How do I reset my Kenmore electric range?
To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79094332700, turn the range off and cycle power at the breaker for a few minutes, then restore power and reset the clock and any oven settings. This clears many control glitches after a power interruption.
Quick reset steps (most common)
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- Set the oven control to OFF/CANCEL.
- Switch the range circuit breaker OFF for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Switch the breaker ON.
- Reset the clock and re-enter any cooking functions (the control may require this after power returns).
For model-specific control details, follow the steps in the 79094332700 owner's manual.
If the range was in a power failure
The manual warns not to operate the range during a power failure; if power returns and the range was left on, it can begin operating again. After power is restored, we recommend doing a full power reset (breaker off, then on) and confirming:
- All burners are off
- The oven is not heating
- The clock is correct
- No delayed bake or timer function is active
When a “reset” will not fix the problem
A reset helps with temporary electronic control issues, but it will not correct a failed component. Use this checklist to decide what to check next:
- Oven not heating: suspect a heating circuit issue (bake or broil) or a sensor problem.
- Temperature seems inaccurate: the oven temperature sensor can cause erratic heating.
- Burner stuck on or won’t heat: a surface element control switch can fail.
Common parts related to “won’t heat” or erratic temps
| Symptom | Common suspect | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven heats poorly or overheats | Oven temperature sensor | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| Surface element won’t regulate | Surface element control switch | Range surface element control switch 316436001 |
Why it matters
Resetting the control restores normal operation after a power interruption and helps you confirm the range is truly off before cooking resumes. It is also a safe first step before deeper troubleshooting.

What was the size of the Kenmore 79094332700 oven?
For the Kenmore 79094332700 electric range, the exact oven cavity size (capacity in cubic feet) and the appliance’s exterior dimensions are listed in the 79094332700 owner’s manual. The manual excerpt we have here does not include the dimensions page, so use the manual’s specifications section for the precise measurements.
What “size” usually means for an electric range
When customers ask for oven size, it typically refers to one of these:
- Oven capacity (cubic feet)
- Exterior width (most are about 30 inches)
- Overall height (varies with leveling legs and rear trim)
- Depth (varies with door handle and rear clearance)
- Interior rack space (usable width and depth)
How to find the correct dimensions for model 79094332700
Use these quick checks so you get the right numbers for your exact configuration and color code.
- Look in the manual for “Specifications” or “Product dimensions”.
- Confirm the full model format shown in the manual family (790.9433xxx series); your unit is 790.94332700.
- If you are measuring for a cutout or move, measure the range in place: width, height, depth, and add clearance.
- If you need the serial plate to confirm the model, it’s located on the right side of the oven front frame inside the storage or warmer drawer compartment (as described in the manual).
Typical size ranges (helpful for planning)
These are common ranges for freestanding 30-inch electric ranges like the Kenmore 790 series; confirm exact specs in the manual.
| Measurement | Typical range | What can change it |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior width | ~29 7/8 in to 30 in | Side trim, body design |
| Overall height | ~46 in to 48 in | Leveling legs, floor, rear trim |
| Overall depth | ~25 in to 28+ in | Door handle, rear clearance |
Why it matters
Using the correct dimensions helps prevent fit issues with countertops, anti-tip bracket placement, and electrical cord clearance. It also helps you choose correctly sized oven racks and accessories.

Where is the model number on my Kenmore electric stove?
On Kenmore electric range model 79094332700, the model and serial number are printed on an identification (serial) plate located on the right side of the oven front frame, inside the storage or warmer drawer compartment. Use that label when ordering parts or checking error codes.
How to find the label on model 79094332700
- Turn the range off and let it cool completely.
- Pull the storage drawer or warmer drawer open.
- Look along the right side of the oven front frame for a sticker or metal plate.
- Write down both the model number and serial number exactly as shown.
- Use the format shown on the label (often starts with 790. for this series).
For a diagram of the exact location, use the 79094332700 owner's manual.
Other common places people check (and why they miss it)
Even though many ranges use similar label locations, this Kenmore model is specifically called out as being in the drawer compartment area.
| Location you might check | Why it is less likely on this model |
|---|---|
| Door jamb (around the oven opening) | This model’s documentation points to the drawer compartment instead |
| Back panel near the vent | Often used on other appliances, but not the primary location here |
| Side of the range body | Sometimes used, but the drawer area is the fastest confirmation |
Why it matters
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore 79094332700 parts list, wiring layout, and control features. The serial number helps confirm production details when a part changed during a model run.
