Kenmore 79573105710 refrigerator Parts

Common problems we see on Kenmore Elite refrigerators like model 79573105710 are cooling issues (including Demo Mode being on), warm temperatures from blocked airflow or frequent door openings, ice maker slow production, and water dispensing problems caused by an exhausted filter. Use the 79573105710 owner’s manual troubleshooting section to match symptoms to fixes.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling at all: controls set to OFF, unit in Demo Mode, or the refrigerator is in a normal defrost cycle (wait about 30 minutes and recheck temps).
• Too warm: recent installation (allow up to 24 hours), blocked air vents, doors opened often, or room temperature too hot.
• Food freezing in fresh food section: items placed near an air vent, temperature set too cold, or the refrigerator operated in a space below the recommended ambient range.
• Ice maker not making enough ice: freezer temperature too warm (typical target is 0°F for normal ice production) or doors not closing fully.
• Water dispensing slowly: water filter is exhausted; replace the Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9980 AGF80300805.

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm the refrigerator is not in Demo Mode and controls are set correctly.
2. Make sure air vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Reduce long or frequent door openings; verify doors close completely.
4. Verify the refrigerator is installed where ambient temperature stays roughly 55°F to 110°F.
5. If ice or water issues persist, inspect the water supply and consider testing the inlet valve.

When a part is commonly involved

Symptom	Common part area	Example part for this model
Slow water dispensing	Filtration	Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9980 (AGF80300805)
Ice maker not producing	Ice maker assembly	Refrigerator ice maker assembly (AEQ73110210)
No water to dispenser/ice maker	Water inlet valve	LG refrigerator water inlet valve (AJU72992601)

Why it matters

Catching airflow, temperature-setting, and door-seal problems early helps prevent food spoilage, excess frost, and unnecessary strain on major components like the compressor.

Water under a Kenmore 79573105710 bottom-mount refrigerator is usually caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain, a cracked or overflowing drain pan, or a leaking water supply connection to the ice maker or dispenser. We focus on the drain system and water line connections first because they create the most common “leak underneath” symptoms.

Quick checks that solve most leaks

• Look for ice or standing water on the freezer floor; that often points to a blocked defrost drain.
• Inspect the drain pan underneath for cracks, misalignment, or overflow.
• Check the water line and fittings at the back for slow drips.
• If the leak happens only when dispensing water or making ice, suspect the inlet valve or tubing.
• If the leak appears after moving the refrigerator, recheck leveling and water connections.

Step-by-step: clear a clogged defrost drain

1. Unplug the refrigerator.
2. Remove the freezer drawer/bins as needed to access the drain area.
3. Melt any ice around the drain opening using warm water (not boiling).
4. Flush the drain with warm water until it flows freely to the drain pan.
5. Clean debris from the drain pan and reinstall everything.

For model-specific access points and panel removal details, use the 79573105710 owner’s manual.

Water line leaks (ice maker and dispenser)

The manual emphasizes checking for leaks at water line connections after turning the water on. If you see drips at the back connection or under the cabinet, inspect the compression nut, ferrule (sleeve), and tubing routing.

Symptom	Most likely area	What to do next
Leak only during ice/water use	Water inlet valve or tubing	Inspect fittings; test valve for seepage
Constant slow puddle	Water line connection	Tighten connection; replace damaged ferrule
Water under freezer after defrost	Defrost drain	Clear drain and flush

If the valve body is seeping or not shutting fully, replacement is often the fix; see lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601.

Why it matters

Leaks underneath can lead to floor damage and can also cause ice buildup inside the freezer, which reduces airflow and cooling performance.

On Kenmore refrigerator model 79573105710, the bottom area is commonly called the machine compartment (or compressor compartment). It houses the cooling-system components and airflow passages that help the refrigerator remove heat and keep both the fresh food and freezer sections cold.

What you will typically find in the bottom area

In most bottom-mount refrigerators like the Kenmore 79573105710, the lower rear or lower front area contains:

• Compressor (the pump that circulates refrigerant)
• Condenser coils (release heat from the refrigerant)
• Condenser fan (moves air across the coils on many models)
• Drain pan (catches defrost water so it can evaporate)
• Access cover or grille (protects components and directs airflow)

For a labeled overview of your refrigerator’s features and component locations, use the 79573105710 owner’s manual.

Why this matters for cleaning and troubleshooting

Knowing the name of the bottom section helps when you are looking up maintenance steps or diagnosing symptoms like warm temperatures, loud running noise, or poor airflow.

The manual also notes that condenser-coil area cleaning is done through the cover and vents; we recommend vacuuming with a brush attachment and keeping vents clear (do not remove panels unless the procedure specifically calls for it). See the 79573105710 owner’s manual for the cleaning guidance.

Quick terminology guide

What you call it	What it usually means	Where it is
Machine compartment	Area containing compressor and condenser-side parts	Bottom rear or bottom front
Base grille / toe grille	Vent cover at the bottom front (on some designs)	Bottom front
Drain pan	Pan that collects defrost water	Under or near the machine compartment

Related parts customers often ask about

For Kenmore model 79573105710, the most reliable way to identify the correct refrigerator water filter is to match the filter to your exact model number and then confirm the replacement and flushing steps in the 79573105710 owner's manual. On this model page, the listed compatible filter is Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9980 AGF80300805.

Quick ways to confirm you have the right filter

• Match the refrigerator model number exactly: 79573105710.
• Use the model match to select the correct filter type and fit.
• Replace the filter about every 6 months, or sooner if flow drops.
• After replacing, flush the system with 2.5 gallons of water (about 5 minutes) using 30 seconds on, 60 seconds off cycles.
• If ice gets smaller or water output slows, treat that as a filter change signal.

Water supply specs that affect filter performance

Your filter choice and performance depend on having proper water pressure and temperature. Here are the key ranges called out for this refrigerator:

Item	Typical requirement for this model	What you may notice if it’s off
Water pressure (with filter)	40 to 120 psi	Slow dispensing, small ice cubes
Water pressure (without filter)	20 to 120 psi	Weak fill to icemaker/dispenser
Water temperature	33°F to 100°F	Poor taste, low flow, leaks

If you still are not sure which filter to buy

Use this checklist to avoid ordering the wrong part:

• Confirm the model tag reads 79573105710 (not a similar 795 prefix model).
• If your dispenser flow is reduced, replace the filter first before troubleshooting valves or tubing.
• If you recently replaced the filter and water sputters, keep flushing; trapped air is normal after a change.
• If you use reverse osmosis, low pressure can reduce water and ice output even with a new filter.

Why it matters

The correct water filter protects taste and odor, helps maintain normal dispenser flow, and supports consistent icemaker production. A mismatched or overdue filter often looks like a dispenser problem or low water pressure when the fix is simply the right filter and a proper flush.
