Kenmore Elite 79571072010 refrigerator Parts

Kenmore refrigerator model 79571072010 is a Kenmore Elite bottom-mount (bottom freezer) refrigerator in the 795.7107 model series. For exact exterior dimensions (height, width, depth), use the specifications section in the 79571072010 owner's manual; that is the most reliable source for the precise “size” of your specific unit.

When customers ask for the size of a refrigerator, it typically refers to one of these:

• Exterior dimensions: height, width, and depth (often depth with and without handles)
• Capacity: total cubic feet (fresh food plus freezer)
• Clearance needs: space behind, above, and on the hinge side for door swing
• Installation fit: whether it fits a cabinet opening and allows airflow

Most Kenmore Elite bottom-mount refrigerators in this class are close to standard full-size dimensions. Use these as planning estimates only, then confirm in the manual:

• Width: about 30 to 33 inches
• Height: about 68 to 70 inches
• Depth: about 33 to 36 inches (varies most with handles and door style)

• Measure in three places (top, middle, bottom) and use the largest number.
• Include handles if the refrigerator will sit in a tight walkway.
• If you have a water line, allow extra room so the line does not kink.
• Confirm door swing clearance if you have nearby walls or an island.

Getting the correct size prevents installation problems like doors that cannot open fully, poor airflow that hurts cooling performance, and water line pinching behind the cabinet.

If your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571072010 is warm at the bottom, the most common causes are blocked airflow (items covering vents), temperature settings that need time to stabilize, or a fan/airflow problem that prevents cold air from circulating down into the fresh food section. Start with airflow and control checks in the 79571072010 owner's manual.

• Make sure food packages are not blocking air vents or the cold air discharge; move items out of the airstream.
• Adjust the refrigerator temperature 1 increment colder, then wait 24 hours before changing anything again.
• Confirm doors close completely and seals are making full contact all the way around.
• Avoid overpacking the lower shelves; leave space for air to circulate.
• If the unit is in a cold area (below about 55°F), cooling performance can be inconsistent.

Bottom-warm symptoms often point to poor circulation from the evaporator area.

• Listen for the evaporator fan running when the compressor is on (a steady fan sound from inside).
• Look for frost buildup on the back interior panel; heavy frost can restrict airflow.
• If you hear unusual fan noise or the fan is not running, the evaporator fan motor is a common fix.

This model relies on controlled airflow to distribute cold air evenly. When vents are blocked or airflow components are struggling, the bottom area can warm up first, and food safety and freshness can suffer.

Common problems we see with the Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571072010 include ice maker and dispenser issues, water leaks, warm temperatures from airflow problems, and a compressor that runs too much. Your 79571072010 owner's manual also highlights door sealing, condenser coil cleaning, and control settings as key reliability factors.

• Not cooling or warm fridge/freezer: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan issue, temperature sensor problem, or sealed system/compressor trouble
• Ice maker not making ice: ice bin uneven or full, ice compartment door not closing tightly, water supply issue, or ice maker assembly failure
• Water dispenser slow or no water: clogged water filter, kinked tubing, or water inlet valve problem
• Compressor runs a lot: frequent door openings, warm room temperature, dirty back cover/coils, or doors not fully closed
• Vibration or rattling: refrigerator not level on the floor (leveling legs need adjustment)

1. Confirm doors seal and close fully (gaskets and alignment matter).
2. Clean condenser coils; the manual calls out coil cleaning as routine care.
3. Check ice compartment door closure; if it is not tight, the ice maker can stop producing ice and food can freeze in the refrigerator section.
4. If the compressor seems to run too much, reduce door openings and allow time after loading groceries; the manual notes modern units can run 40% to 80% of the time at normal room temps.

Most “major” refrigerator complaints start as airflow, door-seal, or water-supply problems. Catching those early helps protect food temperatures, reduces compressor run time, and prevents leaks and ice maker failures.

Water leaking from the bottom of your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571072010 is usually caused by defrost water not draining into the drain pan (most often a clogged or frozen defrost drain) or a leak in the water supply system for the dispenser or icemaker. Use the 79571072010 owner's manual to locate the drain and water line connection points.

• Clogged or frozen defrost drain: Meltwater backs up, then spills into the fresh food section and runs down to the floor.
• Leaking water line connection: A loose compression nut or fitting can drip and track to the bottom.
• Cracked or pinched water tubing: Tubing can split or rub through, especially after moving the refrigerator.
• Icemaker fill leak: Water can overflow or drip during fill cycles.
• Drain pan issue: A shifted or cracked pan can let normal defrost water spill.

1. Look for ice or standing water inside the refrigerator near the back wall or under crisper drawers.
2. Inspect the water line hookup behind the unit for drips.
3. Check for water hammer (banging pipes). The manual notes water hammer can damage parts and lead to leakage.
4. Confirm the icemaker and water supply: If you will be away, the manual recommends turning the icemaker off and shutting off the water supply.

A bottom leak is more than a nuisance; repeated water exposure can damage flooring and can also point to restricted defrost drainage that may lead to ice buildup and poor cooling.

• Water is actively spraying from the rear connection
• You see cracked plastic fittings or damaged tubing
• The leak returns quickly after clearing the drain
