Why is my Kenmore refrigerator leaking underneath?
Water leaking underneath a Kenmore 79577312600 bottom-mount refrigerator is usually caused by defrost water not reaching the drain pan, most often from a clogged or frozen defrost drain, or a water supply line connection that seeps. Start by clearing the drain path and checking the water line and drain pan for overflow.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Look for ice or debris blocking the defrost drain opening inside the fresh food section.
- Flush the drain with warm water (a turkey baster works well) to melt and push through clogs.
- Inspect the drain pan underneath for cracks, misalignment, or overflow.
- Check the water supply line and fittings for slow drips (especially if you have an ice maker).
- Confirm the refrigerator is level so water flows to the drain correctly.
Most common causes and what to do
| What you see | Most likely cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Water puddle after defrost cycles | Clogged or frozen defrost drain | Clear the drain; melt ice; flush with warm water |
| Water near the back/bottom by the wall | Water line seep or loose fitting | Tighten fittings; inspect tubing for pinholes |
| Water only in humid weather or heavy use | Drain pan overflow or shifted pan | Re-seat pan; clean pan; verify airflow around unit |
Model-specific parts that can help
If the leak is tied to the defrost drain path, the drain tube is a common fix on this model: refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D.
For water supply leaks, inspect the tubing for kinks, cracks, or rubbing: refrigerator water tubing 5210JA3005W.
Why it matters
Leaks under the refrigerator can lead to floor damage and can also point to airflow or defrost drainage issues that may cause ice buildup and poor cooling over time.

What size is Kenmore refrigerator model 79577312600?
Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79577312600 is in the Kenmore 795 bottom-freezer family; these refrigerators are typically in the 33-inch width class and stand roughly 67 to 70 inches tall. For the exact exterior dimensions and required clearances, use the 79577312600 owner's manual.
Typical exterior size ranges for this style
Use these ranges to plan doorway moves and cabinet fit; then confirm the exact numbers in the manual.
- Width: 32 to 33 inches (cabinet width, not including extra trim)
- Height: 67 to 70 inches (varies with leveling legs and hinge cover)
- Depth: 30 to 34 inches (depth increases when handles are included)
- Clearance: allow space behind and above for airflow, plus hinge-side swing room
| Measurement | Typical range | What changes it most |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 32 to 33 in. | hinge/trim protrusion |
| Height | 67 to 70 in. | leveling legs, hinge cover |
| Depth | 30 to 34 in. | handles, door thickness |
How we recommend measuring (so your numbers match the manual)
- Measure width at the widest point (include hinges if they stick out)
- Measure height from floor to the highest point (often the hinge cover)
- Measure depth two ways: cabinet only, and with handles
- Check the door swing path so doors and freezer drawer clear nearby walls
Why it matters
Correct sizing prevents installation issues like doors hitting cabinets, restricted airflow that hurts cooling performance, and freezer drawer bind-up. It also helps you plan for moving the refrigerator through doorways and tight hallways.
