How to tell cubic feet of Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore refrigerator model 79573063410, the most reliable way to get the exact cubic-foot capacity is to look it up in the specifications section of the 79573063410 owner's manual. If you need a quick estimate, we can calculate it from the usable interior dimensions.
- Check the specs in the manual for model 795.7306* coverage (your model falls in that group). Use the 79573063410 owner's manual.
- Search by the full model number (not just “795.7306”) because Kenmore capacity can vary within a series.
- Estimate by measuring the interior (helpful if shelves and bins differ from original).
- Use the prefix as a clue only: “795” commonly indicates an LG-built Kenmore, but it does not reliably encode capacity by itself.
- Empty the compartment you are measuring (fresh food and freezer are usually calculated separately).
- Measure the usable interior space in inches:
- Width (left to right)
- Depth (back wall to inside of door gasket line)
- Height (floor to ceiling of the compartment)
- Multiply:
W x D x Hto get cubic inches. - Convert to cubic feet: divide by 1,728.
| What you have | Convert to | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| Cubic inches | Cubic feet | cubic inches ÷ 1,728 |
| Inches (W, D, H) | Cubic inches | W × D × H |
- Door bins, ice maker housing, and air ducts reduce usable space.
- Shelves and drawers do not change the cabinet size, but they change what you can practically store.
- Frost buildup or blocked vents can make the refrigerator feel “smaller” because airflow is restricted.
Knowing cubic feet helps us match the right replacement parts and maintenance items (like a water filter or air filter) and helps you compare storage capacity accurately when planning food storage or a replacement refrigerator.

How to tell if a Kenmore refrigerator compressor is bad?
On Kenmore model 79573063410, a bad compressor usually shows up as poor cooling (fresh food or freezer warming), the unit running almost constantly, unusual buzzing or clicking near the back, or repeated start attempts that never settle into a steady run. Confirm basics first using the 79573063410 owner's manual.
- Verify temperature settings and give the refrigerator 24 hours to stabilize after changes.
- Clean dust from the condenser coil area; restricted airflow can mimic compressor failure.
- Listen at the rear lower area: repeated click, hum, then silence often points to a start issue.
- Check for warm air movement inside; if fans run but temperatures rise, sealed-system issues become more likely.
- If the refrigerator is completely dead (no lights, no display), focus on power and controls before the compressor.
A failed start device can look like a “bad compressor.” Here is a practical way to separate the two.
| What you notice | More likely cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Click every few minutes, compressor never stays on | Start relay/overload problem | Inspect/replace the start device; consider refrigerator compressor start relay EBG60663230 |
| Compressor runs but both sections stay warm | Sealed-system or compressor not pumping | Professional sealed-system diagnosis recommended |
| Loud buzzing, then trips off | Hard-start condition (relay or compressor) | Check relay first; if new relay doesn’t help, compressor is suspect |
| Breaker trips when it tries to start | Electrical short in compressor or wiring | Unplug and have a technician test compressor windings |
The compressor is the heart of the sealed cooling system. Misdiagnosing it can lead to unnecessary high-cost repairs; checking airflow, coils, and the start relay first often solves “not cooling” complaints faster and cheaper.
Your manual explains that this refrigerator can transmit diagnostic data to the Kenmore Connect team when you call for help; it’s used only when a specialist instructs you to activate it. See the 79573063410 owner's manual for the exact button sequence and control-lock steps.

Why is my Kenmore refrigerator leaking underneath?
Water under a Kenmore refrigerator model 79573063410 is usually caused by a defrost drain that is clogged or frozen, a drain pan that is out of position or cracked, or a water supply leak from the ice maker or dispenser line. Start by checking the drain system and the water line connection points.
- Look for ice or standing water on the refrigerator floor near the back wall (often points to a defrost drain issue).
- Pull the unit forward and inspect the drain pan for cracks, overflow, or being knocked out of place.
- Check the water supply shutoff valve and the tubing behind the refrigerator for drips.
- If you have an ice maker, confirm the water line is connected correctly and not kinked.
- If the leak happens only during ice making or dispensing, focus on the inlet valve and filter area.
| What you see | Most likely cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Water appears after defrost cycles | Clogged or frozen defrost drain | Flush the drain with warm water; clear debris with a soft pipe cleaner |
| Water only when using ice/water | Water line, filter head, or inlet valve leak | Inspect fittings; replace the leaking component |
| Water in a wide puddle under center | Drain pan overflow or crack | Re-seat pan; replace if cracked |
| Slow drip from back lower area | Condensation or tubing seep | Dry area, then recheck to pinpoint the drip source |
If you confirm the leak is coming from the water system (not the defrost drain), these parts are common culprits:
- Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601 (leaks at valve body or fittings)
- Refrigerator water filter head ADQ36011715 (leaks at filter head or tubing connection)
- Refrigerator water filter bypass ABN73019101 (useful for testing whether the filter housing area is the leak source)
Even a small leak can lead to floor damage and can freeze into ice under the freezer drawer, which can affect door sealing and cooling performance. Fixing the source early also helps prevent repeat clogs and water line failures.
For Kenmore 79573063410, follow the cleaning, care, and troubleshooting guidance in the 79573063410 owner's manual, especially the sections covering care and cleaning and water line connection precautions.

What does DH mean on Kenmore Elite refrigerator?
On Kenmore model 79573063410 bottom-mount refrigerators, dH (often shown as “Er dH”) indicates a defrost heating problem. The refrigerator is not sensing normal heat during the defrost cycle, so frost can build up on the evaporator and reduce cooling.
- Unplug the refrigerator or turn off the circuit breaker before removing panels.
- Make sure the doors fully close and the gaskets seal; warm air leaks can increase frost.
- Check for heavy frost on the rear freezer panel; that points to a defrost system issue.
- Power-cycle the unit (unplug for 5 minutes, then restore power) to see if the code returns.
- Review the troubleshooting section in the 79573063410 owner's manual for model-specific guidance.
In most Kenmore 795-series bottom freezer designs, the code is triggered when the control does not detect expected temperature rise during defrost.
| What can fail | What you may notice | Typical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Defrost heater circuit | Frost buildup, warmer fridge temps | Test heater circuit and wiring |
| Defrost sensor/thermistor | Code returns after reset | Check sensor resistance and placement |
| Main control not switching defrost | Intermittent cooling issues | Verify output to heater during defrost |
| Door sealing/air leak | Frequent frosting, moisture | Inspect/adjust doors and gaskets |
We match parts by symptom after testing, not by code alone. If diagnostics point to water or ice issues at the same time, these parts are also worth checking:
- Lg refrigerator ice maker AEQ73110210 (if ice production is also affected)
- Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601 (if fill problems or slow water flow occur)
A defrost heating error can lead to restricted airflow across the evaporator, which makes the refrigerator run longer, warm up in the fresh food section, and eventually stop cooling properly.
