Kenmore 79571014011 refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore model 79571014011, the exact cubic-foot capacity is listed in the specifications section of the owner's manual. The most reliable on-appliance confirmation is the rating plate inside the fresh food compartment, which matches your model number to the correct capacity.

• Check the rating plate inside the refrigerator section (often on a side wall near the crisper area); it typically lists model/serial and may list capacity.
• Look up the specifications for 79571014011 in the owner's manual.
• If you are measuring for fit, use the refrigerator’s external dimensions (width, height, depth) rather than capacity; cubic feet does not tell you whether it fits a space.
• If you are comparing storage, note that shelves, ice maker, and ducts reduce usable space even when cubic feet is the same.

Kenmore model numbers that start with 795 are commonly associated with LG-built designs, and capacity can vary a lot within the same series. Using the exact model number 79571014011 prevents mixing specs from a similar-looking refrigerator.

Cubic-foot capacity is a marketing and comparison spec; it does not guarantee usable shelf space or fit. Confirming the correct capacity for 79571014011 helps you compare models accurately and avoid ordering the wrong bins, shelves, or ice maker components.

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right; the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer, and the remaining digits identify the product series and specific design. For your Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator, the model number 79571014011 starts with 795, which indicates it was built by LG.

We recommend checking these common locations first:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the light cover
• On the door frame (hinge side) when you open the refrigerator door
• On a label behind the lower toe grille or near the bottom front edge
• On the back of the cabinet (less convenient, but common)

For diagrams and label-location details specific to this unit, use the owner's manual.

Kenmore model numbers typically follow this pattern:

The prefix helps us match you to the correct parts list and compatible components. For Kenmore 795 refrigerators, many parts cross to LG-built designs, so using the full model number prevents ordering errors.

When you are troubleshooting or replacing components, match parts by model first, then by symptom. For example, cooling issues often involve the sealed system (compressor, condenser, dryer) while “lights not working” can point to a door switch.

• Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A (door-activated light and control signal)
• Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801 (sealed system compressor)
• Refrigerator temperature sensor and cover ACQ73244001 (temperature feedback to the control)

Using the complete Kenmore model number (all digits) is the fastest way to get the right Kenmore refrigerator parts, correct diagrams, and accurate troubleshooting steps for your exact configuration.

A bad compressor in your Kenmore 79571014011 bottom-mount refrigerator usually shows up as poor cooling with the unit running a lot, repeated clicking as it tries to start, or the compressor staying silent when it should be running. Confirm the basics first (power, airflow, coils) before replacing sealed-system parts; see the 79571014011 owner's manual for model-specific checks.

• Refrigerator and freezer both warm even though the lights and controls work
• Repeated clicking every few minutes (start attempt, then overload trips)
• Compressor is very hot to the touch after running attempts (use caution)
• Compressor hums briefly, then shuts off
• You hear fans running, but temperatures do not recover

Many “bad compressor” complaints are caused by airflow or control issues. Check these items before you assume the compressor failed:

• Clean dust from the condenser area; restricted airflow can mimic compressor trouble
• Make sure the condenser fan and evaporator fan are running (when the unit calls for cooling)
• Verify doors seal and close fully; warm air leaks can cause nonstop running
• Confirm temperature settings were not accidentally changed
• Look for heavy frost on the freezer back wall (can indicate a defrost/airflow issue)

Compressor diagnosis is typically confirmed with electrical and start-circuit checks.

If the compressor is confirmed failed, replacement is a sealed-system repair. For this model, the compressor part listed is the refrigerator compressor TCA38091801. A common related item when a compressor will not start is the refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D.

A compressor is the heart of the cooling system. Replacing it without confirming airflow, fan operation, and start components can lead to unnecessary cost and the same “not cooling” symptom.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator typically lasts 10 to 15 years. With steady maintenance (clean airflow, stable temperatures, and good door sealing), many units run into the mid-teens before major sealed-system parts like the compressor become the deciding factor.

• Average: 10 to 15 years
• Common “good run” with maintenance: 12 to 16 years
• Shortened lifespan drivers: poor ventilation, dirty condenser area, frequent door openings, warm room temps
• Longer lifespan drivers: clean condenser area, correct leveling, tight door seals, stable power

We recommend these practical habits for Kenmore model 79571014011:

• Keep the condenser area clean so heat can leave the cabinet efficiently.
• Confirm doors close fully and seals are clean so the unit does not run constantly.
• Set and maintain proper temps (about 37°F fresh food, 0°F freezer).
• Avoid overpacking vents; blocked airflow forces longer run times.
• Use a surge protector rated for refrigerators if your home has frequent power events.

Refrigerators usually do not “wear out” all at once; efficiency and temperature control decline first. Catching airflow or icing issues early can prevent the constant run time that accelerates wear on high-cost components like the refrigerator compressor TCA38091801.

For model-specific care, cleaning, and operating guidance, follow the owner's manual.
