Kenmore Elite 79572052313 refrigerator Parts

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator like model 79572052313 typically lasts 10 to 15 years. Consistent care (clean airflow, good door sealing, and timely filter changes) helps it reach the high end of that range; major sealed-system failures usually determine end-of-life.

Typical lifespan ranges (what to expect)

• Average: 10 to 15 years
• Often achievable with good maintenance: 12 to 16 years
• Less common but possible: up to about 20 years

What affects lifespan most	What you can do	Parts commonly involved
Heat removal and airflow	Keep condenser area clean and unobstructed	Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004
Door sealing and run time	Keep doors aligned and gaskets sealing	Door bins and doors (fit and closure)
Water and ice system health	Replace filters on schedule; prevent clogs	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Odors and food preservation	Replace air filter as needed	Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408

Maintenance that extends life

We recommend these habits for Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators:

• Replace the water filter on schedule to protect the dispenser and ice maker.
• Replace the air filter when odors linger or airflow through the filter is restricted.
• Keep the condenser area clean so the compressor does not run hotter than necessary.
• Confirm doors close fully every time; avoid overloading door bins.
• After power interruptions, let temperatures stabilize before making repeated control changes (see the owner's manual).

Why it matters

A refrigerator can keep running for years while slowly losing efficiency. When airflow is restricted or filtration is neglected, the compressor and sealed system work harder, which shortens overall lifespan and can lead to more frequent temperature swings.

On a Kenmore Elite refrigerator like model 79572052313, the model number is printed on a rating label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment or inside the freezer compartment. We use that exact model number to match the correct parts list and the right Use and Care information in the 79572052313 owner's manual.

Most common places to check

Look for a white or silver sticker or plate in these spots:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (often near the crisper area)
• On the wall behind or beside the lower crisper drawers (you may need to slide drawers out)
• Inside the freezer compartment on an interior side wall
• Along the door frame area (open the door and check the cabinet frame)
• Behind the lower front grille or kickplate area (if your model has a removable grille)

What the label looks like and what to write down

The label typically includes the model number and serial number. For accurate parts matching, record:

• Model number (for example: 79572052313)
• Serial number (helps identify production run details)
• Any suffixes or color codes shown with the model series (some manuals list models like 795.7205* where * indicates a color number)

Quick ID checklist (so you get the right parts)

Use this checklist before ordering parts such as a water filter, air filter, or door bin:

• Match the model number character-for-character
• Use the full model number, not just the 795 prefix
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in to confirm digits
• Use the model number to select parts from the list for this refrigerator, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect

Why it matters

Kenmore Elite 795-series bottom-mount refrigerators can look similar across multiple versions, but parts like the water filter, air filter, ice maker assembly, and control board can vary by model and production run. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong replacement part.

Your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572052313 is part of the 795.7205* bottom-freezer series; the most accurate way to get the exact cubic-foot capacity for your specific color/variant is to match your full model from the rating label to the specifications listed in the owner's manual.

Fast ways to find the exact capacity

Use these options in order; they are the quickest and most reliable for model 79572052313:

• Check the rating label inside the fresh food section (usually on a side wall near the crisper area); it lists the full model and key specs.
• Use the model series in the manual: the Use & Care Guide covers models 795.7205* (your series) and lists specifications by model/variant.
• Confirm the full model suffix (the characters after the base model that indicate color/feature package); capacity can vary slightly by variant.
• If you are comparing similar units, measure usable space by shelf layout and bin configuration, not just the advertised cubic feet.

What “cubic feet” means (and why it can look different)

Cubic feet is the refrigerator’s total internal volume. Real-world usable space can feel smaller because shelves, the ice compartment, and air channels take up room.

Typical capacity range for this style

Most Kenmore bottom-freezer refrigerators in the 795 series are commonly in this range:

Refrigerator type	Typical capacity range
Bottom-freezer (full-size)	About 20 to 25 cu. ft.

Why it matters

Knowing the correct cubic-foot capacity helps when you are matching replacement parts and accessories (like a water filter or air filter) and when you are comparing storage needs across similar Kenmore models.

Parts that commonly relate to model identification and features

If you are confirming features while you look up specs, these parts are often tied to the configuration of the refrigerator:

• Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408 (fresh air filtration feature)
• Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 (water filtration feature)

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite 79572052313 bottom-mount refrigerator include warm temperatures (cooling loss), ice maker or dispenser trouble, water leaks, and odors. In most cases, the root cause is airflow restriction, a defrost issue, a water supply problem, or a failing component such as a sensor, switch, or compressor; our 79572052313 owner's manual troubleshooting section helps narrow it down fast.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser area, blocked vents, defrost system problem, or sealed system/compressor issue
• Ice maker not making ice: restricted water supply, frozen fill path, ice maker failure, or dispenser/auger issue
• Water leaking: clogged defrost drain, loose water line connection, cracked tubing, or filter housing issues
• Bad tastes or odors: overdue water filter, overdue air filter, spills, or food stored uncovered
• Lights not working or door alarm issues: door switch problem

Quick checks we recommend first (before replacing parts)

1. Confirm settings: refrigerator about 37°F and freezer about 0°F.
2. Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Check door closure and gasket seal (a poor seal causes warm temps and frost).
4. If you have a water dispenser, verify the household shutoff valve is fully open.
5. After a power interruption, allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.

Parts that commonly solve these problems on model 79572052313

Leaks at the back or under unit	Water line/tubing	Refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602
Frost buildup, warm freezer	Defrost sensor	Refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005R
No interior light or door alarm acts up	Door switch	Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A
Ice dispensing issues	Auger motor	Refrigerator auger motor EAU59551204
Poor water taste/slow flow	Water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801

Why it matters

Cooling, ice, and leak complaints often share the same underlying issue: restricted airflow or water flow. Catching that early prevents food spoilage, reduces frost buildup, and helps avoid water damage.

For Kenmore Elite model 79572052313, bottom leaks almost always come from a clogged defrost drain (water overflows into the base), a cracked or loose water line to the dispenser/ice maker, or a door seal issue causing excess frost that later melts. Use the 79572052313 owner's manual to locate access panels and follow safe service steps.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Unplug the refrigerator and pull it out so you can inspect the rear and the floor.
• Confirm the liquid is water (not oily); wipe it up and see where it returns.
• Check the water filter area and tubing connections for drips.
• Look for ice buildup on the freezer floor or back wall (points to a defrost drain problem).
• Inspect door gaskets for gaps, tears, or debris that prevents sealing.

Most common causes (and what to look for)

Likely cause	What you typically see	What to do next
Clogged/iced defrost drain	Water under crisper drawers or pooling at the bottom after defrost cycles	Clear the drain path; flush with hot water and remove ice in the drain trough
Leaking dispenser/ice maker water line	Drips only when dispensing water or after ice maker fills	Inspect tubing for cracks; replace damaged line such as refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602
Door gasket not sealing	Heavy frost, condensation, then water as it melts	Clean gasket and mating surface; correct door alignment; replace gasket if torn
Ice maker or dispenser area leak	Water in/around dispenser, ice clumps, or wet freezer bin	Check fill tube and connections; inspect ice maker assembly

Step-by-step: isolate where the leak starts

1. Turn off the house water supply to the refrigerator.
2. Dry everything, then wait 30 to 60 minutes.
3. If water returns with the supply off, focus on defrost drain and frost melt.
4. If water returns only with the supply on, focus on tubing, fittings, filter head, and ice maker fill.

Why it matters

A small leak can quickly lead to floor damage, recurring ice buildup, and poor cooling if airflow gets blocked by frost. Fixing the root cause also helps your compressor and evaporator system run more efficiently.

For dispenser-related leaks and prevention tips, we recommend how to prevent water dispenser and ice maker problems. If you need to order model-matched parts, use the parts list for model 79572052313 or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.
