Kenmore Elite 79571053012 refrigerator Parts

The Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571053012 is in the Kenmore 795.7105* family shown in our documentation, which is typically a bottom-freezer design in the 20 to 22 cubic feet range. For the exact listed capacity for your specific configuration, check the specifications section in the 79571053012 owner's manual.

How to confirm the exact capacity on your model

We recommend using the manual because it’s the fastest way to match capacity to your exact feature set (ice room, door bins, pantry drawer, and other variations).

• Look for “Specifications” or “Product dimensions and capacity” in the manual
• Confirm the full model number on the ID label (right-hand side of the refrigerator compartment)
• Match any suffix or variation shown in the manual’s model list (the guide covers several models)
• If you are comparing listings, use the same measurement standard (total vs usable space)

Typical capacity range for Kenmore 795 bottom-freezer refrigerators

Most Kenmore refrigerators with a 795 prefix (commonly LG-built platforms) fall into a fairly consistent size class.

What you’re checking	What you’ll usually see	Why it varies
Total capacity	20 to 22 cu. ft.	Ice room size, door storage, drawer layout
Usable space	Slightly less than total	Shelves, bins, and air channels reduce usable volume

Why it matters

Knowing cubic feet helps us match the right refrigerator water filter, door bins, and storage components, and it also helps when comparing energy use and fit in your kitchen cutout.

If you’re also replacing the filter on this model, the common match is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.

Common problems we see with the Kenmore Elite 79571053012 bottom-mount refrigerator include ice maker and dispenser issues, water leaks, door sealing problems, and cooling complaints that trace back to airflow or the sealed system. Our 79571053012 owner's manual troubleshooting section helps you match symptoms to the most likely cause.

Most common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser area, airflow blockage, evaporator fan issues, or sealed-system/compressor problems
• Ice maker not making ice: ice compartment door not closing tightly, ice bin uneven, water supply or valve issue
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged/iced drain path, cracked drain tube, loose water line connections
• Lights not working: loose bulb, burned-out bulb, door switch issue
• Rattling or vibration: unit not level, weak floor, leveling legs need adjustment

Quick checks you can do first (no parts required)

1. Confirm doors close fully and gaskets seal all the way around.
2. Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly; an air leak can reduce ice production and freeze items in the fresh-food section.
3. If ice production stops with a full bin, level the ice by gently shaking the bin (uneven ice can “trick” the sensor).
4. If the compressor seems to run a lot, check room temperature and how often the doors are opened; longer run times are normal after loading groceries.
5. If lights are out, reseat the bulb and check the door switch.

Parts that commonly solve these problems on model 79571053012

Symptom	Common fix	Example part for this model
No ice or slow ice	Restore water flow, fix valve, service ice maker	Refrigerator ice maker assembly AEQ73110205 or lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601
Leaking water	Clear drain, replace cracked drain tube	Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D
Warm temps, poor efficiency	Improve heat rejection and airflow	Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73784701
Lights intermittent/off	Replace failed switch	Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A

Why it matters

Catching airflow, door-seal, and water-supply problems early prevents food spoilage, reduces ice and dispenser failures, and helps the compressor avoid excessive run time.

On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571053012, the ER CO error code means there’s a communication problem between the display/control on the door and the main control board on the back of the refrigerator. This can be caused by a loose wiring connection, power interruption, or a failed control.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Unplug the refrigerator (or turn off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power to clear a temporary glitch.
• Confirm the door is fully closing and not pinching the harness area.
• Check for moisture or frost around the door area that could affect connections.
• If the code returns quickly after a reset, plan on inspecting wiring and controls.

What to inspect (safe, DIY-friendly steps)

Before any inspection, disconnect power to avoid electric shock.

• Verify the power cord is firmly plugged in and the outlet is working.
• Inspect the door wiring path for obvious damage (cuts, pinches, rubbed insulation).
• Reseat any accessible wire connectors you can reach without disassembling sealed components.
• If the interior lights do not respond correctly when the door opens and closes, test the door switch; a bad switch can contribute to odd control behavior.

If you need door-switch replacement for this model, use the exact part: refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A.

What the symptoms usually look like

What you notice	What it points to	What to do next
ER CO after a storm or outage	Control reset needed	Power reset, then monitor
ER CO comes back within minutes	Ongoing communication failure	Inspect harness and connectors
Display acts erratic or blanks	Door display/control issue	Check door wiring, then controls
Multiple functions stop (cooling, dispenser, ice)	Main control not communicating	Professional diagnosis recommended

Why it matters

When the controls cannot “talk” to each other, the refrigerator may disable features (cooling, dispenser, ice maker) to protect the system. Addressing ER CO quickly helps prevent temperature swings and food spoilage.

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators, including model 79571053012, typically last 12 to 15 years with normal household use. Consistent cleaning, good airflow around the cabinet, and keeping door seals tight are the biggest factors that help you reach (or beat) that average.

What affects lifespan the most

• Condenser coil cleanliness: Dust buildup makes the compressor run longer and hotter.
• Ventilation and leveling: Poor airflow or an unlevel cabinet can increase vibration and wear.
• Door gasket condition: Leaks force longer run times and can lead to cooling problems.
• Usage habits: Frequent door openings and overpacking reduce efficiency.
• Water and ice system upkeep: Regular filter changes help protect valves and the ice maker.

Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)

• Vacuum and brush the condenser area regularly (see cleaning guidance in the 79571053012 owner's manual).
• Keep food organized so the doors stay open for less time.
• Confirm doors close fully and seal all the way around.
• Replace the water filter on schedule; a restricted filter can strain the water system.
• Address unusual vibration by leveling the refrigerator and stabilizing the floor.

Common “wear items” vs. major repairs

Item type	Examples on this model	Why it matters
Routine maintenance	Water filter, door gaskets	Helps efficiency and reduces run time
Functional components	Ice maker, water inlet valve	Affects ice and water performance
Major sealed-system parts	Compressor	Drives cooling; repairs are more involved

If you are maintaining the water system, the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 is the model-matched filter option listed for 79571053012.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer than necessary (from dirty coils, warm air leaks, or poor airflow) puts extra load on the compressor and fans. Keeping the unit clean and sealed helps stabilize temperatures, reduce run time, and extend overall service life.

On the Kenmore Elite 79571053012 bottom-mount refrigerator, the most common “problem” is not the freezer location itself; it is warm air getting in through doors or ice-compartment areas, which leads to frost, temperature swings, and longer compressor run times. Use the 79571053012 owner's manual troubleshooting and care steps to pinpoint the cause.

Most common issues we see (and what they cause)

• Door not sealing or not closing fully: warm, humid air enters; frost forms and cooling performance drops.
• Doors opened often or overloaded: temperatures rise; the unit runs longer to recover.
• Ice compartment door not closed tightly (in-door ice models): cold air leaks; can freeze items in the refrigerator section and reduce ice production.
• Dirty condenser coils: heat cannot dissipate well; longer run times and warmer temps.
• Controls adjusted too aggressively: colder settings increase compressor run time.

Quick checks you can do in 10 minutes

1. Confirm doors close easily and stay closed; check for packages blocking the seal.
2. Inspect gaskets for gaps, tears, or sticky spots; clean the gasket and the surface it touches.
3. If you have in-door ice, make sure the ice compartment door closes tightly.
4. Vacuum and brush the condenser coil area (unplug first).
5. If temperatures seem off, adjust controls in small steps and wait 24 hours between changes.

Symptoms to likely cause guide

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do first
Frost on frozen food	Door not closing, frequent openings	Check gasket seal and door alignment
Refrigerator section too warm	Door opened often, warm room, heavy load	Lower refrigerator control slightly; wait 24 hours
Ice maker stops early or ice clumps	Ice uneven in bin, ice door not sealed	Level ice in bin; keep ice door closed
Runs a lot	Dirty coils, warm air leaks, very cold settings	Clean coils; check gaskets; moderate settings

Parts that commonly solve air-leak and frost complaints

If you find a torn or warped seal, replacing the gasket is often the fix:

• Right fresh food door: refrigerator door gasket, right ADX73550624
• Left fresh food door: gasket asy,d ADX73550621

Why it matters

Warm air leaks force the sealed cooling system to run longer to maintain safe food temperatures. Fixing door sealing, coil cleanliness, and control settings improves temperature stability, reduces frost, and helps the refrigerator run more efficiently.
