Kenmore model numbers are read left to right: the first 3 digits identify the original manufacturer, the next group identifies the base design, and the remaining digits show the specific feature or production variation. For your Kenmore refrigerator model 79551314014, the 795 prefix is the key identifier.

What each section of a Kenmore model number means

Most Kenmore refrigerator model numbers follow this pattern:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer code (used to match the correct parts system)
• Middle digits: base model or platform (the core design family)
• Ending digits: version details (color, feature package, engineering change, or production run)

To confirm the exact breakdown for 79551314014, we recommend checking the identification section in the 79551314014 owner's manual.

Where to find the model number on the refrigerator

On most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, the model and serial tag is typically located:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• Near the crisper drawer area
• Along the door frame edge (fresh food side)
• Occasionally behind the toe grille (less common)

Quick example using your model

Example model	Prefix	What it tells us	Why it matters
79551314014	795	Manufacturer family code	Ensures diagrams and parts match your exact build

Why it matters when ordering parts

Using the full model number (not just the prefix) helps us match the correct parts list, wiring layout, and component revisions. That is especially important for items like an electronic control board, ice maker assembly, or evaporator fan motor where revisions are common.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 79551314014 are cooling issues, water leaks, ice maker or dispenser failures, and unusual noises. These usually trace back to airflow restrictions (dirty coils, failed fan), defrost system trouble, or water system clogs; use the 79551314014 owner's manual to match symptoms to the right checks.

Common problems and what they usually mean

• Not cooling or warm temps: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan not running, air damper stuck, or defrost frost buildup
• Freezer cold but fridge warm: airflow problem (damper or evaporator fan), blocked vents, heavy frost on evaporator cover
• Water under the fridge or inside compartments: clogged/iced drain system, cracked drain tube, or loose water line fitting
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, ice maker assembly failure, or freezer temp too warm
• Noisy operation: evaporator fan motor, ice maker/auger drive, or vibration from mounting hardware

Quick checks we recommend first (before replacing parts)

1. Confirm temperatures: set freezer near 0°F and fresh food near 37°F.
2. Check airflow: make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Inspect for frost buildup: heavy frost behind the rear freezer panel points to a defrost problem.
4. Look for leak clues: water near the bottom often points to a drain issue.
5. Listen for the noise location: freezer rear (evaporator fan area) vs. dispenser/ice bin area.

Parts that commonly solve these symptoms on 79551314014

Symptom	Common suspect part	Example part for this model
Warm fridge or loud freezer fan noise	Evaporator fan motor	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1029S
Puddles or water under unit	Drain system restriction	Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D
Ice not dispensing or grinding noise	Dispenser/auger drive issue	Refrigerator auger motor EAU59551204
Ice maker not producing	Ice maker failure	Lg refrigerator ice maker assembly 5989JA1002D

Why it matters

Catching airflow, defrost, and drain problems early helps prevent food spoilage, recurring ice buildup, and water damage. It also keeps the compressor from running longer than necessary.

Most Kenmore refrigerators, including model 79551314014, typically last 12 to 15 years with normal household use. Keeping the condenser area clean, maintaining good door seals, and fixing water leaks quickly are the biggest factors that help you reach (or beat) that average.

What affects refrigerator lifespan the most

• Condenser airflow and cleanliness (dust and pet hair make the compressor work harder)
• Door gasket condition (warm air leaks increase run time)
• Stable temperatures (avoid frequent warm-ups from propped doors)
• Ice maker and water system health (leaks and clogs can cause damage over time)
• Defrost system performance (heavy frost can reduce cooling efficiency)

Maintenance checklist we recommend

Use the schedule below as a simple way to protect the compressor, evaporator fan, and control board.

Task	How often	Why it helps
Vacuum/brush condenser area	Every 6 months	Reduces heat load and compressor run time
Check door seal for gaps and tearing	Every 3 months	Prevents warm air infiltration and frost
Clean spills and inspect for water under unit	Monthly	Prevents corrosion and hidden leaks
Replace water filter (if equipped)	About every 6 months	Protects water flow and ice maker performance

For model-specific care steps and cleaning locations, follow the 79551314014 owner's manual.

When a “repair” makes more sense than replacement

If your Kenmore 79551314014 is cooling well and the cabinet is in good shape, replacing a failed component often restores reliable operation.

Common examples on this model include:

• Ice maker not producing ice: consider the lg refrigerator ice maker assembly 5989JA1002D
• Warm refrigerator section with freezer still cold: check airflow and the refrigerator air damper ADJ74092101
• Water pooling or icing issues: inspect the drain path and the refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer than necessary uses more electricity and puts extra wear on high-cost parts like the compressor and electronic control board. Basic upkeep helps the sealed system and cooling fans operate under normal load, which is what extends service life.

Many Kenmore refrigerators made by Whirlpool are identified by the model number prefix; Whirlpool-built Kenmore units commonly start with 106 (refrigerators) and 110 (laundry). For your Kenmore 79551314014, the 795 prefix points to an LG-built platform, not Whirlpool; confirm the exact identification details in the 79551314014 owner's manual.

How to tell who built a Kenmore refrigerator

Use the first three digits of the Kenmore model number (the prefix) as the quickest identifier.

Common prefixes you will see:

• 106: Whirlpool-built Kenmore refrigerators (very common)
• 110: Whirlpool-built Kenmore washers and dryers (not refrigerators)
• 795: LG-built Kenmore refrigerators (applies to model 79551314014)
• If the prefix is different, use the model tag inside the fresh food section to match parts and documentation

Quick prefix guide (refrigerator-focused)

Kenmore prefix	Typical manufacturer	What it means for parts
106	Whirlpool	Many parts cross to Whirlpool platforms; match by model and part number
795	LG	Many parts cross to LG platforms; match by model and part number
110	Whirlpool (laundry)	Not a refrigerator identifier; do not use for fridge parts

Why it matters

The manufacturer platform affects which control boards, ice maker assemblies, dispenser components, and door hardware fit correctly. Using the correct platform also helps when troubleshooting issues like ice dispensing, water flow, or cooling performance.
