Kenmore Elite 79041023800 electric range Parts

On the Kenmore Elite electric range model 79041023800, the model and serial number are printed on the serial plate located on the oven front frame behind the oven door (on some models) or behind the storage drawer (on some models). Use those numbers when ordering parts or service; see the 79041023800 owner's manual.

Where to look on the range

Check these common label locations first:

• Open the oven door and look along the front frame (door jamb area).
• Pull out the storage drawer and look behind it on the front frame.
• Look for a metal or white sticker labeled Model and Serial.
• Write down the model number, serial number, and any lot number/letter shown.

Quick steps to find it fast

1. Turn the range controls to OFF and let the oven cool.
2. Open the oven door and scan the front frame edges for the serial plate.
3. If you do not see it, slide out the bottom drawer and check behind it.
4. Record the full model number exactly as printed (for example, 79041023800).

What the label typically includes

Model number	Ensures you get the correct Kenmore parts and diagrams

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges often have multiple versions that look similar. Using the exact model number (like 79041023800) prevents ordering the wrong surface element, control panel, or oven sensor.

For the Kenmore Elite electric range model 79041023800, you can reset the oven control by power-cycling the range at the breaker. If the display shows “LOC” or “DOOR LOCKED”, turn off the Oven Lockout feature using the exact keypad sequence shown in the 79041023800 owner's manual.

Reset options that work on model 79041023800

1) Power reset (clears a temporary control glitch)

• Turn the oven off.
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF.
• Wait 2 to 5 minutes.
• Switch the breaker ON.
• Re-set the clock and try Bake.

2) Exit Oven Lockout (when “LOC” or “DOOR LOCKED” appears)

The manual describes an Oven Lockout feature that prevents the oven from being turned on.

• Press and hold the Oven Lockout pad for 3 seconds.
• Listen for a beep.
• Wait for the door to fully unlock; “DOOR LOCKED” flashes until unlocking is complete.

What you see on the display

Display message	Meaning on this model	What to do
LOC	Oven Lockout is active	Hold Oven Lockout pad 3 seconds
DOOR LOCKED flashing	Door is locking or unlocking	Wait until it stops flashing
Door will not open after Self-Clean	Oven is still hot and locked	Let it cool about 1 hour

“Factory reset” expectations

This model supports clearing certain stored programming and returning multiple control adjustments to factory settings through a keypad procedure described in the manual. Use the exact steps in the 79041023800 owner's manual so you press the correct pad(s) for your control panel.

Why it matters

A breaker reset fixes most frozen keypad and odd display issues. Lockout and Self-Clean can also make the oven look “dead” even though the range has power, so checking LOC and DOOR LOCKED prevents unnecessary parts replacement.

The Kenmore Elite electric range model 79041023800 is a 30-inch slide-in range designed to fit a standard 30-inch countertop opening; the installation guide calls out cutout widths around 29 inches to 30 1/16 inches depending on the countertop style. For the exact overall appliance dimensions and oven capacity, use the specs section in the 79041023800 owner's manual.

What “size” usually means for this model

When customers ask for the “size of the oven,” it typically refers to one (or more) of these:

• Range width (fit): the cabinet/countertop opening the range slides into
• Overall exterior dimensions: width, height, depth (including handle)
• Oven capacity: interior volume (cubic feet)
• Interior usable space: rack positions and clearance around pans

What we can confirm from the installation requirements

The installation instructions for model 79041023800 focus on the countertop cutout the range must fit:

• Standard slide-in fit is about 30 inches wide
• Cutout width guidance includes values up to 30 1/16 inches (76.4 cm)
• Some existing openings around 29 inches (73.7 cm) may require additional countertop trimming/clearance
• The countertop must be level for proper baking performance

Quick reference: fit vs. exact dimensions

Measurement type	What it tells you	Best source
Cutout width (opening)	Whether the range will fit the cabinet space	79041023800 installation guide
Overall W x H x D	How far it sticks out, height to cooktop, depth with handle	79041023800 owner's manual
Oven capacity	How much you can bake at once	79041023800 owner's manual

Why it matters

Getting the correct “size” prevents install problems (range not sitting flush, gaps at the countertop) and improves cooking results. A range that is not level can cause uneven baking, so verifying the opening and leveling steps is just as important as the exterior dimensions.
