Kenmore 79551819410 refrigerator Parts

To replace the water filter in your Kenmore 79551819410 side-by-side refrigerator, open the filter cover, remove the old filter by pulling it down and out, then push the new filter in with the tabs horizontal and rotate it up until the cover clicks closed. Use the steps in the owner's manual for the exact sequence.

• Put a cup under the filter cover area; about 1 oz (25 cc) of water can drain when you remove the filter.
• Press the push button to open the water filter cover.
• Pull the old filter downward, then pull it straight out (rotate it fully down before pulling it out).
• Unwrap the new filter and remove the protective cover from the O-rings.
• Insert the new filter with the tabs in the horizontal position; push it into the manifold until it stops.
• Rotate the filter up into position and close the cover; it should click when fully closed.

After installing the new filter, flush 2.5 gallons of water (about 5 minutes total) to clear trapped air and loose carbon.

Use this cycle to avoid overloading the system:

• 30 seconds dispensing (ON)
• 60 seconds pause (OFF)
• Repeat until you reach about 2.5 gallons

If your filter indicator is on, reset it after the filter change:

• Press and hold Filter Reset for 3 seconds to turn the indicator off.

For Kenmore 79551819410, the replacement filter listed for this model is the Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9490 ADQ73613402.

A properly installed and flushed water filter helps protect the water inlet valve and dispenser tubing, improves taste and flow, and helps your ice maker produce normal-size cubes. Most households replace the filter about every 6 months, or sooner if water flow drops.

You typically cannot calculate cubic feet from the Kenmore model number alone. For Kenmore model 795.51819410, the most reliable way is to look up the capacity in the specifications section of the owner's manual, or measure the usable interior space and calculate it.

• Check the specifications or features pages in the owner's manual.
• Look for a rating label inside the fresh food compartment (often lists capacity or total volume).
• If you still want to calculate it, measure the interior (not the outside cabinet).

1. Measure the inside width, inside height, and inside depth of the refrigerator compartment in inches.
2. Multiply: width × height × depth = cubic inches.
3. Divide by 1,728 to convert cubic inches to cubic feet.

• Measure the largest usable box inside the compartment.
• Exclude door bins, shelves thickness, and curved walls.
• For a side-by-side, calculate fresh food and freezer separately, then add them.

Capacity is based on usable interior volume, not exterior dimensions. Using outside measurements (like cabinet depth and height) can overstate cubic feet because insulation, walls, and built-in components take up space.

On Kenmore model 79551819410, the model number is printed on the identification label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, on the interior liner. You can confirm the exact label location and what the label looks like in the owner's manual.

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door
• Look along the interior liner walls (typically near the upper side wall)
• Check near the crisper drawer area if you do not see it up high
• Use a flashlight; the label can be small and easy to miss
• Write down both the model and serial number exactly as shown

The identification label typically includes both a model number and a serial number. Use this quick guide when you are reading it:

We use the model number to match your refrigerator to the correct parts diagrams and compatible replacement parts. That helps avoid ordering the wrong item when you are shopping for parts like a water filter, door gasket, or ice maker components.

Once you have the model number, match it to the parts list for 79551819410 before you buy. Common maintenance items for this model include the Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9490 ADQ73613402.

If the ice maker on your Kenmore 79551819410 side-by-side refrigerator isn’t making ice, the most common causes are the icemaker being turned off, a blocked shutoff arm or sensor, low water pressure, a kinked water line, or a clogged filter. Use the checks below, then confirm settings in the owner's manual.

• Make sure the icemaker ON/OFF switch is set to ON (I).
• Confirm the freezer is cold enough; after a power outage or install, allow up to 24 hours to start making ice.
• Verify all refrigerator doors close fully; ice production stops if a door is left open.
• Check the ice shutoff arm or electronic sensor area; clear frost or anything blocking it.
• If the ice bin is empty, wait; once emptied, it can take about 90 minutes to get more ice and about 24 hours to refill the bin.

Your refrigerator needs adequate water pressure to fill the icemaker.

• If you use reverse osmosis, it can drop pressure enough to cause icemaker issues.
• Straighten any kinked tubing behind the refrigerator (kinks often happen after cleaning or moving).
• Make sure the household shutoff valve is fully open.

If the water supply is good and the icemaker is on, these parts are frequent fixes:

• Replace an exhausted filter: Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9490 ADQ73613402
• If the valve is weak or clogged: refrigerator water inlet valve 5221JA2006M
• If the icemaker is not filling due to freezing or drainage issues, check for ice buildup and clear it; persistent puddles or ice can point to a drain issue such as the refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D

Low water flow and warm freezer temperatures do not just stop ice production; they also cause small cubes, slow refill times, and dispenser clogs. Fixing the water supply and door sealing first prevents repeat failures and unnecessary part replacement.
