About this model
Model overview
Compact kitchens are the reason a 24-inch range like the Kenmore 790.90152 shows up so often in San Francisco studios and one-bedroom flats. It is a freestanding electric range with a smoothtop surface, in the Kenmore freestanding smoothtop series. It was sold from April to October 2014 and it is no longer sold new, so most units we see have years of use behind them.
Why age changes the conversation
An older range comes with an older question: is a repair worth it? We give you the facts in a written estimate and leave the choice to you; the article on how to repair or replace a Kenmore appliance lists the factors we weigh without pushing you either way. Exact model matching is especially important here, since a unit no longer sold new needs the right parts identified from its label rather than from a look-alike.
Typical trouble on a smoothtop
- A cooking zone that does not heat, or heats only partly.
- Zone indicator lights that stay on after use.
- Oven that refuses to reach temperature.
- Cracked or scratched glass, which should never be ignored.
- Controls that respond slowly or beep.
Smoothtop surfaces hide the heating elements beneath glass, so a dead zone often involves a hidden element, a switch, or a sensor. Do not keep cooking on glass that is cracked, because spills can reach the electrical parts beneath it.
Owner checks that stay outside the range
Check the breaker, clean the glass with a cool surface, and keep the oven door closing flat. Pots with warped bases make poor contact on a smoothtop and can look like a heating fault, so try a flat pan before you decide a zone has failed. Write down any code and the way the problem began.
Installation in tight kitchens
A 24-inch footprint often means the range fits a snug opening with little room at the sides. We need space to pull it forward, so clear the front and tell us about narrow doorways. The anti-tip bracket should be present; if it is missing, we will point that out.

Not always. The element, a control switch or a sensor under the glass may be the cause; diagnosis tells you which.
That depends on the fault and what the estimate shows. We give you the written estimate so you can decide.
