Kenmore 79096122409 electric range Parts

To reset the Kenmore electric range model 79096122409, turn the oven controls off, then reset power by switching the range circuit breaker off and back on. After power is restored, reset the clock and reselect your oven function as needed (bake, broil, timer).

Quick reset steps (power reset)

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• Set the oven to OFF/Cancel.
• Switch the range breaker OFF for about 1 minute.
• Switch the breaker ON.
• Reset the clock and then test Bake or Broil.

For control-specific steps and safety notes, follow the 79096122409 owner's manual.

If the control is “locked” (not a power reset)

This model has an oven lockout feature that can make the keypad seem unresponsive. If you see “LOC” or the door lock indicator is on, cancel lockout:

• Press and hold the oven lockout pad for 3 seconds.
• Wait about 15 seconds for the door lock motor to finish.
• Confirm the display returns to the time of day.

What to check after resetting

Use this checklist to narrow down whether you had a simple control glitch or a part issue:

• Display is blank: check the breaker, power cord, and terminal connections.
• Oven heats poorly or is inaccurate: test with an oven thermometer; the sensor may be the issue.
• Broil works but bake does not (or vice versa): suspect a failed heating element.
• Error code returns immediately: troubleshoot the specific code.

Symptom after reset	Most likely area	Common next step
No heat in bake	Bake circuit/element	Inspect and ohm-test the element 316407501
Temperature swings	Sensor/control	Check the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
Error code on display	Control/sensor/wiring	Use Kenmore 790 range 4-digit error codes

Why it matters

A reset clears temporary control faults after a power interruption, but it also helps you confirm whether the problem is a repeating failure (like a bad bake element, temperature sensor, or wiring) that needs repair.

On Kenmore range model 79096122409, an E0 F2 (sometimes shown as EO F2) display points to an electronic control problem, most often a keypad (touchpad) input issue or an oven control fault. Start by clearing the code with STOP/CLEAR and resetting power.

What to do first (safe reset steps)

• Press STOP/CLEAR to clear the display and stop the beeping.
• Turn the range OFF at the circuit breaker for about 5 minutes, then restore power.
• If the code returns immediately, avoid using Bake/Broil until the issue is corrected.
• If the control panel was recently cleaned, let it dry fully; moisture can trigger false key signals.
• Check that no buttons are stuck or being pressed by a misaligned control overlay.

Quick checks that often pinpoint the cause

Many E0 F2 events are caused by a “stuck key” condition or a failing touchpad ribbon connection.

• Inspect the control panel for stuck, damaged, or unresponsive keys.
• If you can access the back of the control, reseat the keypad ribbon cable (unplug power first).
• If the oven temperature seems inaccurate (separate issue), use the calibration steps in the 79096122409 owner's manual.

Common symptoms and likely fixes

What you notice	Most likely cause	What usually fixes it
Beeping with E0 F2 right after power-up	Keypad signal fault	Keypad/control overlay or touchpad service
Code appears after cleaning the panel	Moisture under keypad	Dry time, gentle cleaning habits
Random beeps, intermittent code	Loose ribbon connection or failing control	Reseat connection, then replace failed component

Parts that may be involved

If troubleshooting points to a control input problem, these model-related parts are commonly checked during diagnosis:

• Range control overlay 316419141 (overlay can contribute if it’s peeling or misaligned)
• Range control overlay 316419137 (alternate overlay option depending on finish)

Why it matters

An E0 F2 condition can disable normal oven operation and may cause unexpected beeping or unresponsive controls. Clearing the code and confirming the keypad and control connections helps prevent repeat shutdowns and restores reliable Bake and Broil use.

For the Kenmore electric range model 79096122409, the overall width is 30 inches (the cabinet opening is typically 30 inches wide as well). We use the exact clearance and dimension diagram in the 79096122409 installation guide to size the cutout and confirm fit.

Model 79096122409 overall dimensions (from the installation guide)

• Overall width: 30 in.
• Overall depth: about 25-3/4 in. (body)
• Depth with door handle: 28-13/32 in.
• Overall height: about 46-1/8 in. to 46-5/8 in. (varies by leveling legs)

Measurement	What it means	Typical use
30 in. width	Side-to-side outside dimension	Cabinet opening and countertop fit
25-3/4 in. depth	Front-to-back range body	Planning clearances behind the unit
28-13/32 in. depth	Depth including handle	Door swing and walkway clearance

How to measure your range width correctly

• Measure across the widest point of the range top, left to right.
• Measure with the range pushed back into its normal position.
• Do not include the oven door when it is open.
• If you are checking a cabinet opening, measure inside-to-inside of the cutout.

Why it matters

Using the correct width prevents installation problems like rubbing against cabinets, misaligned anti-tip bracket placement, and insufficient side clearance near combustible surfaces.

For the full clearance diagram and cabinet spacing notes, use the 79096122409 installation guide.
