Where can I find my Kenmore Elite oven model number?
For your Kenmore electric range model 91195502000, the model number is printed on a rating label attached to the appliance. We most often see it in the oven door jamb (around the frame when you open the oven door) or on the frame behind the lower storage drawer.
Common places to check on a Kenmore range
- Open the oven door and look along the left or right door jamb.
- Pull out the bottom storage drawer and look on the frame behind it.
- Check the back panel near the power cord entry and vent area.
- Look along the side frame (sometimes visible when the drawer is removed).
- If the label is worn, use a flashlight and take a close-up photo to zoom in.
What the label looks like (and what to write down)
The label usually includes several identifiers. We recommend recording these exactly:
| Label item | Example | Why you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 91195502000 | Matches the correct parts list and diagrams |
| Serial number | (varies) | Helps identify production run details |
| Electrical rating | 240V / amps | Useful for troubleshooting and safe testing |
Why it matters
Kenmore ranges often have similar-looking doors, elements, and control parts across multiple models. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct bake element, broil element, temperature sensor, and other range parts the first time.
If you are checking the model number to order a common part
Once you confirm the model number, you can match parts by function and symptoms, for example:
- Oven light not working: range oven light bulb 40A15
- Oven not baking evenly or not heating: g.e. range bake element WB44T10010
- Oven temperature seems inaccurate: wall oven temperature sensor WB23X5340

How do you reset a Kenmore electric stove?
To reset your Kenmore electric range model 91195502000, do a power reset: turn the range off at the breaker (or unplug it) for about 1 minute, then restore power. This clears many control glitches and restores normal heating and display operation.
Quick reset steps (safe and effective)
- Turn all surface burners and the oven to OFF.
- Unplug the range, or switch the range circuit breaker OFF.
- Wait 60 seconds (a full minute is ideal).
- Restore power (plug back in or turn breaker ON).
- Set the clock if needed, then test Bake and a surface element.
What to check after the reset
If the range still will not heat or behaves oddly, these checks narrow it down fast:
- Confirm the breaker is fully reset (flip OFF, then ON).
- Try Broil; if broil works but bake does not, the bake circuit is the likely issue.
- Look for a visibly damaged bake element (blisters, cracks, burned spots).
- If the oven temperature is erratic, the sensor circuit is a common cause.
- If the oven light is out, test the bulb and socket (not a reset issue).
Common “no heat” causes and matching parts
| Symptom | Most likely area | Part to consider |
|---|---|---|
| No bake, broil works | Bake heating circuit | G.e. range bake element WB44T10010 |
| No broil, bake works | Broil heating circuit | Range broil element WB44T10009 |
| Oven heats but temp is inaccurate | Temperature sensing | Wall oven temperature sensor WB23X5340 |
| Oven light does not work | Light circuit | Range oven light bulb 40A15 or range light socket WB08T10026 |
Why it matters
A power reset clears minor electronic lockups, but it will not fix an open heating element, failed temperature sensor, or a burned connection. Checking bake, broil, and temperature behavior right after the reset helps you avoid replacing the wrong part.

What is a common problem of the electric oven?
A common problem with the Kenmore 91195502000 electric oven is incorrect or uneven heating, which usually traces to a failed bake element, a bad temperature sensor, or a door that is not sealing. Another frequent issue is the oven light not working due to a burned-out bulb or socket.
Most common symptoms (and what they usually mean)
- Food undercooks or overcooks: temperature sensing or heat output problem
- Oven will not heat in Bake: failed bake element or power supply issue
- Broil works but Bake does not (or vice versa): the non-working element is often the cause
- Long preheat times: weak element, poor door seal, or sensor drift
- Oven light out: bulb or socket failure
Quick checks we recommend first (safe, no tools)
- Confirm the range is getting full power (electric ranges typically need 240 VAC to heat properly).
- Try Bake and Broil separately; note which mode fails.
- Look for visible damage: blisters, cracks, or burned spots on the element.
- Check the door seal for gaps, tears, or looseness.
- If only the light is out, start with the bulb.
Parts that commonly fix these problems
| Symptom | Likely part | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| No/weak bake heat | G.e. range bake element WB44T10010 | Primary heat source for baking |
| Temperature swings | Wall oven temperature sensor WB23X5340 | Tells the control how hot the oven is |
| Poor heat retention | Range oven door gasket WB04T10086 | Keeps heat from leaking around the door |
| Oven light not working | Range oven light bulb 40A15 | Interior light illumination |
| Light still out after bulb | Range light socket WB08T10026 | Electrical connection for the bulb |
Why it matters
When the oven cannot regulate heat or retain it, cooking times and results become unpredictable, and the range may run longer than necessary. Fixing the correct component (element, sensor, or gasket) restores stable temperatures and normal preheat performance.

Why is my Kenmore Elite stove not working?
If your Kenmore 91195502000 electric range is not working, the most common causes are a tripped breaker (loss of 240V power), a failed heating element, a bad oven temperature sensor, or a burned wire/connection. Start with power checks, then test the bake and broil circuits.
Quick checks first (fastest wins)
- Confirm the display and oven light work; if nothing powers on, suspect a power supply issue.
- Reset the range by turning the double breaker OFF for 1 minute, then ON.
- Verify the range is getting 240V (many ranges will partially run on 120V but not heat).
- If the oven heats poorly or not at all, inspect for a visibly blistered or broken element.
- If a surface burner will not heat, the control switch or the element itself is often the issue.
What to check based on the symptom
| Symptom | Most likely causes | Good next step |
|---|---|---|
| Nothing works (no lights, no display) | Tripped breaker, loose power cord/terminal block | Check breaker and terminal block connections (power off) |
| Oven will not bake | Failed bake element, wiring issue, control problem | Test/inspect the g.e. range bake element WB44T10010 |
| Oven will not broil | Failed broil element, wiring issue | Test/inspect the range broil element WB44T10009 |
| Oven temperature is erratic | Temperature sensor out of range | Test/replace the wall oven temperature sensor WB23X5340 |
| Oven light does not work | Bulb or socket failed | Try the range oven light bulb 40A15, then check the socket |
Safe DIY testing tips
- Shut off power at the breaker before removing panels or touching wiring.
- Use a multimeter to check continuity on elements and basic wiring.
- Look for overheated terminals, melted insulation, or loose spade connectors.
- If you find damaged wiring, repair it correctly before installing new parts.

Why it matters
Electric ranges like the Kenmore 91195502000 rely on full 240V power and solid electrical connections. A weak connection or failed element can stop heating, cause uneven baking, or lead to repeated part failures if the underlying wiring issue is not corrected.
