Kenmore 79091069604 electric range Parts

To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79091069604, shut off power at the breaker (or unplug the cord if accessible) for about 1 minute, then restore power. This clears many control glitches and can restore normal heating and display operation.

Quick reset steps (safe and effective)

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (preferred) or unplug the range.
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Turn the breaker ON (or plug back in).
• Set the clock, then test Bake at 350°F and a surface element.

If the reset does not fix the problem

A reset helps with temporary electronic lockups. If the issue returns right away, a component may be failing.

• Oven not heating or temperature is erratic: the oven temperature sensor is a common cause; see range oven temperature sensor 316233903.
• Bake works but broil does not (or vice versa): a failed heating element is likely; see frigidaire range bake element 316225001 and frigidaire range broil element 316203200.
• Surface element will not turn on or stays on high: the infinite switch can fail; see frigidaire range small surface element control switch 316436000.
• Oven light will not work after reset: check the bulb and socket; see appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904 and range light socket 316116400.

What the reset actually does (and why it matters)

Resetting power reboots the electronic oven control and can clear minor faults caused by power blips or a stuck keypad. If a sensor, element, or control is failing, the range may work briefly after a reset and then act up again.

Symptom after reset	Most likely area to check	Common next step
Display works, oven still cold	Heating circuit	Test bake/broil elements and wiring
Oven heats but temps are off	Temperature sensing	Check sensor and connections
Burner stuck on or won’t heat	Surface control	Inspect/replace infinite switch

The PF code on your Kenmore 79091069604 electric range means the control detected a power failure or power interruption. In most cases, you can clear it by pressing Cancel/Stop (or Clear/Off) and then resetting the clock.

How to clear the PF code

• Press Cancel/Stop once; if the display does not clear, press it a second time.
• If the clock is flashing, set the time of day.
• If PF returns immediately, unplug the range or switch OFF the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power.
• If the oven was running when power dropped, reselect Bake/Broil and restart cooking.
• If the display is blank or erratic after power is restored, check the house breaker for a tripped condition.

What usually causes PF on an electric range

Cause	What you’ll notice	What to do next
Brief outage or flicker	PF shows after power returns	Clear code; reset clock
Loose power cord or terminal connection	PF happens when you move the range or use the oven	Inspect power connection (power off)
Weak breaker or supply issue	PF repeats randomly	Have the circuit checked
Control issue	PF persists even with stable power	Troubleshoot control and wiring

Why it matters

A PF code is often harmless, but repeated PF events can point to a loose electrical connection. On an electric range, a loose connection can cause overheating at the power hookup and lead to intermittent operation.

Parts that can be involved (when PF repeats)

If PF keeps coming back after you confirm stable power, we focus on the power connection and control circuit:

• Terminal block and power cord connections (common source of intermittent power)
• Wiring harness connections at the control
• Oven control (if it misreads incoming power)

For the power hookup, the part most often associated with a damaged connection is the universal/multiflex (frigidaire) range terminal block 5303935271.

You can find the model number for your Kenmore electric range 79091069604 on the appliance’s identification label, which is typically placed where it stays readable but protected from heat and spills. On most ranges, it’s easiest to spot around the oven opening or storage drawer area.

Most common model number label locations

Check these spots first (in this order):

• Oven door jamb: open the oven door and look along the frame around the opening
• Storage or warming drawer area: pull the bottom drawer out and look on the frame behind it
• Back of the range: on the rear panel near the venting area (you may need a flashlight)
• Side frame: along the side of the unit, usually near the lower front edge
• Under the cooktop edge (less common): visible only when the cooktop is lifted on some designs

What the label looks like (and what to write down)

The tag usually includes several identifiers. We recommend recording:

• Model number (example: 79091069604)
• Serial number (helps confirm production run)
• Electrical rating (volts/amps), useful for installation checks

Quick ID guide

You see on the label	What it’s used for	Why it matters
Model number	Finding exact parts diagrams	Ensures the part fits your exact range
Serial number	Version and production details	Helps avoid ordering a similar but incorrect part
Electrical rating	Power requirements	Helps prevent wiring and breaker mismatches

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges often share similar styling across multiple models, but internal parts can differ. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct items, like a frigidaire range bake element 316225001 or a range oven temperature sensor 316233903, to your specific configuration.

If the label is hard to read

• Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild dish soap; dry fully
• Use a flashlight at an angle to make faint printing stand out
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in
• Copy the model number exactly, including any leading zeros
