Kenmore 79573053411 refrigerator Parts

If you have a Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator like model 79573053411, the model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. On most Kenmore bottom-freezer designs, you will find that label inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall or near the ceiling) or on the door frame; confirm the exact characters and use them to match parts and instructions in the 79573053411 owner's manual.

Where to find the model number label

Check these common locations first:

• Inside the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment on a side wall
• Inside the refrigerator compartment near the top/ceiling area
• On the door frame when you open the refrigerator door
• Behind the lower toe grille or kick plate area (if your unit has one)
• On a sticker that also lists the serial number

How to read the label correctly

Model numbers must match exactly, character for character. Use these tips so you do not order the wrong Kenmore parts (like a water filter, ice maker, or door gasket):

• Write down the full model number and serial number
• Include all digits, punctuation, and suffixes (for example, “795.7305*” indicates a model family in the manual)
• Take a clear photo of the label before you shop for parts
• If the label is worn, use a flashlight and view it from an angle

Quick check: model family vs. full model number

The Use & Care Guide for this refrigerator series lists models as 795.7305*, while your full parts model is 79573053411. That is normal; the family number helps identify the platform, and the full model number is what we use to match exact parts.

What you see	What it means	What to use for parts
795.7305*	Model family/series shown in the manual	Use for general operation info
79573053411	Full model number for your exact unit	Use for parts lookup and fit

Why it matters

Using the exact model number prevents fit issues and repeat repairs, especially for model-specific items like the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801, door gaskets, and the ice maker.

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators typically last 12 to 15 years with normal household use. For your Kenmore 79573053411 bottom-mount refrigerator, steady temperatures, clean condenser coils, and good door sealing are the biggest factors that keep the sealed system and compressor running longer.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

A refrigerator’s life is mostly determined by how hard the cooling system has to work.

• Ventilation and coil cleanliness: Dusty condenser coils raise run time and heat.
• Door gasket condition: Air leaks cause longer run times and frost issues.
• Room temperature and placement: Hot garages and tight enclosures shorten life.
• Power interruptions: Frequent outages and surges stress electronics.
• Usage habits: Overpacking and frequent door openings increase workload.

Maintenance checklist that extends service life

We recommend using the care and cleaning guidance in the 79573053411 owner's manual and sticking to a simple routine.

• Vacuum and brush condenser coils regularly.
• Clean and inspect door gaskets; correct gaps and tears.
• Keep vents inside the refrigerator and freezer clear.
• Replace the water filter on schedule if you use the dispenser.
• Level the refrigerator so doors close and seal consistently.

Common wear items vs. major repairs

Some parts are normal maintenance; others are “big ticket” repairs that often show up later in the refrigerator’s life.

Category	Examples	What you usually notice
Routine maintenance	Water filter, door bins	Reduced water flow, cracked plastic
Sealing and airflow	Door gaskets, fan covers	Warm temps, frost, moisture
Major cooling system	Compressor, evaporator, control board	Not cooling, loud running, no start

If you are replacing a filter for performance and to reduce strain on the water system, use the model-matched 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, fans, and control board. Basic cleaning and sealing checks are the most cost-effective way to protect the cooling system over the long term.

Common problems we see with Kenmore Elite refrigerators like model 79573053411 include cooling issues (often tied to airflow or sealed-system components), ice maker or dispenser failures, water leaks, and control or display problems. Your 79573053411 owner's manual also includes a troubleshooting guide and care steps that prevent many of these issues.

Most common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan/airflow problems, or a compressor issue
• Ice maker not making ice: ice maker assembly problem, frozen fill tube, or low water supply
• No water from dispenser: clogged filter, air in the line, or a water inlet valve problem
• Water puddles or leaks: clogged/iced drain system or a cracked drain tube
• Doors not sealing: torn or warped door gasket causing frost, sweating, and temperature swings

Parts that commonly solve these problems (for 79573053411)

If your symptoms match, these model-compatible parts are common fixes:

Symptom	Common fix	Example part on this model page
Bad tasting/slow water	Replace water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
No ice or poor ice harvest	Replace ice maker	Lg refrigerator ice maker AEQ73110210
No water/slow fill to ice maker	Test/replace inlet valve	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601
Leaking into fresh food/freezer	Clear/replace drain tube	Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D
Frost, warm spots, moisture	Replace door gasket	Lg refrigerator door gasket, left ADX73550621

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

• Confirm the control settings are correct and not accidentally changed (see the controls section in the manual).
• Clean the condenser coils; restricted airflow is a top cause of weak cooling.
• If water or ice is slow, replace the filter first, then purge air by dispensing several cups of water.
• Inspect door gaskets for gaps; a poor seal can mimic a cooling failure.
• If you have a display issue or odd behavior after a power interruption, unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then restore power.

Why it matters

Most “not working” complaints come from airflow restrictions, water supply problems, or door sealing issues. Catching those early helps protect food temperatures, reduces frost buildup, and prevents the compressor from running excessively.

The “bottom part” of a refrigerator is most often the base cover (toe grille) area; behind it you typically find key cooling components like the compressor, condenser fan, and a drain pan. On Kenmore model 79573053411, the manual specifically warns about working around the base cover and bottom area. See the 79573053411 owner's manual.

Common names for the bottom area (and what they mean)

• Base cover / toe grille: The removable panel at the very bottom front.
• Machine compartment: The space behind the base cover where major components sit.
• Compressor area: The section that houses the compressor and related start components.
• Bottom rear service area: Where you may access the condenser coil and fan on many models.

What parts are usually “down there”

Depending on the exact configuration, the bottom area commonly includes:

• Compressor (the pump that circulates refrigerant)
• Condenser fan (moves air across the condenser)
• Condenser coil (releases heat)
• Drain pan (catches defrost water)
• Wiring and harness connections

Here are a few model-matched examples you can order for Kenmore 79573053411:

Component	What it does	Example part for this model
Compressor	Drives the cooling system	Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801
Condenser coil	Releases heat from the sealed system	Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73964501
Compressor protection	Helps protect the compressor from overload	Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D

Safety and access tips before you check the bottom area

The bottom compartment can expose you to moving parts and electrical connections.

• Unplug the refrigerator before removing panels or reaching underneath
• Keep hands and feet out of air vents and the base cover opening
• Pull the refrigerator straight out to avoid floor damage
• Avoid placing tools where they can contact wiring or fan blades
• If you smell burning or hear repeated clicking, stop and unplug the unit

Why it matters

Using the right term helps you find the correct diagram and part. For example, “base cover” is a cosmetic access panel, while “compressor” is a major sealed-system component; troubleshooting and repair steps are very different.

Water leaking underneath your Kenmore 79573053411 bottom-mount refrigerator is typically caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain that overflows during defrost, or a slow leak in the water supply system for the ice maker and dispenser. Use the 79573053411 owner's manual for access and safety steps.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Look for ice or standing water on the freezer floor (points to a defrost drain backup).
• Pull the refrigerator forward and inspect the drain pan for cracks or overflow.
• Check the rear water line connection for slow drips.
• If leaks happen only during ice making or dispensing, inspect the inlet valve and filter area.
• Make sure the cabinet is level so water flows to the drain correctly.

Most common cause: clogged or frozen defrost drain

During defrost, meltwater should run through the drain to the pan underneath. When the drain is blocked, water backs up, refreezes, then spills out and runs under the cabinet.

What to do

• Unplug the refrigerator.
• Remove the lower freezer items and locate the drain opening.
• Flush the drain with warm water until it flows freely.
• Clear debris with a flexible plastic tube or pipe cleaner (avoid sharp tools).
• Check that the rear drain tube is seated and not kinked.

If the drain tube is damaged or won’t stay seated, replace the refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D.

If the leak is tied to the ice maker or dispenser

When it leaks	Most likely source	What to inspect
Only while making ice	Inlet valve or supply line	Loose fitting, cracked line, valve seepage
After filter service	Filter area	Filter fully seated, housing seals

For water-supply leaks, a common fix is replacing the lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601.

Why it matters

Leaks can damage flooring and create ice buildup that restricts airflow, which reduces cooling and ice production.
