Kenmore 79096119407 electric range Parts

To reset a Kenmore electric range like model 79096119407, we restore normal operation by clearing a control glitch with a power reset; after power is restored, set the clock and reselect your bake or broil settings as needed (see the 79096119407 owner's manual).

Quick reset steps (power reset)

• Turn the oven OFF.
• Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or unplug the power cord if accessible).
• Wait 2 to 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Reset the clock, then test Bake and Broil.

If the control is locked (LOC)

This model can enter an oven lockout mode where the keypad will not respond normally.

• Press and hold the Oven Lockout pad for 3 seconds.
• Watch the display for “LOC” and the door lock indicator.
• Wait about 15 seconds for the door to lock or unlock.
• Press and hold the same pad for 3 seconds again to cancel lockout.

What to expect after a reset

Situation	What you’ll see	What to do
Power interruption or power reset	Clock is wrong or flashing	Set the clock, then reselect cooking mode
Lockout enabled	“LOC” in display	Cancel lockout (3-second press)
Still not heating	No temperature rise	Troubleshoot heating circuit (bake/broil element, wiring, control)

Why it matters

A power reset clears many temporary electronic control issues. If the range was left ON during a power interruption, it can resume operation when power returns; resetting and rechecking settings helps prevent unexpected heating.

For Kenmore electric range model 79096119407, we find the model and serial number on the appliance identification (serial) plate; on this model family it’s located on the right side of the oven front frame inside the storage or warmer drawer compartment. Use the number exactly as shown when ordering parts or looking up diagrams in the 79096119407 owner’s manual.

Where to look on model 79096119407

On this Kenmore range, check these spots in order:

• Pull out the storage drawer (or warmer drawer, if equipped) and look on the right side of the oven front frame
• Look for a serial plate with both model and serial numbers
• Wipe the plate clean; grease can hide digits
• Write the model number down exactly (including any dots or dashes shown)

Quick checklist: what to record

Having the full ID prevents wrong-part orders and speeds up troubleshooting.

• Model number: 79096119407 (or the full model shown on the plate)
• Serial number
• Purchase date (helpful for service history)
• Color code or suffix (if shown)

Item	What it’s used for	Example
Model number	Matches parts diagrams and compatible parts	79096119407
Serial number	Identifies production run details	(from serial plate)

Why it matters

Kenmore ranges often share similar looks across multiple model series; the exact model number ensures we match the correct bake element, broil element, control overlay, and surface element switch for your specific build.

To replace the oven control board on your Kenmore electric range model 79096119407, we disconnect power, remove the backguard/control panel to access the board, move each wire to the matching terminal on the new board (including the ribbon connector), then reassemble and restore power to test.

Safety first

• Turn off the range at the circuit breaker (240V) before touching any wiring.
• Confirm the cooktop and oven are completely cool.
• Use gloves; sheet-metal edges behind the console are sharp.
• Take a clear photo of the wiring before you move anything.
• If any wire insulation looks burned or brittle, replace the damaged wiring before installing the new board.

Replacement steps (typical for this Kenmore 790 series console)

1. Shut off power at the breaker.
2. Remove the rear access cover/backguard panel to expose the control area (fasteners are usually on the back).
3. If your model uses a control overlay, peel it back only as needed and avoid creasing it.
4. Label wires (or use your photo), then transfer wires one at a time from the old board to the new board.
5. Reconnect the ribbon cable: slide it fully into the connector, then lock the connector.
6. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and verify bake, broil, clock, and keypad functions.

What to check before buying a control board

Symptom	More likely cause	Quick check
Display dead, no beeps	Power supply issue	Verify breaker, terminal block, and outlet voltage
Some keys don’t respond	Overlay/keypad issue	Inspect for bubbling, worn print, or stuck keys
Oven heats wrong temp	Sensor/calibration	Try temperature adjustment and sensor test

Parts that are commonly involved

• If the issue is a stuck or damaged overlay, we match by color and layout: range control overlay 316419141 or range control overlay 316419137.

Why it matters

A correctly installed control board restores safe temperature regulation and reliable keypad operation. Misplaced wires or a loose ribbon connector can cause error codes, no-heat conditions, or intermittent operation.

For model-specific console access, wiring routing, and reassembly notes, follow the 79096119407 owner’s manual and the 79096119407 installation guide.

If your Kenmore electric range model 79096119407 isn’t getting hot, the most common causes are a failed bake or broil heating element, a temperature sensor (probe) problem, or an electronic control issue. Start with a visual check, then test components safely with power off.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the oven is set to Bake (not Delay Start, Timer, or Self-Clean).
• Give it a full 10 to 15 minutes to preheat and verify with an oven thermometer.
• Look for a glowing element during Bake and Broil; no glow often points to an element or control problem.
• If the control is beeping and showing an F-code, clear it with Stop/Clear and note the code for troubleshooting.
• Make sure the door closes fully; heat loss can mimic “not heating.”

Most likely failed parts (and what symptoms look like)

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do next
No heat in Bake, Broil works	Bake element issue	Inspect and test the element 316407501
No heat in Broil, Bake works	Broil element issue	Inspect and test the frigidaire range broil element 316203301
Temperature is way off or heats inconsistently	Sensor/probe issue	Check the probe 316490001 and its wiring
Beeping with F-code	Control detected a fault	Use Kenmore 790 range 4-digit error codes to interpret the code

Safe troubleshooting steps (power off)

1. Shut off the breaker to the range before removing panels or testing.
2. Inspect the bake and broil elements for blisters, cracks, or burn spots.
3. If you have a multimeter, check element continuity; an open circuit means replacement.
4. Check the probe connection at the back of the oven cavity and look for damaged wiring.
5. Review operating and error-code details in the 79096119407 owner's manual.

Why it matters

An oven that will not heat is often a simple electrical failure (element or sensor). Catching it early prevents extended preheat times, undercooked food, and repeated control faults.
