Kenmore 79096012404 electric range Parts

To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79096012404, we recommend doing a full power reset: turn the range off, shut off power at the circuit breaker (or remove the fuse) for 1 to 5 minutes, then restore power and reset the clock and any oven functions per the 79096012404 owner's manual.

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• Turn the oven OFF (cancel any bake/broil/timer settings).
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or remove the fuse).
• Wait 1 to 5 minutes.
• Switch the breaker ON (or reinstall the fuse).
• Set the clock and re-enter any cooking settings.

Your range should be turned off during a power failure; when power returns, you typically need to reset the clock and oven function settings.

• Confirm the display is on and responds to keypad presses.
• Test Bake and Broil briefly to confirm the oven heats.
• Check that surface elements cycle normally.
• If the oven light was recently serviced, confirm the bulb cover is seated correctly.

A power reset clears many temporary control glitches, but it will not correct a failed heating component or a stuck control.

Resetting the range the right way protects the electronic oven control and helps you separate a temporary power or control issue from a true parts failure (like a bake element, switch, or wiring problem).

If your Kenmore electric range model 79096012404 is not working, the most common causes are a power supply problem (tripped breaker, loose cord connection, outage) or an electronic control fault showing an F code. Restore power first, then clear and reprogram the control per the 79096012404 owner's manual.

• Confirm the range has power; check for a tripped double breaker (240V) and verify other kitchen lights/outlets.
• Make sure the power cord is fully seated and the terminal connections are tight (power off before inspecting).
• If the display is beeping and shows an F code (example: F11), press STOP/CLEAR to stop beeping and clear the display.
• Reprogram the oven; if the fault returns, write down the exact code.
• If only one cooktop burner will not heat, verify you are using the correct knob/control for that element.
• If the oven light is out, try tightening or replacing the bulb; use the range oven light bulb 316538904 if your bulb matches.

These are model-linked parts we often see involved when a function fails:

• Range surface element control switch 316436001 (burner won’t heat or won’t regulate)
• Oven switch 316436000 (small element control issues on some configurations)
• Frigidaire range bake element 316075103 (oven won’t bake or heats poorly)
• Frigidaire range broil element 316203200 (no broil or weak broil)
• Range oven light bulb 316538904 (light out)

A range that “comes back on” after a brief outage can start operating again if it was left on. We always recommend turning the controls off during a power failure, then resetting the clock and oven function when power returns (see the 79096012404 owner's manual).

The Kenmore 79096012404 electric range is a full-size freestanding range; the most accurate way to get the oven’s cubic-foot capacity is to use the capacity/specifications section in the 79096012404 owner’s manual. If you need it immediately, you can calculate it from the oven’s interior dimensions.

Look for sections labeled Specifications, Product dimensions, or Range features in the 79096012404 owner’s manual. Those sections list the manufacturer-stated oven capacity (in cubic feet) for your exact model.

Measure the usable oven cavity (not the door opening) in inches, then convert to cubic feet.

• Measure width: left wall to right wall
• Measure height: oven floor to oven ceiling (usable height)
• Measure depth: back wall to the inside edge of the door gasket
• Multiply: width × height × depth (cubic inches)
• Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet

These items can slightly change what fits, even when the calculated volume is the same:

• Rack supports and rack positions
• Oven bottom shape or hidden bake cover
• Convection fan cover (if equipped)
• Door gasket thickness and where you stop the depth measurement

Oven capacity determines whether large cookware (roasters, pizza stones, full-size sheet pans) fits comfortably and helps you plan multi-rack baking.

For Kenmore electric range model 79096012404, the model and serial number are printed on the identification (serial) plate. On this model, the plate is located on the right side of the oven front frame in the storage or warmer drawer compartment; open the storage drawer (or the front lower panel on some versions) to view it. Use the 79096012404 owner's manual for the location illustration.

• Open the storage drawer and look along the right side of the oven front frame
• If your range has a warmer drawer, check inside that drawer compartment
• If there is no drawer, remove or open the front lower panel and look in the same area
• Write down both the model number and serial number exactly as shown

The model number identifies the exact design so we can match the correct parts diagrams and replacements.

Small model differences can change which parts fit, such as a bake element, surface element control switch, or oven light bulb. Using the full model number helps us match the correct Kenmore parts the first time.
