What size is Kenmore refrigerator model 79571319312?
Kenmore refrigerator model 79571319312 is a bottom-mount refrigerator; the exact exterior dimensions and capacity vary by configuration and are listed in the product specifications for this model. For the most accurate “size” (width, height, depth, and cubic feet), use the specs section in the 79571319312 owner's manual.
What “size” usually means (and what to check)
When customers ask for refrigerator size, we typically confirm these measurements:
- Width (side-to-side at the cabinet)
- Height (floor to top hinge cover)
- Depth (cabinet only, and with handles)
- Capacity (total cubic feet)
- Clearances (space needed behind, above, and at the sides for airflow)
How to measure your refrigerator correctly
Use a tape measure and record in inches; measure twice.
- Measure width at the widest point of the cabinet (not the doors swung open)
- Measure height from the floor to the highest point (often the hinge cover)
- Measure depth in two ways: cabinet only, then include handles
- If you are fitting it into a cutout, also measure the opening and note baseboards and trim
Typical size range for Kenmore 795-style bottom-mount refrigerators
Most Kenmore bottom-mount units in this family are close to standard full-size dimensions. Use this as a planning guide, then confirm with the manual specs.
| Measurement | Typical range (planning) | What can change it |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 29 to 33 in. | cabinet design, door style |
| Height | 67 to 70 in. | hinge cover, leveling legs |
| Depth | 33 to 36 in. | handles, door thickness |
Why it matters
Getting the correct size prevents delivery surprises, door-swing interference, and airflow problems that can lead to warm temperatures or excess frost.
If you are also troubleshooting cooling or ice issues after a move or reinstall, check the Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes for model-family guidance.

What is the average lifespan of a Kenmore Elite refrigerator?
Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators, including the Kenmore 79571319312 bottom-mount style, typically last 12 to 15 years with normal household use. Consistent cleaning, good airflow around the cabinet, and prompt repair of cooling or ice maker issues help you reach (and often exceed) that range.
What affects lifespan the most
- Condenser cleanliness: Dust buildup makes the compressor work harder.
- Door seal condition: Air leaks force longer run times and create frost.
- Ventilation and leveling: Tight clearances or an unlevel cabinet can stress components.
- Water system upkeep: Clogged filters and low water flow can strain the inlet valve and ice maker.
- Temperature settings: Keeping the refrigerator near 37°F and freezer near 0°F reduces cycling extremes.
Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)
Use the 79571319312 owner's manual for the exact cleaning points and access panels for your refrigerator.
- Vacuum or brush the condenser area every 6 to 12 months
- Keep food from blocking interior air vents
- Clean door gaskets with mild soap and water; dry fully
- Replace the water filter on schedule (if equipped)
- Confirm doors close on their own and seal evenly
Common “wear” parts vs. major repairs
| Category | Examples | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|
| Routine wear | Door bins, trim, switches | Normal aging; low risk to cooling |
| Mid-level repairs | Fan motors, sensors, inlet valve | Cooling or ice issues; fix early to protect the compressor |
| Major system | Compressor, sealed system | Higher cost; evaluate age vs. repair |
If you are troubleshooting ice production, the lg refrigerator ice maker assembly model AEQ72909603 AEQ72909603 is a common replacement part for this model family.
Why it matters
A refrigerator that runs longer than normal to hold temperature uses more energy and puts extra load on the compressor and evaporator fan. Addressing airflow, seals, and water flow early is the simplest way to protect the most expensive components.

Who makes Kenmore refrigerator model 79571319312?
Kenmore refrigerator model 79571319312 is made for Kenmore by LG (LG is the manufacturing partner behind the 795-prefix Kenmore refrigerators). For model-specific identification details, we recommend checking the product label and the documentation in the 79571319312 owner's manual.
How to confirm the manufacturer on your exact unit
Look for the model and serial label (usually inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall or near the crisper area). On many Kenmore units, the label format and coding help confirm the OEM.
- Verify the full model number is 79571319312 (not a close variant)
- Check for an LG-style serial format or LG manufacturing identifiers
- Match the label information to the parts diagrams and descriptions
- Use the model prefix: 795 commonly indicates LG-built Kenmore refrigeration
- If you are ordering parts, match by model number first, then confirm by part ID
Why the manufacturer matters for parts and troubleshooting
Knowing LG is the OEM helps you choose the right replacement parts and follow the correct diagnostic approach for common refrigerator issues like ice maker failures, water leaks, and cooling problems.
Examples of LG-sourced parts used on this model
| System | Example part on this model | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Ice maker | Lg refrigerator ice maker assembly model AEQ72909603 | Ice production and harvest |
| Water supply | Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU73753101 | Water to dispenser and ice maker |
| Air circulation | Lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C | Cooling airflow in compartments |
Quick tip when ordering parts
- Always match the part ID (not just the description)
- Confirm the part fits 79571319312 before checkout
- If symptoms involve water or ice, start with the inlet valve and ice maker checks
