Kenmore Elite 79097713410 electric range Parts

Kenmore Elite ranges like model 79097713410 do not use a dedicated “reset button.” When the control needs a reset after a glitch or power interruption, we reset it by turning power off at the breaker (or unplugging if accessible), then restoring power and resetting the clock and oven function per the 79097713410 owner's manual.

How to reset the control safely (power reset)

• Turn OFF the range circuit breaker (or remove the fuse) for 1 to 5 minutes.
• Turn the breaker ON.
• Set the clock, then reselect your bake/broil settings.
• If the oven was running when power failed, make sure all oven functions are OFF before restarting.
• If the range is hardwired, do not pull it out; use the breaker.

What a “reset” fixes (and what it does not)

A power reset clears many temporary electronic-control issues, but it will not fix a failed heating or sensing component.

Symptom	Likely cause	Best next step
Display frozen or unresponsive	Control glitch	Do the power reset steps above
Oven temperature is inaccurate	Sensor drifting	Test/replace range oven temperature sensor 5304504897
Oven overheats or shuts down	Overheat protection issue	Check wiring, then test range high-limit thermostat 318004902
Broil will not heat	Failed broil element	Inspect and test range broil element 5304521498

Why it matters

On this Kenmore Elite electric range, the electronic control can resume operation when power returns. Resetting power and then resetting the clock and oven function helps you regain normal control and prevents unexpected operation after an outage.

Yes. Kenmore Elite is Kenmore’s premium line, and your Kenmore Elite electric range model 79097713410 is built to deliver higher-end cooking performance and features compared with standard Kenmore models, with a focus on fit, finish, and advanced oven and cooktop operation.

What “high end” means for Kenmore Elite ranges

Kenmore Elite typically sits above the core Kenmore lineup because it is designed around more premium cooking results and convenience features.

Common high-end traits you’ll see in this class of electric range include:

• More precise oven temperature control for baking and roasting
• A ceramic glass cooktop with radiant elements (often multi-size)
• Convection cooking components (fan motor and blade) for more even heat
• More advanced electronic controls and diagnostics
• Heavier-duty door hardware and improved insulation for heat retention

How we see that reflected on model 79097713410

For this specific Kenmore Elite range, the parts list supports the “premium” positioning because it includes components commonly found on higher-feature models.

Feature area	Example component on this model	What it affects
Oven temperature accuracy	Range oven temperature sensor 5304504897	Helps the control maintain stable baking temperatures
Convection performance	Convection fan motor, fan blade, mounting hardware	Improves heat circulation for more even cooking
Cooktop capability	Triple radiant surface element	Supports flexible pan sizes and higher output

Why it matters when buying parts or troubleshooting

Higher-end ranges rely more on sensors, control boards, and safety thermostats. That means symptoms like temperature swings, uneven baking, or elements not heating often trace back to a specific electrical part rather than a simple mechanical adjustment.

A good next step is to use the wiring diagrams, diagnostics, and operating details in the 79097713410 owner’s manual before ordering parts.

For your Kenmore Elite electric range model 79097713410, the model number is printed on the serial plate (model and serial tag). On this range, the Use & Care Guide shows the serial plate location so you can read and record the model and serial numbers accurately.

Where to look on the range

The model and serial numbers are on the serial plate. The owner's manual shows a diagram labeled “Location of serial plate” to help you spot it quickly.

Common places to check on electric ranges like this include:

• The oven frame behind the oven door (around the door opening)
• The lower drawer frame (storage or warming drawer area)
• The side trim or frame near the bottom front
• The back panel (less common for day-to-day access)

How to read the number correctly

Once you find the tag, copy the model number exactly as printed.

Tips that prevent ordering the wrong parts:

• Write down both the model number and serial number
• Copy every digit; do not drop leading zeros
• Look for punctuation on the tag (some tags show a dot format like 790.9771xxxx)
• Use the model number when matching parts like a control board, surface element, or temperature sensor

Why it matters

Kenmore Elite ranges often share similar styling across multiple model series; the exact model number ensures the correct fit for electrical parts, oven controls, and cooktop elements.
