Kenmore 59679463410 refrigerator Parts

Yes. On your Kenmore 59679463410 bottom-mount refrigerator, the shelves are designed to be removable and adjustable, so replacing a broken glass shelf or shelf frame is a straightforward DIY job as long as you match the replacement to your exact shelf style and dimensions (see the owner's manual).

How to remove and reinstall a shelf (model-specific)

Follow the shelf steps used for this model:

• Tilt the shelf or shelf frame up at the front.
• Lift it out of the shelf supports.
• To reinstall, guide the rear shelf hooks into the shelf supports.
• Tilt the front up until the rear hooks drop into place.
• Confirm the shelf sits level and does not rock.

Glass shelf safety (important)

Tempered glass shelves are heavy and can break if handled the wrong way.

• Use both hands when removing or installing glass.
• Do not wash cold glass with warm water (sudden temperature change can shatter it).
• Avoid bumping the glass edge on the liner or shelf supports.
• Set the shelf on a flat, padded surface while you work.

What to order (common shelf-related replacements)

We recommend replacing shelves with model-matched parts whenever possible.

What’s damaged	What you typically replace	Notes
Glass insert only	Glass shelf insert	Must match width, depth, and edge profile.
Frame or trim	Shelf frame/trim	Often replaced with the glass as an assembly.
Whole shelf assembly	Shelf and frame	Best option when multiple pieces are cracked or missing.
Pantry/crisper cover glass	Cover glass insert	Removal differs from standard shelves (see manual).

If you need a full shelf assembly, check the parts list for your model; for example, a shelf part may be listed as a refrigerator glass shelf W11033333 depending on location and configuration.

Why it matters

A properly fitting shelf keeps food stable, prevents rattles, and helps the refrigerator maintain airflow. Poor fit can lead to items shifting, spills, and longer door-open time (which wastes energy).

If your Kenmore refrigerator model 59679463410 is warm, runs almost constantly, or repeatedly clicks while trying to start, the compressor can be failing. We first rule out airflow, door-seal leaks, and control issues because they create the same “no-cool” symptoms.

Quick signs that point to a bad compressor

• Fridge and freezer temperatures rise while the unit “runs”
• Repeated click, hum, then shutoff (start attempt fails)
• Compressor is very hot but there is little or no cooling
• Breaker trips when the compressor tries to start
• New loud mechanical noises (grinding or knocking)

Rule out common look-alikes first

Your 59679463410 may run longer in a warm room, after adding groceries, or when doors are opened often; that is normal for high-efficiency compressors.

• Confirm controls are on and set correctly
• Allow 24 hours after installation or major setting changes
• Check door sealing; gaps cause long run times and poor cooling
• Listen for normal sounds like hissing, sizzling, or water running

Use the 59679463410 owner's manual for model-specific troubleshooting steps and normal sound descriptions.

What to check before replacing major parts

Disconnect power before accessing internal components.

• Verify the evaporator fan runs and airflow is strong
• Check for heavy frost buildup (defrost or airflow problem)
• Confirm the condenser fan runs (if equipped)
• Look for inconsistent operation that points to controls

Parts often involved in “no cool” complaints

Symptom	Often involved	Example part for this model
Warm temps, weak airflow	Evaporator fan motor	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WPW10128551
Intermittent cooling or odd behavior	Electronic control board	Refrigerator electronic control board WPW10503278
Long run time from air leak	Door gasket	Refrigerator door gasket W10830189
Sealed-system failure	Compressor	Refrigerator compressor W10233960

Why it matters

A compressor replacement is a major repair; checking fans, frost patterns, and door sealing first prevents unnecessary sealed-system work and gets cooling restored faster.

To identify your Kenmore refrigerator model, we look for the model and serial tag on the cabinet walls or behind lower panels. On Kenmore model 59679463410, the tag is typically inside the fresh food section or freezer, often near the crisper area or behind the base grille; confirm the exact location in the 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 behind or near the lower crisper drawers
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall
• Behind the base grille (kick plate) at the bottom front
• On the cabinet frame just inside the door opening

What the label looks like and what to copy

The tag usually lists both a model number and a serial number.

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (letters and numbers)
• Write down the serial number too (helps match production series and parts)
• Take a clear photo of the tag for reference when ordering parts

Quick checklist: model number vs. serial number

Item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Identifies the exact refrigerator design for parts lookup	59679463410
Serial number	Identifies the specific unit built	Mix of letters and numbers

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators can look similar across multiple series, but parts like a door gasket, electronic control board, or water inlet valve can vary by model. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct replacement parts the first time.

On a Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 59679463410, the “bottom part” most people mean is the base area that houses key cooling components, especially the compressor and condenser-side parts. The base also includes the front grille and leveling hardware used to stabilize the cabinet.

What you will typically find at the bottom

Depending on whether you mean the front bottom, back bottom, or inside the freezer section, these are the most common “bottom” components:

• Compressor: pumps refrigerant through the sealed system (usually at the back/bottom)
• Condenser fan and condenser coil: remove heat from the refrigerant (back/bottom)
• Base grille (toe grille): front cover you remove for access and cleaning
• Leveling screws/rollers: used to level the refrigerator so doors close properly
• Freezer drawer and slide rails: bottom compartment hardware on bottom-mount designs

Quick guide: which “bottom part” are you asking about?

If you mean...	Common name	What it does
Back, near the floor	Compressor area	Runs the cooling system
Front, under doors	Base grille	Covers access area; helps airflow
Bottom compartment	Freezer drawer area	Stores frozen food; slides in/out

Why it matters

Using the right name helps you match symptoms to the right repair. For example, door-closing issues often point to leveling screws (base area), while warm temperatures can involve the compressor, condenser fan, or evaporator fan.

Model-specific tip for 59679463410

Your manual describes accessing the base area to adjust stability and door closing. It notes the refrigerator has two adjustable front leveling screws and explains raising or lowering the cabinet using a 1/4-inch hex driver; see the owner's manual for the step-by-step procedure.

Related parts we stock for this model (examples)

If you are trying to identify a specific bottom component by function, these parts are commonly associated with bottom or airflow/cooling performance:

• Refrigerator compressor W10233960
• Refrigerator condenser fan motor W11613295
• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WPW10128551
