Kenmore 79565004402 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore refrigerator model 79565004402, the model and serial number are printed on an identification label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, typically on the right-hand side wall. Use that exact model number when ordering parts or checking troubleshooting steps in the 79565004402 owner's manual.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the refrigerator door and look on the right-hand inside wall of the refrigerator compartment.
• Check the label before removing drawers or shelves.
• Write down both the model number and serial number.
• Take a clear photo of the label for future reference.

Other common Kenmore label locations

If you do not see the label on the right-hand wall, these are other places Kenmore refrigerators often use:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall near the crisper area
• Inside the freezer compartment on an interior wall
• On the door liner (inside edge of the door)
• Behind the base grille or near the kick plate area

Why the exact model number matters

Kenmore model numbers can look very similar, but parts like a door switch, thermistor, or control board can vary by revision. Using the exact model number helps ensure the correct fit and wiring match.

What to record	Example for this unit	Why you need it
Model number	79565004402	Matches the correct parts diagrams and lists
Serial number	(from the label)	Helps identify production version and date

Tip for parts ordering

When you have the model number, match parts by description and ID. For example, if you are diagnosing an interior light or door-ajar issue, the lg refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A is a common related part for this model.

Kenmore refrigerator model 79565004402 is a bottom-freezer refrigerator in the Kenmore 795.6500- model family. For exact exterior dimensions (width, depth, height) and capacity for your specific color/version, we use the 79565004402 owner's manual to match the correct specification section.

What “size” usually means (and what to measure)

When customers ask for “size,” it typically refers to one or more of these:

• Overall width (cabinet and doors)
• Overall height (to top of hinge cover)
• Overall depth (with handles, without handles, and without doors)
• Total capacity (cubic feet)
• Clearance needs (space behind and above for airflow)

How to get the right dimensions for 79565004402

We recommend using two checks so you get the number that fits your kitchen opening:

1. Confirm the exact model on the rating label (inside the fresh food section).
2. Use the dimension diagram/specifications in the 79565004402 owner's manual.
3. Measure your unit with a tape measure:
   • Width: left edge to right edge at the widest point
   • Height: floor to top of hinge area
   • Depth: back to front, then repeat including handles

Typical size range for this Kenmore bottom-freezer style

Most Kenmore 795 bottom-freezer refrigerators are in this general range (use this for planning, then confirm with the manual and your tape measure):

Measurement	Typical range
Width	30 to 33 inches
Height	67 to 70 inches
Depth	30 to 35 inches
Capacity	20 to 25 cu. ft.

Why it matters

Correct dimensions prevent installation problems like doors hitting cabinets, drawers not opening fully, or insufficient rear clearance. The manual also notes that using an extension cord increases the clearance needed behind the refrigerator, which can affect depth planning.

On Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79565004402, the ice maker is reset by power-cycling the refrigerator and re-starting the ice maker (there is a power switch on the ice maker). After power is restored, the ice maker resumes automatically once it reaches about 15°F (-9°C) or colder.

Reset steps (safe, reliable method)

• Turn the ice maker power switch to O (off).
• Unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the circuit breaker).
• Wait 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Turn the ice maker power switch to I (on).
• Allow 12 to 24 hours for ice production to begin on a newly installed or fully warmed unit.

Quick checks if it still will not make ice

• Confirm the water supply shutoff valve is fully open.
• Make sure nothing blocks the ice maker feeler arm (bin-full arm).
• Discard the first few batches of ice after restoring water flow (clears the line).
• Verify the freezer is cold enough; the ice maker will not run until it is at or below about 15°F (-9°C).
• Check for a frozen or restricted drain that can contribute to icing and airflow problems; inspect the refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D.

What to expect after a reset

Situation	Normal behavior	Typical time
Power was off briefly	Ice maker restarts when cold enough	A few hours
Ice maker was switched off	No ice until switch is turned on	Immediate after switch on
New install or fully warmed fridge	First ice is delayed	12 to 24 hours

Why it matters

Resetting the refrigerator clears minor control glitches and ensures the ice maker switch, temperature requirement, and water supply are all in the correct state. Most “no ice” complaints come down to the ice maker being off, the freezer not being cold enough, or water flow being interrupted.

For model-specific operating details (ice maker switch location, control settings, and troubleshooting), use the 79565004402 owner's manual.

Common problems on the Kenmore 79565004402 bottom-mount refrigerator include warm temperatures (often airflow or fan related), frost buildup from a defrost issue, water leaks from a clogged defrost drain, and clicking or buzzing tied to the compressor start circuit. Our 79565004402 owner's manual troubleshooting and control-setting steps help narrow the cause quickly.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: blocked air vents, dirty condenser coils, failed condenser fan, or evaporator fan issues
• Frost or ice buildup: defrost system trouble (sensor, heater) or a door not sealing
• Water under the fridge or in the freezer: defrost drain restriction or drain tube problem
• Noisy operation (clicking, buzzing, rattling): fan blade hitting ice, loose panels, or a start relay cycling
• Lights not working or staying on: door switch problem

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

• Confirm controls are set correctly; adjust the refrigerator control first, then wait 24 hours before changing again.
• Make sure packages are not blocking interior air vents.
• Clean condenser coils (dust buildup can raise temperatures).
• Check door closing and gasket contact all the way around.
• Listen for fan noise changes when doors open and close.

Parts that commonly fix these issues on model 79565004402

Symptom	Common part involved	Example part for this model
Interior lights act up	Door switch	Lg refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A
Frost buildup, warm fridge	Defrost sensing	Refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005C
Puddles or ice under drawers	Defrost drain path	Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D

Why it matters

Cooling and defrost problems usually get worse over time. Catching a blocked vent, dirty condenser, or a failing sensor early helps protect food temperatures and reduces strain on the compressor.
