Kenmore 79094462702 electric range Parts

To reset a Kenmore electric range such as model 79094462702, turn the range off, then shut off power at the breaker (or unplug it) for about 1 minute. Restore power, then reset the clock and reselect your oven function as needed (a power interruption can clear settings).

Quick reset steps (safe and effective)

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• If the oven is running, press Cancel/Off.
• Shut off power at the circuit breaker (preferred) or unplug the range.
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Restore power.
• Set the clock and test Bake and Broil.

For model-specific control and clock steps, use the 79094462702 owner's manual.

What to do if the range still will not work

If the display stays blank, the oven will not heat, or a burner will not respond after a reset, focus on the most common electrical and control-related causes:

• Check the home breaker for a double-pole 240V range circuit (one side tripped can cause partial power).
• Confirm the power cord and terminal connections are secure; the installation instructions warn not to loosen factory terminal block nuts.
• If the oven heats erratically or shows temperature problems, test the oven temperature sensor circuit; a failed sensor can cause incorrect baking.
• If a surface element will not regulate heat, the infinite switch or surface burner control board may be the issue.

Common symptoms and likely next checks

Symptom after reset	Most likely area to check	Example part for this model
Oven temperature is inaccurate or oven shuts off	Oven temperature sensor	Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
Small burner will not cycle heat correctly	Surface element control switch	Frigidaire range small surface element control switch 316436000
Oven light does not work after power cycle	Bulb or socket	Appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904

Why it matters

A reset clears a “stuck” control state after a power glitch, but it does not fix a failed part. If the problem returns quickly, checking the sensor, burner controls, or power connections prevents repeated shutdowns and uneven cooking.

On the Kenmore 79094462702 electric range, an oven that “stops working” is usually caused by a power problem (tripped breaker or outage), incorrect control settings, or a failed heating or control component such as the oven temperature sensor or electronic control board. Use the checks below to pinpoint the cause.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the range has power; check both legs of the 240V breaker (electric ranges often use a double breaker).
• If there was a power interruption, reset the oven by pressing CLEAR/OFF, then set Bake again.
• Verify the oven controls are set correctly for the function you want (Bake, Broil, Convection).
• If the control is beeping and showing an “F” error code, press CLEAR/OFF to stop the beeping and note the code.
• Check whether the oven light works; if not, it can indicate a simple bulb issue (not always related to heating).

Most common failed parts when the oven will not heat

If power and settings are correct, these are the most frequent culprits on electric ranges:

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to check next
Oven won’t heat at all	Control fault or sensor issue	Look for “F” code; test sensor resistance
Bakes poorly or temps are way off	Temperature sensing problem	Inspect/replace sensor
Broil works but bake doesn’t (or vice versa)	Failed element for that mode	Inspect element for blistering/breaks

Model-matched parts we commonly see involved:

• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
• Range oven control board and clock 316462804

Why it matters

When an oven stops heating, continuing to run it can lead to undercooked food, repeated error codes, or overheating if the temperature feedback circuit is failing. A fast diagnosis helps you replace the right part the first time.

Where to find model-specific troubleshooting steps

We recommend following the “Before you make a service call” and control reset guidance in the 79094462702 owner's manual. For wiring and power-supply checks (terminal block, cord connection, anti-tip, and grounding), use the 79094462702 installation guide.

On the Kenmore electric range model 79094462702, the model and serial number are printed on an identification plate located on the right side of the oven front frame, inside the storage or warmer drawer compartment. The quickest way to see it is to pull the bottom drawer out and look along the right-side frame. See the 79094462702 owner's manual for the exact label location diagram.

Where to look (most common spots)

• Pull out the storage or warmer drawer; check the right side of the oven front frame
• Look for a silver or white identification plate with model and serial fields
• Wipe grease or dust off the plate so the full number is readable
• Write down the full model number (including any dots or suffixes) and the serial number

Quick steps to find it safely

1. Make sure the oven and cooktop are cool.
2. Pull the bottom storage or warmer drawer straight out.
3. Use a flashlight and look at the right front frame of the oven opening.
4. Record the model and serial number for parts lookup and service.

What the label typically shows

Label item	What it’s used for
Model number	Matching the correct Kenmore range parts list
Serial number	Identifying production run details for service
Electrical ratings	Confirming power requirements during installation

Why it matters

We use the model number to match the correct parts and diagrams for your exact range. Even small model variations can change which bake element, oven temperature sensor, or control board fits.

On Kenmore model 79094462702, the “fuse” people mean is usually a thermal fuse or high-limit safety device. It is typically mounted on the back of the range, behind the rear access panel, near the oven wiring and heating-element circuits; use the 79094462702 owner's manual for safe access and identification.

What to check first (before you start disassembling)

• Unplug the range or switch both breakers off (240V).
• Confirm the symptom: dead display, no bake/broil, or intermittent heat.
• Look for a tripped house breaker first; many “no power” calls are supply-related.
• If the oven heats poorly or throws temperature-related faults, the sensor circuit is a common suspect.

Typical fuse locations on electric ranges

Most Kenmore electric ranges place safety fuses/limiters in one of these spots:

• Rear panel area (most common): attached to the back sheet metal near the oven cavity.
• Control area: behind the control panel where the wiring harness and control board sit.
• Warming drawer/storage drawer compartment: some components are accessed by removing the drawer; the manual shows this compartment and other key locations.

Quick location guide

What you see	Most likely area to access	What it usually affects
No display, no oven functions	Rear panel or control area	Whole range or oven power feed
Oven overheats or shuts down	Rear panel near oven cavity	Oven heating safety cutoff
Oven temperature is inaccurate	Oven sensor circuit	Temperature regulation

Parts that are often involved (and worth testing)

If you are troubleshooting heat or temperature problems, these parts commonly come into play:

• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 (sensor reads oven temperature)
• Range oven control board and clock 316462804 (controls bake/broil logic and timing)
• Frigidaire range bake element 316505500 and frigidaire range broil element 316203301 (heat sources)

Why it matters

A thermal fuse or high-limit device is a one-time safety cutoff on many designs. Replacing it without fixing the root cause (overheating, wiring damage, failed control, blocked venting) can lead to repeat failures and unsafe operation.

If your Kenmore 79094462702 electric oven is not getting hot, the most common causes are a failed bake element, a bad oven temperature sensor, or a control setting or power issue that prevents the oven from heating. Start with basic power and settings checks, then test heat components.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the range is getting full power (a tripped double breaker can leave the oven weak or dead while the cooktop still works).
• Make sure you are in Bake (not Warm & Hold, Delay Start, or Sabbath mode).
• If the display shows SAb, turn off Sabbath mode per the 79094462702 owner's manual.
• After a power interruption, reset the clock and try Bake again (some functions will not resume automatically).
• If the oven was just in Self-Clean, let it cool fully and confirm the door is unlocked before testing heat.

Parts that most often cause “no heat”

When the oven will not heat at all, we focus on these items first.

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do next
No bake heat, broil may still work	Bake element failed	Inspect for blisters or breaks; test continuity; replace if open
Oven heats but temperature is wrong	Temperature sensor out of range	Test sensor resistance; replace if readings are off
Neither bake nor broil heats	Control or power supply issue	Verify 240V supply; check wiring and control outputs

Common replacement parts for this model

• Frigidaire range bake element 316505500
• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
• Range oven control board and clock 316462804

Why it matters

An electric oven relies on accurate temperature feedback and full 240-volt power to heat properly. A weak power supply, a failed heating element, or a sensor that misreads temperature can all keep the oven from reaching the set temperature and can lead to undercooked food.
