Kenmore Range/Cooktop Repair (Model 79094332700) – Homeworth, OH

A Homeworth homeowner called when their Kenmore range’s front right burner suddenly quit working. We found the surface element had failed completely — a common issue on this model that affects daily cooking routines.

The Problem

The customer reported that the front right burner stopped heating entirely. They could turn the control knob, but no heat was generated from that element position. The other burners were still functioning normally.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the surface element was open — meaning the heating coil had broken internally and could no longer conduct electricity. The element connections were secure, and the control switch was working properly. The middle eye also showed signs of failure during our inspection.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 316555800 — surface element
• Work performed: Removed the failed element and installed the new replacement
• Result: Burner powered on immediately and heated to full temperature

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore model 79094332700 is a solid mid-range unit that typically provides years of reliable service. Surface element replacement is one of the most straightforward repairs, and these ranges often outlast their repair costs by many years when properly maintained.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Ranges

• Remove and clean surface elements monthly — lift them out and wipe down the drip pans to prevent grease buildup
• Check element connections periodically — they should plug in snugly without wobbling or sparking
• Keep the area under burners clear of spills that can cause premature element failure
