To reset a Kenmore electric range model 79096419408, turn the range OFF, then reset power at the circuit breaker for 1 to 5 minutes and restore power. After power returns, reset the clock and any oven settings per the 79096419408 owner's manual.

Quick reset steps (most common)

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• Press STOP/CLEAR once to cancel any active cooking cycle.
• At your home electrical panel, switch the range breaker OFF.
• Wait 1 to 5 minutes (this clears the electronic control).
• Switch the breaker ON.
• Set the time of day and re-enter any desired bake or timer settings.

If the control is locked (it can look like the oven is “stuck”)

This model has an oven lockout feature. If you see “LOC” or the controls do not respond, cancel lockout:

• Press and hold STOP/CLEAR for 3 seconds.
• Wait about 15 seconds for the door lock motor to finish unlocking.
• Try setting BAKE again.

What to check after a reset

Symptom after reset	Most likely cause	What to do next
Display is blank	No power to range	Check breaker, outlet, and cord connection
“LOC” shows	Oven lockout is on	Hold STOP/CLEAR 3 seconds
Cooktop works, oven will not heat	Heating circuit issue	Test bake and broil functions; inspect elements
Hot surface light stays on	Stuck indicator circuit or switch	Follow range hot surface light wont turn off video steps

Why it matters

A breaker reset clears many temporary electronic control glitches, but it also restores power immediately. For safety, we always keep knobs OFF before restoring power so the range does not start heating unexpectedly.
