Kenmore Elite 79042563315 electric range Parts

Kenmore model numbers are structured to identify who built the appliance and which design series it belongs to. For your Kenmore Elite electric range model 79042563315, the 790 prefix is the key identifier used to match the correct parts list and service information in the 79042563315 owner's manual.

How Kenmore model numbers are typically structured

Most Kenmore model numbers follow a predictable pattern:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): identifies the manufacturing source used for parts lookup
• Middle digits: identify the base design family (helps narrow diagrams and compatible parts)
• Last digits: identify feature and production variations (color, control style, revisions)

Quick example for this range

Model number	What it tells us	Why it matters
79042563315	Prefix 790 + design/variation digits	Ensures you get the right Kenmore Elite range parts and wiring diagrams

Where to find the model number on the appliance

For Kenmore ranges, the model/serial tag is commonly found:

• On the oven frame behind the storage drawer or warming drawer
• Along the door frame area (visible when the oven door is open)
• Sometimes on the lower side trim near the front

If the tag is hard to read, use the full model number (all digits) when ordering parts like a bake element, surface element, or control board.

Why it matters

Kenmore uses many similar-looking ranges across different production runs. Matching the full model number (including the last digits) helps prevent ordering the wrong component, especially for electrical parts like a terminal block, oven temperature sensor, or user interface.

Helpful tip before ordering parts

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (include all digits)
• Compare the prefix first (for this model, 790)
• Use the parts diagrams for the exact component location and callout

Kenmore Elite is a premium Kenmore product line that began in the late 1990s; your specific Kenmore Elite electric range model 79042563315 was produced later than that, but the exact build year is determined by the serial number on the appliance. Use the serial number decoding guidance in the 79042563315 owner's manual to pinpoint the manufacturing date.

How to find the manufacturing date for model 79042563315

We use the serial number (not the model number) to identify the build date. On most Kenmore ranges, the serial tag is commonly found in one of these places:

• On the oven frame behind the storage or warming drawer
• Along the door jamb area when you open the oven door
• On the back panel of the range
• Near the lower side trim behind the drawer

What “Kenmore Elite came out” means (and why it can be confusing)

Kenmore Elite refers to a line, not a single release year for every appliance. Different Kenmore Elite ranges, refrigerators, washers, and dishwashers were introduced at different times, and model numbers like 790.4256* indicate a family of related range versions.

Quick timeline (high level)

Item	What it tells you	Best for
Kenmore Elite line	Introduced in the late 1990s	General history
Model number 79042563315	Identifies the design/version	Ordering correct parts
Serial number	Identifies the build date	Determining the year it was made

Why it matters

Knowing the build year helps us match the correct wiring, control components, and heating parts for your exact production run, especially on an electric range with features like a ceramic cooktop and electronic oven controls.

On Kenmore Elite electric range model 79042563315, the model and serial number are on the serial plate attached to the left side of the oven frame. You can typically see it by opening the oven door (or, on some versions, by opening the warmer drawer). See the 79042563315 owner's manual for the exact serial plate location notes.

Where to look on the range

Check these common spots first (in order):

• Open the oven door and look along the left side oven frame for the serial plate label
• If your range has a warmer drawer, pull the warmer drawer open and check the left side frame area
• Look for a label that lists Model and Serial (often near electrical ratings)

What the label looks like (so you know you found the right one)

The serial plate usually includes:

• Model number (for example, 79042563315)
• Serial number
• Electrical rating information (volts/amps)
• Brand identification (Kenmore Elite)

Quick checklist: model number vs. serial number

Use this to avoid mixing them up when ordering parts.

Item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Identifies the exact range design for correct parts	79042563315
Serial number	Identifies your specific unit’s build/run info	Letters and numbers

Why it matters

We use the full model number to match the correct Kenmore Elite range parts (like a bake element, surface element, or control board) because small design changes can affect fit and wiring.
