Kenmore 79571019010 refrigerator Parts

We treat Kenmore model 79571019010 as a Kenmore 795-prefix (LG-built) bottom-mount refrigerator; most units in this family are about 20 to 22 cubic feet. For the exact capacity for your specific configuration, confirm it in the 79571019010 owner's manual.

Use these quick checks to locate the official capacity listing:

• Look in the specifications section of the 79571019010 owner's manual.
• Check the model and serial tag inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall or ceiling area).
• Search for a “capacity” or “specifications” line on the rating label.
• If you have the original sales receipt or product listing, compare the listed capacity to the model number.

When you are estimating space for groceries or kitchen fit, these are the common ranges we see for this style:

Capacity (cubic feet) helps you plan food storage and compare models, but it also impacts airflow and temperature stability. If the refrigerator feels “tight” or struggles to cool evenly, organizing for airflow and keeping vents clear can make a noticeable difference.

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right; the first 3 digits are the source (manufacturer) code, and the remaining digits identify the design series and feature variations. For your Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator, the full model number 79571019010 is what we use to match the correct parts and diagrams.

Most Kenmore refrigerators have the model and serial tag in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the light cover
• On the door frame behind the crisper drawers
• On the cabinet wall behind the lower drawer (some bottom-mount designs)

For the exact label location and how Kenmore formats the tag for this unit, check the 79571019010 owner's manual.

Kenmore uses a prefix system; the first three digits identify who built the appliance, and the rest narrow down the platform and revision.

• Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer/source code (example: 795)
• Middle digits: series/platform identifiers
• Last digits: version, color, engineering change, or feature package

Using the complete model number prevents mismatches between similar Kenmore refrigerators that use different components (ice maker, door switch, sensors, rails).

• Parts can look identical but have different connectors or mounting points
• Revisions can change the ice maker style or wiring harness
• Door and drawer hardware varies by platform and production run

If you are troubleshooting a symptom, the model number also helps you use the right diagnostic info, such as Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes.

To reset the ice maker on Kenmore model 79571019010, we recommend a simple power reset first, then running the ice maker’s built-in test cycle (if your ice maker has a TEST button). Use the exact control and ice maker instructions in the 79571019010 owner’s manual.

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch OFF the circuit breaker.
• Wait 2 to 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Confirm the ice maker is ON (switch ON or shutoff arm down, depending on style).
• Wait 12 to 24 hours for ice production to fully return.

Many Kenmore 795 bottom-mount refrigerators use an LG-style ice maker with a small TEST button on the ice maker module.

• Pull out the ice bin.
• Locate the small TEST button on the ice maker head (often on the underside or side).
• Press and hold until the harvest cycle starts (you should hear the mechanism move).
• Reinstall the bin and close the freezer door.

Check these common causes before replacing parts:

• Freezer temperature is set correctly (target is 0°F)
• Water supply valve is open; water line is not kinked
• Fill tube is not frozen
• Door is closing fully and the door switch is working

If the door switch is intermittent, the ice maker can stop cycling; replacing the refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A (part number 6600JB1010K) is a common fix for door-related ice maker stoppages.

A reset clears a stuck harvest cycle and reboots the control logic. If temperature, water supply, or door-switch signals are wrong, the ice maker will not restart even after a successful reset.

Kenmore refrigerator model 79571019010 is a bottom-mount refrigerator; most Kenmore 795 bottom-mount units are roughly 33 inches wide, about 30 to 34 inches deep, and about 67 to 70 inches tall. For the exact cabinet dimensions and clearance requirements for your unit, use the 79571019010 owner's manual.

Measure with the doors closed and the unit in its normal position.

• Width: left cabinet side to right cabinet side (do not include the door handles)
• Height: floor to top of cabinet (include hinges only if they sit above the cabinet)
• Depth (cabinet): back of cabinet to front edge of doors (no handles)
• Depth (overall): back of cabinet to front of handles (if installed)
• Clearance: space needed behind, above, and on the hinge side for airflow and door swing

These are common ranges for this style and help with planning a move, a new opening, or a replacement.

Getting the size right prevents installation problems like doors that cannot open fully, poor airflow that causes warm temperatures, and water line kinks. The manual also lists the recommended clearances so the compressor and condenser can cool properly.

• Confirm your opening width at the front and back (walls are not always square)
• Check door swing and nearby obstacles (island, wall, pantry door)
• Plan for water line routing if you have an ice maker or dispenser
• Verify flooring height changes (tile to hardwood transitions)

For Kenmore refrigerator model 79571019010, the correct water filter is the one specified for that exact model number. We match filters by model because Kenmore refrigerators can use different cartridge styles, even within the same series; confirm the filter part number in the 79571019010 owner's manual.

Use these checks to avoid ordering the wrong cartridge:

• Verify the model number on the rating label inside the fresh food section (it must read 79571019010).
• Check the filter location (inside compartment, ceiling, or base grille) and the cartridge shape.
• Match the filter number listed in the manual to the replacement you buy.
• If your dispenser flow is slow, replace the filter first before troubleshooting valves or tubing.
• After installing, flush several gallons of water to clear air and carbon fines.

If the old filter is missing or the label is unreadable, the manual is the most reliable match point for this model.

A mismatched water filter can leak, reduce water flow, cause poor ice production, or trigger nuisance filter warnings. Using the filter specified for Kenmore 79571019010 protects the housing seal and keeps water taste and flow consistent.

If you are replacing the filter as part of routine maintenance, follow the steps in how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator.

Most Kenmore refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life. For a Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator like model 79571019010, reaching the high end of that range depends on steady airflow (clean coils), tight door seals, and fixing cooling or water issues early using the 79571019010 owner’s manual.

A refrigerator’s lifespan is mostly driven by compressor run time, heat removal, and how hard the sealed system has to work.

• 10 to 15 years is the normal expectation for most Kenmore refrigerators.
• 15+ years is common when condenser coils stay clean and doors seal tightly.
• Heavy use, warm kitchens, and blocked vents shorten life by increasing run time.
• Ignoring small issues (warm temps, frost buildup, leaks) often leads to major failures.
• Replacing wear items early (fans, sensors, switches) helps protect the compressor.

These steps reduce strain on the compressor and improve temperature stability.

• Vacuum and brush condenser coils regularly (more often with pets).
• Keep food from blocking air vents in the fresh food and freezer sections.
• Clean and inspect door gaskets; correct gaps and warping.
• Level the cabinet so doors self-close and seal consistently.
• Clear defrost drain issues to prevent ice and water problems.

A refrigerator that runs longer and hotter to maintain temperature wears out the compressor faster. Basic airflow and sealing maintenance keeps your Kenmore 79571019010 efficient, quieter, and more reliable over its full lifespan.

Water pooling inside the bottom of your Kenmore 79571019010 refrigerator most often happens when the defrost drain is clogged or frozen, so defrost meltwater overflows into the fresh food section. Less common causes include a door gasket air leak or a leaking water supply line.

A blocked drain prevents defrost water from reaching the drain pan under the refrigerator.

• Unplug the refrigerator.
• Remove the bottom bins/shelves and look for ice or water along the back wall and floor.
• Melt any ice with warm water; then flush the drain opening (a turkey baster works well).
• Clear sludge or food particles from the drain hole.
• Inspect the drain tube for cracks, kinks, or a loose fit.

If the tube is damaged or won’t clear, replace the refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D.

Warm air leaks create extra frost; that extra frost turns into extra defrost water.

• Clean the gasket and cabinet sealing surface with warm, soapy water
• Check for gaps, tears, or hardened sections
• Make sure drawers and bins are not holding the door open

If the puddle appears after using ice or water, focus on the water line.

• Check for drips at push-to-connect fittings
• Inspect tubing for rubbing, pinholes, or cracks
• Look for water tracks under the crisper area

For a model-matched line, use the refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602.

Standing water leads to odors, ice buildup, and floor damage. Clearing the drain restores proper defrost drainage and helps your Kenmore refrigerator hold steady temperatures.
