Kenmore 79096011406 electric range Parts

The Kenmore 79096011406 is a 30-inch freestanding electric range. Most ranges in this series are built to fit a standard 30-inch opening; for the exact height, width, and depth for your unit and installation clearances, use the measurements listed in the 79096011406 owner's manual and the 79096011406 installation guide.

Typical size you can plan around

Even when the cooktop is 30 inches wide, overall depth and height can vary based on the backguard and leveling legs.

• Width: typically about 30 in. (standard freestanding range)
• Height: typically about 36 in. to the cooktop (adjustable with leveling legs)
• Depth: typically about 25 to 28 in. to the front of the door handle
• Cutout space: usually a 30-in. cabinet opening with required side and rear clearances
• Anti-tip bracket: required; it can affect how far the range sits from the wall

Where to find the exact dimensions for 79096011406

Use the installation section because it lists the dimensions that matter for fitting the range safely.

To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79096011406, turn the range OFF, then cycle power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes and restore power. After power returns, reset the clock and any oven settings as described in the 79096011406 owner's manual.

Quick reset steps (most effective)

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• If the oven is running, press Cancel/Off on the electronic control.
• Go to your home electrical panel and switch the range breaker OFF.
• Wait 3 to 5 minutes (this clears many control glitches).
• Switch the breaker ON.
• Set the clock and reselect your cooking function.

If the reset is after a power outage

The manual warns not to operate the range during a power failure; when power resumes, the range can begin operating again if it was left on. After any outage:

• Confirm all controls are OFF
• Reset the clock
• Re-enter the desired oven function

When a reset does not fix the problem

A reset helps with temporary control lockups, but it will not correct a failed heating circuit or a damaged control.

Common next checks:

• Oven will not heat: inspect for a failed bake element (often shows blisters or breaks). Consider the frigidaire range bake element 316075103.
• Broil not working: the broil element may be open. Consider the frigidaire range broil element 316203200.
• Hot surface light stays on: a surface element control or indicator circuit may be stuck.

Symptom-to-part quick guide

Symptom	What it usually points to	Example part for this model
Oven not baking	Failed bake element	316075103
Oven not broiling	Failed broil element	316203200
No oven light	Burned-out bulb or socket	316538904 or 316116400

Why it matters

Resetting by cycling breaker power is the safest way to clear many electronic oven control glitches and ensures the range does not restart unexpectedly after an outage. It also helps you confirm whether the issue is a temporary control problem or a part failure.

For Kenmore electric range model 79096011406, the model number is printed on the identification (serial) plate on the right side of the oven front frame, inside the storage or warmer drawer compartment. Pull the drawer out and look along the right-side frame.

Where to look on model 79096011406

Check these spots in this order:

• Open the storage drawer (or warmer drawer, if equipped)
• Look on the right side of the oven front frame (the vertical frame just inside the opening)
• Check the bottom area of the drawer compartment where the plate is easiest to see
• If your range has a front lower panel instead of a drawer, open/remove that panel and look in the same right-side frame area

For the exact illustration and wording, use the 79096011406 owner's manual.

Quick checklist: what you should see

The identification plate typically includes:

• Model number (for example, 790.9601 series formats may appear in the manual)
• Serial number
• Date of purchase field (in the Product Record section)

Why it matters

We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore parts and diagrams for your exact range configuration (color variants and feature differences can change which bake element, control overlay, or indicator light fits).

If your Kenmore electric range model 79096011406 oven is not getting hot, the most common causes are a failed bake element, a broil element issue (some models use it during preheat), or a control or sensor problem. Start with a safe visual inspection, then test heating circuits.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the oven is set to Bake (not Delay Start or Sabbath mode, if equipped).
• Allow a full 10 to 20 minutes of preheat time before judging temperature.
• Check for an F-code on the display; the manual notes the control may beep and show an F code when it detects a fault.
• Make sure the oven is not lined with foil; the manual warns against using aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.
• Verify the range has proper power (electric ovens typically need 240V to heat correctly).

Most likely part failures on this model

A broken or open heating element is the top reason an electric oven will not heat.

Symptom	Most likely cause	Common fix
No heat in Bake, broil may still work	Failed bake element	Replace frigidaire range bake element 316075103
No heat in Broil	Failed broil element	Replace frigidaire range broil element 316203200
Oven heats inconsistently or stops heating	Loose wiring, control issue, sensor issue	Inspect wiring, test components, service as needed

How we troubleshoot it safely

1. Disconnect power at the breaker before removing panels or touching wiring.
2. Inspect the bake element for blisters, cracks, or burn spots.
3. If you have a multimeter, check the element for continuity; no continuity means the element is bad.
4. If elements test good, inspect wiring connections at the element terminals and at the rear terminal block for heat damage.
5. If the control is beeping or showing an F code, follow the reset and diagnostic guidance in the 79096011406 owner’s manual.

Why it matters

An oven that will not heat is often a simple element replacement, but continuing to run the range with damaged wiring or incorrect power can lead to repeated failures and unreliable baking results.

On Kenmore electric range model 79096011406, a surface burner usually stops working because of a wrong control setting, a loss of power, a poor connection at the element, or a failed surface element switch or burner element. Start with power and settings, then move to the burner circuit parts.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm you are turning the correct knob for the burner you are testing.
• Check for a power issue; verify the range has power and reset the range circuit breaker if needed.
• Let the cooktop cool, then remove the burner (if removable) and reseat it firmly.
• Look for signs of overheating at the receptacle or wiring (darkened terminals, melted plastic, burnt smell).
• If only one burner fails, swap that burner with a same-size burner (if your cooktop uses plug-in elements) to see if the problem follows the element.

What usually failed (and what to replace)

If power and settings are correct, the most common failed parts are the burner element itself or the infinite switch (surface element control switch).

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do next
One burner dead, others OK	Failed burner element or bad connection	Reseat element; inspect terminals; replace element if it stays dead
Burner heats only on “HI” or cycles oddly	Failed infinite switch	Replace the surface element control switch
Hot surface light stays on or acts wrong	Stuck switch or indicator circuit issue	Test/replace the switch; check indicator light circuit
Multiple burners dead	Power supply or wiring issue	Check breaker, terminal block, and supply wiring

Parts that commonly apply to this problem

• If the issue points to a failed control, use the model-correct switch such as the range surface element control switch 316436001.

Why it matters

A loose or overheated burner connection can create arcing and heat damage at the receptacle and wiring. Catching it early helps prevent repeated failures and keeps heating performance consistent.

Safety notes before you inspect anything

• Turn off power at the breaker before removing knobs, lifting the cooktop, or checking wiring.
• Do not immerse or soak heating elements in water; they are designed to clean themselves during normal operation.
• Avoid touching surface units and nearby areas until fully cooled.

For model-specific operating details and control guidance, use the 79096011406 owner's manual.
