Kenmore Elite 79573165610 refrigerator Parts

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79573165610 include warm temperatures from restricted airflow or dirty condenser coils, ice maker and dispenser issues, water leaks from filter or tubing connections, and door sealing problems that cause frost or sweating. We use the 79573165610 owner's manual to match symptoms to checks and settings.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coil, failed compressor start relay, evaporator fan issue, or a sealed-system problem
• Ice maker not making ice: frozen fill tube, low water pressure, clogged filter, or a failed ice maker
• Water dispenser slow or not working: clogged water filter, kinked line, or inlet valve issue
• Water leaking or puddles: loose filter seating, cracked tubing, or defrost drain restriction
• Frost buildup or moisture: door gasket not sealing, doors out of alignment, or frequent door openings
• Bad odors: expired air filter, spills, or blocked airflow

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm temps: 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer (typical targets).
2. Make sure vents inside the compartments are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean the condenser area (unplug first); heavy dust can raise temps.
4. If water flow is weak, replace the filter and flush several gallons.
5. Inspect door seals for gaps, tears, or areas that do not “grab” a dollar bill.

Parts that commonly solve these issues on this model

Symptom	Part to consider	What it affects
Slow water, poor ice	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801	Water flow and taste; ice maker fill
Odors in fresh food	Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408	Air circulation and odor control
Clicking, no start	Refrigerator compressor start relay EBG60663230	Compressor starting circuit
Leaks at filter housing	Refrigerator water filter bypass ABN73019101	Helps isolate filter-related restrictions

Why it matters

Catching airflow, filtration, and door-seal problems early helps the compressor run less, keeps food safer, and prevents repeat ice maker and leak complaints.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator like model 79573165610 typically lasts 10 to 15 years. With consistent maintenance (clean condenser coils, keep door gaskets sealing, and replace filters on schedule), it’s common to reach the upper end of that range.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most refrigerator life is determined by heat management, airflow, and how hard the sealed system has to work.

• Condenser coil cleanliness (dusty coils run hotter and longer)
• Door seal condition (air leaks cause longer run times and frost)
• Room temperature and ventilation around the cabinet
• Ice maker and dispenser use (more cycling and water system wear)
• Filter changes (helps water flow and reduces strain on the dispenser system)

Maintenance schedule we recommend

Use this as a practical baseline; for model-specific care steps, follow the 79573165610 owner's manual.

Task	How often	Why it matters
Vacuum/brush condenser area	Every 6 to 12 months	Reduces compressor run time and heat stress
Check door gasket seal and alignment	Every 3 to 6 months	Prevents warm air leaks and frost buildup
Replace water filter	About every 6 months	Maintains water flow and taste
Replace air filter (if equipped)	About every 6 months	Helps reduce odors and keeps airflow fresh

Parts that commonly impact longevity

These parts do not “set” the lifespan, but they often drive performance problems when worn or clogged.

• Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004 (dirty or restricted airflow raises operating temps)
• Refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461 (poor seal causes temperature swings)
• Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 (low flow can affect dispenser performance)
• Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408 (helps control odors and air quality)

Why it matters

Once a refrigerator starts running hot, running constantly, or leaking air at the doors, energy use goes up and major components like the compressor and fans wear faster. Simple upkeep is the most reliable way to extend service life.

The Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79573165610 has an overall capacity of 30.59 cubic feet. You can also confirm the capacity in the specifications section of the 79573165610 owner's manual and on the model and serial label inside the fresh food compartment.

Quick ways to confirm the capacity on your unit

• Check the specifications pages in the 79573165610 owner's manual
• Find the model and serial label inside the refrigerator section (commonly on a side wall)
• Look for a tech sheet (often behind the toe grille or rear access cover)
• Match the capacity to your exact model number; similar Kenmore 795 models can have different sizes

Capacity reference

Spec	Value
Model	79573165610
Overall capacity	30.59 cu. ft.

Why it matters

Capacity affects how you plan food storage and airflow. Even with a large 30.59 cu. ft. interior, keeping vents clear and not overpacking helps the refrigerator cool evenly and maintain stable temperatures.

Maintenance that helps performance (not capacity)

These items do not change cubic feet, but they help the refrigerator run efficiently:

• Replace the water filter on schedule; use the correct fit such as genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
• Reduce odors by replacing the air filter when needed; see lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
• Keep condenser areas clean to support efficient cooling
