Kenmore Elite 79574109810 bottom-mount refrigerator Parts

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite 79574109810 bottom-mount refrigerator include no cooling or warm temperatures, ice maker not producing ice, and water leaks or condensation. These issues are often tied to airflow restrictions, fan or sensor problems, drain clogs, or sealed-system cooling components; our owner's manual troubleshooting guide helps narrow the cause.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Refrigerator or freezer not cooling: control set to OFF, demo mode enabled, unit in defrost cycle, or a cooling-system failure
• Too warm: blocked air vents, frequent door openings, hot room conditions (above 110°F), or recently installed unit (can take up to 24 hours to stabilize)
• Ice maker not making ice: ice maker power switch OFF, new install delay (can take hours), or water supply issues
• Water leaking: clogged or frozen drain path, or a drain tube issue such as the refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D
• Noisy operation: fan motor wear, ice buildup contacting the fan, or condenser area vibration

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm the controls are ON and the refrigerator is not in demo mode (see owner's manual).
2. Wait 30 minutes if you suspect a defrost cycle; temperatures can rise slightly during defrost.
3. Make sure air vents are not blocked by food packages.
4. Verify the room temperature is within the operating range (55°F to 110°F).
5. If you have an ice maker, confirm the power switch is set to On (I).

For Kenmore Elite model 79574109810, the most accurate way to get cubic feet (total capacity) is to look up the specifications in the owner's manual. If you need a quick estimate, you can also calculate capacity from the interior dimensions, but the manual spec is the number to trust.

Fast ways to find your refrigerator’s cubic feet

• Check the specs section in the owner's manual for total capacity and compartment breakdown.
• Look for the model/serial label on the interior liner of the refrigerator compartment (the manual notes this is where the identification label is located).
• Estimate by measurement if you cannot access the spec page right away.
• Use the full model number (79574109810) when searching parts and documentation so you do not mix similar Kenmore 795-series models.

How to estimate cubic feet by measuring (quick calculation)

If you want an estimate, measure the usable interior space (not the outside cabinet):

• Measure width x height x depth (in inches) of the main refrigerator compartment.
• Do the same for the freezer compartment.
• Add the two volumes together.

What you measure	Formula	Convert to cubic feet
Refrigerator compartment	W x H x D (in³)	divide by 1,728
Freezer compartment	W x H x D (in³)	divide by 1,728
Total capacity (estimate)	fridge ft³ + freezer ft³	result in ft³

Why it matters

Capacity affects how you shop for storage accessories (bins, drawers, shelves) and helps when comparing performance issues like warm temperatures or airflow problems. For example, if cooling is inconsistent, parts tied to airflow and temperature sensing (like the refrigerator evaporator fan motor EAU63923603 or refrigerator temperature sensor 6500JB2002X) are common checkpoints.

Parts and documentation tips for model 79574109810

• Match parts by model number first, then confirm by part diagram and description.
• Keep your model and serial number recorded for future reference (the manual recommends saving this information).
• Order replacement parts from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79574109810, the model and serial number are printed on an identification label located on the interior liner of the refrigerator compartment. We use that label information to match the correct parts list, diagrams, and troubleshooting steps for your exact unit.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the fresh food (refrigerator) door and look along the inside walls (interior liner).
• Check near the crisper drawer area; many labels are placed low on the liner.
• Look on the side wall rather than the back wall; labels are often easier to see there.
• Use a flashlight and wipe condensation; labels can be hard to read if the liner is wet.
• Write down both the model number and serial number exactly as shown.

What the label looks like and what to record

The identification label typically includes the model number, serial number, and sometimes electrical ratings. The manual also recommends recording these details for your records.

Item on label	Why we need it	Example (yours will vary)
Model number	Ensures correct parts and diagrams	79574109810
Serial number	Helps confirm production details	Letters and numbers
Date of purchase (not on label)	Useful for your records	From receipt

Why it matters

Kenmore Elite refrigerators often share similar styling across multiple models, but parts like the water filter, evaporator fan motor, or electronic control board can differ by model. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong component.

Helpful next steps once you find it

• Use the model number to confirm the correct replacement part before ordering.
• For common maintenance, match parts by model, such as the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9980 AGF80300805.
• Keep the model and serial number with your paperwork; the owner's manual includes a product record section for this.
• If you are shopping beyond the parts list for this model, search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

A bottom leak on your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79574109810 is usually caused by defrost water not draining correctly (then overflowing and running to the floor), or by a water supply/dispenser leak. Start by checking the defrost drain area and the water line connections, then confirm the doors seal and close fully per the owner's manual.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Look for ice or water under the freezer drawer; this strongly points to a defrost drain issue.
• Check the water filter area and tubing for drips after dispensing water or making ice.
• Inspect the door gaskets for dirt or stickiness that can prevent a full seal.
• Verify the refrigerator is level so doors close completely and water flows to the drain.
• Check the drain pan (near the compressor area) for cracks or being out of position.

Most common causes (and what to do)

What you see	Most likely cause	What to do next
Water pooling inside freezer, then leaking out	Clogged or frozen defrost drain	Clear ice buildup; flush the drain with hot water and confirm it flows to the drain pan
Leak happens after using dispenser/ice maker	Water line or filter housing leak	Reseat the filter, inspect tubing for cracks, and check fittings for tightness
Slow leak, worse in humid weather	Door not sealing or not closing fully	Clean gaskets; confirm leveling and door alignment
Water only at the very bottom/back	Drain pan shifted or damaged	Reposition pan; inspect for damage

Parts that commonly relate to bottom leaks

If you find the drain path is damaged or not routing water correctly, the refrigerator drain tube is a common fix on this model. We list it as the refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D.

Why it matters

A small leak can turn into ice buildup, floor damage, and cooling problems if defrost water keeps backing up. Fixing the drain and sealing issues early also helps the refrigerator maintain stable temperatures.

Safety and service notes

• Unplug the refrigerator before removing panels or working near wiring.
• If you see water near electrical components (control board area, fan wiring), stop and dry the area before troubleshooting further.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator typically lasts 10 to 15 years. For your Kenmore Elite bottom-mount refrigerator model 79574109810, lifespan depends most on compressor run time, airflow (clean coils), door seal condition, and keeping temperatures stable; good maintenance helps it reach the upper end of that range.

Typical lifespan and what affects it most

Most modern bottom-mount refrigerators land in the same general window, but these factors move the needle:

• Condenser cleanliness: dust buildup makes the cooling system run longer and hotter
• Door sealing and door alignment: warm air leaks increase run time and frost
• Fan performance: weak airflow causes warm spots and longer compressor cycles
• Defrost performance: heavy frost reduces cooling efficiency
• Water and ice system upkeep: clogged filters can reduce water flow and strain the system

For model-specific operating and care guidance, use the 79574109810 owner's manual.

Maintenance checklist that extends life

We recommend these practical habits for Kenmore Elite refrigerators:

• Vacuum and brush the condenser area regularly (frequency depends on pets and dust)
• Keep vents inside the refrigerator and freezer unblocked
• Confirm doors close on their own and gaskets seal all the way around
• Replace the water filter on schedule; use the correct filter such as genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9980 AGF80300805
• After moving the refrigerator, let it stand upright before powering it on (the manual calls out this requirement)

Parts that commonly matter as the unit ages

If cooling performance drops, these parts are often involved:

Symptom	Common system to check	Example part for this model
Warm refrigerator or freezer	Airflow in freezer section	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor EAU63923603
Runs a lot, poor cooling	Sealed system and start components	Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D
Water under crisper or freezer	Defrost drain path	Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D

You can order replacement parts from the parts list for model 79574109810, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

Why it matters

A refrigerator near the end of its expected lifespan often shows early warning signs (long run times, temperature swings, frost buildup). Catching airflow, drain, and filter issues early reduces stress on the compressor and helps prevent bigger failures.
