Kenmore 79571602013 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore refrigerator model 79571602013, leaking underneath is usually caused by water from the defrost system draining into the bottom pan, or a restriction that makes defrost water overflow. We also see leaks from the water supply connection for the icemaker line.

Most common causes (and what to check first)

• Defrost drain issue: ice or debris blocks the drain so water backs up and ends up under the refrigerator.
• Drain pan overflow: during defrost, water is supposed to run into the pan; if it cannot evaporate fast enough, it can spill.
• Water line connection seepage: a loose compression nut/ferrule or tubing that is not fully seated can drip.
• Condenser area airflow problems: poor airflow can reduce evaporation from the drain pan.
• Door not sealing well: excess moisture can increase frost and defrost water volume.

Step-by-step troubleshooting

1. Confirm it is water (not oil): wipe the puddle with a white paper towel. Water dries; compressor oil stays slick.
2. Look for a defrost pattern: if the leak appears every 8 to 12 hours, it often points to defrost water overflowing.
3. Inspect the drain pan (rear bottom): check for cracks, warping, or a pan that is out of position.
4. Check the water line connection: the manual calls out tightening leaking connections at the shutoff valve and refrigerator connection; inspect for slow drips.
5. Clean condenser coils: dust buildup can reduce airflow and evaporation; follow cleaning guidance in the 79571602013 owner's manual.

Quick symptom guide

What you notice	Most likely source	Best next step
Water appears after a defrost cycle	Defrost drain or drain pan	Clear drain path; verify pan placement
Water only when icemaker is on	Water line connection	Tighten fittings; re-seat tubing
Water near front corners	Door seal moisture, condensation	Check gasket seal and leveling
Water plus warm temps	Cooling/airflow issue	Clean coils; verify fans are running

Parts that commonly relate to leaks on this model

If you find the leak is coming from the cooling system area (rear bottom), these parts are often involved in airflow and heat removal:

• Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73784701 (dirty or damaged coils can worsen condensation and pan evaporation)

Why it matters

Water under a bottom-mount refrigerator can damage flooring and can also indicate a defrost drain restriction that may lead to ice buildup in the freezer. Fixing the drain and airflow early helps keep temperatures stable and prevents repeat leaks.

Common problems we see on Kenmore Elite refrigerators like model 79571602013 are warm temperatures from restricted airflow or dirty condenser coils, frost buildup from a defrost or door-seal issue, and unusual noises that are often normal but can point to a fan or compressor problem. Use the 79571602013 owner’s manual troubleshooting section to match symptoms to checks.

Most common symptoms and what to check first

• Not cooling or refrigerator section too warm: confirm vents are not blocked by food; airflow must move between sections.
• Runs a lot: frequent door openings, warm room temperature, or adding a lot of food can increase run time.
• Frost or ice buildup: check door gaskets for gaps and make sure doors close fully.
• No ice or low ice production: verify water supply is on, line is not kinked, and freezer is set to 0°F or below.
• Rattling or vibration: level the refrigerator so it rests solidly on the floor.

Quick troubleshooting guide (symptom to likely cause)

Symptom	Common cause	Good first step
Fresh food warm, freezer OK	Blocked air vents, airflow restriction	Clear packages away from vents and allow several hours to stabilize
Unit runs most of the time	Warm room, frequent openings, large food load	Reduce door openings; allow time after loading groceries
Buzzing, clicking, humming	Normal operating sounds or compressor start components	Compare to “normal sounds” in the manual; check for vibration/leveling
Ice maker not making enough ice	Water supply/pressure issue, warm freezer	Confirm shutoff valve fully open; set freezer to 0°F or below

Parts that commonly relate to these issues on this model

If testing points to a failed component, these are common matches for the symptoms above:

• Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73784701 (dirty or restricted coils can reduce cooling efficiency)
• Lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C (poor airflow, warm temps)
• Refrigerator gasket assembly ADX73550625 (air leaks, moisture, frost)
• Ice maker assembly (AEQ72909602) - refrigerator ice maker part by lg AEQ72909602 (no ice or low ice)

Why it matters

Cooling complaints are often caused by airflow blockage, dirty coils, or door sealing problems. Fixing those early helps stabilize temperatures, improves ice production, and reduces compressor run time.

Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79571602013 is in the 795.7160* model family; the exact exterior width, height, depth, and total capacity depend on the specific configuration. Use the dimensions and installation-clearance section in the 79571602013 owner's manual to confirm the measurements for your unit.

What “size” usually means

When customers ask for refrigerator size, it typically refers to one or more of these specs:

• Exterior width, height, and depth (for fitting in a cabinet opening)
• Depth with doors and handles (for walkway clearance)
• Overall capacity in cubic feet (storage volume)
• Required clearances for airflow and door swing

How to get the right measurements for your 79571602013

If you need the numbers quickly, measuring the cabinet is the most reliable method.

• Measure width across the cabinet at the widest point.
• Measure height from the floor to the top of the hinge cover or cabinet.
• Measure depth from the back to the front of the doors; add handle projection if installed.
• Measure the opening (top, middle, bottom) if you are installing in a cutout.

Measurement checklist

What to record	Measure from	Include
Width	left cabinet edge to right cabinet edge	widest point of cabinet
Height	floor to top	hinge cover if it sits higher
Depth	back panel to front	doors, then handles separately
Clearance	around unit	space for airflow and door swing

Why it matters

Correct dimensions prevent installation issues such as doors that cannot open fully, freezer drawers that hit surrounding cabinetry, and restricted airflow that can reduce cooling performance.
