What size is Kenmore refrigerator model 79572052112?
Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572052112 is a bottom freezer (bottom-mount) design; the exact exterior dimensions (width, depth, height) vary by the specific 795.7205* version and are listed in the 79572052112 owner's manual. For planning space, most 33-inch-class bottom-mount units are roughly 33 in W x 31 to 35 in D x 68 to 70 in H.
Use the model and serial label and the spec section in the manual to match your exact variant (the manual covers multiple 795.7205* models).
- Check the model label inside the fresh food section (usually on a side wall).
- Confirm the full model format (for example, 795.7205 plus the color digits).
- Use the manual’s installation and clearance guidance to account for door swing and airflow.
- Measure your opening at three points (top, middle, bottom) to confirm fit.
- Include space for the water line if you use the ice maker or dispenser.
These ranges are common for Kenmore 795 bottom-freezer refrigerators and help you estimate fit before you confirm the exact spec.
| Measurement | Typical range | What can change it |
|---|---|---|
| Width | ~33 in | Door style, trim, hinge caps |
| Depth | ~31 to 35 in | Handles, door thickness, clearance to wall |
| Height | ~68 to 70 in | Leveling legs, hinge cover |
Correct sizing prevents installation problems like doors that cannot open fully, poor ventilation that hurts cooling performance, and water line kinks that can affect the ice maker.
If you are moving the refrigerator or reinstalling it, keeping filtration current helps protect the water system.
- Replace the water filter on schedule to maintain flow to the dispenser and ice maker.
- If water flow is slow after moving, purge air by dispensing several cups of water.
- Inspect the water line for pinches behind the cabinet.

What are the common problems with Kenmore Elite refrigerators?
Common problems we see on the Kenmore Elite 79572052112 bottom-mount refrigerator include warm temperatures (airflow or sealed-system issues), ice buildup from defrost or door-seal problems, water leaks from the drain or water line, and dispenser or ice maker failures. Start with basic airflow, filter, and door checks before replacing parts.
- Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser area, blocked vents, failed evaporator fan, or sealed-system/compressor issues
- Frost or ice buildup: door left ajar, torn door gasket, or a defrost system problem (sensor/heater/control)
- Water under the fridge or in the fresh food section: clogged defrost drain, cracked tubing, or a loose water connection
- Ice maker not making ice: restricted water flow, frozen fill tube, or ice maker module failure
- Unusual noises (buzzing, clicking, rattling): fan hitting ice, loose panels, or compressor/start components
- Confirm the controls are set correctly and the doors fully close.
- Make sure air vents inside the refrigerator and freezer are not blocked by food packages.
- Clean dust from the condenser area and verify the grille area is unobstructed.
- If water flow is slow, replace the water filter and flush the system.
- If the unit has power but acts “confused” after an outage, follow the power interruption guidance in the 79572052112 owner's manual.
| Symptom | Part to check | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Slow water, poor ice quality | Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 | Water flow to dispenser and ice maker |
| Odors, stale air | Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408 | Air circulation and odor control |
| Door light issues, some control behaviors | Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A | Light and door-open sensing |
| Ice maker not producing | Ice maker assembly (AEQ73110203) - refrigerator ice making component by lg AEQ73110203 | Ice harvest and fill cycles |
Cooling, defrosting, and water delivery systems work together. A simple restriction (like a clogged filter) can look like a bigger failure, while ignored frost buildup can block airflow and cause warm temperatures.

Why is my refrigerator not getting cold at the bottom?
If your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572052112 is warmer at the bottom, the most common causes are restricted airflow (blocked vents or overpacked shelves), the unit being in a normal defrost cycle, or a cooling system issue such as dirty condenser area or a failing fan or damper. Use the 79572052112 owner's manual troubleshooting steps to narrow it down.
- Make sure food packages are not blocking air vents; blocked vents prevent cold air from circulating.
- Reduce long or frequent door openings; warm air raises compartment temperature.
- If the refrigerator was recently installed or moved, allow up to 24 hours to stabilize.
- Wait 30 minutes and recheck temps if you suspect a defrost cycle just ran.
- Confirm the controls are not set to OFF and the refrigerator is not in Demo Mode.
In bottom-mount designs, temperature problems often come from airflow and heat exchange. Here are the most likely culprits and what to look for.
| Likely cause | What you notice | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Air vents blocked | Top feels colder than lower shelves | Rearrange items to open vents and pathways |
| Door openings / warm load | Temps rise after shopping or frequent use | Minimize openings; let temps recover |
| Defrost cycle | Temporary warming, then normal cooling | Wait 30 minutes and recheck |
| Poor heat removal at condenser area | Cabinet runs longer, cooling is weak | Clean dust buildup; ensure good airflow around grille |
| Airflow component problem (damper/fan) | Uneven temps, weak airflow | Inspect for ice blockage; service if needed |
If airflow is weak or temperatures stay uneven after the quick checks, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:
- Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004 (dirty or restricted condenser area can reduce cooling)
- Refrigerator air damper ADJ73252235 (controls cold air flow into the fresh food section)
When airflow is restricted or the refrigerator cannot shed heat efficiently, the compressor has to run longer and temperatures become uneven. Fixing vent blockage and keeping the condenser area clean helps restore normal bottom-shelf temperatures and reduces strain on the cooling system.

Why is my Kenmore Elite refrigerator leaking water out of the bottom?
Water leaking from the bottom of your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572052112 is usually caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain, or a leak in the dispenser or ice maker water tubing. Clearing the drain and fixing the water line connection stops most leaks.
- Unplug the refrigerator before moving panels or working near wiring.
- Note where the water appears first: inside the fresh food section, freezer floor, or under the front.
- Check whether the leak happens only during water dispensing or ice making.
- Look for frost buildup on the freezer floor (often tied to a frozen drain).
- Inspect the water line and fittings for drips after the unit runs a few minutes.
| Where you see water | Most likely cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Inside fridge, then onto floor | Defrost drain clogged or frozen | Thaw and flush the drain with warm water |
| Under dispenser side/front | Cracked or loose water tubing | Tighten fittings; replace damaged tubing |
| Near ice bin/freezer area | Ice maker fill leak or icing | Turn off ice maker 24 hours; inspect fill area |
Defrost water should flow through a drain to the pan underneath. When it plugs or freezes, water overflows and leaks out the bottom.
A split tube or loose connection can drip steadily and collect under the cabinet. If you find damaged line, replace it with refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602.
Stopping the leak prevents floor damage, reduces ice buildup that can block airflow, and helps the refrigerator maintain stable temperatures.
- Use the 79572052112 owner's manual for water line connection and troubleshooting guidance.
