Kenmore 79571309011 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore model 79571309011, the ice maker is typically “reset” by power-cycling the refrigerator and then re-priming the ice maker water circuit. This clears minor control glitches and restarts the harvest cycle without needing a dedicated reset button; follow the steps in the 79571309011 owner’s manual.

Quick reset steps (power cycle)

• Turn the ice maker OFF (switch or arm, depending on your style).
• Unplug the refrigerator (or switch the breaker OFF) for 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Turn the ice maker ON.
• Allow 12 to 24 hours for normal ice production after a reset.

What to check if it still will not make ice

• Confirm the freezer is cold enough (target 0°F; ice makers struggle above about 10°F).
• Make sure the shutoff arm is down (or the ice maker is enabled).
• Verify the water supply valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
• If the ice maker mold is dry, the fill system may be restricted; inspect the fill tube for ice.
• If you have weak or no fill, test the inlet valve; a failing valve can prevent refills.

Common symptoms and likely causes

Symptom	Most common cause	What to do next
No ice at all	Ice maker turned off, freezer too warm	Re-enable; confirm temps
Small/hollow cubes	Low water flow	Check supply; filter; valve
Ice maker cycles but no water	Frozen fill tube or bad valve	Thaw fill tube; test valve
Intermittent ice	Door not sealing, temp swings	Check gasket and door closure

Parts that often solve “no fill” problems

If power-cycling helps only briefly, the water fill components are the next place we look:

• Refrigerator water inlet valve assembly AJU55759303 (controls water flow to the ice maker)
• Refrigerator ice maker assembly AEQ72909603 (if the module or motor is failing)

Why it matters

A reset fixes short-term control hiccups, but consistent ice production depends on stable freezer temperature and steady water flow. Addressing airflow, door sealing, and the inlet valve prevents repeat failures and protects food storage temps.

A top-mount refrigerator has the freezer on top and the fresh-food section below; a bottom-mount (bottom-freezer) refrigerator, like Kenmore model 79571309011, puts the freezer on the bottom so everyday refrigerated items sit closer to eye level. For model-specific features, use the 79571309011 owner's manual.

Quick comparison

Style	Freezer location	Fresh-food location	Best for
Top-mount	Top	Bottom	Lowest upfront cost, simple layout
Bottom-mount	Bottom	Top	Easier access to fresh food, less bending

What changes in day-to-day use

• Ergonomics: Bottom-mount designs reduce bending for milk, produce, and leftovers.
• Freezer access: You typically pull out a lower drawer or open a bottom door to reach frozen items.
• Organization: Bottom freezers often use baskets/dividers; top freezers often use shelves.
• Energy use: Both styles can be efficient; real-world use depends more on door openings, room temperature, and gasket condition.
• Cost and repairs: Bottom-mount units often have more complex drawer hardware, which can affect repair cost over time.

Why it matters when choosing parts or troubleshooting

The refrigerator layout affects where you’ll find common components and symptoms. For example, bottom-mount models often have freezer drawer rails and door sealing surfaces that can impact closing, frost buildup, and temperature stability.

Common “layout-related” issues to watch for

• Freezer drawer not closing fully (can lead to frost and warm temps)
• Door not sealing evenly (can cause moisture, sweating, or icing)
• Ice maker performance changes after frequent freezer drawer use

If you’re troubleshooting ice production on this model, the lg refrigerator ice maker assembly model AEQ72909603 AEQ72909603 is a common replacement part for the ice maker system.

Kenmore refrigerator model 79571309011 is a bottom-mount refrigerator; the exact exterior dimensions (width, depth, height) and total capacity are listed in the product specifications section of the 79571309011 owner's manual. Use those specs when planning cabinet fit, door swing, and ventilation clearance.

How we recommend measuring your space

Even with the correct model number, your opening and pathway measurements determine whether the refrigerator fits and can be installed level.

• Measure the opening width at the front and back (use the smallest number)
• Measure height from floor to the lowest cabinet or trim (include flooring)
• Measure depth from the back wall to the front edge of counters or obstacles
• Check door swing clearance on the hinge side and in front of the unit
• Measure pathways (doorways, hallways, turns) for delivery and removal

What “size” can mean (quick reference)

Spec you need	What it tells you	Where to confirm
Width x height x depth	Whether it fits the opening	79571309011 owner's manual
Depth with doors/handles	How far it projects into the room	79571309011 owner's manual
Capacity (cu. ft.)	How much food storage you get	79571309011 owner's manual
Required clearances	Airflow and door operation space	79571309011 owner's manual

Why “depth” is the most common surprise

Depth varies depending on how it is measured, so we always match your plan to the manual’s definitions.

• Cabinet depth vs. depth including handles can differ significantly
• Doors need extra space to open fully and for drawers to slide out
• Leveling legs can slightly change final height

Why it matters

Using the manual’s exact dimensions prevents installation problems like doors hitting walls, drawers not clearing, and restricted airflow that can cause warm temperatures.
