How to reset Kenmore bottom freezer ice maker?
To reset the ice maker on Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79573054410, power-cycle the refrigerator (unplug it or turn off the breaker), wait about 5 minutes, then restore power and allow time for ice production to restart. For control and ice maker details, use the 79573054410 owner's manual.
- Turn the ice maker Off using the ice maker on/off switch.
- Unplug the refrigerator (or switch the circuit breaker off).
- Wait 5 minutes to fully reset the control.
- Restore power.
- Turn the ice maker On (switch in the On (1) position).
- Wait 24 hours for normal production; allow up to 72 hours for full production after installation or a long outage.
These checks fix most “no ice” complaints after a reset:
- Confirm the water shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
- Make sure the freezer is set cold enough; below 0°F is recommended for normal ice production.
- Check that doors close tightly and are not being opened frequently.
- Make sure nothing is blocking the ice-detecting sensor; keep the sensor area clean and free of frost.
- If you use reverse osmosis, verify water pressure stays at 40 psi or higher.
| Feature | What it affects | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra Ice | Boosts ice making and freezing for 24 hours | Turn it on when you need more ice |
| Freezer temperature | Ice production rate and cube quality | Keep freezer below 0°F |
| Door closure | Prevents warm air and frost issues | Ensure gaskets seal and doors shut fully |
A power-cycle reset clears minor control glitches, but ice production still depends on water flow, freezer temperature, and door sealing. Fixing those basics prevents repeat ice maker problems and slow ice output.

What model Kenmore refrigerator do I have?
If you’re on this Kenmore refrigerator parts page, your refrigerator model is 79573054410. To confirm it on the appliance itself, match the model number on the rating label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment to 79573054410; the 79573054410 owner's manual also lists the model family as 795.7305*.
On Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators like model 79573054410, the model and serial label is typically in one of these spots:
- Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall
- On the door frame (open the fresh food door and look along the inner edge)
- Near the crisper drawers (side wall area)
- Occasionally behind the toe grille or base cover area
Kenmore model numbers usually have a prefix that identifies the manufacturer, followed by the specific model series.
- 795 prefix: commonly associated with Kenmore refrigerators built by LG
- Remaining digits: identify the exact configuration (doors, dispenser, finish, features)
| What you see on the label | What it means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| 79573054410 | Exact match | Use parts and instructions for 79573054410 |
| 795.7305* | Model family shown in the manual | Match your full number to the closest 795.7305xxxx |
| Different prefix (example: 106, 253, 111) | Different Kenmore manufacturer/series | Use the matching series info and parts list |
Using the exact model number ensures you get the right parts (like a water filter, door gasket, or ice maker) and the correct procedures for door alignment, control settings, and troubleshooting.
- Correct parts fit the first time
- Troubleshooting steps match your control panel and features
- Filter and air filter styles vary by series
If you’re troubleshooting and your display shows an error, use Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes to match the code to the right fix.

Why is my Kenmore refrigerator leaking underneath?
Water under a Kenmore 79573054410 bottom-mount refrigerator is usually caused by a defrost drain that’s clogged or frozen, or by a leak in the water supply system for the ice maker and dispenser. We recommend checking the drain path first, then inspecting the inlet valve and tubing.
- Look for ice or standing water on the freezer floor or under the crisper drawers (often points to a defrost drain issue).
- Check the drain pan underneath for cracks, misalignment, or overflow.
- Inspect the water line connection at the back of the refrigerator for slow drips.
- If you hear water hammer (banging pipes), correct it because it can lead to leakage.
- If the ice maker has been turned Off (O) for more than a few hours, empty the ice bin to prevent melting and dispenser leaks.
During normal defrosting, meltwater should flow through a drain and into the drain pan. When that drain clogs or freezes, water can back up and end up leaking underneath.
- Unplug the refrigerator.
- Remove items as needed to access the drain area.
- Melt any visible ice with warm water (not boiling) and clear debris from the drain opening.
- Confirm water can flow freely to the drain pan.
For model-specific access points and cleaning guidance, follow the 79573054410 owner's manual.
A small seep at the valve or a cracked tube can drip down and show up as a puddle under the cabinet.
| What you see | Likely area | What to inspect |
|---|---|---|
| Puddle near back of fridge | Water supply connection | Fitting tightness, tubing condition |
| Puddle after dispensing water/ice | Valve or internal tubing | Valve seepage, tube cracks |
| Leak only when making ice | Ice maker fill circuit | Fill tube alignment, valve operation |
If you suspect the valve, the correct replacement options for this model include the lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601 and the lg refrigerator water inlet valve 5221JB2010G.
Leaks underneath can damage flooring and also lead to icing problems inside the freezer. Fixing the drain or water supply leak quickly helps protect the evaporator area, fan airflow, and ice maker performance.
