On a Kenmore 79571314313 bottom-mount refrigerator, the “bottom part” most people mean is the base grille (toe grille) area at the very bottom front, which covers the lower compartment and airflow openings. The compressor and condenser components are typically located in the lower rear section.

What you might be referring to (common “bottom parts”)

Depending on where you are looking, the bottom of a refrigerator can mean different components:

• Base grille (toe grille): the vented cover at the bottom front
• Machine compartment (lower rear): where the compressor, condenser fan, and condenser coil area are
• Bottom freezer section: the drawer, rails, and bin system on a bottom-mount model
• Drain system: drain tube and drain pan area that manages defrost water

For safety, our owner's manual specifically warns not to put hands or objects into the base grille or bottom area.

Quick ID guide by location

Where you’re looking	Common name	What it does
Bottom front (under doors)	Base grille (toe grille)	Covers vents and access area; helps airflow
Bottom back	Compressor area	Powers the cooling system
Bottom inside (freezer)	Freezer drawer system	Holds frozen food; slides in and out

Parts that relate to the “bottom area” on this model

If you are troubleshooting noise, leaks, or drawer issues, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:

• For water under the refrigerator: check the drain path and consider the refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D
• For cooling airflow and temperature problems: the refrigerator evaporator fan motor EAU65058315 is a common suspect
• For freezer drawer movement issues: inspect the refrigerator freezer drawer slide rail, right 5218JA1010E

Why it matters

Using the right name helps you find the correct diagram and replacement part faster. For example, “base grille” points you to the bottom front cover and vents, while “compressor” points to the sealed-system area in the lower rear.

A bottom-mount refrigerator like Kenmore model 79571314313 is better when you want fresh-food items at eye level and more freezer organization (pull-out drawers and baskets). A top-mount refrigerator is better when you want the simplest layout and typically lower energy use and purchase cost.

Quick comparison: top-mount vs bottom-mount

Feature	Top-mount (freezer on top)	Bottom-mount (freezer on bottom)
Everyday access	Freezer is easiest to reach	Fresh food is easiest to reach
Organization	Usually simpler shelving	Often more drawer-style storage
Ergonomics	More bending for fresh food	More bending for freezer
Efficiency (typical)	Often slightly better	Often slightly lower
Best for	Budget, simplicity	Meal prep, frequent fresh-food use

What we see on your Kenmore 79571314313

This model is a bottom freezer design (the Use & Care Guide covers “Bottom Freezer Refrigerator” models 795.7131*). For setup and day-to-day use details (shelves, door alignment, leveling), use the 79571314313 owner's manual.

How to decide for your kitchen

• Choose bottom-mount if you open the fresh-food doors many times per day.
• Choose top-mount if you use the freezer more often than the refrigerator.
• If you store lots of produce and leftovers, bottom-mount layouts usually feel easier to manage.
• If you want fewer moving parts (fewer drawers/rails), top-mount designs are often simpler.
• If door swing and closing matters, proper leveling helps either style close correctly.

Why it matters

The “better” choice is the one that matches how you reach for food. Bottom-mount models reduce bending for fresh-food access, while top-mount models often win on simplicity and typical energy use.

A “bad” compressor on your Kenmore 79571314313 bottom-mount refrigerator usually shows up as poor cooling with long run times, repeated clicking as it tries to start, or a hot compressor area while temperatures stay warm. Before condemning the compressor, we rule out airflow, dirty condenser cover/vents, and power-related cool-down delays using the owner's manual.

Quick checks before blaming the compressor

• Give a newly plugged-in refrigerator up to 24 hours to cool completely.
• Confirm doors close fully and gaskets seal; warm air leaks can mimic compressor failure.
• Make sure air vents are not blocked by food packages.
• Clean the condenser cover and vents with a vacuum attachment (do not remove the rear panel covering the condenser coil area).
• Listen for “normal” sounds (whooshing, gurgling, some clicking) versus repeated start-fail clicking.

Symptoms that strongly point to a compressor or start-device problem

These symptoms are most meaningful when the condenser cover/vents are clean and airflow is clear:

What you notice	What it often means	What to do next
Repeated clicking every few minutes, little or no cooling	Compressor struggling to start; start device/overload may be tripping	Check the compressor start components; consider replacing the refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D if it tests faulty
Compressor runs a lot but fridge/freezer stay warm	Sealed-system or compressor efficiency issue; sometimes airflow/fan issue	Verify evaporator fan operation; review cooling troubleshooting in the manual
Compressor is very hot to the touch and shuts off	Overheating from restricted airflow, dirty vents, or overload trip	Clean vents, ensure clearance, then recheck operation

Why it matters

Replacing a compressor is a major repair. Doing the airflow and cooling-time checks first prevents unnecessary parts replacement and often restores normal temperatures with basic maintenance.

Parts and resources we use most for this issue

• If you suspect a start/overload trip condition, the refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D is a common related part.
• For model-specific troubleshooting steps and normal noise descriptions, use the owner's manual.
• To shop additional parts by model number, search on Sears PartsDirect.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 79571314313 are not cooling or running warm, water leaks, ice maker issues, doors not sealing or closing, and unusual noises. The fastest model-specific checks are in the troubleshooting section of the 79571314313 owner's manual.

Most common problems and likely causes

• Too warm or not cooling: blocked air vents, doors opened often, condenser cover and vents clogged, or airflow problems.
• Food freezing in fresh food: items placed near an air vent, temperature set too cold, or the refrigerator installed in a cold location.
• Water puddles/leaks: restricted defrost drain or drain tube, or a water supply connection issue.
• Ice maker not making enough ice: freezer set too warm (0°F is the typical target), doors not closing fully, or low water pressure.
• Doors pop open or will not close: food packages blocking the door, bins/shelves out of position, or the refrigerator not level.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Clear packages away from air vents so cold air can circulate.
• Verify doors close completely; reposition bins, pans, shelves, and the ice bin.
• Clean sticky/dirty door gaskets with mild soap and water; dry fully.
• Vacuum dust from the condenser cover and vents (do not remove the condenser panel).

Common repairs and example parts for this model

Symptom	What to inspect	Example part
Ice maker problems	Water supply and valve	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU73753101
Ice maker not producing	Ice maker assembly	Lg refrigerator ice maker assembly AEQ72909603
Water under refrigerator	Drain path and tube	Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D

Why it matters

Most cooling, leak, and ice complaints trace back to airflow, door sealing, and drain flow. Fixing those basics first prevents frost buildup, food spoilage, and repeat ice maker problems.
