For Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572373312, the exact cubic-foot capacity is listed on the model’s rating label and in the 79572373312 owner’s manual. Most Kenmore 795-prefix bottom-mount refrigerators fall in the 20 to 22 cu. ft. range, but the label/manual gives the precise number for your unit.

Where to find the exact cubic feet (fastest methods)

• Check the rating label inside the fresh food compartment (commonly on a side wall near the crisper area).
• Look for wording like “Total capacity”, “Capacity”, or “cu. ft.”
• Confirm the full model number matches 79572373312 exactly.
• Use the capacity value when ordering shelves, bins, or filters so you get the right fit.

What the “795” prefix means

Kenmore model numbers that start with 795 are commonly associated with LG-built designs. That prefix helps identify the manufacturing platform, but it does not tell you the capacity by itself.

Typical capacity range (helpful for planning)

If you are estimating space for groceries or comparing refrigerators, this is a practical guide for many bottom-mount units in this family:

Refrigerator style	Typical capacity range
Bottom-mount (common)	20 to 22 cu. ft.
Larger bottom-mount variants	22 to 25 cu. ft.

Why it matters

Capacity affects how the refrigerator is configured inside (shelf spacing, bin sizes, and airflow). It also helps when choosing maintenance items like a genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 and planning filter-change intervals.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator like model 79572373312 typically lasts 12 to 15 years with normal household use. Keeping airflow clear, cleaning key components, and maintaining door seals helps the sealed system and compressor run less, which extends service life.

What affects lifespan the most

• Condenser cleanliness: Dust buildup makes the compressor work harder.
• Door seal condition: Air leaks cause longer run times and temperature swings.
• Ventilation space: Tight cabinets trap heat and shorten component life.
• Ice maker and dispenser use: Heavy use increases wear on moving parts.
• Power quality: Surges and frequent outages stress electronics and the compressor.

Maintenance checklist (best return for the effort)

Use the maintenance schedule in the 79572373312 owner's manual.

• Vacuum condenser area and grills regularly (more often with pets).
• Keep food from blocking interior air vents.
• Clean and inspect door gaskets; replace if torn or warped.
• Replace filters on schedule to protect water flow and taste.
• Level the refrigerator so doors close fully and consistently.

Common wear items and what they do

Item	What it impacts	Typical symptom when overdue/worn
Water filter	Water taste, flow to dispenser/ice maker	Slow dispense, odd taste/odor
Air filter	Odors in fresh food section	Persistent smells
Door gasket	Temperature stability, frost control	Condensation, frost, warm spots

For this model, common replacements include the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801, the lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408, and the refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer to hold temperature uses more electricity and puts extra load on the compressor and start components. Simple airflow and sealing maintenance helps your Kenmore Elite refrigerator cool efficiently and reach the full 12 to 15 year lifespan.

Common problems we see with Kenmore Elite refrigerators like model 79572373312 include warm temperatures, ice maker or water dispenser issues, leaks, frost buildup, and door sealing problems. Many of these symptoms trace back to airflow, filtration, or dispenser components and can be diagnosed quickly with a few checks from the 79572373312 owner’s manual.

Most common symptoms and what they usually mean

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser area, airflow restriction, or a sealed-system issue
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply problem, frozen fill path, or ice maker failure
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged filter, air in the line, or dispenser lever issue
• Water leaking or puddles: blocked defrost drain, loose water line, or door not sealing
• Frost buildup in freezer: door gasket leak, frequent door openings, or defrost system trouble
• Bad odors: expired air filter, spills, or food stored uncovered

Quick checks we recommend first (before replacing parts)

1. Confirm temperature settings; most refrigerators run best around 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer.
2. Make sure vents inside the compartments are not blocked by food packages.
3. Check the door seal for gaps and verify the doors close on their own.
4. If water flow is weak, replace the water filter and flush several gallons.
5. Listen for the evaporator fan; no airflow usually means a fan or frost issue.

Parts that commonly solve these problems on 79572373312

Problem	Common fix	Example part for this model
Bad-tasting water or slow dispensing	Replace water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Odors in fresh food section	Replace air filter	Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
Door not sealing, frost, sweating	Replace door gasket	Refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461
No ice production	Replace ice maker assembly	Refrigerator ice maker AEQ73110203

Why it matters

Cooling, ice, and leak complaints often start small, but they can lead to spoiled food, recurring frost, or water damage. Catching a weak door seal, clogged filter, or airflow restriction early keeps the compressor from running excessively and helps the refrigerator hold steady temperatures.

If your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572373312 is warm at the bottom, the most common causes are restricted airflow (blocked vents, overpacked drawers), an evaporator fan or air duct issue, or a defrost problem that leaves frost buildup and prevents cold air from circulating into the lower section. Check settings and airflow first, then inspect for frost and fan operation using the 79572373312 owner's manual.

Quick checks that fix many “warm bottom” complaints

• Set the refrigerator to 37°F and freezer to 0°F, then wait 24 hours for stabilization.
• Make sure food packages are not blocking air vents (especially near the back wall).
• Confirm drawers and bins are fully seated so they do not obstruct airflow.
• Clean the condenser area and ensure the unit has breathing room around it.
• Listen for the evaporator fan (usually a steady whir when the compressor is running).

What to look for (symptoms and likely causes)

What you notice	Most likely cause	What to do next
Freezer is cold but fresh food bottom is warm	Airflow restriction or duct issue	Clear vents; inspect the air duct path
Frost/ice on back wall inside freezer	Defrost system problem	Defrost fully; check if frost returns quickly
No fan sound, temps drift warm	Evaporator fan not running	Check for ice blockage; test fan circuit
Both sections warming, compressor runs a lot	Dirty condenser coil or sealed system issue	Clean coil; if no improvement, service may be needed

Parts that commonly relate to poor cooling and airflow

These parts are model-specific options we often see involved when cooling is uneven:

• Refrigerator duct assembly ADJ73252223 (moves cold air into the fresh food section)
• Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004 (releases heat; dust buildup reduces cooling)
• Refrigerator compressor start relay EBG60663230 (helps the compressor start and run)

Why it matters

Bottom-warm conditions usually mean cold air is not reaching the lower fresh food area. Fixing airflow and heat removal early helps prevent food spoilage and reduces compressor run time and energy use.

On Kenmore Elite model 79572373312, a bad compressor shows up as poor cooling with the unit running almost constantly, unusual buzzing or clicking near the back, and the compressor area getting very hot. Before condemning it, we confirm airflow, condenser cleanliness, and start components using the 79572373312 owner's manual.

Quick symptoms that point to a compressor problem

• Refrigerator and freezer temperatures keep rising even though the compressor runs
• Loud humming, buzzing, or repeated clicking from the compressor compartment
• Compressor is extremely hot and then shuts off (overload trips)
• Breaker trips or the unit repeatedly loses power when the compressor tries to start
• Frost pattern is weak or uneven (often paired with long run times)

What to check first (most common non-compressor causes)

1. Condenser coil is clogged; clean it and verify the condenser fan is running (if equipped). A dirty coil can mimic a failing compressor.
2. Start relay/overload is failing; a bad relay can cause clicking and no-start even when the compressor itself is OK.
3. Airflow issues; blocked vents, a failed evaporator fan, or heavy frost from a defrost problem can cause warm temps.
4. Door sealing problems; warm air leaks force long run times and poor cooling.

Helpful part matches for this model

What you’re checking	What it affects	Model-matched part to consider
Dirty heat exchanger	High temps, long run time	Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004
No-start or clicking	Compressor won’t start reliably	Refrigerator compressor start relay EBG60663230
Compressor overheats	Trips off on overload	Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D
Sealed system restriction	Poor cooling, odd pressures	Refrigerator filter dryer ADH73150208
Confirmed compressor failure	No cooling even with good airflow and start parts	Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801

Simple at-home checks (no special tools)

• Listen at the back: steady hum suggests it is running; repeated click every few minutes suggests start trouble.
• Feel for airflow: warm air should move out near the condenser area when running.
• Check temperatures: if both sections are warm and it runs nonstop, focus on condenser coil, fans, and start relay first.
• Inspect door gaskets: look for gaps, tears, or areas that do not grip a dollar bill.

Why it matters

Replacing a compressor is a major repair. Verifying basics like condenser coil condition, door sealing, and the start relay prevents unnecessary sealed-system work and gets cooling restored faster.
