Kenmore Elite 79572373310 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore Elite model 79572373310, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label, typically inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment along the side wall near the crisper drawers or on the ceiling area. We use that exact number to match the right parts and manual information.

Most common places to check

Look for a white or silver sticker or plate with the model and serial number. Check these spots first:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left or right side wall
• Behind or just above the crisper drawers (you may need to slide the drawer out)
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light housing
• Along the door frame (hinge side) when the door is open
• Behind the lower front toe grille (kick plate) area

What the label looks like (and what to write down)

The label usually includes both a model number and a serial number.

Label item	Example format	Why we need it
Model number	79572373310	Ensures exact-fit parts for your Kenmore Elite refrigerator
Serial number	Letters and numbers	Helps confirm production version when parts vary

Why it matters

Kenmore Elite refrigerators often have multiple versions that look similar. Using the full model number (all digits) prevents ordering the wrong door gasket, ice maker, or filter and helps you follow the correct procedures in the 79572373310 owner's manual.

Quick tip for parts matching

Once you find the model number, match parts by model first, then by symptom. For example, water and ice issues commonly involve the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 or related water system components.

On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572373310, DH (often shown as Er dH) indicates a defrost heating problem: the refrigerator is not sensing the expected temperature rise during the defrost cycle. This points to a defrost heater circuit issue, a control issue, or a wiring/connector problem.

What to check first (fast, no parts swapping)

• Power reset: unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then restore power and see if the code returns.
• Confirm doors fully close and gaskets seal; warm air leaks can worsen frost and trigger defrost-related faults.
• Look for heavy frost on the rear freezer panel; a solid frost blanket strongly supports a defrost failure.
• Verify the condenser area is clean and airflow is not blocked (poor cooling can mimic defrost symptoms).
• Review the model’s diagnostic and error code steps in the 79572373310 owner's manual.

Likely causes of a DH (defrost heat) code

In this Kenmore 795-series style bottom-mount refrigerator, DH typically comes down to one of these:

What failed	What you notice	Typical next step
Defrost heater circuit (heater, wiring, connectors)	Heavy frost, warmer freezer, fan noise changes	Inspect heater circuit and connections; test for continuity where applicable
Defrost sensor/thermistor issue	Code returns even after reset; temps seem inconsistent	Check sensor placement and wiring; follow diagnostic steps
Control board not driving defrost	Repeated DH code; defrost never seems to run	Confirm diagnostics; board testing/replacement is often technician-level

When to stop and call for service

We recommend using a qualified technician if any of these apply:

• You see burned wiring, melted connectors, or signs of arcing.
• You need to access sealed-system areas or you are not comfortable using a multimeter.
• The code returns quickly after a reset and cooling performance is dropping.

Why it matters

A DH error means frost can keep building on the evaporator, restricting airflow. That leads to warm temperatures, poor ice production, longer run times, and potential food spoilage if the defrost system is not restored.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572373310 is a 33-inch wide, bottom-mount (French door style) refrigerator in the about 22 to 23 cu. ft. class. For the exact height and depth for your installation (including handles and door swing clearance), use the dimensions listed in the 79572373310 owner's manual.

Typical dimensions you should plan around

Most Kenmore 795-series, 33-inch French door bottom-mount refrigerators fit within these common ranges:

• Width: about 33 in. (cabinet)
• Height: about 68 in. (varies with hinges and leveling)
• Depth: about 31 to 34 in. (varies with handles and door clearance)
• Capacity class: about 22 to 23 cu. ft.

How to measure your refrigerator correctly

Use a tape measure and capture both cabinet size and “real-world” clearance needs:

• Measure width at the widest point (usually the cabinet)
• Measure height from floor to top hinge cover (include leveling legs setting)
• Measure depth from the back to the front of the handles
• Add clearance for door swing and drawer pull-out
• Confirm the opening is level; uneven floors change door alignment and fit

Quick reference: what to record

Measurement	What to include	Why it matters
Width	Cabinet (and doors if they protrude)	Fit between cabinets/walls
Height	Hinges, hinge cover, leveling	Prevents binding under cabinets
Depth	Handles plus door clearance	Ensures doors open fully
Clearance	Side, top, rear airflow space	Helps cooling performance

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents installation headaches like doors hitting walls, freezer drawer interference, poor airflow around the condenser area, and misaligned doors that can lead to warm temps or frost.

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572373310 include weak or warm cooling (often tied to airflow or sealed-system issues), ice maker or dispenser trouble, water leaks, and doors not sealing well. We use the 79572373310 owner's manual to confirm control settings and basic checks before replacing parts.

Most common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Not cooling or inconsistent temperatures: dirty condenser area, restricted airflow, failing compressor start components, or sealed-system problems
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, frozen fill path, or a failing ice maker assembly
• Water dispenser slow or no water: clogged water filter, kinked tubing, or inlet valve issues
• Bad odors: overdue air filter replacement or spills trapped in liners and ducts
• Frost buildup or warm freezer: door not sealing, frequent door openings, or defrost/airflow problems

Quick checks we recommend before buying parts

1. Verify temperature settings and modes (demo, vacation) in the 79572373310 owner's manual.
2. Make sure air vents inside the fresh food and freezer sections are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean dust from the condenser area and confirm the unit has proper clearance for airflow.
4. Check door closing and sealing with the “paper test” (paper should drag when pulled).
5. If water or ice is affected, replace the filter first and purge air from the line.

Parts that commonly solve these issues (when symptoms match)

Symptom	Common fix	Example part for 79572373310
Slow/no water, bad taste	Replace water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Odors in fresh food section	Replace air filter	Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
Door not sealing, moisture	Replace door gasket	Refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461
No ice or small cubes	Replace ice maker assembly	Refrigerator ice maker AEQ73110203

Why it matters

Cooling and ice-making problems often start as simple airflow or filtration issues; fixing those early helps protect food temperatures and reduces strain on major components like the compressor.

For display or diagnostic codes, use Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes to match the code to the most likely failure area.

On a Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572373310, a bad compressor usually shows up as poor or no cooling, long run times, clicking or buzzing at start-up, and the compressor body running unusually hot. Confirm the basics first (power, airflow, condenser cleanliness) before replacing sealed-system parts; see the 79572373310 owner's manual.

Quick signs the compressor is failing

• Refrigerator and freezer temperatures keep rising even though the unit runs
• Compressor tries to start, then clicks off (often repeats every few minutes)
• Loud buzzing, humming, or knocking from the compressor area
• Compressor is very hot to the touch and cooling performance is still weak
• Breaker trips or the unit shuts down shortly after the compressor attempts to start

What to check first (before calling it a bad compressor)

Many “bad compressor” symptoms are caused by airflow or start components.

• Condenser coil: Dust buildup can cause high heat and poor cooling; clean the refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004
• Airflow inside: Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages
• Door seal: A leaking gasket can mimic cooling failure by letting warm air in
• Start components: A failed relay can prevent the compressor from starting; inspect the refrigerator compressor start relay EBG60663230
• Power reset: Unplug for 5 minutes, then restore power and listen for a normal start and steady run

What the symptoms usually mean

Symptom	Most common cause	What we do next
Clicking every few minutes, no cooling	Start relay/overload, compressor locked rotor	Test/replace start relay; then evaluate compressor
Runs constantly, still warm	Dirty condenser, weak compressor, low refrigerant	Clean condenser; check fans; then sealed-system diagnosis
Very hot compressor shell	Dirty condenser, restricted airflow, sealed-system issue	Clean coil, verify fans, then service check
Breaker trips on start	Shorted compressor or start device	Check relay/overload first, then compressor

Why it matters

The compressor is the heart of the sealed system. Misdiagnosing it can lead to unnecessary cost because compressor and refrigerant work typically requires specialized tools and training.

Water leaking from the bottom of your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572373310 is usually caused by a defrost drain that is clogged and overflowing into the base, or a water supply leak from the dispenser/ice maker tubing. Start by checking for ice or debris in the drain area, then inspect the water line connections.

Most common causes (and what you will notice)

• Clogged defrost drain: Water collects under crisper drawers or runs to the floor after defrost cycles.
• Cracked or loose water tubing: Leaks show up near the back, under the unit, or after using the dispenser.
• Door not sealing well: Excess frost forms, then melts and overwhelms the drain.
• Ice maker fill or dispenser area leak: Puddles appear more often when ice maker is on.
• Drain pan shifted or cracked: Water drips only when the compressor has been running.

Quick checks we recommend (10 to 20 minutes)

1. Unplug the refrigerator and pull it out enough to look underneath.
2. Look for the leak pattern: front vs. back, constant vs. only after dispenser use.
3. Check the freezer floor for ice (a common sign the defrost drain is blocked).
4. Inspect the water line and tubing for kinks, rub marks, or splits; the internal line is often a culprit.
5. Confirm doors close tightly and nothing is holding them open.

Parts that commonly relate to bottom leaks

If you find a split line or a filter housing area leak, these model-matched parts are often involved:

What you found	Likely area	Example model-matched part
Drips near water line routing	Water supply tubing	Refrigerator plastic tube MJU62070602
Leak at filter area or during filter change	Filter seating/bypass	Refrigerator water filter bypass ABN73019101
Water tastes/flows poorly and you see seepage at filter	Filter not sealing or overdue	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801

Why it matters

A small leak can lead to ice buildup, warm temperatures, and floor damage. Fixing the drain or water tubing early helps protect the compressor and keeps the ice maker and dispenser working reliably.

Helpful how-to guidance

• Use the 79572373310 owner's manual to locate the defrost drain access points and the water filter compartment for your exact configuration.
• For step-by-step filter handling and seating tips, follow how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator.
