Kenmore Elite 79046613502 electric range Parts

To reset your Kenmore Elite electric range model 79046613502, we recommend doing a simple power reset first (turn the range off at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power). If the control is locked, turn off the Oven Lockout feature using the steps in the owner's manual.

Fast reset options (what to try first)

• Power reset (best first step): Switch the range breaker OFF for 60 seconds, then ON.
• Cancel/clear a stuck cycle: Press Cancel/Stop once, wait 10 seconds, then try Bake.
• Unlock the controls (if you see “LOC”): Use the Oven Lockout steps (press and hold the lockout pad for about 3 seconds).
• After a power outage: Make sure the oven is turned OFF before power returns; the oven can resume operation if it was left on.

If “LOC” or “DOOR LOCKED” is showing

Your range has an Oven Lockout feature that locks the oven door and prevents the oven from turning on (the clock and timer can still work). Use the lockout pad procedure to return to normal operation.

Display message	What it means	What to do
LOC	Oven lockout is active	Press and hold the lockout pad ~3 seconds to clear
DOOR LOCKED flashing	Door is locking or unlocking	Wait for the motorized latch to finish
DOOR LOCKED steady	Door is fully locked	Clear lockout, or wait for self-clean to end

When a “reset” is really a self-clean lock

If the oven is in Self-Clean, the door lock is motor-driven and can take about 15 seconds to fully lock. If the door is locked because a clean cycle is active, canceling the cycle and waiting for the oven to cool is the normal path back to operation.

Why it matters

A power reset clears many control glitches, but a locked door or active self-clean cycle can look like a failed control. Checking for LOC and DOOR LOCKED prevents unnecessary parts replacement and gets you baking again faster.

Yes. Kenmore Elite is Kenmore’s higher-end line, and your Kenmore Elite electric range model 79046613502 is built around premium-style features and controls (including a wide oven temperature range and self-clean capability) compared with basic ranges; exact feature sets still vary by model and configuration.

What “high end” means for Kenmore Elite ranges

Kenmore Elite typically sits above standard Kenmore models in design and feature depth. For an electric range like 79046613502, “high end” usually shows up as more cooking modes, more precise electronic controls, and upgraded fit and finish.

Common high-end traits you will see in this class:

• Electronic oven controls with defined min/max settings
• Self-clean cycle options
• Convection cooking on many Elite configurations
• Warmer drawer controls on many models
• More complex wiring and control components (more serviceable parts)

For model-specific features and control pad functions, use the owner's manual.

Quick comparison: Kenmore vs Kenmore Elite (typical)

Feature area	Standard Kenmore (typical)	Kenmore Elite (typical)
Controls	More basic knobs/timers	More electronic control options
Cooking modes	Fewer modes	More modes (often convection, warmer drawer)
Cleaning	Manual or basic self-clean	Self-clean with more settings
Parts complexity	Simpler assemblies	More sensors, harnesses, and control parts

Why it matters when you are troubleshooting or buying parts

“Higher end” usually means the range relies more on sensors and electronic controls. When performance is off (temperature swings, error tones, uneven baking), diagnosis often starts with the sensor and control system, not just the heating elements.

If you are chasing oven temperature problems on 79046613502, these parts are commonly involved:

• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 (helps the control regulate oven temperature)
• Wiring connections and power input components (for example, a terminal block)
• Control panel sealing and mounting components (helps protect controls from heat and moisture)

Helpful tip: what the control will allow

This model’s control logic enforces minimum and maximum settings. For example, bake and preheat temperatures commonly run from 170°F up to 550°F, and self-clean time is typically limited to a set window. Those limits help you quickly tell the difference between a setting issue and a heating or sensor issue.

For exact settings and how to adjust oven temperature calibration, follow the steps in the owner's manual.

If your Kenmore Elite electric range 79046613502 is not working, the most common causes are a power interruption (often showing a PF message), a loose power cord connection, or a failed heating or control component. Start with power and display checks, then test the heating circuits.

Quick checks first (no tools)

• Confirm the range power cord is fully seated and the outlet is not loose.
• Check your home breaker; electric ranges typically use a 240V double-pole breaker.
• If the cooktop display shows PF, clear it by touching any cooktop ON/OFF pad, then reset the clock (power interruption reset).
• If the display shows "--", the cooktop lockout is active; unlock it using the steps in the owner's manual.
• If only one surface element will not heat, verify you are using the correct knob for that element.

What to troubleshoot based on the symptom

Symptom	Most likely causes	What to do next
Nothing works (no lights, no heat)	No power, loose connection, terminal block issue	Verify breaker and outlet; inspect wiring and the terminal block 5304409888 for heat damage (power off).
Cooktop works, oven does not heat	Oven sensor, heating element, control issue	Check for error messages; test the oven temperature sensor and heating circuits.
Oven heats wrong or shuts off	Temperature sensor out of range	Test/replace the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002.
Surface element will not heat	Incorrect setting, element or switch issue	Try a higher setting; if still dead, test the element and controls.

Safe DIY testing tips (power off)

• Unplug the range or switch the breaker off before removing panels.
• Look for burned wires, melted connectors, or arcing marks near the rear connection point.
• Use a multimeter to check continuity on suspect parts and wiring.
• If you find damaged wiring, repair it correctly before restoring power.

Why it matters

An electric range that loses power or has a failing connection can stop both the oven and cooktop, and overheated wiring at the power connection can cause repeat shutdowns. Clearing a PF message restores operation after an interruption, but recurring PF points to an underlying power issue.
