How to find Kenmore Range model number?
For a Kenmore electric range like model 79092204014, the model number is printed on a rating label attached to the range cabinet. Most often, you will find it in the oven door area (door jamb/frame) or on the back of the range near the vent.
- Open the oven door and check the door jamb/frame around the opening
- Pull out the storage/warming drawer and look on the frame behind it
- Check the back panel of the range near the upper vent
- Look along the side frame just behind the control panel area
- If the range is slide-in, check the lower side trim area near the front
The label usually includes:
- Model number (example: 79092204014)
- Serial number
- Electrical ratings (volts/amps)
- Sometimes a barcode
If the label is greasy or faded, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and a drop of dish soap, then dry it.
Once you have the full model number, use it to match parts and diagrams and to confirm features in the 79092204014 owner's manual.
| You see this | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 790.92204014 (with a dot) | Same model family format | Use the full digits when searching parts |
| Missing digits or unreadable | Partial model number | Re-check door jamb and behind the drawer |
| Serial only | Not enough to identify parts | Find the model number line on the same label |
Kenmore ranges can look similar across multiple 790-series models, but parts like a bake element, oven temperature sensor, or surface element control switch can vary by model. Using the exact model number helps ensure the correct fit and wiring match.

What is the width of a Kenmore range?
Most Kenmore electric ranges, including model 79092204014, are about 30 inches wide (standard freestanding/slide-in range width). For the exact cabinet cutout and clearance requirements for your specific installation, use the 79092204014 owner's manual.
Most Kenmore ranges fall into these common size groups:
- 20 inches: compact apartment-size ranges
- 24 inches: smaller compact ranges
- 30 inches: most common full-size range
- 36 inches: pro-style or oversized models
Because trim, side panels, and control styles can affect the overall measurement, we recommend confirming with a quick check:
- Measure left-to-right across the widest point (often the cooktop edge)
- Measure with the range in its final position (not angled out)
- Verify rear clearance for the power cord and anti-tip bracket
- Compare your measurement to the dimensions and clearances in the 79092204014 owner's manual
| What you’re measuring | What you’ll usually see | Why it can differ |
|---|---|---|
| Overall exterior width | ~29 7/8 in to 30 in | Cooktop lip and side trim vary |
| Cabinet opening | ~30 in | Depends on required clearances |
| Depth (front to back) | ~25 in to 28+ in | Door handle and controls add depth |
Width affects fit, ventilation clearances, and anti-tip bracket placement. Using the correct dimensions helps prevent installation issues and protects the power connection at the terminal block.

How to reset Kenmore oven model 79092204014?
To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79092204014, we recommend doing a full power reset: turn the range off, cut power at the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power and set the clock. This clears many control glitches and false error displays.
- Turn all surface burners and the oven off.
- Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or unplug the range if it’s accessible).
- Wait 5 minutes.
- Restore power (breaker ON or plug back in).
- Re-set the clock and test Bake and Broil.
If you need the exact control sequence for your keypad style, use the 79092204014 owner's manual.
A reset can clear a temporary fault, but a repeating code usually points to a failed sensor, keypad, or control circuit.
- Write down the exact code (example: F10, F30, etc.).
- Try the power reset one more time.
- If the code returns, troubleshoot by code family using Kenmore 790 range 4-digit error codes.
| Symptom after reset | Most common suspect | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven temperature is wildly off, error returns | Oven temperature sensor | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| Oven won’t heat but broil works (or vice versa) | Failed heating element | Frigidaire range bake element 316407501 or frigidaire range broil element 316203301 |
A proper reset restores the electronic oven control to a known “start” state. If the problem comes back immediately, the range is usually detecting a real issue (like a bad temperature sensor or a heating circuit problem), and replacing the right part prevents repeat shutdowns.
