Kenmore Elite 79572059111 refrigerator Parts

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572059111 is a bottom-freezer design in the 795.7205* model family. For exact exterior dimensions (width, depth, height) and capacity for your specific color code, we recommend checking the specifications section in the 79572059111 owner's manual.

What “size” usually means (and what to check)

When customers ask for refrigerator size, it typically refers to one or more of these:

• Overall exterior dimensions: width, depth, height
• Capacity: total cubic feet (fresh food plus freezer)
• Cutout/clearance needs: space for airflow and door swing
• Door and drawer clearance: room to fully open doors and pull out freezer drawers

How to find the exact dimensions for 79572059111

Use the model family listing in the manual (795.7205*) to confirm your exact variant, then look for the specifications or installation section.

• Locate the model/serial label inside the refrigerator compartment
• Match your full model (including any suffix) to the manual’s covered models
• Use the listed width, depth, and height for planning
• Measure your space and compare to the refrigerator dimensions

Typical planning measurements (helpful if you are measuring a space)

Even before you confirm the exact spec sheet, these are the measurements we recommend taking:

Measurement	What to measure	Why it matters
Width	cabinet opening wall-to-wall	prevents binding and vibration
Depth	wall to front of counters	avoids doors sticking out too far
Height	floor to overhead cabinet	prevents top clearance issues
Door swing	hinge side clearance	ensures doors open fully

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents installation headaches like doors hitting walls, drawers not pulling out, and poor airflow that can lead to warm temperatures and longer compressor run times.

A bottom-mount refrigerator like Kenmore model 79572059111 keeps the fresh-food section at eye and waist level, so you reach everyday items with less bending. The freezer stays below, which helps keep frequently used refrigerated foods easier to see, organize, and access.

Key benefits you will notice day to day

• Less bending for milk, produce, and leftovers because the refrigerator compartment is on top
• Better visibility of fresh foods, which can reduce forgotten items and food waste
• More comfortable access if you have back or knee strain
• Freezer drawer storage can make bulky frozen items easier to stack and separate
• Adjustable shelving helps fit tall items and improves organization (helpful for faster “grab and go” access)

How this design ties into real use on 79572059111

The 795.7205* bottom-freezer platform is designed for frequent fresh-food access and flexible storage. For example, the shelves are adjustable, which helps you customize space for different container heights and can reduce how long the doors stay open (saving energy). For model-specific features and layout details, use the 79572059111 owner's manual.

Bottom-mount vs top-freezer: quick comparison

Feature	Bottom-mount (like 79572059111)	Top-freezer
Fresh-food access	Higher, easier reach	Lower, more bending
Freezer access	Lower drawer	Upper swing door
Best for	Daily fresh-food use	Heavy freezer use

Why it matters

Most households open the refrigerator section far more often than the freezer. Putting fresh food at eye level makes the appliance feel easier to use, helps you stay organized, and can reduce door-open time.

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite 79572059111 bottom-mount refrigerator include warm temperatures (often airflow or sealed-system related), frost buildup from defrost or door-seal issues, water leaks from a clogged drain or water line connection, and dispenser or ice maker troubles. The troubleshooting section in the 79572059111 owner's manual helps narrow the cause.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser area, restricted airflow, evaporator frost, or a failing sealed-system component
• Frost or ice buildup: door not sealing, frequent door openings, or a defrost system problem (sensor, heater, control)
• Water under the refrigerator: defrost drain restriction, water line connection leak, or tubing issue
• No ice or slow ice production: clogged water filter, low water pressure, frozen fill tube, or ice maker fault
• Unusual noises: fan blade hitting ice, worn fan motor, or compressor-related noise

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm temperatures: set fresh food near 37°F and freezer near 0°F; allow 24 hours to stabilize.
2. Check door closing and gaskets: look for gaps, torn seals, or bins preventing full closure.
3. Inspect airflow: keep vents clear; avoid overpacking the fresh food section.
4. Look for frost patterns: heavy frost on the back wall often points to a defrost or airflow issue.
5. Check water supply: verify the shutoff valve is fully open and the line is not kinked.

Parts that commonly solve these issues on model 79572059111

Symptom	Common part to check	Example part for this model
Bad tasting water, slow dispenser flow, no ice	Water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Odors in fresh food section	Air filter	Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
Lights or dispenser behavior changes when door moves	Door switch	Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A
Leaks at the back or inside cabinet	Water tubing	Refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602

Why it matters

Catching airflow, filtration, and defrost problems early helps protect food temperatures and reduces strain on major components like the compressor.

A bottom-mount refrigerator like Kenmore Elite 79572059111 is usually better for everyday convenience because the fresh-food section sits at eye level, so you bend less. A top-mount is often simpler and can be a good value, but it puts the refrigerator compartment lower.

Quick comparison (what most homeowners notice)

Feature	Top-mount (freezer on top)	Bottom-mount (freezer on bottom)
Most-used items	Lower, more bending	Higher, easier access
Freezer access	Easier (at chest/eye level)	More bending for freezer
Organization	Often fewer drawers	Often more drawers/baskets
Typical price	Often lower	Often higher
Repair complexity	Often simpler	Often more features to maintain

How to choose for your kitchen and habits

• Choose bottom-mount if you use fresh foods daily and want less bending for milk, produce, and leftovers.
• Choose top-mount if you use the freezer more often than the fridge, or you want a simpler layout.
• If you like adjustable storage, many bottom-mount designs offer flexible shelving and bins (see your 79572059111 owner's manual for the exact features on your unit).
• If you entertain or buy produce frequently, bottom-mount layouts typically make it easier to see and reach items quickly.
• If you want fewer “extras” to maintain, top-mount models often have fewer convenience features.

Why it matters (comfort, food waste, and energy use)

The “better” style is the one that matches how you reach for food. When the refrigerator section is easier to access, doors tend to stay open for less time, and you are more likely to spot items before they expire.

Tips to get the most out of a bottom-mount like 79572059111

• Keep the refrigerator set to a steady temperature and avoid overpacking vents.
• Use door bins for frequently used condiments and drinks.
• Replace filters on schedule to keep water and ice tasting clean; this model uses a compatible water filter such as genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.
• If doors do not close easily, level the cabinet so it tilts slightly to the rear (leveling guidance is in the manual).
