Kenmore 79094149313 electric range Parts

Yes. On the Kenmore 79094149313 electric range, you can replace a failed oven heating element (bake element) as a DIY repair if you shut off power first and handle the wiring carefully. A visibly blistered, cracked, or arced element is a strong sign it needs replacement.

What to do before you start

• Turn off power at the circuit breaker (electric ranges are typically 240V).
• Let the oven cool completely.
• Pull the range forward only as needed; protect the floor.
• Use gloves; sheet metal edges can be sharp.
• Confirm you are replacing the correct part for the symptom (bake vs. broil).

Basic replacement steps (bake element)

Most Kenmore electric ranges replace the bake element from inside the oven cavity.

1. Remove oven racks.
2. Remove the mounting screws holding the bake element to the rear oven wall.
3. Gently pull the element forward a few inches to expose the wire terminals.
4. Disconnect the wires (hold the connector, not the wire).
5. Connect the wires to the new element, tuck wires back through the opening, and reinstall screws.
6. Restore power and test Bake.

A common replacement for this model is the frigidaire range bake element 316075103.

Quick symptom guide

Symptom	Most likely cause	Common part to check
Oven will not heat in Bake	Burned/open bake element	Frigidaire range bake element 316075103
Oven heats unevenly or temp is off	Sensor out of range	Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
Broil does not work but Bake does	Failed broil element	Frigidaire range broil element 316203200

Why it matters

A weak or open heating element prevents the oven from reaching set temperature, which leads to undercooked food, long preheat times, and inconsistent baking results.

Helpful tip from the manual

For safety, follow the power-off guidance and service cautions in the owner's manual before replacing parts.

Your Kenmore stove’s model number is printed on the appliance ID label, usually around the oven door frame, inside the storage drawer opening, or on the back panel. For Kenmore electric ranges like model 79094149313, the manual also shows the model format (for example, 790.9414*). See the owner's manual for label location and model format details.

Where to look on a Kenmore range

Check these common spots first (use a flashlight and look for a sticker or metal plate):

• Oven door frame or the front frame behind the door
• Inside the bottom storage drawer opening (around the frame)
• Back of the range (rear panel area)
• Under the cooktop (only if your cooktop lifts up on hinges)

What the model number looks like

On Kenmore ranges, the model number is typically labeled as Model, Model No., or MOD. It is usually a long number string.

Here are examples of what you might see:

What you see on the label	What it means
79094149313	Full Kenmore model number used for parts lookup
790.9414*	Model series format shown in the Use & Care Guide (the * indicates a color code)

Why it matters

The exact model number ensures you get the right parts and instructions for your specific range. Even small differences (like a color code or series variation) can change which bake element, oven temperature sensor, or control switch fits.

Tips for reading the label correctly

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (include all digits)
• If there’s a dot (example: 790.9414*), also note the full number version if shown
• Write down the serial number too; it helps identify production variations
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in to read it

To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79094149313, turn the range off at the circuit breaker (or unplug it if accessible) for about 1 minute, then restore power. After power returns, reset the clock and reselect any cooking function as needed (see the owner's manual).

Quick reset steps (power cycle)

• Turn all surface and oven controls to OFF.
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or unplug the cord if you can reach it safely).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Turn the breaker ON (or plug the cord back in).
• Set the clock, then test Bake and a surface element.

If the display shows “LOC” (control lock is on)

This model has an oven lock feature that disables the keys. To unlock:

• Confirm the oven door is fully closed.
• Press and hold OVEN LOCK for 3 seconds.
• Wait about 15 seconds for the latch motor to finish unlocking.
• Try the keypad again.

What to check after a reset

Symptom after reset	Most common cause	What to do next
Oven still will not heat	Failed heating circuit part	Inspect the frigidaire range bake element 316075103 for visible damage; then test heating on Bake
Oven temperature is inaccurate	Sensor issue	Check the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 and run a temperature test
Door will not open after Self Clean	Oven still hot or latch engaged	Wait for cooling; do not force the door; unlock using OVEN LOCK

Why it matters

A reset clears many control glitches after a power interruption, but it does not fix a failed bake element, temperature sensor, or door lock mechanism. Doing the reset first helps you confirm whether you have a control issue or a part failure.

For the Kenmore 79094149313 electric range, the installation requirements indicate a 30-inch range width for the opening and fit. For the actual oven cavity (capacity in cubic feet) and exact exterior height and depth, use the dimensions listed in the installation guide.

What “size” usually means for an oven

Most customers mean one of these:

• Overall range width (the cabinet opening size)
• Overall exterior dimensions (height, width, depth)
• Oven capacity (cubic feet)
• Oven interior dimensions (rack width and usable depth)

For model 79094149313, the install document supports the common 30-inch freestanding range width.

How to find the exact dimensions for 79094149313

We recommend pulling the dimension diagram and spec callouts from the installation guide. Use those measurements for:

• Countertop and cabinet cutout planning
• Clearance to walls and cabinets
• Depth planning (including door handle clearance)
• Anti-tip and rear clearance requirements

Quick fit checklist (common planning items)

• Confirm you have a 30-inch opening
• Verify required clearances to combustibles and cabinets
• Avoid storage directly above surface elements (or use a hood that projects outward)
• Do not block the oven vent under the control panel

Common 30-inch range dimension ranges (helpful for planning)

These are typical for many Kenmore 30-inch electric ranges; confirm your exact numbers in the installation guide.

Measurement	Typical range	What affects it
Width	~29 7/8" to 30"	Side trim and leveling
Height	~36" to 37"	Leveling legs
Depth (to door)	~25" to 28"	Door design
Depth (to handle)	~27" to 30"	Handle style

Why it matters

Using the correct model-specific dimensions prevents cabinet damage, heat clearance problems, and installation issues. It also helps avoid ordering parts that do not match your exact configuration.
