Kenmore 79094002600 electric range Parts

To take your Kenmore electric range model 79094002600 out of lock mode, press and hold the Oven Lockout pad for 3 seconds until the door unlocks and normal operation returns. If the lock started after Self-Clean, wait for the oven to cool and the lock light to go out.

Quick unlock steps (control lockout)

• Press and hold Oven Lockout for 3 seconds.
• Watch for “LOC” to clear from the display.
• Wait about 15 seconds for the motorized door latch to finish unlocking.
• Do not pull on the door while the Door Locked light is flashing.
• If you pressed a pad while locked, “LOC” may show again; release the pad and retry.

If the oven is locked after Self-Clean

During and right after Self-Clean, the door stays locked for safety.

• Press Cancel/Stop to end the cycle.
• Let the oven cool for about 1 hour.
• Open the door only after the LOCK light goes out.
• Never force the door open; that can damage the automatic door lock mechanism.

What you should see (normal behavior)

Situation	What you see	What to do
Lockout turned on	“LOC” in display, Door Locked light flashing	Hold Oven Lockout 3 seconds to cancel
Self-Clean just ended	LOCK light stays on while cooling	Wait about 1 hour, then open when light goes out
Door won’t open immediately	Latch motor running	Wait 15 seconds; do not tug the door

Why it matters

The lockout feature prevents accidental button presses and keeps the door secured during high-heat cleaning. Using the correct unlock method protects the door latch and helps avoid control and door alignment problems.

Resetting the control board on your Kenmore electric range model 79094002600 is typically done by power-cycling the range: shut it off at the breaker (or unplug it) for about 5 minutes, then restore power. This clears many temporary control glitches and can restore normal oven operation.

Recommended reset steps (safe order)

• Turn the oven off.
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or unplug the power cord).
• Wait 5 minutes (10 minutes if the display was frozen or showing an error).
• Restore power and set the clock (the clock often needs resetting after power is restored).
• Test Bake and Broil.

For control and clock-related steps specific to this model, use the 79094002600 owner's manual.

If the oven is locked or won’t respond

Sometimes the control is working, but the keypad is locked.

• Press and hold the Oven Lockout pad for 3 seconds.
• Watch for “Loc” and the door lock indicator behavior.
• Allow about 15 seconds for the door lock motor to finish moving.
• Try canceling lockout by pressing and holding the same pad for 3 seconds.

What a reset can and cannot fix

Symptom	Reset helps most when	Likely next step if it returns
Display frozen or beeping	After a power flicker or outage	Check wiring connections, then diagnose control
Random error code	One-time glitch	Use an error code chart and test related circuits
Oven won’t heat	Control logic is stuck	Check bake element, wiring, and temperature sensing

If the oven will not heat after a reset, a failed heating component is common. On this model, the bake circuit includes the frigidaire range bake element 316075103.

Why it matters

A proper reset is the fastest way to clear a temporary electronic fault without replacing parts. If symptoms return quickly after a reset, that points to an underlying issue such as a failing element, sensor, wiring connection, or control.

On the Kenmore electric range model 79094002600, an F2 error typically points to an oven over-temperature condition (the control thinks the oven is too hot). The most common causes are a temperature sensing problem or an oven control/relay issue that keeps a heating circuit on.

What to do first (safe, quick checks)

• Press CLEAR/OFF to stop cooking and clear the code.
• Let the oven cool completely; then try Bake at a moderate temperature.
• If the code returns quickly, avoid using the oven until the cause is corrected.
• Check for obvious signs of overheating (burning smell, glowing element when OFF).
• Review the troubleshooting section in the 79094002600 owner's manual for “F code” guidance.

Common causes of an F2 code

In most Kenmore electric ranges, F2 is triggered when the control detects temperatures outside the expected range.

Likely cause	What you may notice	Typical fix
Oven temperature sensor circuit issue	Erratic temps, F2 during preheat	Inspect sensor wiring and connections; replace sensor if out of spec
Stuck relay on the electronic oven control (ERC)	Oven keeps heating or overheats	Replace the oven control board (ERC/clock)
Shorted wiring to bake or broil circuit	Heat when it should be off	Repair damaged wiring/terminals
Cooling/airflow problem around control area	F2 after long bakes	Verify vents are not blocked; confirm installation clearances

Parts that are often involved

If the oven is overheating because a heating circuit is being energized when it should not be, these parts are commonly checked during diagnosis:

• Frigidaire range bake element 316075103 (if it is damaged or shorted)
• Wiring connections at the rear terminal area (look for heat damage)
• The electronic oven control (ERC) and its relays

Why it matters

An F2 code is the range telling you it cannot reliably control oven temperature. Fixing the root cause protects baking performance and helps prevent repeated overheating that can damage wiring, the control, and nearby components.
