Kenmore Elite 79099513305 electric range Parts

Kenmore Elite model 79099513305 does not use a dedicated external “reset button” like some small appliances. For most control glitches, we reset the range by turning power off at the breaker (or unplugging), waiting about 1 minute, then restoring power and resetting the clock per the 79099513305 owner's manual.

• Turn the range OFF.
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (preferred) or unplug the power cord.
• Wait 60 seconds to let the electronic oven control fully power down.
• Restore power.
• Reset the clock and any cooking settings.

A power reset helps when the electronic oven control is confused by a brief power interruption or a stuck key signal.

These are the most common range parts and checks involved in a no-heat complaint:

• Confirm the range has 240 volts at the terminal block (a partial power loss can leave lights working but no heat).
• Inspect the bake element for blisters or breaks; replace if damaged (see bake element 318255201).
• Check the oven temperature sensor connection and resistance; a failed sensor can prevent proper heating (see frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002).
• If the oven light is out at the same time, verify the bulb and socket are good (see range oven light bulb 316538904).

A breaker reset is the fastest, safest first step for control issues on an electric range. If the problem returns, focusing on the heating circuit (bake element, sensor, wiring, and power supply) prevents repeat failures and unnecessary part swaps.

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right: the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer, and the remaining digits identify the model series and feature variations. For Kenmore Elite range model 79099513305, the 790 prefix is the key manufacturer identifier.

Use this quick pattern for most Kenmore appliances:

• First 3 digits: manufacturer prefix (who built it)
• Next digits: base model/series (design family)
• Last digits: version, color, feature package, or production variation
• Full model number: what we use to match the correct parts list and diagrams

For Kenmore Elite 79099513305, the identification plate is typically located in one of these spots:

• On the oven front frame, visible when the oven door is open
• On the inside of the storage drawer, along the side of the frame
• Near the frame area where the drawer slides in

For the exact location and how it’s shown on the ID plate, use the 79099513305 owner’s manual.

The 3-digit prefix helps us match you to the right parts ecosystem (wiring, controls, sensors, elements). Here’s what it commonly impacts:

• Correct wiring diagram and terminal connections
• Compatible oven temperature sensor and control components
• Correct bake element and surface element styles
• Proper fit for cosmetic parts (panels, handles, door parts)

Kenmore used multiple manufacturers over the years; the prefix keeps you from ordering a part that looks similar but will not mount, wire, or calibrate correctly on your specific range.

Kenmore Elite is Kenmore’s premium appliance line that was introduced in the late 1990s; your specific Kenmore Elite electric range model 79099513305 was manufactured much later than that, and the most accurate way to date it is by using the model and serial number information shown in the 79099513305 owner’s manual.

We use the model and serial number because “Kenmore Elite” is a product line, not a single release year.

• Open the oven door and look at the oven front frame for the identification plate.
• If you do not see it there, check inside the storage drawer along the side of the frame.
• Write down the model number (79099513305) and the serial number.
• Use the serial number format to determine the build date (many Kenmore ranges use a coded serial that indicates production timing).
• Keep the purchase date and serial number together for parts matching and service history.

The documentation for this range family identifies it as Model/Modelo 790.99513 and explains where the identification plate is located, which is the key to dating your exact unit. Use the 79099513305 owner’s manual to confirm the label location and record the information.

Knowing the exact manufacture date helps us match the correct parts and revisions for your 79099513305, especially for electrical items like the oven temperature sensor, terminal block, and control components.
