Kenmore 79093019311 electric range Parts

To reset your Kenmore electric range model 79093019311, turn the range off and cycle power at the breaker (or unplug it if accessible) for about 1 minute, then restore power and reset the clock and any cooking function. See the 79093019311 owner's manual for control-specific steps.

Quick reset steps (safe and effective)

• Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
• Turn OFF the range circuit breaker (or unplug the power cord).
• Wait 60 seconds to let the electronic control fully power down.
• Turn the breaker ON (or plug the range back in).
• Set the clock, then test Bake and a surface element.

If the control is still acting up

A reset clears many temporary control glitches, but it will not fix a failed part. If symptoms return right away, focus on the most common causes below.

• Oven not heating or heats erratically: check the bake element and temperature sensing circuit; the range oven temperature sensor 316233903 is a common suspect when temperatures are inaccurate.
• Broil not working: inspect the frigidaire range broil element 316203200 for visible damage.
• One surface element won’t regulate heat: a failed infinite switch is common; match the burner size to the correct switch such as the frigidaire range surface element control switch 316436001 or frigidaire range small surface element control switch 316436000.
• Display or keypad issues: the control overlay or control board can be involved (verify connections first).

What a reset does (and does not do)

Situation	Reset helps?	What to do next
Power flicker, random beeping, locked-up display	Yes	Power cycle, then set clock
Oven starts heating again after power returns	Sometimes	Turn oven off during outage; reset clock after
Burner stays too hot or won’t cycle	No	Test/replace the correct surface switch
Oven temperature off by 25°F+ consistently	No	Check sensor and bake element

Why it matters

Your 79093019311 range is designed to resume normal operation after power is restored, but you must reset the clock and oven function; cycling power is also the fastest way to clear a temporary electronic control fault.

An electric oven in a Kenmore 79093019311 range is built around heating, temperature sensing, airflow, and safety components. The core parts you will interact with most are the bake and broil heating elements, oven racks, the oven vent, the temperature sensor, and the oven light.

Main electric oven parts (what they do)

• Bake element: bottom heating element that provides most baking heat (common “oven not heating” suspect). See frigidaire range bake element 316225001.
• Broil element: top heating element for high-heat broiling and browning. See frigidaire range broil element 316203200.
• Oven temperature sensor: tells the control how hot the oven is so it can regulate heat. See range oven temperature sensor 316233903.
• Oven control and keypad/overlay: sets bake/broil, time, and temperature; displays codes and settings.
• Oven racks: hold cookware; rack position affects browning and airflow.
• Oven vent: exhausts warm air; on this model it is under the left side of the control panel and must not be blocked.

Quick “parts map” by location

Location in oven	Common parts you will find	What you notice when it fails
Top of oven cavity	Broil element	Weak broil, poor browning
Bottom of oven cavity	Bake element	Slow preheat, no bake heat
Rear wall (inside)	Temperature sensor	Overheats, underheats, error codes
Under control panel area	Oven vent	Heat escaping, uneven baking if blocked
Oven light area	Light bulb and socket	No interior light

Why it matters

Knowing the major components helps you troubleshoot faster. For example, uneven baking can be airflow related (rack placement and venting), while temperature swings often point to the sensor or heating element.

Tips for safe checks and better results

• Turn off power at the breaker before inspecting or replacing parts.
• Do not touch heating elements until fully cool; they can be hot even when dark.
• Do not block the oven vent; it is required for proper air circulation.
• Leave about 2 to 4 inches of space around cookware for airflow.
• Avoid lining the oven bottom with foil; it can create overheating and electrical hazards.

On Kenmore electric range model 79093019311, an oven that “stops working” is usually caused by a power interruption (tripped breaker), a control fault showing an F or E code, or a failed heating or sensing part such as the bake element, broil element, temperature sensor, or control board. See the 79093019311 owner's manual for model-specific checks.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the range has power; reset the circuit breaker (or replace the fuse) if tripped.
• If the display is blank after a power event, restore power and reset the clock.
• If the control is beeping and shows an F or E code, press STOP/CLEAR to clear it.
• Turn power off to the range for 5 minutes, then restore power and try Bake or Broil again.
• If the oven heats unevenly or shuts down mid-cycle, suspect a sensor or control issue.

Most common failed parts (electric oven)

When power is good but the oven will not heat or heats inconsistently, these parts are the usual suspects:

Symptom	Most likely cause	Example part for this model
Bake does not heat, broil works	Failed bake element	Frigidaire range bake element 316225001
Broil does not heat, bake works	Failed broil element	Frigidaire range broil element 316203200
Temperature swings, long preheat	Faulty temperature sensor	Range oven temperature sensor 316233903
Random beeping, recurring F/E codes	Oven control problem	Frigidaire range oven control board 316455420

Error codes and what they mean

If you see an error code, use a Kenmore 790-specific chart to narrow the failure to wiring, sensor, keypad, or the electronic oven control.

• Use the code to identify the circuit involved (sensor, door lock, control, etc.).
• Clear the code, power-cycle for 5 minutes, then retest.
• If the same code returns, focus on the component the code points to.

For code lookups, use Kenmore 790 self-cleaning range error codes.

Why it matters

An oven can “stop working” for simple reasons (breaker trip or a temporary control fault), but repeated shutdowns often trace back to a failing bake element, temperature sensor, or control board. Catching the cause early prevents poor baking results and repeat nuisance errors.

On Kenmore electric range model 79093019311, the model and serial number are on the identification (serial) plate. We find it by opening the storage drawer; the plate is attached to the lower right oven frame. Confirm the exact location in the 79093019311 owner's manual.

Where to look on the range

• Pull out and open the storage drawer at the bottom of the range.
• Look at the lower right side of the oven frame (inside the drawer opening).
• Find the identification plate with Model No. and Serial No.
• Write the numbers down exactly as shown (letters and digits).
• Keep the info with your purchase records for parts lookup and service.

Quick checklist: model number vs. serial number

Item	What it tells you	How it’s used
Model number	The exact product design and configuration	Matching the correct parts (bake element, control board, switches)
Serial number	The unit’s unique production identifier	Service history, manufacturing details, warranty/service verification

Why it matters

We use the model number to match parts that can look similar but fit differently, such as a surface element control switch, oven temperature sensor, or a bake element. Using the full model number helps prevent ordering the wrong replacement part.
