Where can I find my Kenmore electric range model number?
On Kenmore electric range model 79094373700, the model and serial number are printed on the identification (serial) plate located on the right side of the oven front frame, inside the storage drawer or warmer drawer compartment. Use the exact model number to match the correct parts and instructions in the 79094373700 owner's manual.
Where to look on the range
Check these spots in this order (they are the most common for this model family):
- Open the storage drawer or warmer drawer and look on the right side of the oven front frame
- Look for a metal or foil identification plate with both model and serial numbers
- Use a flashlight and wipe away grease or dust so the full number is readable
- Record the full model number (for example, 790.9437* in the manual family) plus the full serial number
Quick steps to find it fast
- Turn the oven light on and pull the drawer fully open.
- Look along the right-side frame rail and front frame area.
- Copy the model number exactly as shown (all digits).
What the label typically includes (and why it matters)
The identification plate usually lists the model number and serial number. That information is what we use to match the correct Kenmore parts like a bake element, oven temperature sensor, or surface element control switch.
| Label item | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures diagrams and parts fit your exact range |
| Serial number | Helps confirm production details when ordering certain parts |
Why it matters
Kenmore ranges often share similar styling across multiple model series, but internal parts (like heating elements, wiring, and controls) can differ. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong part and speeds up troubleshooting.

Why is my Kenmore electric oven not getting hot?
If your Kenmore electric range model 79094373700 oven is not getting hot, the most common causes are a missing power supply condition, an incorrect control setting, or a failed heating circuit component (bake element, temperature sensor, or control). Start with the quick checks in the 79094373700 owner’s manual.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Confirm the clock is set; on this model, the oven may not operate until the time of day is set.
- Verify the range has power (check house lights and the breaker for a power outage or tripped breaker).
- Make sure you selected the correct oven function (Bake vs. Broil) and set a temperature.
- Look for an error code starting with “F”; press Clear/Off to stop beeping, then retry.
- Check that the oven vent area is not blocked (heat and airflow issues can affect performance).
Parts that commonly cause “no heat” on an electric oven
If the quick checks pass, these parts are the usual suspects:
| Symptom | Most likely part | What you’ll notice |
|---|---|---|
| Oven will not heat in Bake, Broil works | Bake element | No red glow from lower element during preheat |
| Oven heats but temperature is inaccurate | Oven temperature sensor | Food undercooks or overcooks consistently |
| Broil does not heat | Broil element | No heat from top element |
Model 79094373700 has these common replacement parts available:
- Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 (sensor feedback to the control)
- Frigidaire range bake element 316413800 (primary heat source for Bake)
- Frigidaire range broil element 316203301 (top heat source for Broil)
Why it matters
An oven that will not heat is often a simple setup or power issue, but a weak bake element or a drifting temperature sensor can also make preheat times long and cooking results inconsistent. Fixing the root cause protects the electronic control and helps the oven hold a steady temperature.
Safety notes before troubleshooting
- Keep the oven vent unobstructed; surfaces near the vent can get hot enough to burn.
- Avoid touching heating elements and nearby surfaces during and after use; they can be hot even when dark.

What is the average lifespan of 79094373700?
A Kenmore electric range like model 79094373700 typically lasts 13 to 15 years with normal household use. Regular cleaning, avoiding overheating, and replacing wear items (like an oven light bulb or heating element) helps you reach that lifespan.
What affects lifespan most
- How often you bake/broil and use the radiant surface elements
- Keeping the oven door seal intact so heat stays in the oven
- Preventing overheating from blocked vents or heavy soil buildup
- Electrical health (tight, non-burned power connections)
- Replacing worn parts promptly instead of continuing to run the range
Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)
- Clean spills quickly to prevent baked-on soil and heat damage.
- Check the oven door for a firm close; replace a worn gasket if heat leaks.
- If the oven temperature seems off, test the sensor and recalibrate if your controls allow.
- Replace a burned-out oven light so you do not open the door repeatedly while cooking.
- If you smell burning or see flickering power, stop using the range and inspect the power cord/terminal area.
Common wear items and what they do
| Part | What you notice when it’s failing | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Bake element | Slow preheat, uneven baking, no heat on Bake | Frigidaire range bake element 316413800 |
| Oven temperature sensor | Oven runs hot/cold, temperature swings | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| Oven light bulb | No interior light | Range oven light bulb 316538904 |
| Oven door seal | Heat escaping, longer cook times, hot handle/front | Frigidaire range oven door seal 316405000 |
Why it matters
A range that holds temperature and keeps heat sealed in cooks more evenly and puts less stress on components like the bake element, broil element, and control switches. That directly supports a full 13 to 15 year service life.
