Kenmore 79096002604 electric range Parts

For a Kenmore range, the model number is printed on the appliance’s identification plate. On Kenmore model 79096002604, the manual specifies that the ID plate is on the right side of the oven front frame, inside the storage or warmer drawer compartment (check the bottom area of that compartment). See the 79096002604 owner's manual for the exact location diagram.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Pull out the storage drawer or warmer drawer and look on the right side of the front frame.
• Check the bottom area of the drawer compartment for the ID plate.
• Write down both the model number and serial number; you often need both for parts lookup.
• If the label is greasy or faded, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and a little dish soap, then dry.

What the model number helps you do

Knowing your exact Kenmore model number (for example, 79096002604) lets us match the correct parts and diagrams for your electric range.

What you need	Why it matters	Example
Model number	Identifies the exact design and parts list	79096002604
Serial number	Helps confirm production details and compatible revisions	Varies by unit
Product type	Narrows parts category (electric range vs. gas range)	Electric range

Tips if you find multiple numbers

• Use the model number for parts ordering; it is usually the longest number on the plate.
• Ignore short codes that look like paint, color, or internal factory codes.
• If your model starts with 790, keep the full number including the last digits.

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges share many similar-looking parts (bake element, surface element control switch, oven temperature sensor), but small model differences can change fit and wiring. Using the exact model number prevents wrong-part returns and repeat repairs.

The Kenmore 79096002604 is a freestanding electric range, but “size” can mean the oven cavity capacity (cubic feet) or the exterior dimensions (width, height, depth). For exact measurements for your specific unit, use the specs and installation clearances in the 79096002604 owner's manual and the 79096002604 installation guide.

What “size” usually means (and what to check)

Use these quick checks so you get the right measurement for cabinets, countertops, and replacement parts.

• Exterior width: most freestanding ranges are about 30 inches wide
• Overall height: typically around 36 inches to the cooktop (leveling legs can change this)
• Depth: commonly 25 to 28 inches to the front of the oven door (handle can add more)
• Oven capacity: usually listed in cubic feet in the specifications section
• Cutout and clearance requirements: listed in the installation instructions (critical for safe fit)

Why the auction dimensions you found may not apply

The dimensions in the referenced auction appear to be for a different Kenmore 790-series model (a dual-oven unit). Kenmore model numbers in the 790 family share design traits, but dimensions and oven capacity can vary by configuration (single oven vs. double oven, storage drawer vs. lower panel, handle style).

Where to find the exact size on the appliance

You can confirm you are measuring the correct model and then match the specs.

• Check the model and serial tag on the oven frame (often behind the storage or warmer drawer area)
• Match the model number exactly: 79096002604
• Use the manual’s specifications and the installation guide’s cabinet opening and clearance section

Typical size ranges (helpful for planning)

Measurement	Typical freestanding electric range range
Width	~29 7/8" to 30"
Cooktop height	~36" (adjustable)
Depth (without handle)	~25" to 28"

Why it matters

Correct oven size prevents installation problems (door clearance, anti-tip bracket alignment, electrical cord strain) and helps you choose compatible accessories and parts like a range bake element 316075103 or frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.

Kenmore model 79096002604 is a Kenmore electric range built for Kenmore by Frigidaire (Electrolux/Frigidaire platform). The key clue is the 790 model prefix used on many Kenmore ranges that were manufactured by Frigidaire; you can confirm the full model and serial on the ID plate location shown in the 79096002604 owner's manual.

How to confirm the manufacturer from the model tag

We recommend verifying the full model number directly from the appliance identification plate so you are matching the correct parts and wiring.

• Pull out the storage or warmer drawer.
• Look on the right side of the oven front frame for the identification plate.
• Confirm the model reads 79096002604 (not a close variation).
• Record the serial number too; it helps when comparing revisions.
• Use that exact model number when ordering parts like a bake element, surface switch, or temperature sensor.

What the “790” prefix means for Kenmore ranges

Kenmore is a brand; different manufacturers built Kenmore appliances over the years. For ranges, the 790 prefix is widely associated with Frigidaire-built Kenmore units.

What you see	What it tells you	Why it matters
Model starts with 790	Commonly Frigidaire-built Kenmore range	Parts, wiring layouts, and error codes align to that platform
Full model 79096002604	Your exact configuration	Ensures correct fit for elements, sensors, overlays, and door parts

Why it matters when ordering parts and troubleshooting

Manufacturer platform affects part fit and diagnostics. For example, if your oven will not heat or temperatures are off, common Frigidaire-platform checks include the bake element, broil element, and oven temperature sensor.

• Bake not heating evenly: consider the range bake element 316075103
• Temperature swings or error symptoms: consider the oven temperature sensor
• Burner not regulating: surface element control switch may be involved
• Display or keypad labeling issues: control overlay may be involved

For fault displays and diagnostic patterns commonly used on this platform, use the Kenmore 790 self-cleaning range error codes reference.

To reset a Kenmore range model 79096002604, turn the range OFF, then restore power by switching the range circuit breaker OFF for 1 minute and back ON. After power returns, reset the clock and any oven settings, because the control clears during a power interruption.

Quick reset steps (power reset)

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• If the oven is running, press OFF/CANCEL (if available) and confirm the display stops.
• Switch the 240V range breaker OFF (or remove the range fuses).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Switch the breaker ON.
• Set the clock, then test Bake and Broil.

If the display shows “LOC” (control lockout)

This model can lock the oven door and disable control pads. If you see “LOC”, cancel lockout first.

• Press and hold the oven lockout pad for 3 seconds.
• Wait for the Door Locked light to stop flashing and the door to unlock.
• Try normal operation again.

What a reset fixes (and what it does not)

Symptom	Reset often helps	Likely needs troubleshooting/parts
Control panel frozen or unresponsive	Yes	If it returns quickly
Wrong time after outage	Yes	No
Oven not heating to temp	Sometimes	Bake element, sensor, wiring
“LOC” showing	No (use lockout cancel)	Door lock system

If the oven still will not heat after a reset, common checks include the range bake element 316075103 and the frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.

Why it matters

A power reset clears minor control glitches and is the correct first step after a power failure. Your range can resume operation when power returns, so resetting the clock and confirming the oven is OFF helps prevent unexpected heating.

For control features and lockout details specific to this model, use the 79096002604 owner’s manual.
