Kenmore Elite 79572093311 refrigerator Parts

For a Kenmore Elite refrigerator, the model number is printed on the rating label inside the fresh food compartment or freezer area. On model 79572093311, the label is typically on an inside wall, inside the door area, or near the lower crisper drawer.

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall (upper area)
• Inside the refrigerator door frame (open the door and check the vertical frame)
• Behind or just above the lower crisper drawers (you may need to slide drawers out)
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall
• Near the front base area behind the kick plate or lower grille

Most Kenmore Elite rating labels include:

• Model number (for example, 79572093311)
• Serial number
• Electrical ratings (volts/amps)
• Sometimes a barcode

• Write the model number exactly as shown on the label (include all digits)
• Take a clear photo of the label before shopping for parts
• If the label is hard to read, try a flashlight and wipe dust off gently
• Use the model number when checking common maintenance items like the owner's manual

Kenmore Elite refrigerators can look similar across multiple model series, but parts like a refrigerator water filter, door gasket, or electronic control board can vary by model. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct replacement part the first time.

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators, including model 79572093311, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal household use. Regular maintenance (cleaning condenser coils, keeping door gaskets sealing, and changing filters on schedule) helps you reach the high end of that range.

A refrigerator’s life is usually determined by how hard the sealed system works and how well airflow and door sealing are maintained.

• 10 to 15 years is the normal expectation for a modern bottom-mount refrigerator
• Dirty condenser coils can shorten compressor life by increasing run time
• Worn door gaskets can cause warm air leaks, frost, and longer run times
• Clogged water filters can reduce dispenser flow and strain the water system
• Poor ventilation around the cabinet can trap heat and reduce efficiency

We recommend these habits for Kenmore Elite bottom-mount models like 79572093311:

• Vacuum or brush the condenser area regularly (more often with pets)
• Keep doors closing easily; avoid overloading door bins and shelves
• Clean and inspect gaskets; replace if torn, hardened, or not sealing
• Replace the water filter on schedule (or sooner if flow drops)
• Replace the air filter if your model uses one and odors linger

A refrigerator that runs longer and hotter than it should often fails earlier and costs more to operate. Simple upkeep can prevent “slow decline” problems that look like weak cooling but start with airflow, sealing, or filtration.

For maintenance intervals and the exact locations of filters and service access points on 79572093311, use the 79572093311 owner's manual. For step-by-step filter guidance, follow how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator.

Kenmore Elite launched as a premium Kenmore line in 1999. For your specific Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572093311, the exact build year depends on the unit’s serial number; we use the serial tag to pinpoint the manufacturing date.

Check the serial and model tag first; on bottom-mount refrigerators it’s commonly:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the controls
• Along the door frame (hinge side)
• On the back exterior panel (less common)

Once you find it, use the date-code guidance in the 79572093311 owner's manual.

Kenmore Elite refrigerators were built by different manufacturers over the years, so the date code format varies. These checks usually narrow it down fast:

• Look for a month + year code (letters or numbers) near the start of the serial
• Check for a week + year pattern (often two digits for week, two digits for year)
• Compare the serial tag format to the examples shown in the manual
• If the tag is worn, take a clear photo and write down every character

Kenmore Elite is a product line (introduced in 1999), but each refrigerator model has its own production run. Two Elite refrigerators can be many years apart even if they look similar.

If you’re dating the unit because of performance or water quality, these age-related items are worth checking:

• Replace the water filter on schedule (example part: genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801)
• Replace the air filter if odors linger (example part: lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408)
• Clean dust from the condenser area to improve cooling efficiency

Knowing the build year helps us match the right parts (like a water filter, door gasket, or control board) and choose the most effective troubleshooting steps for cooling, ice maker, and dispenser issues.

For Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572093311, the most common problems we see are poor cooling, ice maker or water dispenser issues, frost buildup in the freezer, and unusual noises. Many fixes start with airflow and filtration basics, then move to defrost, fan, and control components; see the 79572093311 owner's manual for model-specific checks.

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser area, restricted airflow, evaporator fan issue, or sealed-system/compressor problem
• Ice maker not making ice: low water supply, clogged filter, frozen fill tube, or ice maker failure
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged filter, kinked water line, or dispenser mechanism issue
• Frost or ice buildup: door not sealing, frequent door openings, or defrost system/sensor problem
• Buzzing, clicking, or rattling: fan blade hitting ice, loose panels, or compressor start components

1. Confirm controls are set correctly and doors close fully.
2. Make sure vents inside the fresh food section and freezer are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean dust from the condenser area (unplug first).
4. If you have a dispenser, replace the water filter on schedule and flush several gallons.
5. Listen for the evaporator fan; it should run when the compressor is running (door switch held closed).

Cooling and ice maker complaints often start with restricted airflow or water flow. Fixing those early helps prevent food spoilage, reduces frost buildup, and can keep the compressor from running longer than necessary.
