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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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)

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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.
