Kenmore Elite 79574023411 refrigerator Parts

On the Kenmore Elite 79574023411, a failing compressor typically shows up as poor or no cooling, very long run times, repeated clicking as it tries to start, or the breaker tripping when cooling is demanded. We use the 79574023411 use & care guide to rule out settings and airflow issues first.

Quick signs the compressor may be failing

• Refrigerator and freezer stay warm after 24 hours of operation
• Compressor area is very hot and the unit runs almost constantly
• Repeated clicking every few minutes (start attempt then shutoff)
• Breaker trips when the compressor tries to start
• Little to no steady hum or vibration from the compressor when cooling is needed

Rule out common look-alikes first

Many “bad compressor” symptoms on the 79574023411 are caused by airflow, controls, or start components.

• Confirm it is not in Demo Mode (cooling disabled)
• Make sure doors close fully and gaskets seal
• Clean condenser cover and vents (dust can cause overheating and poor cooling)
• Listen for the condenser fan near the compressor; if it is not running, cooling suffers
• Verify temperature settings and allow 24 hours after changes

Parts commonly checked before condemning the compressor

What you notice	What we check first	Model-compatible part example
Clicks, then stops; no steady run	Start device/overload circuit	Refrigerator compressor start relay EBG60663230
Runs hot; poor heat removal	Condenser fan airflow	Refrigerator condenser fan EAU62025701
Runs but won’t cool well	Sealed system/compressor	Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801

Why it matters

A compressor is part of the sealed system, so replacement is a major repair. On the Kenmore Elite 79574023411, confirming basics like condenser airflow and the start relay can prevent unnecessary sealed-system work.

If your Kenmore Elite 79574023411 is warm at the bottom of the fresh-food section, the most common cause is restricted airflow: blocked vents, an overpacked compartment, or a problem moving cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator. Start with airflow checks and temperature settings before moving to parts testing.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Make sure packages are not blocking the air vents in the refrigerator section (especially near the back wall).
• Confirm the doors close fully and the gaskets seal all the way around.
• Verify the controls are set correctly; after changing settings, allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
• If the unit was just installed or recently powered back on, allow up to 24 hours to reach normal temps.
• Reduce long or frequent door openings; warm air sinks and can make the lower area feel warm.

For control ranges and airflow guidance specific to this model, use the 79574023411 use & care manual.

When it points to a part (airflow or cooling system)

If vents are clear and settings are correct but the bottom stays warm, these model-compatible parts are common suspects:

• A weak or failed fresh-food fan/diffuser assembly that is not pushing cold air into the refrigerator section.
• A dirty condenser area that cannot shed heat efficiently.
• A freezer evaporator fan issue that reduces overall airflow and cooling.

Helpful model-matched parts to consider:

• Refrigerator fresh food fan motor assembly ADJ73252235
• Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004
• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor EAU61524007

Symptoms and what they usually mean

What you notice	Likely cause	What to do next
Top shelves cool, bottom warm	Airflow blocked or diffuser not moving air	Clear vents; then check diffuser/fan
Freezer cold, fridge warm	Air not transferring from freezer to fridge	Check vents, fan operation, frost buildup
Fridge runs a lot, still warm	Heat not being removed well	Clean condenser area; check condenser fan

Why it matters

On bottom-mount designs like the Kenmore Elite 79574023411, cold air is produced in the freezer and circulated into the refrigerator section. If airflow is restricted, the lower bins and drawers often warm up first, and food safety can become a concern.

For Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79574023411, the model and serial number are printed on an identification label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment; it is located on the interior liner. Use the same label any time you order parts or look up service information in the owner's manual.

Where to look on the refrigerator

Check these common label locations for this Kenmore bottom-mount design:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (interior liner)
• Near the top front opening of the refrigerator compartment
• Behind or beside a crisper or pantry drawer area (still on the interior liner)
• Not on the exterior door skin (it is typically inside)

What to write down (and why)

Record both numbers exactly as shown on the label:

• Model number: identifies the exact version for correct-fit parts
• Serial number: helps match production details when troubleshooting
• Date of purchase (if available): useful for maintenance tracking

Item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Ordering correct parts, diagrams, manual lookup	795.7402xxxx style family, plus full model on label
Serial number	Identifying production run details	Letters and numbers

Why it matters

Kenmore Elite refrigerators often have multiple similar-looking versions. Using the exact model number from the ID label prevents ordering the wrong water filter, door gasket, ice maker, or control board.
