Kenmore 59662822200 refrigerator Parts

A bottom-mount refrigerator like the Kenmore 59662822200 puts the fresh-food section at eye level and the freezer in a lower drawer. That means you reach for everyday items with less bending, while still getting full freezer capacity below.

Key advantages in daily use

• Fresh food is easier to see and grab: shelves and crisper drawers are higher up.
• Less bending for frequent items: milk, produce, leftovers, and condiments stay in the upper compartment.
• Freezer drawer holds bulky items well: pizzas, bags of frozen food, and bins stack neatly.
• Better organization for many households: you typically use the refrigerator more often than the freezer.
• Good airflow and efficiency when installed correctly: the manual recommends about 1 inch of clearance around the top and sides for ventilation.

Bottom-mount vs. top-freezer: quick comparison

Feature	Bottom-mount refrigerator	Top-freezer refrigerator
Most-used compartment height	Refrigerator at eye level	Refrigerator lower, more bending
Freezer access	Pull-out drawer	Swing door
Best for	Frequent fresh-food use	Frequent freezer use
Typical organization	Wide drawers and baskets	Stacked shelves

Why it matters

Most people open the refrigerator section far more than the freezer. With a bottom-mount design, we see faster “in and out” trips, less strain on your back and knees, and easier meal prep because fresh ingredients are right where you naturally look.

Tips to get the most from a bottom-mount design

• Keep the most-used items on the middle shelves for quickest access.
• Avoid overcrowding shelves so cold air can circulate.
• Let temperatures stabilize for 24 hours after changing controls.
• Maintain recommended ventilation clearance for efficient operation.

For model-specific features and setup details (including temperature control locations and clearance guidance), use the 59662822200 owner's manual. If you need replacement parts for this refrigerator, you can shop by model on Sears PartsDirect.

On a Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator like model 59662822200, the “bottom part” most people mean is the machine compartment area at the lower rear, where the compressor and other cooling-system components sit. For model-specific component locations, use the owner's manual.

What’s typically located at the bottom of the fridge

Depending on what you’re looking at (front vs. back), the bottom area can include:

• Compressor (the main pump that circulates refrigerant)
• Condenser coil and condenser fan (removes heat from the system)
• Drip tray (catches defrost water so it can evaporate)
• Leveling legs and toe grille (front bottom trim and leveling points)
• Wiring and control components (varies by configuration)

Quick guide: “bottom part” terms customers use

What you see	Common name	What it does
Black can-shaped motor at lower back	Compressor	Drives the cooling cycle
Warm tubing/coil near compressor	Condenser	Releases heat
Plastic pan underneath	Drip tray	Collects defrost water
Front bottom cover	Toe grille	Covers access area, helps airflow

Why it matters

Using the right name helps you troubleshoot faster and order the correct replacement part. For example, “bottom is warm” often points to normal condenser heat, while “bottom is noisy” can point to the compressor area or a fan.

When the “bottom part” is the freezer

Because 59662822200 is a bottom-mount refrigerator, some customers mean the bottom freezer compartment (drawer/basket area). If you need freezer storage parts, one common item is the refrigerator lower basket WP12754803.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 59662822200 are warm temperatures from airflow issues, ice maker troubles, water leaks, frost buildup, and doors not sealing. Many fixes start with cleaning condenser coils, clearing vents, and checking door gaskets; see the 59662822200 owner's manual for model-specific troubleshooting.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or food too warm: dirty condenser coils, blocked rear air grille/vents, frequent door openings, or control settings needing adjustment.
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issues, ice maker mechanism failure, or freezer temperature too warm.
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged/iced defrost drain, loose water line connections, or door not closing fully.
• Excessive frost: door left ajar, torn/warped gasket, or defrost system problems.
• Noisy operation: fan noise, ice maker cycling, or sealed-system components working harder due to dirty coils.

Quick checks we recommend first (safe DIY)

1. Confirm temperatures: set refrigerator to about 37°F and freezer to about 0°F.
2. Clean condenser coils: dust buildup commonly causes warm temps and longer run times.
3. Check airflow: keep packages from blocking vents and the rear air grille.
4. Inspect door sealing: look for gaps, rips, or areas where the gasket is not contacting the cabinet.
5. Look for simple obstructions: bins or shelves preventing the door from closing.

Common problems and likely parts involved (for 59662822200)

Problem	What to inspect	Example part for this model
Ice maker not working	Ice maker module, fill issues, freezer temp	Refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q
Door not sealing, moisture/frost	Gasket condition and alignment	Refrigerator freezer door gasket WPW10436247
Intermittent cooling or odd behavior	Electronic control symptoms	Refrigerator control module WP12476002

Why it matters

Cooling and moisture problems often trace back to airflow and door sealing. Fixing those early helps prevent food warming, frost buildup, and longer compressor run times.

A bad compressor in your Kenmore 59662822200 bottom-mount refrigerator usually shows up as poor cooling with the unit trying to run (humming, repeated clicking, or running constantly) but temperatures never recover. Before condemning the compressor, we confirm airflow, condenser cleanliness, and start components because those failures can mimic a “bad compressor.”

Quick symptoms that point to a compressor problem

• Refrigerator and freezer are warm even after 24 hours of running
• You hear repeated clicking every few minutes (start attempt then shutoff)
• Compressor is very hot to the touch after trying to run (overload tripping)
• Compressor is silent while interior lights work (no start attempt)
• Unit runs almost nonstop but never reaches set temperatures

Checks to do first (most common look-alikes)

Use the troubleshooting and normal-sound guidance in the 59662822200 owner's manual to separate normal operation from a true failure.

• Clean the condenser coils (dirty coils can cause long run times and warm temps)
• Verify the temperature controls are set correctly (controls set too warm can look like “no cooling”)
• Listen for normal sounds (a compressor can make a high-pitched hum during normal operation)
• Confirm the refrigerator has power and is not in a defrost cycle (some models can pause cooling during defrost)
• Check door sealing and loading (warm air leaks and overpacking reduce cooling performance)

What a technician tests to confirm a bad compressor

These tests distinguish a failed compressor from a failed start device or control issue.

Test or observation	What it indicates	Typical next step
Repeated click from overload	Compressor not starting or drawing high amps	Check start components, then compressor
Amp draw at startup	Locked rotor or hard-start condition	Evaluate compressor and start circuit
Winding continuity to common/start/run	Open winding vs normal windings	Replace compressor if winding is open
Ground fault (winding to shell)	Electrical short to ground	Replace compressor

Parts that may be involved on this model

If testing confirms a sealed-system or compressor issue, the compressor itself is a model-matched replacement part: refrigerator compressor W10160407.

Why it matters

Replacing a compressor is a major sealed-system repair. Confirming the diagnosis first prevents replacing an expensive part when the real cause is airflow, dirty coils, a control setting, or a start-protection issue.
