Kenmore 79568272900 refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79568272900, the exact exterior dimensions vary by the specific 795.6827*k version (color code) and door style, but most units in this series are about 33 inches wide, 31 to 34 inches deep, and 67 to 70 inches tall. For the exact measurements for your unit, use the 79568272900 owner's manual.

How to get the exact dimensions for your refrigerator

We recommend confirming size from the model’s documentation and then measuring your installed unit (handles and door swing can change what fits).

• Check the “Refrigerator Installation” section in the 79568272900 owner's manual
• Measure width at the widest point (often the doors)
• Measure depth two ways: cabinet-only and with handles
• Measure height from floor to top hinge cover
• Allow clearance for door opening and airflow behind the unit

Typical size ranges (what most owners see)

These are common ranges for Kenmore 795-series bottom-freezer refrigerators and help with planning when you do not have the spec page in front of you.

Measurement	Typical range	What can change it
Width	~33 in.	door design, trim
Depth	~31 to 34 in.	handles, door thickness
Height	~67 to 70 in.	leveling legs, hinge cover

Why it matters (fit, airflow, and door clearance)

Correct sizing prevents installation headaches like doors hitting cabinets, poor air circulation, and difficulty removing the freezer drawer. The manual also notes that if an entrance is less than 35 inches wide, the doors and freezer drawer may need to be removed for moving the refrigerator into place.

A bottom-freezer refrigerator typically lasts about 13 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. For your Kenmore 79568272900, keeping airflow clear, cleaning condenser coils, and maintaining good door sealing are the biggest factors that help it reach that expected lifespan.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most bottom-mount (bottom-freezer) refrigerators land in a similar range, but real-world life depends on usage and care.

• Typical lifespan: ~13 years
• Heavy use or poor ventilation: can shorten life
• Good maintenance and stable temperatures: can extend life
• Door seal condition: affects compressor run time and wear
• Dusty environments or pets: increase coil cleaning needs

Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)

These steps help reduce compressor strain and temperature swings.

• Keep vents clear inside the refrigerator and freezer so air can circulate properly (blocked vents cause temperature and moisture problems).
• Clean condenser coils regularly (dust buildup makes the system work harder).
• Make sure doors close fully and stay aligned; adjust if gaps appear.
• Keep gaskets clean and pliable; wipe the door liner and gaskets during routine cleaning.
• Avoid overpacking; it restricts airflow and can create warm spots.

What “end of life” usually looks like

If you are deciding whether to repair or replace, these symptoms often show up late in a refrigerator’s life.

Symptom	Common cause	Typical next step
Warm fridge or freezer	Sealed system issue, airflow issue	Diagnose airflow first; then consider sealed system service
Loud clicking, won’t start	Start relay or compressor problem	Test/replace start relay; evaluate compressor
Frost buildup, poor cooling	Defrost system problem	Check defrost heater/sensor and airflow
Water pooling	Drain restriction	Clear/repair drain tube

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is running longer than necessary (from dirty coils, poor airflow, or a leaking door seal) puts extra load on the compressor and can shorten overall lifespan. The care and cleaning guidance in the 79568272900 owner's manual supports these maintenance habits.

Water under a Kenmore refrigerator model 79568272900 is most often caused by defrost water not draining correctly (a clogged or frozen drain) or by water collecting and spilling from the drain pan during the defrost cycle. Use the steps below to pinpoint the source and stop the leak.

Quick checks that solve most “leaking underneath” complaints

• Look for a sheet of ice or standing water on the freezer floor; that points to a blocked defrost drain.
• Check the drain pan underneath for cracks, misalignment, or overflow.
• If you have an ice maker or water dispenser, inspect the 1/4-inch water line connections for slow drips.
• Make sure the refrigerator is level so water flows to the drain correctly.
• Confirm the doors close fully; warm air can increase frost and overwhelm the drain.

Step-by-step: clear a clogged or frozen defrost drain

1. Unplug the refrigerator.
2. Remove freezer contents as needed to access the rear bottom area where meltwater drains.
3. Melt any visible ice with warm water (not boiling) and clear debris from the drain opening.
4. Flush the drain with warm water until it flows freely to the drain pan.
5. If the drain tube is damaged or won’t stay clear, replace it with the correct part for this model: refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D.

If the leak is from the water supply line (ice maker/dispenser models)

The manual notes that water line installation and loose connections can lead to leakage. Use this checklist:

What to check	What you’re looking for	What to do
Compression nut and ferrule	Moisture at the fitting	Tighten carefully; do not overtighten
Tubing condition	Kinks, cracks, rubbing/vibration	Replace tubing; secure it so it doesn’t vibrate
Shutoff valve area	Drips at the valve	Tighten/repair the valve connection

For model-specific guidance on water line connections and leak prevention, follow the 79568272900 owner's manual.

Why it matters

Leaks underneath can damage flooring and also signal airflow or defrost-drain problems that lead to ice buildup, warm temperatures, and poor cooling performance.

Yes. On the Kenmore 79568272900 bottom-mount refrigerator, many “bolt-on” items (drawers, some door hardware, light-related parts, and gaskets) are realistic DIY repairs if you unplug the refrigerator first and follow the safety steps in the 79568272900 owner's manual. For sealed-system work (compressor, refrigerant lines), use a qualified technician.

Good DIY replacements vs. pro-only repairs

Here’s a practical way to decide what you can handle.

• DIY-friendly: door switch, door hinge bushing, door gaskets, drawers and covers, light shield access and bulb replacement
• Usually pro-only: compressor replacement, evaporator replacement, sealed-system leaks, refrigerant charging
• DIY with extra care: defrost heater, defrost sensor, evaporator fan motor (requires panel removal and careful reassembly)

Repair type	Typical difficulty	Why it matters
Door and drawer parts	Low	Restores fit, sealing, and usability quickly
Airflow/defrost parts	Medium	Prevents warm temps, frost buildup, and fan noise
Sealed system (compressor/evaporator)	High	Requires specialized tools and training

Safety steps we recommend before any repair

The manual emphasizes electrical-shock and injury prevention. Use these basics every time.

• Unplug the refrigerator (do not pull the cord; pull the plug)
• Turn off power at the breaker if the outlet is not accessible
• Remove food and door bins before door or hinge work
• Keep fingers clear of door “pinch point” areas
• Do not let children climb or hang on doors or shelves
• Use the right tools (Phillips screwdriver, flat screwdriver, socket wrench) for hinge and door work

Parts that commonly solve “simple” problems

If your issue matches one of these symptoms, a targeted part swap is often the fastest fix.

• Interior light stays off or acts erratic: check the lg refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A
• Door sagging or rubbing: inspect the refrigerator door hinge bushing 4984JJ3003A
• Warm air leaks, frost, or sweating around the door: consider the refrigerator gasket assembly ADX73350925

Why it matters

DIY repairs can save time and money, but the refrigerator still has live electrical circuits and heavy doors. Following the manual’s unplug-first guidance helps prevent shock, broken parts, and alignment problems after reassembly.
