Where can I find my Kenmore electric range model number?
For your Kenmore electric range model 9119248012, the model number is printed on a rating label attached to the range cabinet. On most 30-inch Kenmore ranges, you will find it in the oven door area (door jamb) or behind the lower storage drawer.
Common places to check on model 9119248012
- Open the oven door and look along the frame (left or right door jamb).
- Pull out the bottom storage drawer and look on the frame behind it.
- Check the back panel near the power cord entry point.
- Look along the side frame behind the control panel area (less common).
Quick steps to find it fast
- Turn the oven light on and use a flashlight to read small print.
- Open the oven door and scan the door jamb first.
- If you do not see a label, remove the storage drawer and check the frame.
- Write down the full model number exactly as shown (all digits).
What the label looks like (so you know you found the right one)
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts to your exact range | 9119248012 |
| Serial number | Identifying production run | Varies |
| Electrical rating | Verifying power requirements | Varies |
Why it matters
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore range parts and diagrams for your exact build. Even small differences can change which surface element parts, switches, or wiring components fit.
If the label is damaged or missing, use our guide: how to find your appliance model number (and what it means for parts).

Where is the fuse on a Kenmore oven?
On Kenmore range model 9119248012, the “fuse” people mean is usually a thermal fuse or high-limit safety device. It is typically mounted on the back of the range, on or near the rear sheet-metal panel, often close to the bake or broil element wiring/terminals.
What to check first (common fuse locations)
Unplug the range or shut off the breaker before removing any panels.
- Rear access panel: thermal fuse/high-limit is commonly attached to the back panel with 2 screws.
- Near bake element terminals: look for a small, flat device in-line with wiring.
- Near broil circuit wiring: sometimes mounted higher up behind the control area.
- Not in the oven cavity: most electric ranges do not place a replaceable “fuse” inside the cooking compartment.
How to access it safely
- Turn power off at the breaker (240V).
- Pull the range forward enough to reach the back.
- Remove the rear panel screws and lift the panel off.
- Locate the small safety device in the wiring path; take a photo before disconnecting wires.
Quick ID guide: fuse vs. breaker vs. switch
| What you are looking for | Where it is | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal fuse / high-limit | Back of range, near element wiring | Opens if overheating occurs |
| House breaker | Electrical panel | Protects the circuit feeding the range |
| Surface burner infinite switch | Behind control knobs | Regulates cooktop heat |
Why it matters
A blown thermal fuse/high-limit can make the oven or cooktop stop heating even though the display and lights still work. Testing with a meter helps you avoid replacing good parts.

Are Kenmore stoves electric?
Yes, many Kenmore stoves are electric, and your Kenmore model 9119248012 is specifically a 30-inch electric range. Kenmore also makes gas and dual-fuel ranges, so the exact fuel type depends on the model number and how the range is connected.
How to tell if a Kenmore range is electric
Use these quick checks on the range and at the wall:
- Power cord: Electric ranges typically use a thick 3-prong or 4-prong 240V cord.
- Outlet type: Look for a large 240V range receptacle (not a standard 120V outlet).
- No gas line: Electric ranges do not connect to a gas shutoff valve or flexible gas connector.
- Cooktop style: Many electric models use coil elements with drip pans or a smooth glass top.
- Model number match: If your model number matches 9119248012, it is an electric range.
What “electric range” means for cooking and repairs
An electric range uses 240V power to heat the oven and surface elements. Common service items include surface control switches, terminal connections, and oven lights.
| Item | What it affects | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Surface control | Burner heat cycling and temperature control | Infinite switch WB21X36771 |
| Power connection | Range power cord wiring connection point | Terminal block 330031 |
| Oven light | Interior oven visibility | Lamp bulb 40A15 |
Why it matters
Fuel type determines the electrical requirements, installation setup, and which replacement parts fit. Ordering parts by the exact model number (9119248012) prevents mismatches, especially for electrical components like switches and terminal blocks.

How do you reset a Kenmore electric stove?
To reset your Kenmore 9119248012 electric range, we recommend doing a hard power reset: shut off power at the breaker (or unplug the range if accessible) for 1 minute, then restore power and test the burners and oven functions.
Quick reset steps (safe and effective)
- Turn all surface burner knobs to OFF.
- If the range is plugged in and you can reach it safely, unplug it; otherwise switch OFF the range circuit breaker.
- Wait 60 seconds (this clears the control’s temporary memory).
- Restore power (plug back in or switch the breaker ON).
- Test:
- Surface elements heat and cycle normally
- Oven bake starts and begins warming
- Display responds to keypad inputs (if your model has electronic controls)
If the reset does not fix the problem
A reset helps with temporary control glitches, but it will not correct a failed part or a wiring issue. Check these common causes:
- No heat on one surface burner: the burner control (infinite switch) may be failing.
- Intermittent power or dead display: a loose or overheated power connection at the terminal block is common.
- Oven light not working: the bulb may be burned out.
Parts that commonly relate to “won’t heat” or “no power” symptoms
| Symptom after reset | What to check | Part example for this model |
|---|---|---|
| One burner won’t regulate heat | Burner control (infinite switch) | Infinite switch WB21X36771 |
| Range seems dead or power cuts in/out | Power cord connection point | Terminal block 330031 |
| Oven light out only | Light bulb | Lamp bulb 40A15 |
Why it matters
Resetting clears minor electronic faults and helps you quickly separate a temporary control issue from a true failure (like a bad infinite switch, terminal block connection, or wiring problem). For electrical testing, we use the same approach shown in how to use a multimeter to test electrical parts video.
