Kenmore 59672383410 refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore refrigerator model 59672383410, the correct replacement water filter is part #46-9924 (P6RFWB2). This model’s water filter installs in the right-hand side of the refrigerator ceiling and must be locked in place or the dispenser will not dispense water. See the 59672383410 owner's manual.

How to confirm you have the right filter

Use these quick checks before you buy:

• Match your refrigerator model number to 59672383410 (on the rating label inside the fresh food section).
• Look for the filter compartment in the right-hand ceiling of the refrigerator section.
• Confirm your dispenser works only when the filter is fully locked (a good sign you have the correct style).
• Replace the filter when the “REPLACE FILTER” indicator comes on or at least every 6 months.
• Replace sooner if water flow to the dispenser or ice maker drops noticeably.

Water filter replacement basics (this model)

The manual’s process for this style of filter is consistent and reliable:

• Push up on the filter compartment door to release the catch, then lower the door.
• Turn the old filter counterclockwise and pull it straight out.
• Insert the new filter, align the label arrow with the housing notch, then turn clockwise 90 degrees (1/4 turn) until it locks.
• Close the compartment door completely.
• Flush the water system after installing the new filter.

What to expect after installing a new filter

Situation	What it usually means	What to do
Dispenser does not dispense	Filter not locked in	Reinstall and turn until fully locked
Dripping or slow flow right after install	Water system not flushed	Flush the system per the manual
“REPLACE FILTER” stays on	Filter missing or installed incorrectly	Re-seat the filter and close the door fully

Why it matters

Using the correct filter for 59672383410 protects water flow to the dispenser and ice maker, helps maintain taste and clarity, and prevents “no water” symptoms caused by an unlocked or mis-seated filter.

On Kenmore model 59672383410, DH commonly indicates a defrost heating problem (the refrigerator is not sensing normal heat rise during the defrost cycle). This can lead to frost buildup on the evaporator and warmer refrigerator temperatures if it continues.

What you should check first

• Power reset: unplug the refrigerator (or turn off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Look for symptoms of a defrost failure: heavy frost on the back wall of the freezer, weak airflow, or warming fresh-food section.
• Confirm doors seal and close correctly; poor sealing can increase frost and make defrost issues worse.
• Verify control settings on the dispenser panel; the controls are located above the external dispenser.
• If the unit is showing other codes, use the model-family error code reference for guidance.

Likely causes (most common to least common)

1. Defrost heater not heating (open heater circuit).
2. Defrost control issue (electronic control not powering the heater when needed).
3. Wiring/connector problem in the defrost circuit.
4. Airflow restriction from ice buildup causing temperature sensing issues.

Parts that often relate to DH/defrost symptoms

Symptom you see	What it points to	Example part for this model
Thick frost on freezer back panel	Defrost system not melting frost	Refrigerator defrost heater WP12729128
Warm fridge, freezer still cold-ish	Frost blocking airflow across evaporator	Defrost system diagnosis (heater, control, wiring)
Intermittent DH code	Loose connection or control issue	Control and harness checks per 59672383410 manual

Why it matters

A DH-style defrost heating fault lets frost build up on the evaporator coil. That blocks airflow from the evaporator fan into the refrigerator compartment, so food temperatures rise and the compressor may run longer than normal.

When to stop and get service

• You see heavy ice buildup returning quickly after a manual defrost.
• The refrigerator is warming above safe food temperatures.
• You need to access internal panels or test live voltage.

Common Kenmore Elite refrigerator problems include weak or no cooling, frost buildup, dispenser or ice maker issues, and unusual noises. On Kenmore model 59672383410, many of these come down to airflow, door sealing, control settings (including Showroom mode), and water supply setup covered in the 59672383410 owner's manual.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan not running, cooling turned off, or Showroom mode enabled.
• Runs a lot: energy-efficient compressor operation, warm room conditions, frequent door openings, or restricted airflow.
• Frost or ice buildup: doors not sealing, doors not fully closed, or a defrost system problem.
• Water dispenser not working: doors not fully closed, shutoff valve closed, kinked water line, or low house water pressure.
• Odors in fresh food section: spills, uncovered foods, or an air filter that is due for replacement (replace about every 6 months).

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

• Confirm the refrigerator has power and cooling is turned on.
• Check for Showroom mode; when enabled, cooling is off and “Showroom” may appear on the display.
• Allow 24 hours after installation or major setting changes for temperatures to stabilize.
• Make sure both doors close fully; this model uses a left-door hinged seal that must fold inward and seal correctly.
• For dispenser issues, verify the shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.

Common part-related fixes (when symptoms persist)

Symptom	Likely system	Example part for this model
Warm fridge, freezer OK	Airflow/evaporator fan	Refrigerator fan motor W10633627
Frost buildup, warming	Defrost system	Refrigerator defrost heater WP12729128
No water/ice or weak flow	Water supply/valve	Refrigerator water inlet valve assembly WPW10341329
Odors linger	Air filtration	Refrigerator air filter W10311524

Why it matters

Cooling, defrost, and dispenser symptoms can overlap. Starting with controls, door sealing, and water supply checks helps restore normal temperatures faster and prevents replacing parts that are still good.
