Kenmore 79572033111 refrigerator Parts

Yes. Multiple major brands make 33-inch wide refrigerators, and that size is a common “in-between” option when a 30-inch unit is too small but a 36-inch unit will not fit. For fit and clearance details around your Kenmore 79572033111 space, use the 79572033111 owner's manual.

What you can expect from a 33-inch refrigerator

Most 33-inch models are designed to maximize capacity while still fitting tighter kitchen cutouts.

• Available in French door, side-by-side, and bottom-freezer styles
• Often offered in standard-depth and counter-depth designs
• Typically provides more usable storage than many 30-inch models
• Commonly includes an ice maker and water dispenser options (model dependent)
• Requires extra clearance for doors, drawers, and ventilation

Quick size comparison (typical)

Use this as a planning guide; always confirm the exact width and required clearances for the specific model you choose.

Nominal width class	Typical actual cabinet width	Best for
30-inch	~29 1/2 to 30 inches	Very tight spaces, smaller households
33-inch	~32 1/2 to 33 inches	Mid-size kitchens, better capacity without 36-inch cutout
36-inch	~35 1/2 to 36 inches	Larger kitchens, maximum capacity

Fit checklist before you buy

These checks prevent the most common installation surprises.

• Measure the opening width at the front and back (walls are not always square)
• Confirm door swing clearance so doors do not hit walls or cabinets
• Check depth clearance for handles and for doors to open past 90 degrees
• Measure the path into the kitchen (doorways, hallways, turns)
• Verify water line location if you want ice and water; refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602 is a common replacement item when lines are kinked or brittle

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is “33 inches wide” on paper can still require extra space for hinges, door swing, airflow, and leveling. Planning for those clearances helps avoid poor cooling performance, noisy operation, and installation delays.

Common problems we see on Kenmore Elite refrigerators like model 79572033111 are weak or no cooling, ice maker or water dispenser issues, frost buildup, water leaks, and door sealing problems. Most fixes start with basic maintenance and a few targeted checks before replacing parts; see the 79572033111 manual for model-specific procedures.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coil, condenser fan issue, evaporator fan issue, or a sealed-system/compressor problem.
• Ice maker not making ice: low water supply, clogged filter, failed inlet valve, or ice maker assembly fault.
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged filter, kinked tubing, or inlet valve problem.
• Frost or ice buildup: door not sealing, frequent door openings, or a defrost airflow issue.
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged/iced drain path, cracked drain tube, or water line connection leak.
• Unusual noises (buzzing, clicking, rattling): fan blade hitting ice, loose panels, or compressor/start components.

Quick checks we recommend first (before buying parts)

1. Confirm temperatures: set fresh food to about 37°F and freezer to about 0°F; allow 24 hours to stabilize.
2. Clean airflow areas: keep vents inside the refrigerator and freezer clear of packages.
3. Inspect the door seal: look for gaps, tears, or areas that do not grip a dollar bill.
4. Check water supply: verify the shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
5. Listen for fans: you should typically hear a fan running when the unit is cooling.

Parts that commonly solve these issues on 79572033111

Symptom	Common fix	Example part for this model
Bad taste/slow water flow	Replace water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
No ice or weak fill	Test/replace inlet valve	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601
Door not sealing, frost	Replace gasket	Refrigerator door gasket, right ADX73550624
Ice maker dead	Replace ice maker assembly	Refrigerator ice maker assembly AEQ73110205

Why it matters

Catching airflow, sealing, and water-supply problems early helps prevent food spoilage, reduces frost and leaks, and can protect major components like the compressor from running excessively.

Ice on the freezer floor usually happens when the defrost drain clogs and meltwater cannot flow to the drain pan; it refreezes at the bottom instead. On Kenmore model 79572033111, clearing the drain path and flushing the drain tube typically stops the ice from coming back.

Most common cause

A clogged or partially frozen defrost drain lets water back up during the defrost cycle, then it freezes into a sheet of ice.

What to do first (safe, quick checks)

• Unplug the refrigerator.
• Remove the freezer drawer/bins so you can see the bottom panel and the ice buildup.
• Melt the ice with a hair dryer on low or by placing towels and letting it thaw (avoid overheating plastic).
• Locate the drain opening under the evaporator area and clear any debris.
• Flush the drain with 2 cups hot water + 1 teaspoon baking soda to help dissolve residue.

If the drain tube is split, kinked, or restricted, replacing it can prevent repeat clogs; see refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D.

How to confirm it is the drain (not a door seal)

Symptom	Most likely issue	What you will notice
Ice sheet on freezer floor	Defrost drain clogged	Water/ice starts near the drain trough area
Frost around door edges	Door gasket leak	Frost pattern near the door perimeter
Water under crisper/freezer	Drain not flowing to pan	Puddles after defrost cycles

Why it matters

When meltwater cannot drain, it refreezes and can block airflow, cause temperature swings, and create recurring leaks and ice buildup.
