What was the size of the Kenmore 79093022310 oven?
The Kenmore 79093022310 is a standard freestanding electric range; most ranges in this class have an exterior footprint close to 30 inches wide and about 25 to 29 inches deep (not including the handle). For the exact dimensions for your unit, use the measurements listed in the 79093022310 owner's manual and the 79093022310 installation guide.
Ranges are described a few different ways; measuring the right one prevents fit and clearance problems.
- Overall width: left-to-right across the front
- Overall depth: front-to-back (measure with and without the door handle)
- Overall height: floor to the top of the backguard/control panel
- Oven capacity: interior volume (cubic feet), not the same as exterior size
- Cutout/clearances: space needed around the range for safe installation and venting
- Turn the range off and let it cool.
- Measure width across the widest point of the cooktop.
- Measure depth from the back to the front edge; then measure again to the front of the handle.
- Measure height from the floor to the highest point.
- Compare your numbers to the dimension and clearance requirements in the installation instructions.
| Measurement | Typical for 30-in freestanding electric ranges | What to use for 79093022310 |
|---|---|---|
| Width | ~29 7/8 in to 30 in | Manual/install guide dimensions |
| Depth (no handle) | ~25 in to 27 in | Manual/install guide dimensions |
| Depth (with handle) | ~27 in to 29 in | Manual/install guide dimensions |
| Height | ~46 in to 48 in | Manual/install guide dimensions |
Correct dimensions help the Kenmore 79093022310 sit level, maintain required clearances, and avoid pinching the power cord at the rear terminal area. It also helps ensure the oven venting area is not blocked during normal use.

How to reset Kenmore oven model 79093022310?
To reset your Kenmore range model 79093022310, turn the range off and cycle power at the breaker (or unplug it) for a few minutes, then restore power and reset the clock and any oven settings. This clears many control glitches after a power interruption.
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- Turn OFF the range circuit breaker (or unplug the power cord).
- Wait 3 to 5 minutes.
- Turn the breaker ON again (or plug the range back in).
- Set the clock and reselect any oven function settings (bake, broil, timer) as needed.
These checks help separate a simple reset issue from a power or heating problem:
- Confirm the breaker is fully reset (flip OFF, then ON).
- Check that the range is getting full power (many electric ranges require 240V).
- Try Bake and Broil separately to see if one mode works.
- If the oven heats unevenly or not at all, inspect the bake element for visible damage; a failed element is a common cause.
| Symptom after reset | Most likely direction | Common next step |
|---|---|---|
| Clock flashes, oven works | Normal after power loss | Set clock per 79093022310 owner's manual |
| Display works, no bake heat | Heating circuit issue | Check/replace range bake element 316075103 if damaged |
| Error code shows | Control detected a fault | Use Kenmore 790 self-cleaning range error codes to identify the code |
A power-cycle reset restores the electronic oven control to a known state. On model 79093022310, the manual notes that after power resumes you should reset the clock and oven function; doing that prevents timing features and some cooking functions from acting unpredictably.

Can you replace the oven heating element in a Kenmore oven?
Yes. On the Kenmore range model 79093022310, you can replace the oven heating (bake) element yourself if you can safely shut off power and access the element mounting screws and wire terminals; always work with the range unplugged and the oven fully cool (see the 79093022310 owner's manual).
- Correct replacement bake element (match by model)
- Phillips or 1/4-in nut driver (varies by screw type)
- Work gloves (cut and burn protection)
- Flashlight
- Optional: needle-nose pliers for connectors
- Shut off power: Unplug the range or switch the breaker off.
- Let the oven cool completely: Heating elements can stay hot after they look dark.
- Remove oven racks for working room.
- Remove the element mounting screws inside the oven (usually at the rear).
- Pull the element forward a few inches to expose the wire terminals.
- Disconnect the wires from the element terminals (hold the connector, not the wire).
- Connect the wires to the new element, then tuck wires back through the opening.
- Reinstall mounting screws, reinstall racks, restore power, and test Bake.
For model 79093022310, the bake element listed for this range is the range bake element 316075103.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| Oven won’t heat on Bake | Failed bake element | Look for blisters, cracks, or a hole in the element |
| Oven heats unevenly | Weak bake element or sensor issue | Verify element glows; consider the temperature sensor |
| Breaker trips when baking | Shorted element or wiring | Inspect terminals and wiring for burns before powering on |
A failing bake element can cause no-heat, slow preheat, or uneven baking. Replacing it restores normal oven temperature control and helps prevent overheating at damaged terminals.
