Where to find model number on Kenmore Electric Range?
On Kenmore electric freestanding range model 79094193317, the model and serial number plate is located on the left side of the warmer drawer frame; open the warmer drawer to view it clearly. For pictures and exact label wording, use the 79094193317 use and care guide.
Quick ways to find the model number label
- Open the warmer drawer fully and look at the left side of the frame.
- Write down both the model number and serial number exactly as shown.
- Take a clear photo of the plate before ordering parts.
- If the label is greasy, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry.
- Keep the information with your purchase records for future service.
What you should record (and why)
The plate typically includes both identifiers; we recommend recording them together.
| Item to record | Example format | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 79094193317 | Ensures parts diagrams and parts fit match your exact range |
| Serial number | Letters and numbers | Helps confirm production details when troubleshooting |
Why it matters
Kenmore ranges often share similar styling across multiple model series (for example, 790.9419*, 9405*, 9618*, 9619*). Using the exact model number from the warmer drawer frame prevents ordering the wrong bake element, control board, or surface element switch.

How to read Kenmore model numbers?
Kenmore model numbers are designed to identify the product line and the original manufacturer; for Kenmore electric ranges like model 79094193317, the leading digits help you match the correct parts and the right Use and Care information.
How Kenmore model numbers are typically structured
Most Kenmore model numbers follow a pattern that helps narrow down parts and documentation:
- Prefix (often 3 digits): identifies the original manufacturer (for example, many Kenmore ranges use a 790 prefix)
- Core model digits: identify the base design or series
- Suffix digits/characters: identify feature or finish variations within that series
- Sometimes a dot is shown in manuals: for example, the Use & Care Guide may list a family like 790.9419*, which corresponds to multiple close variants
How to use the model number for parts and manuals
When ordering parts or looking up instructions, we recommend using the full model number from the rating plate (not just the family number shown in a guide).
- Use the full model number (example: 79094193317) when searching parts
- Match the manual family listing to confirm you are in the right document set
- If your range has multiple variants, the last digits help ensure the correct fit
Quick example (what you may see)
| Where you see it | Example | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Model tag on the range | 79094193317 | Best for ordering exact parts |
| Manual model family | 790.9419* | Covers multiple similar models |
Why it matters
Using the complete Kenmore model number prevents common issues like ordering the wrong bake element, control switch, or oven temperature sensor, especially when a model family includes several variations.
For model-family details and where to locate the rating plate, use the 79094193317 owner's manual.

How do I reset my Kenmore oven control board?
For Kenmore electric range model 79094193317, the most reliable “reset” for the oven control board is a full power cycle: turn the range off, shut off the breaker (or unplug), wait 5 minutes, then restore power and set the clock. This clears many temporary F-code faults and control glitches.
Reset steps (safe order)
- Press STOP to clear any active error code on the display.
- Turn power off at the circuit breaker (preferred) or unplug the range.
- Wait 5 minutes.
- Restore power.
- Set the clock (the control often requires this after power is restored).
- Test Bake or Broil to confirm normal operation.
For control and clock-setting details specific to this model, use the 79094193317 owner's manual.
If an F-code comes back after the reset
If the control panel beeps and shows an F code again after the power cycle, we treat it as a repeating fault. These are the most common next checks:
- Make sure the oven is not in Oven Lock mode (Loc can appear when keys are inactive).
- Check for a loose or damaged wiring connection at the sensor or control (power off first).
- Test the oven temperature sensor circuit; a sensor that is out of range can trigger faults.
- If the oven was just used for Self Clean, let the range cool fully and retry.
Quick symptom-to-part guide
| What you notice | What it often points to | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| F-code repeats, temps seem erratic | Oven temperature sensing problem | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| Display acts normal but heating is inconsistent | Heating circuit issue | Frigidaire range bake element 316413800 |
| Control is unresponsive or behaves unpredictably | Control or wiring issue | (Inspect wiring; control board diagnosis may be needed) |
Why it matters
A power-cycle reset is the fastest way to clear a false fault and restore normal keypad operation without replacing parts. If the same error returns after a 5-minute reset and clock set, the range is usually reporting a real problem (sensor, heating circuit, wiring, or control).

What was the size of the Kenmore 79094193317 oven?
The Kenmore 79094193317 is part of the Kenmore 790.9419* electric range series; the Use & Care Guide covers operation and features but does not list the oven cavity size in the excerpted pages we have. For exact capacity and dimensions, we use the specifications section in the 79094193317 owner's manual.
What “size” can mean (and what to check)
When customers ask for oven size, it usually refers to one of these:
- Oven capacity (cubic feet) for baking and roasting space
- Overall range dimensions (width, height, depth) for fit in a cutout space
- Interior oven dimensions (usable rack width and depth)
- Door swing clearance (space needed in front)
- Electrical requirements (not size, but often needed for installs)
Where to find the exact specs for model 79094193317
We recommend checking these locations first:
- Specifications/dimensions section in the 79094193317 owner's manual
- The installation requirements section in the 79094193317 installation guide
- The model and serial tag on the range (often on the oven frame behind the door or storage drawer area)
Typical size ranges for a Kenmore electric freestanding range
If you are planning space before you confirm the exact spec sheet, most freestanding electric ranges like the Kenmore 790.9419* family commonly fall into these ranges:
| Measurement | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Overall width | About 30 inches |
| Overall height | About 36 inches (adjustable leveling legs) |
| Overall depth | About 25 to 28 inches (varies with handle) |

Why it matters
Using the correct oven and range dimensions helps prevent install problems (clearance, door swing, anti-tip bracket alignment) and ensures you choose compatible accessories like racks and oven liners.
