Kenmore Refrigerator 79572493610 FAQs

For Kenmore refrigerator model 79572493610, the cubic-foot capacity is the manufacturer’s listed storage volume (not a measurement you calculate from outside height, width, and depth). The fastest way to get the exact number for your unit is to check the model’s specifications in the 79572493610 owner's manual.

How to find the exact cubic feet for model 79572493610

Use these reliable places first (they match how Kenmore rates capacity):

  • Look in the specifications section of the 79572493610 owner's manual
  • Check the model/serial tag inside the fresh food compartment; it often lists capacity or a series identifier
  • Search your purchase paperwork or product listing for “cu. ft.
  • If you only have the series (for example, 795), use a model-series reference like Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes to confirm you are in the right family before comparing specs
Why “outside dimensions” do not equal cubic feet

Exterior measurements include insulation thickness, door thickness, and non-storage spaces, so they do not match the rated interior volume.

Common reasons a calculation comes out wrong:

  • Measuring outside cabinet size instead of interior storage space
  • Forgetting to subtract insulation and liner thickness
  • Including door volume that is not part of the rated compartment volume
  • Not accounting for compressor hump, air ducts, and ice maker housing
If you still want a rough estimate (not the rated capacity)

You can estimate interior volume by measuring the usable interior space (in inches) and converting to cubic feet.

What you measure What to do Result type
Usable interior width x height x depth Divide cubic inches by 1,728 Rough interior estimate
Outside cabinet width x height x depth Do not use for capacity Usually overstated
Why it matters

Knowing the correct cubic feet helps you compare refrigerators accurately and choose compatible replacement items such as a refrigerator water filter or air filter.

Most Kenmore refrigerators, including model 79572493610, do not use a single dedicated “reset” button for the whole unit; the standard reset is a power reset (unplugging briefly) to reboot the electronic control. For model-specific reset steps and control panel behavior, use the 79572493610 owner's manual.

Quick reset options that work most often
  • Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator (or switch the breaker off) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
  • Control lock check: If the panel seems unresponsive, turn off Control Lock (if enabled) and try again.
  • Ice maker reset (if ice stops): Confirm the ice maker is turned on, then power reset the refrigerator.
  • Water/ice after filter change: Replace the filter, then dispense water for several minutes to purge air.
  • Give it time: After any reset, allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to fully stabilize.
What a reset can and cannot fix

A reset clears minor control glitches, but it will not correct a failed part.

Symptom Reset likely helps? Common next step
Control panel frozen or lights acting odd Yes Power reset, then check settings in the manual
Not making ice but freezer is cold Sometimes Check water supply; inspect ice maker
Warm fridge and warm freezer Rarely Check condenser airflow; listen for compressor/fans
Water dispenser slow after filter change Yes Purge air; verify filter is seated
Parts that are commonly involved (when a reset is not enough)

If the issue returns quickly after a reset, these model-compatible parts are often involved:

Why it matters

A power reset is the fastest safe first step because it reboots the control board without disassembly. If symptoms repeat, focusing on the specific system (cooling, ice, or water) prevents unnecessary part replacement and gets you to the real failure sooner.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator typically lasts 10 to 15 years. With consistent maintenance (clean condenser coils, keep door gaskets sealing, and replace filters on schedule), many units reach the upper end of that range before major sealed-system repairs become more likely. For model 79572493610, follow the care guidance in the 79572493610 owner's manual.

Typical lifespan and what changes it

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators land in the same lifespan band; the biggest differences come from usage and airflow/cleanliness.

  • 10 to 15 years is the normal expectation for a modern refrigerator
  • Heavy use (large household, frequent door openings) can shorten life
  • Dirty condenser coils raise compressor run time and wear
  • Poor door sealing forces longer run times and can cause frost issues
  • Water system upkeep (filter changes, good water pressure) reduces dispenser and ice maker strain
Maintenance that most improves longevity

These are the highest-impact habits we recommend for Kenmore Elite models like 79572493610:

  • Vacuum/brush condenser coils regularly (more often with pets)
  • Keep doors aligned and gaskets clean; replace torn gaskets when needed
  • Replace the water filter on schedule; use the correct filter for this model
  • Keep vents inside the refrigerator and freezer unblocked
  • Maintain stable temperatures (about 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer)
Parts that commonly affect performance over time

If performance drops, these parts are often involved (depending on symptoms):

Symptom Common area to check Example model-matched part
Slow water flow, bad taste/odor Water filtration Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Odors in fresh food section Air filtration Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
No ice or weak ice production Ice maker system Lg refrigerator ice maker AEQ73110210
Warm temps, long run times Airflow/heat rejection Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73784701
Why it matters

Knowing the typical lifespan helps you decide when maintenance is worth doing now versus planning for a larger repair later. Simple upkeep often prevents temperature swings, ice maker problems, and excessive compressor run time.

Kenmore is a brand name, so replacement parts for Kenmore refrigerator model 79572493610 are typically manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that built that specific refrigerator, then sold under Kenmore-compatible part numbers. For this model, many components are commonly sourced from major OEM suppliers used across the Kenmore lineup; confirm fit by matching your model number and the part ID in the 79572493610 owner's manual.

How to tell who made the part you need

The most reliable way is to identify the exact part by function and then match it to the correct part listing for model 79572493610.

  • Use the model number 79572493610 when searching parts (not just “Kenmore refrigerator”).
  • Match the part ID and description to your symptom (water, ice, cooling, door sealing).
  • Compare the manufacturer part number shown on the part listing to what is printed on your original part (when accessible).
  • If the part is in a sealed system or electrical control area, use the exact listed replacement to avoid compatibility issues.
  • For filters and consumables, replace on schedule to reduce strain on valves, ice maker, and airflow.
Common examples on this model

These examples show how Kenmore-branded models often use OEM-supplied components; the key is ordering the correct part for 79572493610.

What you’re replacing Example part for this model Why it matters
Water filtration Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 Correct fit prevents leaks and maintains water flow
Air filtration Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408 Helps reduce odors and keeps airflow fresher
Ice production Lg refrigerator ice maker AEQ73110210 Restores ice output when the ice maker fails

If your Kenmore refrigerator model 79572493610 ice maker isn’t making ice, the most common causes are a shutoff water supply, a clogged filter, a frozen fill tube, or a failed inlet valve. Start with water flow and temperature checks, then move to the ice maker and valve.

Quick checks (fastest fixes first)
  • Confirm the ice maker is turned ON and the bin is seated correctly.
  • Make sure the freezer is cold enough (target 0°F to 5°F).
  • Verify the household water shutoff is fully open and the supply line isn’t kinked.
  • Replace a restricted water filter or install a bypass to test flow.
  • Look for an ice plug in the fill tube (a common “no ice” cause).
Parts that commonly cause “no ice” on this model

If water isn’t reaching the ice maker mold, these parts are the usual suspects:

Symptom Most likely cause What to do next
No water to ice maker, dispenser may also be weak Clogged filter Replace genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 or test with refrigerator water filter bypass ABN73019101
No water fill at all, humming or no sound Inlet valve not opening Diagnose/replace lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601
Ice maker cycles but never fills Frozen fill tube or low water pressure Thaw fill tube; confirm strong water flow
Ice maker dead (no cycling) Ice maker assembly issue Consider replacing lg refrigerator ice maker AEQ73110210
Step-by-step troubleshooting
  1. Check water flow at the dispenser (if equipped). Weak flow points to a filter restriction or supply issue.
  2. Test the filter: install the bypass briefly to see if ice production returns.
  3. Inspect the fill tube behind/above the ice maker for an ice blockage; thaw with warm air (no open flame).
  4. Listen for a fill at the end of a harvest cycle. No fill often indicates the inlet valve.
  5. Confirm freezer temperature: warmer than 10°F can stop ice production or cause small cubes.
Why it matters

An ice maker needs steady water pressure and proper freezer temperature. Fixing a restricted filter or a failing inlet valve early prevents repeated ice jams, slow ice production, and dispenser performance problems.

For model-specific operating steps and control settings, use the 79572493610 owner’s manual.

Water under your Kenmore refrigerator model 79572493610 is usually caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain, a cracked or overflowing drain pan, or a water supply leak from the filter or inlet valve. Start by checking the drain path inside the fresh food section, then inspect the water connections.

Quick checks (most common causes)
  • Defrost drain clogged/frozen: Water backs up during defrost and runs onto the floor.
  • Drain pan issue: Pan is cracked, shifted, or overflowing from heavy condensation.
  • Water filter not seated: A loose filter can drip and track underneath.
  • Water inlet valve or tubing leak: Slow seep at the valve, fittings, or line.
  • Door not sealing: Excess frost and defrost water can overwhelm the drain.
Step-by-step troubleshooting
  1. Unplug the refrigerator and pull it out enough to inspect safely.
  2. Check inside for a frozen drain: Look for ice or standing water near the bottom rear of the fresh food compartment.
  3. Clear the drain: Flush the drain hole with warm water (a turkey baster works well) until it flows freely.
  4. Inspect the drain pan underneath: Look for cracks, warping, or a pan that is not centered.
  5. Check the water system: Inspect the filter area and the supply line connection for drips.
Parts that commonly cause leaks on this model
Leak location What you’ll notice Likely fix
Filter area Drips after dispensing water Reseat or replace filter; check housing
Rear lower area Slow leak even when not dispensing Inspect/replace inlet valve or tubing
Center/bottom Water after defrost cycles Clear defrost drain; check drain pan

If you suspect a water supply leak, the most common components to inspect are the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 and the lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601.

Why it matters

Leaks can damage flooring and can also lead to ice buildup, poor cooling, and recurring puddles. Fixing the root cause (drain, pan, or water supply) prevents repeat leaks and protects the compressor area.
