Is there a reset button on a Kenmore stove?
Most Kenmore stoves, including the Kenmore Pro dual-fuel range model 79079523604, do not have a single universal “reset button”; instead, you reset specific functions (like control lockout) at the keypad, or you reset the electronic control by cycling power at the breaker as directed in the 79079523604 owner’s manual.
What you can reset on the control panel
Many “reset” situations are really a feature being turned on.
- Oven lockout: press and hold the lockout key for about 3 seconds to toggle it off (then allow time for the door to unlock).
- Kitchen timer: cancel the timer by pressing the timer key again.
- Cooking mode settings: exit a mode by pressing cancel/clear (label varies by console).
- Clock and basic settings: re-set after a power interruption.
How to do a safe power reset (breaker reset)
If the display is frozen, the oven will not start, or the keypad is unresponsive, a power reset often restores normal operation.
- Turn OFF the range circuit at the household breaker.
- Wait 1 to 5 minutes.
- Turn the breaker ON.
- Re-set the clock and test Bake.
Quick check table
| Symptom | Most likely “reset” | What to try first |
|---|---|---|
| Door won’t open, lock icon on | Oven lockout | Hold lockout key 3 seconds |
| Timer beeping or “End” | Timer cancel | Press timer key |
| Display glitch or no response | Power reset | Cycle breaker 1 to 5 minutes |
| Oven temperature seems off | Calibration | Use the temperature adjust steps in the manual |
When a “reset” points to a part problem
If the range repeatedly shuts down during high-heat use (like self-clean) or the oven temperature is erratic after a reset, a failed sensor or control can be involved. For temperature-related faults on this model, the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 is a common component to check.
Why it matters
Using the correct reset method prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps you quickly separate a simple control setting (lockout, timer) from an electrical or temperature-sensing issue.

Why is my Kenmore electric range oven not heating up?
If your Kenmore Pro dual-fuel range model 79079523604 shows the oven is on but it will not heat, the most common causes are a power supply problem, control settings, or a failed heating circuit component such as the oven temperature sensor or an electronic control board. Use the checks below to pinpoint the failure.
Quick checks first (no tools)
- Confirm the clock is set; after a power interruption the display can flash and the oven may not program until the clock is set.
- Verify you are in Bake (not Delay Start or a timed mode) and that a temperature is actually set.
- Check for a power outage or tripped breaker; this range needs correct power to heat.
- Remove any packaging from the oven cavity if the range was recently installed.
- Try a different cooking mode (Bake vs. Broil) to see if any heat function works.
What to test next (with a multimeter)
Before testing, shut off power at the breaker.
- Oven temperature sensor: If the sensor is open/failed, the control may prevent normal heating or heat erratically. Consider replacing the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002.
- Electronic control: If the display works but the oven never energizes the heat circuit, a failed control can be the cause. Consider the frigidaire range oven control board 318601500.
- Wiring connections: Look for loose or heat-damaged connections at the terminal block and harness plugs; repair any damaged wiring.
Symptom-to-likely-cause guide
| What you notice | Most likely causes | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Display flashes after outage; oven won’t start | Clock not set | Set clock per 79079523604 owner’s manual |
| No heat in Bake and Broil | Power supply issue, control, wiring | Check breaker, then test control output |
| Oven heats inconsistently | Temperature sensor drifting, connection issue | Test sensor, inspect harness |
| Surface burners work but oven won’t heat | Oven circuit issue (sensor/control/wiring) | Test sensor and control |
Why it matters
An oven that will not heat is often a control or sensing issue, but it can also be a power supply problem. Correct diagnosis prevents replacing expensive parts unnecessarily and helps restore safe, reliable baking performance.

Why is the burner not working on my Kenmore stove?
On your Kenmore Pro dual-fuel range model 79079523604, a surface burner usually stops working because the control knob is not fully set to LITE, the gas supply is off, the burner ports are clogged, or the burner cap/head is not seated correctly (which can prevent ignition). Use the steps in the 79079523604 owner's manual to restore normal lighting and flame.
Quick checks (most common fixes)
- Push in and turn the correct knob fully to LITE until the burner ignites, then adjust the flame.
- Confirm the gas supply valve is open.
- Make sure the burner head and burner cap are installed in the correct order and fully seated.
- Clean clogged burner ports/slots with a small-gauge wire or needle (burner OFF and cool).
- If your model uses electric ignition, verify the power cord is plugged in and the outlet has power.
- After a power outage, use the manual’s manual-lighting instructions for surface burners.
Cleaning and re-seating the burner parts
Keeping the sealed burner ports clean prevents uneven flame and ignition problems.
Recommended order (remove and reinstall):
| Step | Remove | Reinstall |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Burner grates | Burner heads |
| 2 | Burner caps | Burner caps |
| 3 | Burner heads | Burner grates |
Important notes:
- Let everything cool completely before handling.
- Do not operate a burner without the cap and head properly in place.
- Re-seat caps carefully so the electrode is not damaged (misalignment can cause delayed ignition).
When it points to a part problem
If one burner consistently will not light after cleaning and proper reassembly, the issue is often ignition-related (spark system) or a control issue. For temperature-related oven problems (not a surface burner), a failed sensor can cause poor baking and error symptoms; the model-specific replacement is the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002.
Why it matters
A burner that does not ignite or burns unevenly can waste gas, cook inconsistently, and create nuisance clicking from the igniter. Correct cap placement and clean ports restore proper flame shape and safer operation.
