Kenmore Refrigerator 79578002210 FAQs

Kenmore model numbers are designed to identify the product type and the manufacturing source; for your Kenmore refrigerator model 79578002210, the leading digits are the key identifier we use to match the correct parts list and documentation, and the remaining digits narrow down the exact version.

Where to find the model number on a Kenmore refrigerator

We recommend checking these common locations first:

  • Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
  • On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the light
  • On the door frame (open the refrigerator door and look around the perimeter)
  • On the back exterior panel
  • Near the crisper drawer area (side wall or frame)

If the label is hard to read, take a clear photo and zoom in; you need the full model number for accurate part matching.

How Kenmore model numbers are typically structured

Most Kenmore model numbers follow a pattern where the first three digits act like a prefix that points to the manufacturing source, and the remaining digits identify the design series and feature set.

Section of model number What it usually tells us Example using 79578002210
Prefix (first 3 digits) Manufacturing source family 795
Middle digits Series/platform and configuration 7800
Ending digits Version, color, or engineering revision 2210
How to use the model number to get the right parts

For model 79578002210, we use the full number to pull the exact Kenmore top-mount refrigerator parts breakdown and compatible replacements.

  • Match the full model number exactly (all digits)
  • Use the parts list for your model before ordering
  • Compare the part name and part ID, not just a description
  • If you are troubleshooting water or ice issues, confirm whether your unit has an ice maker and water line connected

You can order replacement parts for your Kenmore 79578002210 from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Why it matters

A single digit difference can change the correct door bin, shelf, gasket, control board, or water inlet valve; using the full model number prevents ordering a part that does not fit.

For model-specific diagrams and identification help, use the 79578002210 owner's manual.

Your Kenmore refrigerator model number is printed on a rating label inside the cabinet. On Kenmore model 79578002210-style top-mount refrigerators, the label is most often on an inside wall of the fresh food section or freezer, sometimes behind the crisper drawers or near the lower front (kickplate) area. Use the model number to match the correct parts and diagrams in the 79578002210 owner's manual.

Where to look for the model number label

Check these common spots in this order:

  • Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (upper area)
  • Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall or back wall
  • On the frame just inside the door opening (hinge side)
  • Behind or beside the lower crisper drawers (remove drawers to see the wall)
  • Near the bottom front behind the kickplate or toe grille (if your design allows access)
What the label looks like and what to write down

The rating label usually includes several identifiers. Record them exactly as shown.

Label item What it’s used for Example format
Model number Correct parts list and fit 79578002210
Serial number Production run details Letters and numbers
Electrical ratings Troubleshooting and safety checks Volts/amps
Why it matters when ordering parts

Kenmore model families can look similar, but parts can differ by revision. Using the exact model number helps us match the right replacement parts, such as a door switch, door gasket, or water inlet valve.

If you are ordering parts for model 79578002210, you can match by description and ID, for example the lg refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A or the refrigerator water inlet valve assembly AJU55759303. For broader model searches, use Sears PartsDirect.

Your Kenmore refrigerator model 79578002210 has a specific rated capacity (cubic feet) listed on its model and serial rating label; that label is the most accurate way to confirm the exact cubic feet for your unit. We also list model-specific documentation you can use to verify the published capacity in the 79578002210 owner's manual.

Where to find the cubic feet (fastest methods)

Check these locations in order; one of them will show the rated capacity in cubic feet:

  • Rating label inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall near the crisper area)
  • Rating label inside the freezer compartment (sometimes on a side wall or ceiling)
  • Owner documentation for model 79578002210 (specifications section) in the 79578002210 owner's manual
  • Product listing specs when you look up the exact model number 79578002210 on Sears PartsDirect
What “cubic feet” means on a top-mount refrigerator

Cubic feet is the total interior storage volume (fresh food plus freezer). It is a useful spec for comparing refrigerator sizes, but it does not tell you how shelves, bins, and drawers are laid out.

Why it matters

Knowing the correct cubic feet helps when you are:

  • Comparing replacement refrigerators by size class
  • Choosing storage accessories (bins, shelves, drawers) that match your layout
  • Troubleshooting temperature complaints (overpacking can restrict airflow)
  • Planning food storage zones (crisper, deli drawer, door bins)
Quick reference: where the number is shown
Source What you will see Accuracy
Rating label Exact rated capacity for your unit Highest
Owner’s manual Published capacity/specs for the model High
Online model lookup Listed capacity for the model High (verify with label)

Most Kenmore refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life. For your Kenmore 79578002210 top-mount refrigerator, lifespan depends most on airflow (clean condenser area), tight door sealing, and fixing cooling or water system issues early; the 79578002210 owner's manual covers the care routines that protect performance.

Typical lifespan ranges (what we see most often)
  • Average: 10 to 15 years
  • Often achievable with good maintenance: 15 to 20 years
  • Shortened lifespan is common when: condenser airflow is restricted, doors do not seal, or temperatures run warm for long periods
Condition What it usually leads to What to do
Coils and condenser area kept clean Lower compressor run time Clean dust and pet hair regularly
Door gaskets seal tightly Stable temps, less frost Inspect and correct gaps
Water system maintained (if equipped) Fewer leaks and ice maker issues Replace failed valve or ice maker parts promptly
Warm temps or heavy frost ignored Higher wear on sealed system Troubleshoot early and correct airflow/defrost issues
Maintenance that extends refrigerator life
  • Keep the condenser area clean so heat can dissipate properly.
  • Confirm doors close fully and do not pop open.
  • Check for torn, warped, or dirty door gaskets; correct sealing problems.
  • Keep vents inside the fresh food section and freezer clear of food packages.
  • Address water leaks quickly to prevent corrosion and fan or control damage.
Parts that commonly affect longevity on this model

When these parts fail, the refrigerator often runs longer, warms up, or leaks, which accelerates wear:

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs warm, frosts up, or leaks water typically forces longer run times and higher stress on the compressor and controls. Simple upkeep and timely part replacement usually adds years of reliable cooling.

Kenmore Elite refrigerators commonly have cooling problems, ice maker or water dispenser issues, water leaks, and door sealing or alignment problems. On Kenmore model 79578002210, these symptoms often trace back to airflow restrictions, dirty condenser areas, a failing fan or damper, or a water supply component; use the owner's manual for model-specific checks and settings.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them
  • Not cooling or warm temperatures: blocked air vents, dirty condenser area, weak condenser fan, or an airflow control problem
  • Freezer cold but fridge warm: air damper not opening, iced-up evaporator area, or blocked return vents
  • Ice maker not making ice: low water pressure, clogged filter, or a water inlet valve problem
  • Water leaking: clogged defrost drain, cracked water line, or valve seepage
  • Door not closing or sweating around the gasket: gasket not sealing, hinge wear, or door alignment issues
Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts
  1. Set temperatures to typical targets: 0°F freezer and 37°F refrigerator.
  2. Make sure food packages are not blocking interior vents.
  3. Clean dust from the condenser area (unplug first).
  4. Listen for fan operation: evaporator fan (inside) and condenser fan (near compressor).
  5. If you have an ice maker, confirm the shutoff arm is down and the water supply valve is fully open.
Parts that commonly solve these problems on 79578002210
Symptom Part to consider What it affects
No ice, slow fill, dispenser issues Refrigerator water inlet valve assembly AJU55759303 Water flow to ice maker and dispenser
Fridge warm, freezer OK Refrigerator air damper motor 4681JB1027N Airflow from freezer to fresh food section
Door light issues, door ajar alarms, intermittent cooling from door not sensing closed Lg refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A Door-closed signal to controls
Frost, moisture, poor sealing Refrigerator door gasket ADX52752650 Air seal at the door
Why it matters

Cooling and ice maker complaints are often airflow or water-supply problems, not a sealed-system failure. Fixing a damper, valve, or door seal early helps prevent temperature swings, food spoilage, and excessive frost.
