Kenmore Elite 79572063111 refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572063111, the correct water filter is the Refrigerator water filter 9690; on our parts list it’s part ID AGF80300801 (manufacturer part number ADQ36006102). This is the filter that fits your model and restores proper water and ice filtration.

How to confirm you’re buying the right filter

Use these quick checks before ordering:

• Match your refrigerator model number exactly: 79572063111
• Match the filter ID on the listing: AGF80300801
• Replace on schedule (most refrigerator filters are changed about every 6 months)
• Flush the new filter after install (dispense several gallons of water until it runs clear)
• Reset the filter indicator light (if your model has one)

For model-specific filter location and reset steps, use the 79572063111 owner's manual.

The filter that fits 79572063111

What you may see	What it means	What to order
“9690” on the filter/packaging	Retail filter identifier	Refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
ADQ36006102	Manufacturer part number	Refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801

Why it matters

Using the correct filter helps protect the water inlet valve, ice maker, and dispenser tubing from sediment buildup, and it keeps water taste and odor under control. A mismatched filter can leak, restrict flow, or fail to seat correctly.

Helpful install tips (to prevent leaks and low flow)

• Turn the filter clockwise until it fully seats (do not force it)
• Check the filter head and O-ring area for debris before installing
• If water flow is weak, confirm household supply is fully open and the filter is seated
• If the dispenser sputters, keep dispensing water until air is purged

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572063111 is a bottom-mount style refrigerator; most units in this class are about 33 inches wide, 30 to 34 inches deep, and 67 to 70 inches tall. For the exact cabinet dimensions and clearance requirements, use the 79572063111 owner's manual.

Typical dimensions and what to measure

When you are checking fit for a kitchen opening, we recommend measuring the refrigerator and the space in three ways:

• Width: cabinet width (not including door handles unless they stick out past the cabinet)
• Depth: cabinet depth and depth with doors closed (depth can change a lot with handles)
• Height: cabinet height and height with hinges
• Door swing clearance: space needed to fully open doors and pull out drawers
• Ventilation clearance: space behind, above, and at the sides for airflow

Quick fit checklist (before you buy or move it)

Use this checklist to avoid common “it won’t fit” surprises:

• Measure the narrowest point on the path in (doorways, hallways, turns)
• Confirm the floor is level where the refrigerator will sit
• Plan for water line routing if you use the ice maker or water dispenser
• Allow extra depth if you need the doors to open past 90 degrees
• Verify the opening allows the freezer drawer to pull out fully

Common size ranges for this style

These are typical ranges for Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators similar to model 79572063111.

Measurement	Typical range
Width	32 to 34 inches
Depth (cabinet)	29 to 32 inches
Height	67 to 70 inches

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents door interference, poor ventilation (which can affect cooling and compressor run time), and installation issues with the water line. It also helps you plan for replacing parts like a door gasket or door bin without clearance problems.

On Kenmore Elite model 79572063111, dH (often shown as Er dH) points to a defrost heating problem: the refrigerator is not sensing the expected temperature rise during the defrost cycle. This can lead to frost buildup, warm temperatures, and poor airflow.

What to check first (fast, no-parts steps)

• Power reset: unplug for 5 minutes, then restore power and watch for the code returning.
• Door sealing and loading: make sure doors close fully and vents are not blocked by food.
• Frost pattern: heavy frost on the freezer back panel usually supports a defrost issue.
• Condenser cleanliness: clean dust from the condenser area to reduce run time and icing risk.
• Temperature settings: set freezer near 0°F and fresh food near 37°F, then allow 24 hours to stabilize.

Likely causes (most common to least common)

What failed	What you may notice	Typical fix
Defrost sensor or temperature sensor	Frost buildup, code returns after reset	Test sensor resistance; replace if out of range
Defrost heater circuit issue (wiring/connection)	Intermittent defrost, random warm-ups	Inspect connectors and harness; repair wiring
Control board not driving defrost	Repeated dH/Er dH, defrost never seems to run	Diagnose output to heater circuit

For this model, a common service part related to defrost sensing is the refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005R.

Why it matters

When defrost heat is not working correctly, ice can block airflow across the evaporator. That forces longer compressor run times, causes temperature swings, and can stop the ice maker from producing normally.

Where to find model-specific diagnostics

Use the 79572063111 owner's manual for the control panel behavior, error display details, and any built-in test modes that apply to your exact configuration. For code interpretation help, we also use the Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes reference.

On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572063111, an ice maker usually stops making ice because the freezer is too warm, the ice maker is switched off, water supply is restricted (often by a clogged filter), or the ice maker cannot sense the bin or door correctly. Use the 79572063111 owner's manual to confirm the exact control settings and test steps for your unit.

Quick checks that fix most “no ice” complaints

• Confirm the ice maker is ON (some models have an on/off switch or arm).
• Set freezer temperature to about 0°F (ice production drops fast above ~10°F).
• Make sure the ice bin is seated correctly and not jammed with clumped ice.
• Verify the household shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
• Replace a restricted water filter such as genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 if water flow is slow.

Step-by-step troubleshooting (in the right order)

1. Check freezer cooling first: If food is soft or ice cream is mushy, solve the cooling issue before chasing the ice maker.
2. Check water flow at the dispenser (if equipped): Weak flow points to a filter restriction or supply issue.
3. Inspect the fill area: Look for ice blocking the fill tube or signs of a slow drip that freezes up.
4. Door and bin sensing: If the door is not registering as closed, the ice maker may pause; a failed switch can be the cause.

Common causes and what they point to

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do next
No ice and freezer is warm	Cooling problem	Check condenser cleanliness, airflow, and temps
No ice but dispenser water is weak	Restricted filter or supply	Replace filter, confirm valve is open
Ice maker cycles but no water fills	Water delivery issue	Check line for kinks, look for frozen fill tube
Lights act odd when door closes	Door switch issue	Inspect/replace refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A

Why it matters

The ice maker depends on two basics: proper freezer temperature and steady water flow. Fixing those first prevents unnecessary part replacement and restores normal ice production faster.
