Kenmore Elite 79572353312 refrigerator Parts

Kenmore Elite is a premium Kenmore line that began appearing in the late 1990s. For your specific Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572353312, the most accurate “year it came out” is the unit’s manufacture date, which we identify by decoding the serial number using the 79572353312 owner's manual.

How to find the year for your exact 79572353312

Start by locating the model and serial tag, then decode the serial number.

• Check inside the fresh food compartment on the side wall near the crisper drawers
• Check the door jamb area (around the gasket line)
• Check the back exterior panel near the lower section
• Write down the full serial number exactly as shown
• Use the serial decoding guidance in the 79572353312 owner's manual

What “came out” can mean (and what we recommend using)

Manufacturers and retailers often use “came out” in different ways. For parts and service, the manufacture date is the most useful.

Term people mean	What it refers to	Best for
Product line launch	When “Kenmore Elite” branding started	General history
Model introduction	When model family 795.xxxx was sold	Shopping comparisons
Manufacture date	When your refrigerator was built	Parts matching, warranty, service

Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting

The build date and full model number help us match the correct refrigerator water filter, air filter, door gasket, and electronic control parts for your exact configuration.

If you are tracking down a water or ice issue while you are checking the unit’s age, the how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator guide pairs well with model-based parts lookup.

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators, including model 79572353312, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal use and basic maintenance. Units that get regular cleaning and have good door sealing often reach the high end of that range; major sealed-system failures can shorten it.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

A refrigerator’s life is usually determined by how hard the sealed cooling system works and how well the cabinet stays sealed.

• Condenser coil cleanliness (dirty coils make the compressor run hotter and longer)
• Door gasket condition (air leaks cause longer run times and frost issues)
• Room temperature and ventilation around the cabinet
• Water and ice system upkeep (filter changes help flow and taste, and reduce nuisance issues)
• How full the refrigerator is (overpacked blocks airflow; too empty can cause temperature swings)

Maintenance that helps you reach 15 years

We recommend these habits for Kenmore bottom-mount models like 79572353312:

• Vacuum and brush the condenser area every 6 to 12 months
• Keep doors closing squarely; do the “paper test” on gaskets
• Replace the water filter on schedule; use the correct filter for this model
• Keep vents inside the fresh food section and freezer clear
• Set temperatures to typical targets: 37°F fresh food, 0°F freezer

Item to maintain	What you do	How often (typical)
Condenser area	Clean dust and pet hair	Every 6 to 12 months
Door seals	Clean, inspect for gaps/tears	Every 3 to 6 months
Water filter	Replace and flush water lines	About every 6 months
Air filter (if equipped)	Replace to reduce odors	About every 6 months

Parts that commonly impact longevity

If performance is slipping, these parts are often involved:

• Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004
• Refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461
• Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801
• Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer to hold temperature uses more energy and puts extra wear on the compressor and fans. Simple maintenance (coils, seals, airflow, filters) is the most reliable way to extend service life and avoid warm temperatures or ice buildup.

For model-specific care and cleaning guidance, follow the 79572353312 owner's manual.

On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572353312, a leak from the bottom is usually caused by a defrost drain problem (water can’t reach the drain pan), a water supply or dispenser line leak, or ice buildup that melts and runs forward. Use the 79572353312 owner's manual to confirm access points and safety steps.

Quick checks that solve most bottom leaks

• Look for ice or water under the freezer drawer: this often points to a clogged defrost drain.
• Check the water filter area for drips: a loose or mis-seated filter can leak.
• Inspect the water line behind the refrigerator: kinks, cracks, or a loose fitting can drip and run to the front.
• Check the door seal: warm air leaks can create excess frost that later melts.
• Confirm the refrigerator is level: a forward tilt can make water run out instead of into the drain pan.

Most common causes and what to do

What you see	Most likely cause	What we recommend
Water appears after defrost cycles; ice sheet under freezer	Defrost drain clogged or frozen	Clear the drain path with hot water; remove ice buildup; keep food packages from blocking vents
Drips near filter housing; worse after filter change	Filter not fully seated or O-ring issue	Reinstall the filter; replace if the seal is damaged; consider replacing the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Water trails from back to front	Supply line connection leaking	Tighten fittings; replace damaged tubing; check the refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602 if the internal line is cracked
Puddle forms even with water turned off	Condensation or drain pan overflow	Clean condenser area, confirm doors close tightly, and verify the drain pan is positioned correctly

Why it matters

Bottom leaks can lead to floor damage and can also signal airflow or defrost issues that reduce cooling performance. Fixing the root cause helps prevent repeat puddles and ice buildup.

When a repair is more likely needed

A part replacement is more likely if you notice any of these:

• Repeated ice buildup returns within 1 to 2 weeks
• Water leaks only when dispensing water or making ice
• Cracked tubing, brittle fittings, or visible mineral deposits at a joint
• Cooling problems along with the leak (warm refrigerator or freezer)

For Kenmore Elite model 79572353312 bottom-mount refrigerators, the most common problems we see are cooling issues, ice maker or water dispenser trouble, frost buildup from defrost or airflow problems, and door-seal leaks. Many fixes start with basic cleaning, filter changes, and checking airflow settings in the 79572353312 owner's manual.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coil, blocked vents, failed evaporator fan, or sealed-system/compressor issues
• Ice maker not making ice: clogged water filter, low water pressure, frozen fill tube, or ice maker failure
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: restricted filter, kinked water line, or inlet valve problems
• Frost buildup or warm fridge with cold freezer: defrost sensor/heater issues, door left ajar, or damper/airflow problems
• Unusual noises (buzzing, clicking, rattling): fan blade hitting ice, loose panels, or compressor/start component concerns

Quick checks we recommend first (before replacing parts)

1. Set temperatures to typical targets: 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer.
2. Make sure air vents inside the refrigerator are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean dust from the condenser area (unplug first).
4. Confirm doors close fully and the gasket seals all the way around.
5. If water or ice is affected, replace the water filter and purge air from the line.

Parts that commonly solve these problems on model 79572353312

Symptom	Common part to check/replace	What it affects
Bad-tasting water, slow dispense, no ice	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801	Water flow and filtration
Odors in fresh food section	Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408	Air circulation and odor control
Frost issues, defrost errors	Refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005R	Defrost timing and temperature sensing
Lights off or dispenser acts “door open”	Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A	Door status and interior functions
No ice production (mechanical failure)	Ice maker assembly (AEQ73110203) - refrigerator ice making component by lg AEQ73110203	Ice harvest and fill cycles

Why it matters

Catching airflow restrictions, dirty coils, and filter clogs early helps your Kenmore Elite refrigerator hold temperature, prevents ice maker and dispenser problems, and reduces strain on high-cost components like the compressor.
