Kenmore 79572034111 refrigerator Parts

Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on a rating label inside the cabinet. On Kenmore model 79572034111, you will typically find it on an inside wall of the fresh food section or freezer, or on a label just behind the lower crisper drawers.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall near the front
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall
• On the wall behind or just above the lower crisper drawers
• On the frame just inside the door opening (hinge side)
• Behind the lower toe grille (kick plate) at the front

What the label looks like and what to copy

The rating label usually includes several identifiers. For parts lookup, we use the model number exactly as shown.

Label item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Correct parts list and diagrams	79572034111
Serial number	Production date and version details	Letters and numbers
Electrical ratings	Service reference	Volts/amps

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators can look identical across multiple model numbers, but parts like a water filter, door switch, or ice maker can differ by revision. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong part and helps match the right diagrams.

If the label is hard to read

• Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth and dry it
• Use your phone camera and zoom in (flash off reduces glare)
• Copy the full model number, including any extra digits

For model-specific label locations and identification details, check the 79572034111 owner's manual. If you need to order parts after you find the model number, start with the parts list for 79572034111 or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

Water leaking underneath a Kenmore 79572034111 bottom-mount refrigerator is usually caused by a defrost drain problem (clogged or frozen), a cracked or overflowing drain pan, or a water supply leak from the filter, tubing, or inlet valve. Use the 79572034111 owner's manual to locate access points and confirm the correct checks.

Most common causes (and what to check first)

• Defrost drain clogged or frozen: Water backs up inside and eventually runs down to the floor.
• Drain pan shifted, cracked, or overflowing: Condensation and defrost water should collect and evaporate.
• Water filter not seated or leaking: A loose filter can drip and track to the front or underneath.
• Water line/tubing leak: Small pinholes or loose fittings can drip only during dispenser or ice maker fills.
• Inlet valve seepage: A valve can weep slowly even when not actively dispensing.

Quick troubleshooting steps (10 to 20 minutes)

1. Unplug the refrigerator and pull it out enough to inspect underneath.
2. Look for the leak pattern:
   • Clear water near the front often points to the water system.
   • Water after a defrost cycle often points to the defrost drain.
3. Inspect the water filter area and reseat the filter; if you replace it, use the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.
4. Check the tubing and fittings for drips; replace damaged line with refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602.
5. Check the drain pan for cracks and make sure it is positioned correctly.

What the symptoms usually mean

Symptom	Most likely source	What we do next
Leak happens even with ice maker off	Defrost drain or drain pan	Clear drain path; inspect pan
Leak happens during dispensing	Tubing or inlet valve	Inspect fittings; test valve
Slow puddle near back	Inlet valve seepage or tubing	Check for mineral trails and wet insulation
Water inside fridge then on floor	Defrost drain clogged	Thaw and flush drain

Why it matters

Leaks under the refrigerator can damage flooring and can also lead to ice buildup in the freezer compartment, airflow problems, and inconsistent temperatures. Fixing the root cause early helps protect the compressor and control system.

Your Kenmore refrigerator model 79572034111 has its exact capacity (cubic feet) listed in the product specifications section of the owner's manual. If you need a quick confirmation, the rating plate inside the fresh food compartment typically lists the capacity along with the model and serial number.

Fast ways to find the cubic feet for model 79572034111

• Check the rating plate (usually on an interior side wall of the refrigerator section).
• Look in the specifications pages of the owner's manual.
• If the label is hard to read, take a photo and zoom in; capacity is often printed near electrical ratings.
• If you are comparing sizes for a replacement, measure your cabinet opening too (width, height, depth) so capacity and fit both match.

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

Cubic feet is the total interior storage volume. Usable space can feel smaller because shelves, ice maker components, and air ducts take up room.

Typical capacity ranges (for context)

Refrigerator type	Typical capacity range
Bottom-mount (bottom freezer)	18 to 26 cu. ft.
Top freezer	14 to 22 cu. ft.
Side-by-side	20 to 29 cu. ft.

Why it matters

Capacity helps when you are matching a replacement refrigerator, planning kitchen fit, or deciding whether features like an ice maker reduce usable space. It also helps when ordering storage parts (bins, rails, drawers) so you get the right layout for your exact model.

Related parts that affect usable space

If you are trying to regain storage space or fix fit issues, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator tray AJP73874601 (drawer/tray component)
• Refrigerator door basket AAP73871501 (door bin)
• Refrigerator freezer basket support rail, left 4932JA1010A and refrigerator freezer basket support rail, right 4932JA1010B (freezer basket alignment)

On Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79572034111, a bad compressor shows up as poor or no cooling even though the lights work, often with repeated clicking start attempts or a compressor that runs but never pulls temperatures down. Use the 79572034111 owner's manual to confirm normal temperature settings and operating checks.

Signs that strongly point to a compressor issue

Look for a consistent pattern across both compartments:

• Refrigerator and freezer both warm, unit seems to run constantly
• Clicking every few minutes (start attempt, then stop)
• Compressor is very hot after repeated start attempts (use caution)
• No steady hum or vibration from the compressor when it should be running
• Only a small patch of frost on the evaporator (sealed system or compressor problem)

Rule out common look-alikes first

These problems mimic compressor failure and are faster to check:

• Condenser airflow: Clean dust from the condenser area and confirm the condenser fan runs (if equipped)
• Door sealing: Doors close fully; gaskets seal all the way around
• Evaporator fan: Freezer fan runs when the door switch is closed
• Defrost problem: Heavy frost behind the freezer rear panel points to defrost, not the compressor
• Start device/overload: Clicking with no start often involves the start circuit

Symptom guide

What you notice	Most likely cause	Best next step
Clicks, no start	Start/overload or locked compressor	Check start/overload, then compressor tests
Runs, weak cooling	Sealed system or compressor wear	Check condenser cleanliness and frost pattern
Fans run, still warm	Heat rejection or sealed system	Verify condenser coil is clean and airflow is clear

Parts commonly involved in diagnosis

• Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801
• Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D

Why it matters

A compressor replacement is a major repair; confirming airflow, defrost, and start/overload issues first prevents replacing the wrong part.
