Where is Kenmore's model number?
On Kenmore electric range model 79096419408, the model and serial number are printed on an identification (serial) plate located on the right side of the oven front frame, inside the storage drawer or warmer drawer compartment. Use the drawer opening to view the plate.
How to find it on model 79096419408
- Turn the range off and let it cool.
- Pull the storage drawer or warmer drawer fully open.
- Look at the right side of the oven front frame (the frame around the oven opening, behind the drawer).
- Use a flashlight; the plate can be easy to miss.
- Write down both the model number and serial number for parts lookup and service.
What the ID plate looks like (and what to record)
Most Kenmore ranges use a small label or metal plate with these fields:
| Field | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Model number | Matching the correct parts diagrams and replacement parts |
| Serial number | Identifying the production run and compatible revisions |
| Date of purchase (your record) | Warranty and service history |
Why it matters
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore parts list for your exact electric range configuration (surface elements, oven controls, wiring harnesses, and control panel parts can vary by revision).

- 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

|---|---|---|
| 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.
