Kenmore Elite 79551867613 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

The exact cubic-foot capacity for Kenmore Elite model 79551867613 is listed on the model’s specification information in the 79551867613 owner's manual. This model is a Kenmore Elite side-by-side refrigerator (795.5186* series), and capacity varies by the exact configuration within the series.

We recommend using one of these quick checks:

• Look in the 79551867613 owner's manual for the specifications section.
• Check the model and serial label inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall).
• Look for a “capacity” or “cu. ft.” line on the product record/spec label.
• If you have the tech sheet behind the base grille area, it may list key specs.

Your manual identifies this refrigerator as 795.5186* (the asterisk indicates a color code). That tells us you are in a specific Kenmore Elite side-by-side platform, but it does not lock in one single capacity number across all color/trim variations.

Cubic-foot capacity affects how you choose replacement parts and accessories (like shelving, bins, and the correct refrigerator water filter), and it also helps when comparing energy use and storage space.

If you are checking capacity because you are refreshing the refrigerator’s performance, these are common maintenance-related items for this model:

• Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9490 ADQ73613402 (water taste, flow, and ice quality)
• Door gaskets (air leaks can reduce cooling efficiency)
• Water line fittings (leaks or low dispenser flow)

Yes. For Kenmore Elite model 79551867613, the most reliable reset is a power reset: unplug the refrigerator (or turn off the breaker) for about 5 to 10 minutes, then restore power and let the controls reboot. For the water filter light, use the built-in filter reset.

• Power reset (control reboot): Unplug for 5 to 10 minutes, then plug back in.
• Water filter indicator reset: Press and hold the Filter Reset button for about 3 seconds after replacing the filter.
• Control lock check: If the panel is unresponsive, make sure Control Lock is not enabled.
• Cooling settings check: After power is restored, confirm the refrigerator and freezer temperature settings are where you want them.
• Door alarm note: The door alarm activates when power is connected and cannot be deactivated.

A reset clears minor control glitches, especially after a power interruption. It will not fix a mechanical or sealed-system problem (for example, a failed compressor, refrigerant issue, or airflow restriction).

If the issue is water or ice related (not just the light), these model-matched parts are often involved:

• Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9490 ADQ73613402 (filter light, taste/odor, flow)
• Refrigerator water inlet valve AJU34125558 (no water to dispenser or ice maker)
• Refrigerator dispenser ice chute door motor EAU59551204 (ice door not opening/closing)

Resetting the right way prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps you separate a simple control issue (fixed by rebooting or filter reset) from a cooling, ice, or water delivery problem that needs troubleshooting.

For model-specific button locations and troubleshooting steps, use the 79551867613 owner's manual.

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators, including model 79551867613, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal household use. Regular maintenance (especially cleaning condenser coils and keeping door seals tight) is what most often separates a 10-year refrigerator from a 15-year one.

• Condenser coil cleanliness: dirty coils make the compressor run hotter and longer.
• Door gasket condition: air leaks cause longer run times and temperature swings.
• Water filter changes: restricted flow can reduce dispenser performance and stress the water system.
• Vent and airflow habits: blocking vents can lead to uneven cooling and icing.
• Power quality: frequent outages or surges can shorten control and compressor component life.

Use the care and maintenance guidance in the 79551867613 use and care guide.

• Vacuum and brush the condenser area every 6 to 12 months.
• Clean and inspect door gaskets; replace if torn, warped, or not sealing.
• Keep interior air vents clear of food packages.
• Replace the water filter on schedule; for this model, a common replacement is the Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9490 ADQ73613402.
• Confirm temperatures stay near 37°F (fresh food) and 0°F (freezer) after adjustments.

A refrigerator that runs longer to maintain temperature uses more energy and puts extra wear on the compressor and fans. Simple upkeep (coils, seals, airflow, and filter changes) is the most reliable way to extend service life and avoid cooling problems.
