooting and part selection accurate.

Kenmore model numbers identify who built the appliance and which product family it belongs to. For your Kenmore wall oven model 79049443412, the 790 prefix is the key clue; it points to the manufacturer family used for many Kenmore cooking products, and the rest of the digits narrow down the exact series and feature set (which matters when ordering parts).

Where to find the model and serial number

For Kenmore wall ovens like 79049443412, we use the serial plate information to match the correct parts list.

• Open the oven door.
• Look along the interior side trim of the oven.
• Find the serial plate; it is visible with the door open.
• Write down the model number, serial number, and any lot number or letter shown.

For diagrams and the exact serial plate location notes, use the installation guide.

How to interpret a Kenmore model number (quick breakdown)

Kenmore numbers are typically read left to right.

• Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer code (most important for parts matching)
• Middle digits: product series and design platform
• Last digits: specific configuration (finish, options, revisions)

Example using your model

Section	Example	What it tells you
Manufacturer prefix	790	Which manufacturer family built it
Model family/series	4944	Series/platform identifier
Configuration/revision	3412	Exact version used to match parts

Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting

Using the full model number prevents ordering the wrong control, sensor, or heating component. For example, if your oven is not heating accurately, the correct temperature sensor for this model is the cooking appliance oven temperature sensor 5304504897.

If you are diagnosing a display fault or beeping, we also use the model family to choose the right error code chart; see Kenmore 790 manual clean wall oven error codes.

Tips when ordering parts

• Match the entire model number (all digits) before selecting a part.
• Use the serial plate info if there are multiple similar Kenmore 790 models.
• If the oven overheats or shuts down, also check safety devices such as the high-limit thermostat (model-specific matching still matters).
• Order directly from the parts list for model 79049443412, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

For Kenmore model 79049443412, the most reliable way to tell the oven’s age is to read the serial number on the appliance rating plate and decode the date code. The model number identifies the design; the serial number ties to when your unit was built.

Find the rating plate (model and serial)

Check these common locations on a Kenmore wall oven:

• Along the oven frame behind the door (visible with the door open)
• On the side trim area of the oven frame
• Near the lower edge of the control panel area
• On your installation paperwork

Label location and identification details are also shown in the 79049443412 owner's manual.

Decode the serial number

Use this process to estimate the manufacturing date:

• Write down the full serial number exactly (letters and numbers)
• Identify the date-code characters (often the first few characters)
• Match those characters to the Kenmore date-code format used for your serial tag
• Use your receipt or install date as a “no later than” reference point

Quick accuracy check

• Use the serial from the oven’s rating plate, not from a replacement part
• Double-check lookalikes (O vs 0, I vs 1)
• If the control panel was replaced, the oven can look newer than it is

Item	What it tells you	Best use
Model number 79049443412	Series/configuration	Parts matching
Serial number (rating plate)	Build date code	Age estimate
Receipt/install date	In-service date	Timeline check

Why it matters

Knowing the age helps us narrow down likely wear items and choose the right repair approach for heating issues, fan problems, and error codes. If you’re also seeing a fault code, use the Kenmore 790 manual clean wall oven error codes guide.

To reset your Kenmore wall oven model 79049443412, use one of these resets: (1) restore the control to factory defaults (oven idle, press and hold 7 about 6 seconds, then press START), or (2) power-cycle the oven at the breaker, then reset the clock. Steps and key locations are shown in the owner's manual.

Reset options (use the one that matches your symptom)

• Control acting odd or settings changed: do the factory-default reset (hold 7, then START).
• After a power outage: turn the oven off, then reset the clock and cooking function.
• Display shows “Loc” or door is locked: turn off lockout by pressing and holding the lockout key for 3 seconds.
• Frozen keypad: power-cycle at the circuit breaker for 1 minute, then restore power.

Step-by-step: factory-default reset (restores original preferences)

1. Make sure the oven is idle (no Bake, Broil, or Self-Clean running).
2. Press and hold the 7 key until the acceptance tone sounds (about 6 seconds).
3. Press START.

What this reset changes

• 12 or 24-hour display mode
• Continuous bake or 12-hour energy-savings mode
• Silent or audible control tones
• Fahrenheit or Celsius display
• Oven temperature offset (calibration)
• Stored recipes (cleared)

Quick comparison

Situation	Best reset	Result
Preferences seem wrong, temps “off” after calibration	Factory-default reset	Restores original control settings
Power flicker or outage	Reset clock and function	Normal operation resumes
“Loc” displayed, door won’t open	Disable lockout	Door unlocks and oven can start

Why it matters

A reset clears incorrect control settings (like temperature offset or energy-savings mode) that can make the oven seem like it is not heating correctly even when the bake and broil circuits are fine.

If a reset does not fix heating

A no-heat or uneven-heat problem is usually a failed heating or sensing part. Common checks include the cooking appliance oven temperature sensor 5304504897 and the wall oven bake element 318601604. You can order parts from the list for model 79049443412 or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
