How do I reset my Kenmore electric range?
To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79096009601, turn the range OFF, then restore power by switching the range circuit breaker OFF for 1 minute and back ON. After power returns, reset the clock and any oven settings per the 79096009601 owner's manual.
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- If the oven is running, press Cancel/Off.
- At your home electrical panel, switch the range breaker OFF.
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Switch the breaker ON.
- Set the time of day again (the display often flashes 12:00 after an interruption).
A power reset clears many temporary control glitches, but it will not repair a failed heating circuit.
| Symptom | Reset helps? | Common next check |
|---|---|---|
| Display frozen or beeping | Yes | Check for stuck keypad, then try reset again |
| Oven will not start after outage | Yes | Set clock, then select Bake |
| Oven heats unevenly | Sometimes | Check bake element and temperature sensor |
| Surface element not heating | Sometimes | Check element switch and wiring |
These are the most common causes on electric ranges like this Kenmore model:
- Failed frigidaire range bake element 316075103 (no bake heat)
- Failed frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 (wrong temp or error behavior)
- Control or wiring issue (burned connection, loose terminal)
- Broil element issue if broil also fails
The manual warns that if power fails, you should turn the range off; when power resumes, the range can begin operating again. Resetting power and then resetting the clock helps you return the electronic oven control to a known, safe state and restores normal operation.

How do I tell what model Kenmore stove I have?
Your Kenmore stove’s model number is printed on the appliance identification plate. On Kenmore model 79096009601, that plate is located on the right side of the oven front frame, inside the storage or warmer drawer compartment; pull the drawer out and look along the frame.
- Pull out the bottom storage or warmer drawer and look on the right-side front frame
- Look for labels that say Model No. and Serial No.
- Write the model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers matter)
- Take a clear photo of the plate for ordering parts later
- Keep the model and serial number with your purchase records
Many Kenmore ranges show the model as Model No. 790.XXXXXXXX on the identification plate. For this parts page, the full model is 79096009601.
| What you see on the label | What it means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Model No. | The full model number used to match parts and manuals | 79096009601 |
| Serial No. | The unique serial number for your exact unit | Varies |
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore electric range parts (like a bake element, oven temperature sensor, or control overlay) because similar-looking ranges can use different wiring, elements, and control boards.
Use the model number to confirm operating details and features in the 79096009601 owner's manual.

How many cubic feet is a Kenmore 79096009601 range?
The Kenmore 79096009601 electric range has an oven capacity of 5.3 cubic feet. You can also confirm the listed capacity and other specifications in the 79096009601 owner's manual.
We recommend using these quick checks so you match the correct spec for your exact unit.
- Check the specifications section in the 79096009601 owner's manual
- Look for the model/serial tag on the oven front frame (inside the storage or warmer drawer area)
- Compare the model number on the tag to 79096009601
- If you are planning a replacement, verify cabinet clearances in the 79096009601 installation guide
| Model | Oven capacity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 79096009601 | 5.3 cu ft | Full-size freestanding electric range oven |
Measuring is useful for cookware fit, but it can read slightly different than the published capacity.
- Measure interior width, height, and depth in inches
- Multiply: W × H × D to get cubic inches
- Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet
Oven capacity affects whether large roasting pans fit, how much air space you have around bakeware for even heating, and how this Kenmore range compares to other 30-inch electric ranges.
