Kenmore Elite 79079463600 dual-fuel range Parts

Kenmore does not manufacture ranges; Kenmore-branded ranges (including model 79079463600) are built by outside OEM manufacturers. For the 790 model prefix used on this Kenmore Elite dual-fuel range, the OEM is commonly associated with Frigidaire/Electrolux production.

We recommend verifying by checking the identification label and the documentation for model 79079463600.

• Match the full model number exactly: 79079463600
• Check the serial tag (often on the oven frame behind the door, or on a side trim area)
• Compare the parts used on the range; many components for this model cross to Frigidaire-style parts
• Use the wiring diagram and installation details in the installation guide

Knowing the OEM helps you choose the correct replacement parts (sensor, igniter, bake element) and follow the right service procedures for a dual-fuel range.

If you are troubleshooting performance issues, these commonly replaced parts for 79079463600 can be good reference points:

• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 (baking temperature accuracy)
• Frigidaire range bake element 316413800 (no heat or weak bake)
• Frigidaire range broil element 316203200 (no broil or uneven broil)
• Range surface burner head 316212400 (uneven flame or poor ignition)

Yes. The Kenmore Elite 79079463600 is a high-end Kenmore range because it is part of the Elite line and it is a dual-fuel design (gas cooktop with an electric oven), which is typically positioned above standard ranges for performance and features.

With the 79079463600, “high end” usually shows up as stronger cooking control and more complex components than entry-level models.

Common high-end traits for an Elite dual-fuel range include:

• Gas surface burners for fast heat changes and strong simmer control
• Electric oven heat for steadier baking and roasting
• More advanced ignition, gas regulation, and safety-related setup steps
• Higher-cost replacement components (for example, control and trim pieces)

For model-specific operating details and feature descriptions, use the 79079463600 owner's manual.

Dual fuel combines two heat systems, which adds capability but also adds installation and service complexity.

Here is the practical difference:

If cooking results are inconsistent, these are common “high impact” parts to check or replace on ranges like this:

• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 (helps regulate oven temperature)
• Frigidaire range bake element 316413800 (primary heat source for baking)
• Frigidaire range broil element 316203200 (top heat for broiling)
• Range oven door seal 5304498835 (helps hold heat in the oven)

High-end ranges like the Kenmore Elite 79079463600 can deliver excellent results, but they depend on accurate temperature sensing, tight door sealing, and properly functioning heating and ignition components. Keeping those parts in good shape protects baking accuracy, preheat time, and overall cooking performance.

On the Kenmore Elite 79079463600 dual-fuel range, the model number is typically on the appliance frame where it stays visible when you open a door or pull out a drawer. Check the oven door opening first, then the storage or warming drawer area.

Check these spots in order (they are the most common for ranges):

• Oven door jamb: open the oven door and look along the frame on either side.
• Behind the bottom drawer: pull the storage drawer or warming drawer out and look on the frame rails.
• Rear panel: look on the back of the range near the upper vent area.
• Side frame: check the left or right side of the chassis, especially near the lower front.

1. Turn on the oven light so you can see the label area clearly.
2. Open the oven door and scan the frame for a rating plate or sticker.
3. If you do not see it, pull the bottom drawer out and look on the frame behind it.
4. If the range is accessible, check the back panel near the vent.

Most Kenmore range ID labels include:

We use the exact model number to match the correct parts and diagrams for your range. Even small model-number differences can change which bake element, igniter, or control parts fit.

PF on your Kenmore Elite range model 79079463600 means the control detected a power failure or power interruption. Once power is stable, you can usually clear PF by canceling the current cycle and resetting the clock settings in the 79079463600 owner's manual.

Try these steps in order:

• Press Cancel/Stop (or Clear/Off) once; if PF stays, press it a second time.
• If the oven was running, reselect your cooking mode (Bake, Broil, Convection) and restart.
• Reset the clock; many ranges keep PF displayed until time is set.
• Turn the range off at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power.
• If PF returns, check for a loose power cord connection at the range terminal block (power off first).

PF is almost always caused by an interruption in the 240-volt supply feeding the range.

Common causes include:

• Brief utility outage or neighborhood voltage dip
• Tripped breaker or a breaker that is failing under load
• Loose connection where the cord attaches to the range
• Loose connection at the wall receptacle or junction box
• Power restored after service work or a self-clean interruption

Start with the simplest checks before assuming a control problem.

A one-time PF is normal after an outage. Repeated PF events can interrupt baking temperatures, stop a self-clean cycle, and point to an electrical connection that can overheat. If PF keeps coming back, we recommend having the home power supply and range connection inspected by a qualified technician.

No. The Kenmore Elite 79079463600 dual-fuel range does not use a single dedicated reset button; the practical “reset” is a power reset (turning the range off at the breaker, then restoring power) and, when needed, clearing a control condition using the steps in the installation guide.

• Turn the range OFF.
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF for 1 to 5 minutes.
• Switch the breaker back ON.
• Re-set the clock and test Bake, Broil, and a surface burner.
• If the display comes back but heating does not, stop and troubleshoot before repeated resets.

A power reset helps when the electronic control is temporarily locked up after a power event. It will not fix a failed heating component, sensor, igniter, or wiring issue.

• Confirm the breaker is fully ON (a tripped breaker can look “half on”).
• If the oven heats unevenly or runs hot/cold, test the oven temperature sensor and replace it if out of spec; the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 is a common fix for temperature-sensing problems.
• If the oven light is out, replace the bulb first; a failed light does not affect heating, but it helps you verify ignition and element glow. Use the range oven light bulb 316538904.
• If you smell gas or suspect a gas supply issue, shut off the range and have a qualified technician check the installation.

On a dual-fuel range like the Kenmore Elite 79079463600, the oven heat is electric and the cooktop is gas. That means “resetting” rarely solves true heating or flame problems; correct diagnosis (sensor, element, igniter, valve adjustment, wiring) prevents repeat failures.
