How do I reset my Kenmore electric range?
To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79094152310, we recommend doing a full power reset: turn the range off, shut off power at the circuit breaker for 1 to 5 minutes, then restore power and reset the clock and any oven settings. See the 79094152310 owner's manual for control and clock steps.
Quick reset steps (power cycle)
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- Turn the range OFF at the household circuit breaker (or remove the fuse).
- Wait 1 to 5 minutes to clear the electronic control.
- Restore power.
- Reset the clock and reselect your oven function (bake, broil, convection).
- If the oven was in use, confirm the oven begins heating normally.
If the reset was caused by a power outage
Your range is designed to stop operating during a power failure; once power returns, you typically need to reset the clock and oven function.
What to check after power returns
- Clock display is correct
- Bake and broil start normally
- Surface elements heat and cycle
- No error code returns after a few minutes
When a reset does not fix the problem
If the display comes back but the oven will not heat, heats incorrectly, or shows an error again, the issue is usually in a heating or sensing circuit.
| Symptom after reset | Most common area to check | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven temperature is inaccurate | Oven temperature sensor | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| Oven will not bake | Bake heating circuit | Range bake element 316413800 |
| Oven will not broil | Broil heating circuit | Range broil element 316203301 |
Why it matters
A proper reset clears a “stuck” electronic control state after a power interruption and helps you confirm whether the problem is a temporary control glitch or a failed component such as a sensor, element, or control board.

How do I tell what model Kenmore stove I have?
Your Kenmore stove’s model number is printed on a rating label attached to the range cabinet. On Kenmore electric ranges like model 79094152310, the label is most often found in the oven door jamb (open the oven door and look around the frame) or behind the lower storage drawer.
Where to look first (fastest checks)
- Open the oven door and check the left and right door jamb area
- Pull out the bottom storage drawer and look on the frame behind it
- Check the back panel near the power cord entry area (if accessible)
- Look along the side frame near the front edge (door open helps)
- If your range is slide-in or tightly installed, use a flashlight and phone camera
What the label looks like and what to write down
The rating label usually includes the model number and serial number. For this Kenmore family, you may see a format like 790.9415* in the documentation, while the full model on the parts page is 79094152310.
| What to capture | Example format | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 79094152310 | Ensures correct parts and diagrams |
| Serial number | Letters and numbers | Helps match production run details |
| Brand | Kenmore | Confirms the correct manual and parts family |
Why it matters
Kenmore ranges can look similar across multiple model series, but parts like a bake element, oven temperature sensor, or surface element control switch can vary by model. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong replacement part.

How many amps does a Kenmore oven use?
A Kenmore electric range like model 79094152310 typically uses 30 to 50 amps on a dedicated 240-volt circuit; the exact amperage depends on the range’s total wattage and how it is wired. For the correct circuit requirement for your unit, follow the specs in the 79094152310 use & care guide and the 79094152310 installation guide.
Typical amperage ranges (what most homes see)
Most electric ranges fall into one of these common setups:
- 30A: smaller or lower-wattage ranges
- 40A: very common for many 30-inch electric ranges
- 50A: higher-wattage ranges or models with more powerful elements
- Dedicated circuit required: ranges should not share a circuit with other appliances
- 240V supply: standard for electric ranges in the U.S.
| Circuit rating | Typical breaker | Typical wire size (copper) | Common use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 amps | 2-pole 30A | 10 AWG | lower-wattage range |
| 40 amps | 2-pole 40A | 8 AWG | many 30-inch ranges |
| 50 amps | 2-pole 50A | 6 AWG | higher-wattage ranges |
How to estimate amps from wattage
If you find the wattage on the model/serial tag or in the installation specs, you can estimate current draw:
- Amps = Watts ÷ Volts
- Example: 9,600W ÷ 240V = 40A
Why it matters
Using the correct breaker and wire size helps your Kenmore range heat properly and prevents nuisance breaker trips, overheated wiring, and damage at the power connection.
