What size is Kenmore refrigerator model 79577302600?
Kenmore bottom-freezer refrigerator model 79577302600 is a full-size bottom-mount design; most refrigerators in this class are about 33 inches wide, 30 to 34 inches deep, and 67 to 70 inches tall. For the exact cabinet and door-swing dimensions for your unit, use the 79577302600 owner's manual.
How to confirm the exact dimensions for your kitchen
We recommend measuring your opening and comparing it to the refrigerator dimensions listed in the manual.
- Measure the width of the cabinet opening at the front and back.
- Measure height to the lowest overhead cabinet or trim.
- Measure depth from the wall to the front edge of counters.
- Add clearance for door swing and drawer pull-out.
- Plan space behind the unit for air circulation and the water line (if equipped).
Typical size ranges (what most owners see)
These are common ranges for Kenmore 795-series bottom-freezer refrigerators; use them for planning until you confirm the exact specs in the manual.
| Measurement | Typical range | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 32 to 34 in. | Fit between cabinets and trim |
| Height | 67 to 70 in. | Clearance under upper cabinets |
| Depth | 30 to 34 in. | Counter alignment and walkway space |
| Capacity | 20 to 24 cu. ft. | Storage planning for household size |
Why it matters
Correct sizing prevents installation headaches like doors that cannot open fully, freezer drawers that hit an island, or poor airflow that can cause warm temperatures and longer run times.

How to lower wheels on Kenmore refrigerator?
On Kenmore refrigerator model 79577302600, you lower the front by turning the front leveling screws counterclockwise; they adjust the front height (and effectively the front rollers), and the screws do not back out. For exact locations and access, use the 79577302600 owner's manual.
Steps to lower the front (and make it easier to roll)
- Unplug the refrigerator, then remove food from door bins if needed to reduce weight.
- Pull the unit forward slightly so you can reach the front leveling screws behind the base cover (toe grille).
- Tip the cabinet back slightly (or have someone push gently on the top) to take weight off the screws.
- Turn the right and left leveling screws counterclockwise to lower the front.
- Turn both sides the same amount, then recheck door closing and stability.
- Reinstall the base cover when finished.
Quick direction guide
| What you want to do | Which way to turn the leveling screw | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Lower the front | Counterclockwise | Front drops, doors may close more firmly |
| Raise the front | Clockwise | Front lifts, helps prevent doors from swinging open |
Why it matters
Proper leveling reduces vibration, helps the fresh food doors close consistently, and prevents the refrigerator from rocking. For this model, the front should sit slightly higher than the rear so the doors self-close more easily.
If the refrigerator still will not roll easily
- Confirm the leveling screws are not still contacting the floor.
- Check for floor interference at the base cover.
- Inspect the door area for drag; a worn hinge bushing can make the door feel heavy and affect alignment.
- If the interior light stays on with the door closed, test the lg refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A.

What is the bottom compartment of a fridge called?
On Kenmore refrigerator model 79577302600, the “bottom compartment” usually refers to the freezer compartment (the lower storage section). If you mean the area behind the lower front grille where the cooling system sits, that’s commonly called the machine compartment.
Common “bottom” areas and what they do
- Freezer compartment: stores frozen food; cold air circulates between freezer and fresh food sections.
- Freezer drawer system (often called a Durabase and baskets): holds and organizes frozen items.
- Base grille / base cover area: the lower front trim you remove for leveling and service access.
- Machine compartment: houses major cooling components like the compressor and condenser area.
Quick identification guide
| What you see at the bottom | What it’s typically called | What it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| Pull-out drawer with baskets | Freezer compartment / freezer drawer | Frozen food storage |
| Lower front panel/grille | Base grille / base cover | Access for leveling and service |
| Mechanical parts area (compressor, fan, coils) | Machine compartment | Runs the refrigeration system |
Why the name matters when ordering parts
Using the right term helps us match the correct Kenmore parts for 79577302600, especially when symptoms point to a specific area.
- Door not sensing closed or interior light issues: check the door switch such as lg refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A.
- Door not closing smoothly or sagging: hinge hardware like refrigerator door hinge bushing 4984JJ3003A can be involved.
- Water pooling near the bottom: a clogged drain system may involve the refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D.
