How do I tell what model Kenmore stove I have?
The easiest way to tell what Kenmore stove model you have is to find the model/serial tag on the appliance and match the full model number exactly (for example, 79094182310). On most Kenmore electric ranges, the tag is commonly found around the oven door frame or behind the storage drawer; confirm the exact label location in the 79094182310 installation guide.
Check these common spots on a Kenmore freestanding electric range:
- Oven door frame (door jamb area when you open the oven door)
- Behind the storage drawer (pull the drawer out and look on the frame)
- Back of the range near the rear access cover or vent area
- Side panel edge (less common, but possible)
Model tags can be easy to misread. Use these tips:
- Copy the model number exactly as printed (letters and numbers, no spaces)
- Look for a long number that starts with 790 on many Kenmore ranges
- Write down the serial number too; it helps confirm production details
- If the label is worn, use a flashlight and take a close-up photo
| What you see | What it usually means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| A long model number like 79094182310 | Full model identifier | Use it to match parts and diagrams |
| Only “Kenmore” branding on the front | Brand name only | Keep looking for the model/serial tag |
| Multiple numbers on the tag | Model and serial both listed | Record both; use the model for parts |
We use the exact model number to match the correct parts (like a bake element, oven temperature sensor, or surface element control switch) and to ensure installation and clearance requirements are followed for your specific range.

How to reset Kenmore oven model 79094182310?
To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79094182310, we recommend doing a full power reset: turn the range off, cut power at the breaker for 1 to 5 minutes, then restore power and set the clock. This clears many control glitches and false error displays.
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- If the oven is running, press Cancel/Off on the control panel.
- Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or unplug the power cord if accessible).
- Wait 1 to 5 minutes.
- Restore power, then set the clock (see the 79094182310 owner's manual).
A reset can clear a temporary fault, but recurring codes usually point to a sensor, wiring, or control issue.
- Write down the exact code (for example, an “F” code).
- Reset power once more (breaker off 1 minute).
- If the code returns, use the Kenmore 790 manual-clean range error codes guide to match the code to likely causes.
- If the oven temperature seems inaccurate, the oven temperature sensor is a common suspect; for this model, see frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.
| Action | What it helps | What it will not fix |
|---|---|---|
| Breaker reset (1 to 5 minutes) | Frozen keypad, minor control glitches, some false codes | Failed sensor, burned wiring, failed control board |
| Cancel/Off only | Stops a cooking cycle | Power-related faults, persistent error codes |
The range control board relies on stable power and accurate sensor feedback. A proper power reset is the fastest safe first step before replacing parts like a temperature sensor, surface element control switch, or control board.

What was the size of the Kenmore 79094182310 oven?
For the Kenmore 79094182310 electric range, the installation instructions focus on required clearances and installation dimensions (such as cabinet-to-cooktop spacing) rather than listing a single “oven size” spec in the excerpts we have. For exact cutout and range dimensions, use the installation guide.
When customers ask for “oven size,” it typically refers to one of these:
- Overall range dimensions (width, height, depth) for fitting the appliance
- Oven cavity capacity (cubic feet) for cooking space
- Cabinet and countertop clearances for safe installation
- Door swing and handle depth for walkway clearance
From the Kenmore 79094182310 installation guidance:
- 30 in. minimum from cooktop to the bottom of an unprotected wood/metal cabinet
- 24 in. minimum if the cabinet bottom is properly protected
- 0 in. minimum rear clearance (while still following all listed dimension requirements)
| Measurement type | What it helps with | Where to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Overall width/height/depth | Fit in your kitchen opening | Installation guide |
| Oven capacity (cu ft) | Cooking space comparison | 79094182310 manual |
| Minimum clearances | Fire safety and code compliance | Installation guide |
If you are measuring an installed unit, we recommend:
- Measure width at the widest point (often the cooktop edge)
- Measure height from floor to the top of the backguard (leveling legs affect this)
- Measure depth from the back to the front (include the handle if you need walkway clearance)
- Confirm the range is level; leveling legs can change height slightly
Using the correct dimensions prevents cabinet interference, improper countertop cuts, and unsafe clearances around heating surfaces. It also helps you match the right replacement parts (like a bake element, oven rack, or door seal) to the exact Kenmore model.

Who makes Kenmore 79094182310?
Kenmore model 79094182310 is a Kenmore electric range built for Kenmore by Frigidaire (Electrolux/Frigidaire platform). A quick way to identify the manufacturer is the 790 model prefix, which is commonly associated with Frigidaire-made Kenmore ranges.
We recommend verifying the full model and serial information on the range’s identification label, then matching it to the documentation.
- Find the model/serial tag (commonly on the oven frame behind the storage drawer, or around the door frame).
- Confirm the model number is 79094182310 (all digits matter).
- Use the matching documentation for wiring, clearances, and installation requirements.
- When ordering parts, always match by model number first, then by part ID.
Kenmore is a brand name; different manufacturers built different Kenmore model series. Knowing this unit is Frigidaire-built helps ensure you select compatible components like the oven temperature sensor, bake element, or control board.
| What you’re doing | Why “Frigidaire-built” helps | Example part type |
|---|---|---|
| Ordering replacement parts | Confirms the correct design family | Surface element switch |
| Diagnosing heating issues | Points to common Frigidaire-style circuits | Oven temperature sensor |
| Installing or rewiring | Ensures correct terminal block and grounding steps | Terminal block |
If you are repairing a heating or control issue, these are examples of parts listed for this model.
- Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 (temperature regulation and error conditions)
- Universal/multiflex (frigidaire) range terminal block 5303935271 (power connection point at the rear)
For clearances, anti-tip setup, and 3-wire vs 4-wire power connections, follow the model-specific instructions in the 79094182310 installation guide.
Correct manufacturer identification reduces wrong-part returns and speeds up troubleshooting, especially for electrical items like terminal blocks, control boards, and sensors.
