How do I know which Kenmore refrigerator filter to buy?
For Kenmore model 59679533019, match the water filter to your exact model number and the filter style it uses. This model’s compatible replacement is the Kenmore refrigerator water filter (9084) EDR4RXD1, so buying that filter ensures proper fit, water flow, and filtration performance.
Quick ways to confirm you have the right filter
- Check the model number on the rating label inside the fresh food compartment: it must read 59679533019.
- Match the filter ID to the model’s parts list: EDR4RXD1.
- Compare the old filter’s printed ID (if readable) to EDR4RXD1.
- If the filter will not seat or lock in, stop and re-check the filter ID before forcing it.
- If you recently replaced the filter head, confirm the head matches the filter style used by this model.
What to buy for model 59679533019

How to tell what model Kenmore refrigerator?
To tell what model Kenmore refrigerator you have, we look for the model/serial tag on the cabinet (not on a removable drawer). On Kenmore refrigerators like model 59679533019, it’s usually inside the fresh food section on a side wall or ceiling, or behind the toe grille (kick plate) at the bottom front.
Where to look first (fastest checks)
- Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left or right side wall
- On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment
- Behind or beside the crisper drawers (check the cabinet wall after pulling drawers out)
- Behind the toe grille (kick plate) at the bottom front
- On the back exterior panel near the lower area
What the model number looks like
Kenmore model numbers are typically a long number string (often 10 to 12 digits). For example, 59679533019 is a Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model number.
| What you find | What it’s used for | Why you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the exact design | Ensures parts diagrams match your refrigerator |
| Serial number | Identifies the production unit | Helps confirm version changes and compatibility |
| “596” prefix (common) | Indicates the manufacturing source family | Helps narrow down correct parts and procedures |
Tips if the sticker is hard to read
- Take a clear photo with your phone and zoom in
- Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth (do not soak it)
- Copy the full number exactly, including any leading zeros
- If a drawer blocks the label, remove the drawer and look at the cabinet wall behind it
Why it matters
Using the correct model number prevents ordering the wrong parts (filters, gaskets, control boards) and helps you match the right diagrams for your exact Kenmore refrigerator.
If you’re identifying the model so you can replace a common maintenance item, the parts list for this model includes the Kenmore refrigerator water filter (9084) EDR4RXD1.

How to tell if a Kenmore refrigerator compressor is bad?
If your Kenmore 59679533019 bottom-mount refrigerator isn’t cooling and you hear repeated clicking, the compressor may be failing, but many “bad compressor” symptoms are actually caused by airflow, defrost, or control issues. We confirm compressor trouble by checking temperatures, fan operation, and the start/run behavior.
Quick signs that point toward a compressor problem
- Fridge and freezer are both warm, even though the unit runs often
- You hear a click every few minutes (start device tries, then trips off)
- The compressor is very hot to the touch after running attempts
- You don’t hear the normal steady compressor hum, only brief tries
- Frost pattern looks abnormal (little to no frost on the evaporator when running)
Rule out common look-alikes first (most important)
Before blaming the compressor, check these high-frequency causes of poor cooling:
- Evaporator fan: If it’s not moving air, the refrigerator warms up even with a good sealed system. Consider the refrigerator evaporator fan motor WPW10128551 if the fan is noisy, stalled, or intermittent.
- Temperature sensing: A bad sensor can misread temps and cause odd run times. The refrigerator thermistor W10316760 is a common fix for inaccurate temperature control.
- Control issues: A failing board can prevent proper compressor operation. If diagnostics point there, the refrigerator electronic control board WPW10317076 is one of the control options listed for this model.
- Condenser airflow and cleanliness: Dirty coils or blocked airflow can mimic sealed-system trouble.
What you can safely check at home
- Set controls to normal (not warmest) and give it 24 hours.
- Listen at the back: steady hum (running) vs. click and silence (failed start).
- Check freezer back wall: heavy frost suggests a defrost/airflow issue, not a compressor.
- Verify the evaporator fan runs when the door switch is held closed.
Symptom-to-likely-cause guide
| What you notice | More likely cause | Compressor likely? |
|---|---|---|
| Clicking every few minutes, no cooling | Start/run problem or compressor locked | Medium to high |
| Freezer cold, fridge warm | Damper/airflow issue | Low |
| Heavy frost on freezer back wall | Defrost failure | Low |
| Warm everywhere, fans run, long run time | Sealed system or compressor | Medium |
Why it matters
Compressors are part of the sealed system and are more complex to diagnose than items like a thermistor, fan motor, or control board. Ruling out airflow and control problems first prevents unnecessary, expensive repairs.

Why is the bottom of my Kenmore refrigerator leaking water?
Water at the bottom of your Kenmore 59679533019 bottom-mount refrigerator is usually caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain, a drain pan that is out of position or cracked, or a door gasket that is leaking warm air and creating excess condensation. Fixing the drain path solves most leaks.
Most common causes (and what to check first)
- Defrost drain clogged: Water from defrost cannot flow to the drain pan, so it spills into the fresh food section and runs down.
- Defrost drain frozen: Ice blocks the drain hole and causes overflow during defrost.
- Drain pan problem: The pan can be shifted, overflowing, or cracked.
- Door gasket not sealing: Warm, humid air enters, creating heavy condensation and water pooling.
- Water system leak (if you have an ice maker or dispenser): A loose connection or valve seep can drip and track to the bottom.
Quick troubleshooting steps we recommend
- Unplug the refrigerator and remove items from the bottom shelves/crispers.
- Look for ice or debris at the drain trough under the evaporator cover (rear interior panel). Melt ice with warm water.
- Flush the drain with hot water using a turkey baster until it flows freely to the pan underneath.
- Inspect the door seal for gaps, tears, or areas that do not grip paper when the door is closed.
- Check for water supply leaks behind the unit; look for slow drips at the valve and tubing.
Parts that commonly fix bottom leaks
If you find a specific failure, these parts on this model’s parts list are common solutions:
| Symptom you see | Likely issue | Part to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Puddle inside fridge bottom after defrost | Drain backing up (often from icing) | (Clear the drain first; parts usually not needed) |
| Water dripping from back/bottom near supply line | Valve seep or internal leak | Refrigerator water inlet valve assembly WPW10420083 |
| Heavy condensation, water near door edge | Poor seal letting humid air in | Refrigerator door gasket W10443320 or refrigerator door gasket W10830162 |
Why it matters
A recurring leak can lead to ice buildup, temperature swings, and water damage under the refrigerator. Clearing the defrost drain and restoring a tight door seal prevents repeat puddles and helps the evaporator fan and cooling system run normally.
