Kenmore Elite 79573163610 refrigerator Parts

The most common problems we see on the Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79573163610 involve cooling performance, ice maker and dispenser issues, and water filtration or leaking concerns. Many of these symptoms trace back to airflow, sensors, or ice maker components; use the 79573163610 owner's manual for model-specific checks and settings.

Common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Fridge or freezer not cold enough: dirty condenser coil, evaporator fan problem, temperature sensor issue
• Frost buildup or warm freezer: airflow restriction, fan not running, door not sealing
• Ice maker not making ice: ice maker assembly fault, fan motor issue, water supply restriction
• Ice dispenser not dispensing: chute door motor problem, ice container/auger issue
• Bad taste or slow water flow: clogged water filter, filter head issue
• Water leaking: cracked water line, filter not seated, door gasket not sealing

Parts that commonly solve these problems (when symptoms match)

If your troubleshooting points to a failed component, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:

Symptom	Likely system	Example part for this model
Warm temps, poor cooling	Heat removal/airflow	Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004
Ice maker dead or intermittent	Ice maker assembly	Lg refrigerator ice maker AEQ73130004
Ice clumping or dispenser issues	Ice storage/auger	Lg refrigerator ice container assembly AKC73369912
Slow water, bad taste	Filtration	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Leaks at filter area	Filter mounting	Refrigerator water filter head ADQ36011715
Door not sealing, moisture/frost	Door seal	Refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

• Confirm temperature settings; allow 24 hours after changes for stabilization.
• Clean the condenser area; restricted airflow is a top cause of warm temperatures.
• Make sure doors close fully and gaskets seal all the way around.
• If water flow is slow, replace the filter and verify the filter is fully seated.
• For ice maker issues, confirm the ice maker is turned on and the fill tube is not frozen.

Why it matters

Cooling, ice production, and water dispensing all depend on steady airflow, accurate temperature sensing, and a sealed water path. Catching a weak fan, dirty condenser, or leaking gasket early helps prevent food spoilage and reduces strain on the compressor.

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators, including model 79573163610, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal household use. Regular maintenance (especially keeping airflow and seals in good shape) is what most often separates a 10-year fridge from a 15-year fridge; see the 79573163610 owner's manual for model-specific care guidance.

Typical lifespan and what changes it

A refrigerator’s life is usually limited by sealed-system wear (compressor and refrigerant components), airflow problems, or door-seal issues that force the unit to run longer.

• 10 to 15 years is the normal expectation for a modern full-size refrigerator
• Heavy use (large family, frequent door openings) shortens lifespan
• Poor airflow (dirty condenser area, blocked vents) increases run time and wear
• Weak door sealing raises humidity and frost, stressing fans and cooling performance
• Water and ice system neglect (old filter, low water flow) can cause nuisance issues that feel like “failure”

Maintenance that helps you reach the high end of the range

These are the highest-impact habits for long-term reliability:

• Keep the condenser area clean and unobstructed
• Confirm doors close fully and gaskets seal all the way around
• Replace the water filter on schedule; use the correct filter such as genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
• Replace the air filter when odors linger; this model uses an air filter like lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
• Keep freezer and fresh-food vents clear of packages

Common “end-of-life” repairs (what they usually mean)

Symptom	Often points to	Typical next step
Warm fridge and freezer, clicking or humming	Compressor or start components	Test start relay, then sealed-system diagnosis
Runs constantly, temps drift	Airflow restriction or door sealing	Clean condenser area, check gasket alignment
Ice maker stops, water slows	Filter restriction or supply issue	Replace filter, verify water pressure

Why it matters

Knowing the 10 to 15 year average helps you decide whether to invest in a major repair (like a compressor-related issue) versus focusing on maintenance items (filters, gaskets) that restore performance at a much lower cost.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79573163610 is a full-size French door refrigerator; plan for a cabinet opening that fits a typical 33 to 36 inch wide class unit with about 22 to 25 cu. ft. of total capacity. Confirm the exact exterior dimensions and clearances in the 79573163610 owner's manual.

What “size” should include (so it fits and functions)

When customers ask “size,” we recommend checking these specs:

• Overall width (doors closed)
• Overall height (to top hinge cover)
• Overall depth (with handles and without handles)
• Depth with doors open (for islands and tight walkways)
• Ventilation clearance (top, sides, rear)

Typical planning ranges for this style of Kenmore Elite French door refrigerator

Use these as planning targets, then match to the exact spec in the manual.

Spec to plan for	Typical range for full-size French door units
Width	33 to 36 inches
Height	67 to 70 inches
Depth (with handles)	33 to 36 inches
Total capacity	22 to 25 cu. ft.

Why it matters

If the refrigerator is even slightly oversized for the opening, you can lose airflow around the cabinet, limit door swing, or prevent drawers from fully extending. Confirming the exact depth also helps you decide whether it will sit flush with counters.

Related parts that affect usable space and performance

If you are measuring because of performance or storage issues, these parts are commonly involved:

• Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 (water flow and taste)
• Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408 (odor control and airflow through the filter housing)
• Door sealing components like the right-side gasket (prevents warm air intrusion that reduces capacity)
