Kenmore Elite 79577253602 bottom-mount refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore Elite bottom-mount refrigerator model 79577253602, the correct water filter is the one specified for your exact model in the 79577253602 owner's manual. Using the model-matched filter prevents leaks, low water flow, and off-taste issues.

The fastest way to identify the right filter

Use these checks in order:

• Look up the filter section in the 79577253602 owner's manual (it typically lists the filter type and replacement guidance).
• Check the existing filter for a printed part number or filter model code.
• Confirm whether your refrigerator is set up with a water filter; the manual notes different water-pressure requirements for models with a filter versus without one.
• If you have off-taste or odor in ice or water, the manual notes that installing or replacing a filter can help.

What to do if you cannot read the old filter label

If the label is worn off, match by model and installation style:

What you can verify	What it tells us	What to do next
Filter is installed in the refrigerator	You need the exact replacement for that housing	Use the model-based filter listing from the manual and parts list
No filter is installed	Some setups use an external inline filter	Consider adding an inline filter in the water line near the refrigerator
Water flow is weak	Filter may be clogged or water pressure is low	Replace the filter and verify supply pressure

Why it matters

A correct, fresh filter helps protect the water valve and improves taste and odor. The manual specifically calls out that minerals (such as sulfur) can cause taste and odor issues and that a filter may be needed to correct them.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79577253602 is a bottom-freezer refrigerator; the exact exterior dimensions (width, depth, height) vary by the specific 795.7724_ / 795.7725_ color version and are listed in the 79577253602 owner's manual. Use the manual’s “Refrigerator Installation” section to confirm the measurements you need for your cabinet opening.

How to get the right measurements (what to measure)

Measure your space first, then compare it to the refrigerator’s specs:

• Width: cabinet opening side-to-side (include trim)
• Height: floor to the lowest overhead cabinet or soffit
• Depth: wall to the front edge of counters (include door swing clearance)
• Door and drawer clearance: room to fully open doors and pull out the freezer drawer
• Back clearance: space for the power cord and water line (if equipped)

Typical size range for this style (planning guidance)

Most Kenmore and LG-built bottom-freezer refrigerators in this class are approximately:

Measurement	Typical range (approx.)
Width	32 to 36 inches
Height	67 to 70 inches
Depth (cabinet)	30 to 34 inches

Use these ranges for rough planning; use the manual for the exact numbers for your version.

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents installation problems like doors hitting walls, the freezer drawer not clearing, poor airflow, or not being able to slide the refrigerator out for cleaning and service.

Related installation tip (water line)

If your 79577253602 has a water dispenser or icemaker, the manual’s water line section calls out common requirements such as 1/4-inch OD copper tubing and adequate water pressure. Plan extra slack so the refrigerator can be moved for service.

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite 79577253602 bottom-mount refrigerator include weak or no cooling (often after dirty condenser coils or airflow issues), doors that do not seal or close fully, ice or water issues, and normal-to-loud operating noises. The troubleshooting and cleaning steps in the owner's manual cover the most frequent fixes.

Most common symptoms and what to check first

• Not cooling well: allow up to 24 hours after plugging in; confirm temperature settings; clean condenser coils.
• Doors will not close completely: check leveling, food packages blocking the door, bins or shelves out of position.
• Frost or moisture around doors: clean door gaskets and the surfaces they touch; improve door closing habits.
• Water where it should not be: water in the defrost drain pan can be normal during defrost or in humid weather.
• Ice tastes bad or smells: discard early batches after installation, replace old ice, wrap foods tightly, clean the ice bin.

Parts that commonly relate to these problems

If the symptom points to a specific component, these model-matched parts are often involved:

• Interior light stays off or door-ajar behavior: refrigerator door push-button switch 6600JB1010A
• Door not sealing or warm air leaks: refrigerator gasket assembly ADX73350925
• Water leaks or icing from drainage issues: refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D
• Noisy operation or warm cabinet from poor heat removal: refrigerator condenser fan motor EAU61644105
• Cooling or defrost performance concerns: refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005C

Quick diagnosis guide

Symptom	Most likely area	First action we recommend
Refrigerator not cold enough	Airflow, coils, settings	Clean condenser coils; verify settings; wait 24 hours after restart
Doors pop open or do not shut	Leveling, obstructions, gasket	Level unit; reposition bins/shelves; clean gasket contact surfaces
Ice tastes or smells	Ice storage, food odors, water quality	Dump old ice; clean bin; wrap foods; consider filtration
Water in drain pan	Defrost cycle, humidity	Monitor; this is often normal

Why it matters

Most “big” refrigerator complaints trace back to airflow, door sealing, or routine cleaning. Fixing those early helps the compressor run less, stabilizes temperatures, and reduces frost, odors, and nuisance water.

Water leaking out of the bottom of your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79577253602 is usually caused by a defrost drain problem (water cannot reach the drain pan), a leak in the dispenser or icemaker water line, or condensation from a door that is not sealing tightly. Use the 79577253602 owner's manual to locate cleaning and care guidance and confirm your model’s water line setup.

Most common causes (and what to check first)

• Clogged defrost drain: Water from the defrost cycle backs up and spills into the fresh food area, then runs down to the floor.
• Cracked or loose water tubing: A small split or loose connection can drip and track to the bottom.
• Door not sealing: Warm air leaks in, creating excess condensation that can drip and pool.
• Drain tube issue: A damaged or misrouted drain tube can keep water from reaching the drain pan.

Quick troubleshooting steps

1. Unplug the refrigerator and protect the floor with towels.
2. Look for ice or standing water inside the refrigerator (often near the back wall or under drawers). This points to a defrost drain restriction.
3. Inspect the water line path (behind the unit and at the lower rear) for wet spots, mineral trails, or kinks.
4. Check door closing and gasket contact all the way around; clean the gasket and mating surface.
5. If the leak appears tied to water dispensing or icemaking, inspect and replace damaged tubing such as refrigerator tubing MJU62070602.

Helpful part-by-symptom guide

Symptom you see	Most likely area	What to do
Water inside fridge, then on floor	Defrost drain	Clear blockage; confirm water can flow to drain pan
Leak only when dispensing water or making ice	Water tubing or fittings	Inspect for cracks/loose connections; replace tubing
Water near door/front edge	Door seal/closing	Clean gasket, check alignment, reduce overloading door bins

Why it matters

Leaks can lead to ice buildup, odors, and floor damage. Your manual notes that water normally runs to the drain pan during defrost; when the drain path is restricted, that water can end up where it should not.
