Kenmore 79094152312 freestanding electric range Parts

To replace the oven control board on your Kenmore 79094152312 electric range, we disconnect power at the breaker, access the control area from the back, move each wire connector to the matching terminal on the new board, then reassemble and restore power. Follow the safety and access steps in the 79094152312 owner's manual.

Safety first (do this every time)

• Turn the range off, then switch OFF the circuit breaker (or remove the fuse).
• Confirm the display and oven light are off before touching wiring.
• Avoid operating the range during a power failure; reset the clock after power returns.
• Do not modify panels, wire covers, or other structural parts.
• If you see burned wiring, melted connectors, or a scorched terminal block, stop and repair the wiring before installing a new board.

Replacement steps (typical for this model)

1. Shut off power at the breaker.
2. Pull the range forward enough to access the rear.
3. Remove the rear access panel to reach the control area.
4. Take a clear photo of all wire locations.
5. Transfer wires one at a time from the old board to the same position on the new board.
6. Reconnect any ribbon connector(s) by fully seating the ribbon, then locking the connector.
7. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, set the clock, and test Bake and Broil.

Quick wiring tips that prevent repeat failures

• Move connectors one-by-one (not all at once).
• Match by terminal position, not wire color.
• Make sure spade terminals fit tight; loose connections overheat.
• Route wires away from sharp edges and hot surfaces.

What part is usually replaced?

If your symptoms include a dead display, unresponsive keypad, or erratic oven operation, the control board is a common fix.

Symptom	Common cause	What to check next
Display blank	No power to control or failed board	Breaker, wiring, then board
Oven overheats/underheats	Sensor issue or control issue	Oven temperature sensor 316490000
Broil not heating	Failed broil circuit or element	Broil element 316203301

Why it matters

The control board is the “brain” for bake, broil, and timing. Correct wire placement and secure connections prevent nuisance faults, overheating at terminals, and repeat control failures.

Kenmore model numbers are a series of digits (sometimes shown with a dot) that identify the product family and who built it. For Kenmore range model 79094152312, the 790 prefix indicates a Frigidaire-built Kenmore; the remaining digits narrow down the exact freestanding electric range version.

What you will typically see on the label

On Kenmore appliances, the model number is usually printed as one continuous number (like 79094152312) or with punctuation/wildcards in the literature.

Common formats include:

• Full model number: 79094152312
• Manual shorthand: 790.9415* (the * represents a color/variation code)
• Serial tag pairing: model number plus a separate serial number

How to interpret the digits (practical breakdown)

Kenmore model numbers are most useful for parts matching because the prefix points to the original manufacturer.

Example	What it tells you	Why it matters
79094152312	Exact model used for parts lookup	Ensures correct fit and wiring compatibility
790.9415*	Model family shown in the manual	Helps match the right Use & Care Guide
790 (prefix)	Manufacturer code (Frigidaire-built Kenmore)	Guides you to the correct parts design

Where to confirm the exact model number

We recommend matching the model number from the appliance rating plate to what you use for parts ordering.

Check these common locations:

• Oven frame behind the storage drawer
• Door frame area (around the oven opening)
• Back panel of the range
• Inside the lower drawer cavity on a side wall

For this model, the 79094152312 owner's manual also shows the model family format (790.9415*).

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges can look similar across years, but internal parts like the oven control board, temperature sensor, and surface element switches can vary by model prefix and revision. Using the exact model number helps prevent wrong-part returns and repeat repairs.

On Kenmore freestanding electric range model 79094152312, the model and serial information is typically on the serial plate located on the lower right front frame of the appliance; an alternate location is under the cooktop. Confirm the exact label location in the 79094152312 installation guide.

Common places to check on model 79094152312

Look in these spots in order (they are the most common for this platform):

• Lower right front frame (open the oven door and look along the front frame area)
• Under the cooktop (lift the cooktop if your design allows safe access)
• Behind the storage drawer (pull the drawer out and look at the frame)
• Rear panel area (only if you can safely access the back)

Quick access tips (safe and fast)

• Turn the range off and let it cool before reaching near the oven frame.
• Use a flashlight; the label is often small and easy to miss.
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown.
• If the label is greasy, wipe lightly with a damp cloth; do not scrub it off.

What the label usually looks like

What you’ll see	Why we need it
Model number (example: 79094152312)	Matches the correct Kenmore parts diagrams and fitment
Serial number	Helps identify production details for compatible parts
Electrical ratings	Useful when checking power cord and terminal block connections

Why it matters

Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong range parts (like a bake element, surface element switch, or oven sensor) and helps us match the correct wiring and configuration for your specific Kenmore range.

If your Kenmore range model 79094152312 oven will not heat or won’t reach the set temperature, the most common causes are a failed bake element, a bad oven temperature sensor, or a control issue that prevents proper preheating. Start with basic settings and a preheat test, then check the heating circuit.

Quick checks first (no tools)

• Confirm you are using Bake (not Delay Start, Warm, or Self-Clean).
• Make sure the oven is given enough time to preheat to the set temperature before loading food.
• Verify the clock is set after any power interruption (controls can act oddly after a power failure).
• Check that the oven vent below the backguard is not blocked, since restricted venting can affect heating performance.
• Try a different outlet circuit only if your range is on a properly installed 240V supply (do not use extension cords).

Most likely failed parts for “not getting hot”

In this model family (Kenmore 790.9415*), these parts commonly affect oven heat:

• Bake element: if it is cracked, blistered, or has no continuity, it will not heat.
• Oven temperature sensor: if it reads out of range, the control can underheat or stop heating.
• Electronic oven control: if it is not sending power to the element, the oven may stay cool.

Parts that match this model

Symptom	What it points to	Example part for this model
Oven stays cool in Bake	Failed bake element or control	Frigidaire range bake element 316413800
Oven heats poorly or erratically	Sensor drifting out of spec	Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
No heat plus other control oddities	Control board or wiring issue	Frigidaire range oven control board 316630003

Safe DIY testing steps (basic)

• Disconnect power at the breaker before removing panels or testing continuity.
• Inspect the bake element for visible damage.
• Use a multimeter to check continuity of the bake element.
• If the element tests good, test the oven temperature sensor circuit and inspect wiring connections for heat damage.

Why it matters

An oven that does not preheat correctly causes undercooked food and long bake times. Fixing the heating circuit (element, sensor, or control) restores stable temperatures and more consistent baking results.

For model-specific operating and preheat guidance, use the 79094152312 owner's manual.
