Kenmore 79094203311 electric range Parts

On the Kenmore 79094203311 electric range, the model and serial number are on the serial plate located on the left side of the warmer drawer frame. Pull the warmer drawer open fully and look along the left side to read the plate (see the 79094203311 owner's manual).

How to find it fast

• Make sure the range is cool and the warmer drawer is empty.
• Pull the warmer drawer straight out to the fully open position.
• Look on the left side of the drawer frame for the serial plate.
• Record both the model number and serial number exactly as shown.
• Use that information when ordering Kenmore range parts or checking wiring diagrams.

What the label typically includes

Label item	What it’s used for	Example of when you need it
Model number	Confirms the exact version of the range	Matching the correct bake element or control board
Serial number	Identifies production run details	Service history, parts lookups, technician support
Electrical ratings	Confirms power requirements	Verifying a terminal block or power cord setup

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges often have multiple versions that look similar. Using the exact model number (and serial number when needed) helps us match the correct parts, such as the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 or the correct surface element control switch, and avoids returns due to fit or wiring differences.

To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79094203311, turn the range off and remove power for a full 5 minutes, then restore power and set the clock. This clears many control glitches and is the safest first step before replacing parts.

Quick reset methods (most common)

• Circuit breaker reset (preferred): Switch the range breaker OFF, wait 5 minutes, then switch it ON.
• Unplug reset: If your range is plugged in, unplug it for 5 minutes, then plug it back in.
• Control panel reset: After power is restored, press Cancel/Off once, then reprogram the clock and any cooking settings.

If the range still acts up after a reset

A reset fixes temporary electronic lockups; it will not correct a failed sensor, heating element, or control.

Common symptoms and what to check next:

• Oven temperature is erratic or you get temperature-related errors: check the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.
• Oven will not bake but broil works (or vice versa): inspect the heating element for blisters or breaks (bake element or broil element).
• Display is blank, beeping, or buttons do not respond: the electronic control may be the issue.

Power and wiring notes (important)

If you recently installed the range or moved it, a “reset” problem can actually be a power connection issue. The installation instructions for this model emphasize keeping terminal block connections secure and not loosening factory-installed nuts.

• Verify the breaker is fully seated (OFF then ON).
• If hardwired, confirm the power cord/terminal block connections are tight.
• If you suspect a loose terminal block connection, disconnect power first and follow the 79094203311 installation guide.

Why it matters

Resetting the control is a fast way to clear minor electronic glitches without replacing parts. If symptoms return quickly, the pattern helps pinpoint whether the issue is power supply, a heating circuit (bake/broil), or a control/sensor problem.

What you see	What a reset can fix	What it usually will not fix
Random beeping or frozen keys	Temporary control glitch	Failed control board or keypad
Oven not starting after power flicker	Control lockup	Burned wire, failed element
Wrong oven temp	Rarely	Bad sensor or calibration issue

An F1 code with beeping on your Kenmore 79094203311 electric range means the oven control has detected a fault condition. We recommend clearing the code with STOP, then doing a power reset; if the code returns, the problem is typically in the electronic oven control or a related input such as the oven temperature sensor.

Quick fix steps (in order)

• Press STOP/CLEAR to silence the beeping and clear the F1.
• Try BAKE or BROIL to see if the code immediately returns.
• Turn power off at the breaker (or unplug if accessible) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Set the clock after power is restored (the control expects this after a reset).
• Try BAKE again and watch for the F1 to reappear.

What usually causes F1 on this model

On the 79094203311, repeated F-code errors point to an internal control fault or a bad signal being read by the control.

Likely cause	What you may notice	Common next step
Electronic oven control issue	Random beeping, F1 returns after reset	Replace the control board (often the fix)
Temperature sensing circuit issue	Temperature seems erratic, F1 during/after heating	Test/replace the sensor
Keypad or overlay input problem	Beeping starts when not cooking, keys act “stuck”	Inspect overlay and wiring connections

Parts that commonly relate to this symptom

• Range oven control board and clock 316650001
• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000

Why it matters

When the control detects a fault, it may disable heating for safety and accuracy. Clearing the code and doing a proper 5-minute power reset helps confirm whether you have a one-time glitch or a repeatable control or sensor problem.

Where to find model-specific guidance

Follow the troubleshooting steps for “control panel beeps and displays any F code error” in the 79094203311 owner's manual.

To tell how old your Kenmore electric range model 79094203311 is, use the serial number from the rating label and match it to the manufacturer date code for that unit. The model number identifies the design series; the serial number identifies your exact build date.

Find the rating label on the range

On most Kenmore electric ranges, the rating label is in one of these common locations:

• Along the oven door frame or door jamb (visible when the door is open)
• Behind the storage drawer (pull the drawer out to look on the frame)
• Behind the lower panel or broiler drawer area (if equipped)
• On the back panel (harder to access once installed)

For the exact label location for this model, check the 79094203311 owner's manual.

Use the serial number to determine the manufacture date

Once you have the serial number, use this process to decode the date:

• Write down the serial number exactly as shown (include letters and numbers)
• Look for a date code pattern (often early characters or a week/year block)
• Compare your serial format to the identification information provided in the 79094203311 owner's manual
• If you still need help, provide the serial number to a technician or parts specialist to translate the date code

What to record from the label

Item	Example format	Why we need it
Model number	79094203311	Confirms the correct product family
Serial number	Letters and numbers	Contains the build date code
Date of purchase (if known)	Month/year	Helps estimate service life and warranty timing

Why it matters

The manufacture date helps us narrow parts and troubleshooting steps for your exact production run, especially for temperature and control issues.

• Oven temperature problems can point to the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
• Display or timing issues can involve the range oven control board and clock 316650001
• Heating issues can involve the frigidaire range bake element 316505500
