Kenmore 79093002310 electric range Parts

Your Kenmore stove’s model number is printed on the appliance identification plate. On Kenmore electric ranges like model 79093002310, we find it by opening the storage drawer and checking the lower right oven frame; the plate lists both the model and serial number. See the owner's manual for the exact location diagram.

Where to look on a Kenmore range

Check these common spots in this order:

• Open the storage drawer and look on the lower right oven frame (most common on Kenmore 790 ranges).
• Oven door frame: look along the front frame area when the door is open.
• Under the cooktop: on some coil-top models, lift the cooktop and look near the burner box.
• Back panel: sometimes the plate is on the rear of the range.
• Warming drawer area (if equipped): around the drawer opening.

What the model number looks like

Kenmore model numbers are typically 10 to 12 digits. Many Kenmore ranges start with a 3-digit prefix that helps identify the manufacturing source (for example, 790 is common on Kenmore ranges).

Quick ID checklist

What you see on the plate	What it means	What to do next
“Model” or “Model No.” followed by digits	The model number	Write it down exactly as shown
“Serial” or “Serial No.”	The serial number	Record it for parts matching
A prefix like 790	Kenmore range family identifier	Use the full number for parts lookup

Why it matters

The exact model number is what we use to match the correct parts and instructions for your specific Kenmore range. Even small differences in a control board, bake element, or surface element switch can change which replacement part fits.

Ordering parts once you have the model number

After you confirm the model number, you can order parts from the parts list for your exact model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

The Kenmore 79093002310 is a standard 30-inch class electric range. Most ranges in this class measure about 30 inches wide, roughly 25 to 28 inches deep (not including the handle), and about 36 inches high to the cooktop; confirm the exact cutout and clearance requirements in the installation guide.

Typical dimensions you can expect

Because the exact exterior dimensions are not listed in the retrieved excerpts, we use the standard freestanding range sizing that applies to most Kenmore 790-series electric ranges.

• Width: typically 29 7/8 to 30 inches
• Height: typically 35 3/4 to 36 1/2 inches (leveling legs can change this)
• Depth: typically 25 to 28 inches to the front of the door (add more for the handle)
• Clearances: vary by installation and local code
• Vent location note: the oven vent is under the left rear surface element, so keep that area clear

How to measure your range (quick, accurate method)

Use a tape measure and record three numbers.

• Measure width at the widest point of the cooktop
• Measure height from the floor to the cooktop surface (check both front corners in case the floor is uneven)
• Measure depth from the back panel to the front of the closed door; then measure again to the handle
• If you are fitting between cabinets, measure the opening width in 3 places (top, middle, bottom)

Dimension checklist (what matters for fit)

What you’re checking	Why it matters	What to include
Cabinet opening width	Prevents binding and rubbing	Cooktop overhang if any
Depth to handle	Ensures door clears walkways	Door + handle projection
Height to cooktop	Aligns with countertops	Leveling leg adjustment
Rear clearance	Protects cord and airflow	Space behind range

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents installation problems like a pinched power cord, blocked oven venting, or a door that cannot open fully. It also helps you order the right replacement parts (for example, a correctly sized cooktop component or trim piece) from the parts list on this model page or by searching on Sears PartsDirect.

To reset the electronic oven control on your Kenmore electric range model 79093002310, turn the range off, then cycle power at the breaker (or unplug if accessible) for about 1 minute; restore power and reset the clock and any cooking function. See the owner's manual for control and clock steps.

Quick reset steps (safe and effective)

• Press STOP/CANCEL to end any active cooking cycle.
• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• Switch the range OFF at the circuit breaker (preferred) for about 60 seconds.
• Turn the breaker back ON.
• When the display flashes 12:00, set the clock.
• Test BAKE and BROIL to confirm the control responds normally.

What to expect after power is restored

When power is interrupted on this model, the display typically flashes 12:00 and you must set the time of day before normal use.

What you see	What it means	What to do
Display flashing 12:00	Power was interrupted or reset	Set the clock, then reselect cooking mode
Oven won’t start a cycle	A feature may still be cleared	Press STOP, then select BAKE or BROIL
Oven temperature seems “off”	Calibration may need adjustment	Use the temperature adjust feature in the manual

If the control still acts up after a reset

A reset fixes many “frozen keypad” or “glitch” symptoms, but it will not correct a failed sensor, heating element, or control hardware issue. Check these common causes:

• Oven not heating evenly or correctly: consider the temperature sensor and calibration
• No heat in bake: inspect the bake element for visible damage
• No heat in broil: inspect the broil element for visible damage
• Random beeping or unresponsive keys: control panel or control board may be failing

If you’re troubleshooting temperature problems, the Range Oven Temperature Sensor is a common suspect on this model; see range oven temperature sensor 316233903.

Why it matters

Resetting clears temporary electronic faults and restores normal operation after a power interruption. It also ensures the clock and cooking functions are correctly reinitialized so the oven does not behave unpredictably when power returns.

On your Kenmore 79093002310 electric range, the oven light usually won’t turn on because the bulb is burned out, the light socket has a bad connection, or the control-panel OVEN LIGHT switch is not operating correctly. Start with the bulb because it is the fastest fix.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Make sure the oven door is fully closed; on many models the light behaves differently with the door open.
• Press the control-panel rocker switch marked OVEN LIGHT (the light can be turned on and off when the door is closed).
• Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb (this model uses a 40-watt bulb).
• If the new bulb still doesn’t work, inspect the socket for heat damage or looseness.
• If the socket looks good, check for a tripped breaker or a loose power cord connection.

How to replace the oven light bulb (model-specific)

The manual procedure for this Kenmore range is:

1. Turn power off at the breaker or unplug the range.
2. Let the oven and bulb area cool completely.
3. Replace the bulb with a new 40-watt appliance bulb.
4. Restore power; reset the clock if needed.

For the exact steps and safety notes, follow the owner's manual.

Parts that commonly fix an oven light issue

If a new bulb doesn’t solve it, these parts are the most common next steps for model 79093002310:

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to replace
Light never turns on, bulb is new	Failed bulb	Appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904
Bulb works intermittently or flickers	Loose/burned socket	Range light socket 316116400
Bulb and socket test good, still no light	Control issue or wiring	Check wiring connections; consider control diagnostics

Why it matters

A working oven light helps you monitor baking and broiling without opening the door, which keeps temperatures stable and prevents longer cook times. It also helps you spot smoke or spills early.

You can order replacement parts for your Kenmore 79093002310 from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

If your Kenmore electric range model 79093002310 is not heating, the most common causes are a failed bake element or broil element, a bad oven temperature sensor, or a control problem after a power interruption. Start with a quick visual check, then test the heating circuit safely.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the range is getting full power (a tripped breaker can leave you with partial power and weak or no oven heat).
• Make sure the oven is not in a delayed start or timed mode; reset the clock and cooking function after any outage (per the owner's manual).
• Look for visible damage on the bake and broil elements (blisters, cracks, or a separated spot).
• Verify the oven door closes fully; a poor seal can make it seem like the oven never reaches temperature.
• If the cooktop works but the oven does not, focus on oven-specific parts (elements, sensor, control).

Parts that commonly cause “no heat” on this model

These are the most frequent heat-related parts we see for Kenmore ranges like 79093002310:

Symptom	Most likely part	What you’ll notice
No bake heat	Bake element	Oven stays cool or heats very slowly
No broil heat	Broil element	Top element never glows/heats
Temps way off or erratic	Oven temperature sensor	Overcooks or undercooks, long preheat
Oven dead after outage or acts “stuck”	Control issue	Needs reset; may show odd behavior

If you suspect a sensor problem, the Range Oven Temperature Sensor is available as range oven temperature sensor 316233903.

Safe troubleshooting steps (what to do, in order)

• Turn off power at the breaker before removing panels or testing continuity.
• Inspect elements for visible breaks; replace if damaged.
• Test element continuity with a multimeter; an open circuit means the element is failed.
• Check the sensor connection at the rear of the oven; a loose plug can cause heating problems.
• Avoid spraying oven cleaner on controls or switches; it can cause shorts and heating issues (guidance in the owner's manual).

Why it matters

An oven that will not heat is often a single failed component (element or sensor). Fixing the correct part restores normal preheat times, stable baking temperatures, and safe operation without repeated breaker trips or overheating.
