Who makes Kenmore 79079523603 gas ranges?
Kenmore does not manufacture ranges; Kenmore-branded ranges (including model 79079523603) are built by an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) for Kenmore. For the most accurate identification for your exact unit, match the model and serial information shown in the 79079523603 owner's manual.
Kenmore is a brand name used on appliances produced by different OEMs over time. That means two Kenmore ranges can be made by different companies even if they look similar.
Common ways we see this show up:
- The model number prefix often aligns with a specific OEM family.
- Parts catalogs may list components that are commonly associated with a particular OEM.
- The serial plate details help confirm the exact production run.
Use these checks on your Kenmore Pro dual-fuel range:
- Open the oven door and look for the serial plate on the lower trim area (a common location for this model family).
- Record the full model number and serial number exactly as printed.
- Compare the control layout and key features to the illustrations and feature list in the manual.
- If you are ordering parts, match by model number first, then confirm the part description.
The OEM matters because wiring, control boards, igniters, and sensors can vary by production run. Ordering by the exact model number helps ensure fit and function.
| What you are doing | What to use | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Identifying the exact unit | Model and serial plate | Confirms the correct production version |
| Looking up repair steps | Use and care instructions | Prevents unsafe or incorrect disassembly |
| Ordering replacement parts | Model-based parts list | Ensures compatibility |

What was the size of the Kenmore 79079523603 oven?
For the Kenmore Pro dual-fuel range model 79079523603, the exact oven capacity (cubic feet) and the appliance’s exterior dimensions need to be taken from the model’s specifications section in the documentation. Use the owner's manual and the installation guide to confirm the correct cutout clearances and overall size for your kitchen.
When customers ask for oven size, it typically refers to one of these:
- Oven capacity (cubic feet): how much the oven cavity holds
- Exterior dimensions (width, height, depth): the range’s overall footprint
- Installation clearances: required space to walls, cabinets, and countertop
- Rack system and usable space: how racks position and airflow affect what fits
We recommend using the model-specific documents because auction listings and “similar model” dimensions often don’t match your exact Kenmore Pro configuration.
- Check the specifications/dimensions section first
- Verify whether depth is listed with handle and without handle
- Confirm if height is adjustable via leveling legs
- Use the installation clearances to avoid cabinet and backsplash interference
| What you need | Best place to find it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Overall width/height/depth | Installation guide | Ensures the range fits the opening |
| Minimum clearances | Installation guide | Prevents heat damage and fit issues |
| Oven capacity and features | Owner’s manual | Confirms usable cooking space |
Using the correct dimensions for 79079523603 helps prevent common install problems like a range that sits proud of the countertop, a door that hits adjacent cabinetry, or insufficient airflow around the oven cavity.

How do I reset my Kenmore oven?
For your Kenmore Pro dual-fuel range model 79079523603, the most reliable “reset” is a power reset: turn the range off, shut off power at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power and reprogram the oven. This clears most control glitches and post-outage lockups.
- Power reset (recommended): breaker OFF for 1 minute, then ON.
- Clear an error beep/F-code: press any key to stop beeping and clear the display, then reprogram the oven.
- Cancel a running feature: turn the selector and temperature knobs back to Off (useful after Bake, Broil, or Clean).
- If the display is flashing after an outage: restore power, then set the clock and try programming Bake again.
This model uses a motorized door lock for lockout and self-clean. Do not force the door.
- Oven lockout feature: press and hold the lockout key for 3 seconds, then allow up to 20 seconds for the door to unlock.
- After self-clean: turn both knobs to Off and wait for the oven to cool (typically about 1 1/2 hours) before the door unlocks.
| Symptom | What to do | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Door won’t open, lock icon showing | Wait for unlock cycle; do not force | Lock motor is engaged |
| “d-O” displayed | Close the oven door | Door was left open when Clean was set |
| Control beeps with an F code | Press any key, reprogram; if it returns, record code | Control detected a fault |
A reset restores normal operation after a power interruption, a stuck keypad condition, or a control fault beep. If an F-code keeps returning after a power reset, the issue is usually in a sensor or control circuit, not a setting.
If problems return quickly after resetting, these model-compatible parts are common suspects:
- Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 (temperature sensing and accuracy)
- Frigidaire range oven control board 318601500 (electronic control functions)
For exact control features and lockout steps for model 79079523603, use the owner's manual.
