Kenmore 79094193315 electric freestanding range Parts

Kenmore model numbers tell us who built the appliance and which product family it belongs to. For your Kenmore electric freestanding range model 79094193315, the 790 prefix identifies the manufacturer family, and the remaining digits narrow down the exact series and feature set; confirm the full match in the 79094193315 use and care guide.

Quick way to decode a Kenmore model number

Most Kenmore model numbers follow a predictable pattern:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer code (who built it)
• Middle digits: product family and design series
• Last digits/letters: feature package, revision, or finish (varies by product)
• Asterisk or color code (sometimes shown in manuals): indicates finish options for a model family

For this range, the manual groups models like 790.9419*, which is the same family as 79094193315.

What “790” means on Kenmore appliances

The 790 prefix is widely used on Kenmore cooking products (ranges, wall ovens, cooktops) and points to the manufacturer family used for parts lookup and documentation. That is why your range parts often cross-reference Frigidaire-style components such as a bake element, broil element, or oven temperature sensor.

Why the exact model number matters for parts

Even within the same family (example: 790.9419*), small digit changes can affect:

• Oven control board compatibility
• Surface element and control switch style
• Oven door parts (handle, seal, glass)
• Wiring harness and terminal block configuration
• Convection fan motor and blade fit

Example: parts that are model-sensitive

Part type	What changes between close models	Example part for this model
Oven temperature sensor	Connector style, harness length	Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
Surface element switch	Infinite switch rating and shaft style	Frigidaire range surface element control switch 316238201
Broil element	Mounting and wattage	Frigidaire range broil element 316203301

Where to find the model number on the range

Common locations on a Kenmore freestanding electric range:

• Frame behind the oven door (around the door opening)
• Storage drawer frame (remove the drawer and look along the front frame)
• Back panel label

Why it matters

Reading the model number correctly prevents ordering the wrong Kenmore range parts and helps us match the right diagrams, wiring, and installation requirements for safe, reliable repairs.

To reset the Kenmore electric range model 79094193315, turn the range off, restore power (or cycle the breaker), then reset the clock and reselect your oven function. After a power interruption, the control will not resume normal operation until the time is set again; see the 79094193315 use and care guide.

Quick reset steps (most common)

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• If the oven is cooking, press CANCEL/OFF.
• Cycle power:
  • Turn the range breaker OFF for about 1 minute, then ON, or
  • Unplug the range (if accessible), wait about 1 minute, then plug back in.
• Set the time of day on the control panel.
• Select BAKE or BROIL, set temperature, then press START.

If the display shows “LOC” (control lock)

If you see LOC, the oven controls are locked and it can look like the oven “won’t reset.”

• Confirm the oven door is fully closed.
• Press and hold Oven Lock for 3 seconds.
• Wait about 15 seconds for the latch motor to finish unlocking.
• Try setting the clock and starting a bake cycle again.

What to check if it still will not run

Symptom	What it usually points to	What to do next
No display at all	Power supply issue	Check breaker, outlet, and cord connection
Display works, oven will not heat	Heating circuit or control issue	Test bake/broil operation; inspect wiring
Oven heats but temperature is off	Sensor or calibration issue	Consider checking the sensor resistance

Helpful parts commonly involved in “won’t heat” or “temp issues” on this model include the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 and the frigidaire range bake element 316413800.

Why it matters

A proper reset clears a “stuck” control state after a power failure and ensures the range is safe to operate. Resetting the clock is also required for normal timed features and reliable oven operation.
