Kenmore 79570323312 refrigerator Parts

To tell what model Kenmore refrigerator you have, look for the model and serial number tag on the cabinet walls or door area. On Kenmore model 79570323312, the tag is typically inside the fresh food section or freezer, sometimes behind drawers or near the lower front kickplate; confirm the exact location in the 79570323312 owner's manual.

Where to look for the model number tag

Check these common spots first (use a flashlight and look for a sticker or metal plate):

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall
• Inside the refrigerator compartment near or behind the crisper drawers
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall
• On the door frame when you open the refrigerator door
• Behind or just above the lower front kickplate (toe grille)

What to write down (so you get the right parts)

We recommend recording these exactly as shown on the tag:

• Model number (example: 79570323312)
• Serial number
• Revision or suffix (if listed)

Quick ID guide

What you see	What it means	Why it matters
Model number	Identifies the exact refrigerator design	Ensures parts like a control board or gasket match
Serial number	Identifies the production run	Helps confirm compatible updates
Suffix/revision	Identifies a variation within the model	Prevents ordering a similar but incorrect part

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators often share similar styling across multiple model families, but parts can differ by model and revision. Using the exact model number helps match components like the refrigerator door gasket, right ADX73550624 or the lg refrigerator ice maker AEQ73110210 to your unit.

For Kenmore refrigerator model 79570323312, the exact cubic-foot capacity is listed on the model’s rating label and in the 79570323312 owner's manual. Most Kenmore 795-prefix bottom-mount refrigerators fall in the about 20 to 22 cu. ft. range, but we use the label or manual to confirm the exact number for your unit.

Where to find the exact capacity on your refrigerator

Check these common locations for the rating label (it typically lists capacity in cu. ft. or liters):

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the lights
• Behind the crisper drawers on the liner wall
• Along the door frame area (hinge side)
• On the back exterior panel (less common)

Quick capacity check (what the numbers usually mean)

The 795 at the start of the model number is a Kenmore source prefix (commonly associated with LG-built designs); it is not the capacity.

What you see	What it tells you	What to do next
Model starts with 795	Manufacturer/source prefix	Use the rating label or manual for cu. ft.
“Bottom-mount” style	Freezer drawer on bottom	Expect mid to large capacity range
Capacity shown in liters	Metric rating	Convert to cu. ft. (liters ÷ 28.3)

Why it matters

Knowing the exact cubic feet helps us match the right parts and maintenance items for your Kenmore refrigerator, such as the correct water filter size and replacement schedule (for example, the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 used on many 795-series units).

Helpful tip for water and ice performance

If you are checking capacity because storage feels tight or airflow seems weak, confirm your temperature settings and avoid blocking vents. For filter-related flow issues, follow the steps in how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator.

On a Kenmore refrigerator like model 79570323312, a bad compressor shows up as poor cooling with the compressor running often (or trying to start and failing), unusual clicking or buzzing near the back, and warm cabinet temperatures even when settings are correct. Confirm the basics first using the 79570323312 owner's manual.

Quick signs the compressor is failing

• Refrigerator and freezer temperatures keep rising even after 24 hours of normal operation
• You hear repeated clicking every few minutes (start attempt, then shutoff)
• The compressor area is very hot and the unit runs almost constantly
• The breaker trips or the unit shuts off shortly after trying to start
• You hear loud buzzing or rattling from the compressor compartment

Rule out common look-alikes first

Many “bad compressor” symptoms are actually airflow, defrost, or control issues. Check these before replacing major parts:

• Condenser coils: dirty coils reduce cooling and increase run time
• Condenser fan: if it is not running, the compressor can overheat
• Evaporator fan: if it is not running, the fresh food section warms up
• Door gaskets: air leaks cause long run times and weak cooling
• Control settings: confirm temperature settings and that the unit is not in a special mode

Symptom-to-likely-cause guide

What you notice	More likely cause	Compressor more likely when
Runs constantly, barely cools	Dirty coils, airflow problem	Coils are clean, fans run, still no cooling
Clicks every 2 to 10 minutes	Start device issue	Start device tests good, still will not start
Freezer cold, fridge warm	Evaporator fan or airflow blockage	Both sections warm and sealed system sounds abnormal
Very hot back, weak cooling	Condenser fan or restricted airflow	Fan runs, airflow is good, still overheats

Parts that commonly relate to compressor symptoms

If the compressor is not starting or is short-cycling, these parts are often involved in diagnosis or repair:

• Refrigerator compressor start relay EBG60663230 (start device that helps the compressor start)
• Refrigerator electronic control board EBR74796440 (can affect compressor run commands)
• Refrigerator condenser fan motor assembly EAU61723501 (keeps the compressor area cool)

Why it matters

A failing compressor can lead to food spoilage and can also overheat and stress other components. Verifying airflow, fans, and start components first helps avoid replacing a compressor when the real issue is a simpler part.

Common Kenmore Elite refrigerator problems include warm temperatures from poor airflow or dirty condenser coils, ice maker and dispenser issues, water leaks, and door sealing problems. On Kenmore model 79570323312, we start troubleshooting with basic airflow, cleaning, and a few high-failure parts listed in the 79570323312 owner's manual.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coil, failed condenser fan, failed evaporator fan, or compressor/start components
• Freezer cold but fridge warm: blocked vents, frost buildup from a defrost problem, weak evaporator fan
• Ice maker not making ice: low water flow, frozen fill tube, bad inlet valve, or failed ice maker
• Water dispenser slow or no water: clogged water filter, low supply pressure, inlet valve issue
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged/iced drain system, cracked drain tube, door left ajar
• Doors not sealing: torn gasket, warped gasket, door alignment issues

Parts that commonly fix these problems on model 79570323312

If symptoms point to a specific failure, these model-matched parts are common solutions:

Symptom	Common fix	Example model-matched part
Slow water, bad taste/odor	Replace water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
No ice or small cubes	Restore water flow	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

• Set temps to typical targets: 37°F fresh food, 0°F freezer
• Make sure vents inside the refrigerator are not blocked by food packages
• Clean dust from the condenser area (improves cooling efficiency)
• Confirm the water shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked
• Reseat the water filter and flush several glasses of water after replacement
• Inspect door gaskets for gaps, tears, or areas that do not grip the cabinet

Why it matters

Most “Kenmore Elite not cooling” and “ice maker not working” complaints come down to airflow, heat removal, or water flow. Fixing those basics first prevents unnecessary part swaps and helps protect the compressor from running hot.

Most Kenmore refrigerators, including the Kenmore 79570323312 bottom-mount style, last 12 to 15 years on average. With steady maintenance (airflow, clean seals, and clean condenser coils), it’s common to reach the upper end of that range before major cooling-system repairs become more likely; see the 79570323312 owner's manual for model-specific care guidance.

Typical lifespan ranges (what we see most often)

Appliance type	Typical lifespan	What usually ends it first
Bottom-mount refrigerator (Kenmore)	12 to 15 years	Compressor or sealed-system issues
Ice maker and dispenser components	5 to 10 years	Wear, mineral buildup, freezing
Door gaskets	5 to 10 years	Tearing, warping, loss of magnetism

Maintenance that adds years (and prevents expensive failures)

• Vacuum dust from the condenser area regularly so the compressor runs cooler.
• Keep door gaskets clean and fully sealing; warm air leaks shorten compressor life.
• Replace the water filter on schedule to protect the water valve and ice maker.
• Level the refrigerator so doors self-close and seals stay tight.
• Keep vents inside the fresh food and freezer sections unblocked.

Quick “repair or replace” checkpoints

Use these practical checkpoints when your Kenmore 79570323312 starts acting up:

• Worth repairing: cooling is mostly normal, but you have a leak, weak ice production, or a worn seal.
• Plan for replacement: repeated warm-temperature events, loud compressor cycling, or multiple major parts failing close together.
• Fix now to protect lifespan: a poor door seal or restricted airflow, because both force longer run times.

Common parts tied to longevity on this model

Symptom	Part that often relates	Example part for this model
Warm temps, long run times	Door gasket not sealing	Refrigerator door gasket, right ADX73550624
No ice or slow ice	Ice maker issue	Lg refrigerator ice maker AEQ73110210
Weak water flow, no ice fill	Water supply control problem	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601

Why it matters

A refrigerator’s lifespan is mostly about run time and heat. Clean airflow paths and tight door seals reduce how hard the compressor works, which is the single biggest factor in how long the refrigerator stays reliable.

Kenmore is a brand name, so replacement parts for your Kenmore refrigerator model 79570323312 are typically manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that built the refrigerator and its components. The most reliable way to match the correct maker and exact fit is to use the model’s parts list and diagrams in the 79570323312 owner's manual.

What this means when you shop for parts

Kenmore parts are commonly sourced from major OEMs that build appliances and components for Kenmore-branded products. For a bottom-mount refrigerator like 79570323312, you will often see OEM component branding on the part itself (or its packaging), even though the refrigerator badge says Kenmore.

• Match parts by model number 79570323312 first, not by brand name alone
• Use the part ID and manufacturer part number to confirm compatibility
• Expect some parts to be labeled with an OEM name (for example, LG) even on Kenmore models
• Replace “system” parts (ice maker, water valve, control board) with exact matches to avoid fit and wiring issues
• Keep your old part until the repair is complete so you can compare connectors and mounting points

Examples of OEM-style parts you might see for this model

These are common refrigerator components where the OEM source is often visible in listings and on packaging.

Ice on the bottom of the freezer in your Kenmore 79570323312 almost always happens when defrost water cannot drain away; it pools under the evaporator area, then refreezes into a sheet of ice. Clearing the defrost drain and checking the drain tube typically fixes it.

Most common causes

• Defrost drain clogged with ice, food debris, or sludge
• Drain tube restricted or out of position (water misses the drain pan)
• Door left ajar or gasket leak causing excess frost and heavy defrost runoff
• Freezer overpacked, blocking airflow and increasing frost
• Unit not level, so water runs forward instead of into the drain

What to do first (safe, practical steps)

1. Unplug the refrigerator.
2. Remove the freezer drawer/bins and melt the ice sheet with a hair dryer on low or by placing towels and letting it thaw.
3. Locate the drain opening under the evaporator cover area and flush it with hot water using a turkey baster.
4. Confirm water flows freely to the drain pan underneath.
5. Clean and reseat the drain path components; replace the drain tube if it is split or deformed.

If you need diagrams and access steps for your exact layout, use the 79570323312 owner's manual.

Parts that commonly solve “ice on freezer floor”

If flushing helps only temporarily, a restricted or damaged drain component is usually next.

Symptom	What it points to	What we check/replace
Ice returns in 1 to 3 days	Drain still restricted	Drain opening and drain tube routing
Water leaks during defrost	Drain tube not seated	Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D
Frost buildup plus ice sheet	Air leak at door	Door gasket sealing and door alignment

Why it matters

When defrost water refreezes, it can block airflow, warm the freezer, and cause water to spill out the door during thaw cycles. Fixing the drain path restores normal defrost operation and helps protect the evaporator fan and control system.

When your Kenmore refrigerator model 79570323312 is warm at the bottom, the most common cause is restricted airflow: cold air is made in the freezer and must move through vents and return passages to cool the fresh food section evenly. Clearing obstructions and restoring airflow usually fixes it.

Quick checks that solve most “warm bottom” complaints

• Make sure interior air vents are not blocked by food containers or bags.
• Leave space between items so air can circulate (especially along the back wall).
• Confirm the freezer is cold; if the freezer is also warm, focus on the cooling system.
• Check that doors close fully and seals are making contact all the way around.
• Set temperatures to typical targets: 0°F freezer and 37°F fresh food.

What to inspect next (in order)

If airflow is clear but the bottom stays warm, these are the most likely culprits:

Symptom you notice	Likely cause	What to do next
Frost buildup on freezer back panel	Defrost airflow restriction	Defrost the unit and check for recurring frost patterns
Fridge top is cooler than bottom	Poor circulation	Verify vents are open and avoid overpacking
Freezer is cold but fridge is warm	Fan or damper airflow issue	Listen for fan operation; check for blocked returns
Temps swing up and down	Control or sensor issue	Review diagnostics and error indicators

Parts that commonly relate to poor cooling or airflow

We match parts to symptoms after the basic checks above:

• If you suspect a fan is not moving air, the evaporator fan motor is a common fix: refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C.
• If cooling is weak overall and the compressor struggles to start, the start device can be involved: refrigerator compressor start relay EBG60663230.

Why it matters

Bottom-warm conditions usually mean cold air is not reaching the lower fresh food area. That leads to unsafe food temperatures, excess run time, and frost or moisture problems that can turn into bigger cooling failures.

Helpful model-specific references

• Use the 79570323312 owner's manual to confirm vent locations, temperature settings, and any model-specific airflow guidance.
• If you see an error code, use Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes to narrow the problem to a fan, sensor, or control issue.
