How to check fridge model number?
For Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79579754904, the model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. On this style of refrigerator, that label is typically inside the fresh food compartment around the door opening or on an interior side wall; our 79579754904 refrigerator manual can help you confirm the exact label location and how to read it.
Where to look first (fastest checks)
- Open the fresh food (refrigerator) door and check the left or right interior wall near the front.
- Look around the door frame (the cabinet face the door seals against).
- Check behind or beside the crisper drawers; you may need to pull a drawer out.
- If you have a bottom freezer drawer, check the side walls near the drawer opening.
- Use a flashlight and look for a white or silver sticker that lists MODEL and SERIAL.
What the label should look like
Most Kenmore Elite labels include:
- Model number (for example, 79579754904)
- Serial number
- Electrical ratings (volts/amps)
- Sometimes a bar code
| What you need | Why you need it | Where it’s used |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the exact design and parts list | Parts lookup, diagrams, manuals |
| Serial number | Identifies production run details | Service, warranty, date coding |
If the label is hard to read
- Take a close-up photo and zoom in.
- Wipe gently with a damp cloth; avoid harsh cleaners that can remove printing.
- If the door is sagging and the label is rubbing, inspect the hinge area; a worn hinge can also affect door alignment.
Why it matters
Kenmore model numbers can look similar, but small differences change which parts fit. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct door switch, water inlet valve, ice maker, and other components for your refrigerator.

How many cubic feet is my Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79579754904, the exact cubic-foot capacity cannot be identified from the model number alone using the model-specific information available; Kenmore 795-prefix models do not encode a reliable, customer-decodable capacity in the digits. The most accurate way is to confirm capacity in the specifications section of the 79579754904 refrigerator manual or calculate it from interior measurements.
Best ways to confirm capacity for model 79579754904
- Check the product specifications section in the 79579754904 refrigerator manual.
- Look for a rating label inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall or ceiling area); some units list total capacity there.
- Measure the usable interior space and calculate cubic feet (good when labels are missing).
- Use capacity as a planning number, not a storage guarantee; shelves, ice maker, and bins reduce usable space.
How to calculate cubic feet (quick method)
- Empty the compartment you want to measure (refrigerator and freezer can be calculated separately).
- Measure height x width x depth in inches of the usable interior space.
- Multiply the three numbers to get cubic inches.
- Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet.
| What you measure | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| One compartment | H x W x D (inches) | cubic inches |
| Convert to cu. ft. | cubic inches ÷ 1,728 | cubic feet |
| Total capacity | fridge cu. ft. + freezer cu. ft. | total cu. ft. |
Why it matters
Capacity helps you compare refrigerators, plan grocery storage, and choose accessories like bins and organizers. For model 79579754904, confirming the spec in the manual avoids guessing based on the model number format.
