Kenmore 59673504200 refrigerator Parts

You can identify your Kenmore refrigerator model by finding the model and serial tag on the cabinet liner, typically inside the fresh food section or freezer. For Kenmore model 59673504200, the 59673504200 owner's manual also lists the model series and helps confirm you have the right Use and Care Guide.

Where to look for the model number tag

We most often see the model tag in one of these spots:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (cabinet liner)
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall
• On the frame behind the crisper drawers (you may need to slide drawers out)
• Along the door opening near the hinge side
• Behind the lower toe grille (kick plate) area

What the model number looks like

For this Kenmore bottom-mount platform, the model number is usually a 10 to 12 character number.

Example	What it means
596.73504200	Full model number format (brand prefix + model)
59673504200	Same model number without the dot

Tips to confirm you wrote it down correctly

Small character mistakes can pull up the wrong parts list, so we recommend:

• Copy the number exactly as printed (including dots or dashes)
• Take a clear photo of the tag before ordering parts
• Record the serial number too (helps match production variations)
• If you are checking parts for the ice system, match the model first, then the part

Why it matters

The model number determines the correct parts and procedures for your refrigerator, including items like the refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q, door sealing components, and lighting. Using the exact model number helps avoid ordering a part that fits a similar looking Kenmore unit but not yours.

Kenmore model numbers (including refrigerator model 59673504200) are read left to right: the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer code, and the remaining digits narrow down the base design and the exact feature or color variation. This helps us match the correct parts and manuals.

What each section of a Kenmore model number means

Most Kenmore model numbers follow this pattern:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer identifier (who built it for Kenmore)
• Middle digits: the base platform or series (the core design)
• Ending digits: specific configuration details (feature set, finish, revision)

For example, 59673504200 breaks down like this:

Section	Example	What it tells us
Manufacturer prefix	596	Who manufactured the unit for Kenmore
Base model/platform	73504	The core refrigerator design family
Variation/revision	200	The exact version used to match parts

Where to find the model number on the refrigerator

We use the model number from the rating label, not the door badge.

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• Near the crisper drawers
• Sometimes behind the toe grille or on the cabinet frame

Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting

Kenmore refrigerators can look nearly identical across several versions, but use different components. Using the full model number helps us:

• Pull the correct diagrams and part list for 59673504200
• Match exact replacements like the refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q
• Avoid ordering a similar-looking part that will not fit

A bad compressor in your Kenmore 59673504200 bottom-mount refrigerator usually shows up as poor cooling with the unit trying to run, unusual clicking as it attempts to start, or the refrigerator running frequently without reaching safe temperatures. First, confirm the sound you hear is not a normal compressor hum listed in the 59673504200 owner's manual.

Quick checks we recommend first (before assuming the compressor failed)

• Verify the refrigerator and freezer controls are set correctly and give it 24 hours to stabilize after changes.
• Clean condenser coils and make sure airflow is not blocked (restricted airflow can mimic compressor trouble).
• Check that doors seal and close fully; warm air leaks can cause long run times.
• Listen for normal sounds: a high-pitched hum can be normal compressor operation.
• Rule out a fan issue; if the evaporator fan is not moving air, cooling will suffer even with a good compressor.

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

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 components or compressor)	Unplug and schedule electrical testing
Compressor very hot to the touch and cooling is weak	Overload cycling, poor ventilation, or failing compressor	Clean coils, ensure airflow, then test
Refrigerator runs a lot and temperatures stay warm	Sealed system or compressor efficiency issue	Confirm fans and coils first, then service
No compressor sound at all, lights work	Control, start components, or compressor not engaging	Professional diagnosis recommended

Parts that are commonly involved (model-specific examples)

If diagnosis points away from the compressor, these model-related parts can still affect cooling and symptoms:

• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 12002744 (moves cold air through the compartments)
• Refrigerator capacitor wp65889-4 (can be part of the compressor start circuit on some designs)
• Refrigerator defrost timer board WP12566102 (defrost problems can reduce airflow and cooling)

Why it matters

A compressor is the heart of the sealed cooling system. Misdiagnosing it can lead to unnecessary cost, because dirty coils, airflow problems, door seal leaks, or a failed fan can create the same “not cold enough” symptoms.

The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 59673504200 are cooling problems (often dirty condenser coils or airflow issues), water leaks (typically a clogged drain or poor door seal), ice maker troubles, and normal but unfamiliar operating noises. Use the 59673504200 owner's manual troubleshooting chart to match symptoms to the fastest fix.

Common problems and what to check first

• Not cooling or food too warm: clean condenser coils, confirm the rear air grille is not blocked, and verify the doors close fully.
• Runs too frequently: dirty coils, warm room conditions, frequent door openings, or a door not sealing.
• Water droplets inside or outside: high humidity, frequent door openings, or a gasket that is not sealing.
• Bad odors: spills, uncovered foods, or a dirty interior.
• Ice maker not making ice: ice maker arm left in the “off” position, no water supply, or a failed ice maker.
• Unfamiliar noises: humming, hissing, sizzling, or popping can be normal during compressor and defrost operation.

Quick symptom-to-cause guide

Symptom	Most likely cause	Best first step
Food warm	Dirty condenser coils, door not closing	Clean coils; check door seal and obstructions
Water on floor	Drain issue, water line/valve issue	Inspect drain path; check supply line and valve
Ice maker stopped	Arm in “off”, water supply issue	Lower arm; confirm water supply is on
Condensation	High humidity, gasket leak	Reduce door openings; inspect gasket seal

Parts that commonly solve these problems

If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these model-matched parts are common fixes:

• Ice production issues: refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q
• Poor airflow or warm temps: refrigerator evaporator fan motor 12002744
• Water not dispensing or no ice fill: refrigerator valve WP12544002
• Door not sealing (frost, sweating, warm temps): gasket,fz d W10436252

Why it matters

Most “big” refrigerator complaints trace back to airflow, door sealing, or routine cleaning. Fixing those early helps stabilize temperatures, reduces compressor run time, and prevents leaks and ice buildup.

The cubic foot (total capacity) for Kenmore refrigerator model 59673504200 is listed in the product specifications for this model. The fastest way to confirm the exact total capacity for your unit is to check the specifications section in the 59673504200 owner's manual.

How to find the capacity in the manual

Look for a section labeled Specifications, Product data, or Capacity. It is typically shown as:

• Total capacity (cu. ft.)
• Refrigerator (fresh food) capacity
• Freezer capacity
• Sometimes “usable” vs. “total” volume

What “cubic feet” means (and what it does not)

Cubic feet is the refrigerator’s interior storage volume, not the outside size. Two models with the same cubic feet can still have different widths, heights, and depths.

• Higher cu. ft. usually means more shelf and bin space
• Ice maker and water tank can reduce usable space slightly
• Shelf layout can make one model feel larger than another

Typical capacity range for this style (for comparison)

Most Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators with French doors and a bottom freezer fall in this general range:

Refrigerator style	Typical total capacity
Bottom-mount, French door	20 to 26 cu. ft.
Bottom-mount, single door	18 to 22 cu. ft.

Why it matters

Knowing the correct cubic feet helps you compare models accurately, plan food storage, and confirm you are buying the right replacement parts and accessories for the correct platform.

Most Kenmore refrigerators last 12 to 15 years on average. For your Kenmore 59673504200 bottom-mount refrigerator, steady temperatures, clean airflow (especially behind the cabinet), and prompt repair of cooling or water issues are what most often determine whether you reach or exceed that range; see the 59673504200 owner's manual.

What affects refrigerator lifespan the most

• Ventilation and condenser cleanliness: Dust buildup and tight clearances make the compressor work harder.
• Stable temperatures: Frequent warm-ups increase run time and wear.
• Door sealing and alignment: Air leaks force longer cooling cycles.
• Ice maker and water system health: Leaks, low water pressure, and clogs can create secondary damage.
• Timely part replacement: Fixing small failures early prevents bigger ones.

Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)

• Keep the refrigerator and freezer near recommended temps; the manual notes fresh food should be 34°F to 40°F (optimum 37°F) and the freezer about 0°F.
• Allow airflow behind the unit; the manual calls for about 1/2 inch of air space at the back.
• Confirm doors close smoothly and fully; replace worn door hardware if the door sags or pops open.
• If you use the water filter, replace it about every 6 months to help protect the water system.
• Address ice maker issues early; a failing ice maker can lead to leaks or freezing in the fill tube.

Typical lifespan expectations by condition

Condition	What we usually see	Expected lifespan
Well maintained	Clean airflow, good seals, stable temps	15 years
Average use	Basic cleaning, occasional issues	12 to 15 years
Poor airflow or chronic warm temps	Dirty coils, blocked vents, door leaks	Under 12 years

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is struggling to hold temperature runs longer and harder, which shortens the life of major components like the compressor and evaporator fan. Keeping airflow clear and temperatures stable is the simplest way to protect the sealed system.
