Kenmore Elite 79572379312 refrigerator Parts

Kenmore Elite refrigerator warranty length depends on the specific warranty document that came with your refrigerator and the date of purchase; coverage terms can vary by component (sealed system vs. parts vs. labor). For your Kenmore Elite model 79572379312, we use the warranty section in the owner's manual as the most reliable place to confirm the exact term and what is covered.

What to check in your warranty paperwork

Look for these details so you know exactly what protection you have and what proof you need:

• Warranty term (for example, 1 year, 5 years, or longer for certain systems)
• What is covered (parts only vs. parts and labor)
• Sealed system coverage (compressor, condenser, evaporator, filter dryer)
• Exclusions (filters, cosmetic parts, damage from installation or water quality)
• Proof of purchase requirements (receipt, delivery date, registration)

Common coverage breakdown (typical for many refrigerators)

Many refrigerator warranties are structured by component. This table shows the most common pattern customers see:

Component group	Examples	Typical coverage style
Full refrigerator	Lights, shelves, controls, fans	Limited term for defects in materials/workmanship
Sealed system	Compressor, condenser coil, evaporator, filter dryer	Often longer term; sometimes parts-only
Consumables	Water filter, air filter	Often excluded or limited

If you are troubleshooting a cooling issue, it helps to know whether sealed system parts are included. On this model, sealed system-related parts you may see listed include the refrigerator compressor TCA38091801 and refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004.

Why it matters

Warranty terms affect the total cost of a repair. For example, a water filter replacement is usually routine maintenance, while a compressor or condenser repair is a major sealed system job that can be handled very differently under warranty.

Parts and maintenance note

Even when a repair is not covered, we stock common maintenance items for this Kenmore Elite refrigerator, such as the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 and the lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408.

Common problems we see on the Kenmore Elite 79572379312 refrigerator include warm temperatures (cooling loss), ice maker or dispenser trouble, water leaks, and odor or airflow complaints. These issues usually trace back to airflow restrictions, dirty condenser components, worn seals, or a failing fan, filter, or control.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coil, blocked vents, failing evaporator fan motor, or sealed-system/compressor problems
• Ice maker not making ice: clogged water filter, frozen fill tube, low water pressure, or ice maker assembly failure
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged/iced defrost drain, loose water line, or filter head/tubing connection leak
• Bad tastes/odors: overdue water filter, saturated air filter, spills, or poor airflow
• Noisy operation: fan motor wear, ice buildup contacting the fan, or compressor start components acting up

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm temps: set fresh food to 37°F and freezer to 0°F; allow 24 hours to stabilize.
2. Make sure vents are clear (packages and bins can block airflow).
3. Clean dust from the condenser area; heavy lint buildup can cause warm temps and long run times.
4. If the dispenser flow is slow, replace the water filter and flush several gallons.
5. If you hear a grinding or buzzing from the freezer, inspect for frost buildup around the evaporator fan area.

Parts that commonly solve these problems (when symptoms match)

Symptom	Common fix	Example part for model 79572379312
Slow water flow, ice maker issues	Replace water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Odors in fresh food section	Replace air filter	Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
Warm temps, poor heat rejection	Clean or replace condenser components	Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004
Ice dispensing issues	Check auger motor and ice container	Refrigerator auger motor EAU59551204

Why it matters

Most “big” refrigerator failures start as small airflow or water-supply problems. Keeping filters fresh, vents open, and condenser components clean helps the Kenmore Elite 79572379312 cool evenly, make ice reliably, and avoid leaks.

Helpful guides and model-specific references

• Use the owner's manual for control settings, filter replacement intervals, and feature operation.
• If your display shows an error, use Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes to narrow the cause quickly.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator like model 79572379312 typically lasts 10 to 15 years. With steady maintenance (clean airflow, good door sealing, and on-time filter changes), it’s common to reach the upper end of that range before major sealed-system repairs become more likely.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most lifespan differences come down to usage and maintenance, not just brand.

• 10 to 15 years is the normal expectation for a modern refrigerator
• Heavy use (large household, frequent door openings) shortens life
• Poor airflow (dusty condenser area) increases compressor run time
• A weak door seal forces longer run cycles and can cause frosting
• Water and air filter neglect can lead to odors, slow dispensing, and ice issues

Maintenance that helps you reach 15 years

Use these as your baseline care steps; the exact intervals and procedures for your unit are in the 79572379312 owner's manual.

• Keep temperatures steady (avoid frequent setting changes)
• Clean dust from the condenser area regularly
• Make sure doors close fully and gaskets seal all the way around
• Replace filters on schedule to reduce strain on the dispenser system
• Avoid overpacking; leave space for air circulation in both compartments

Common “maintenance parts” for this model

Maintenance item	What it helps prevent	Example part for 79572379312
Water filter	Slow water flow, bad taste, ice quality issues	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Air filter	Odors and stale air	Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
Water filter bypass	Testing flow or running temporarily without a filter	Refrigerator water filter bypass ABN73019101

Signs your refrigerator is nearing end-of-life

These symptoms often show up more as a unit ages, especially after the 10-year mark.

• Compressor runs almost constantly and temperatures still drift
• Repeated warm-freezer or warm-fridge episodes
• Loud fan noise that returns soon after cleaning
• Water dispenser flow stays weak even after filter replacement
• Ice maker performance becomes inconsistent

Why it matters

Knowing the typical lifespan helps you decide whether to invest in repairs (like a control board, fan motor, or ice maker) versus focusing on lower-cost maintenance that keeps cooling performance stable.

Your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label; on model 79572379312, that label is typically inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall) or inside the freezer. Use the full model number exactly as shown when looking up parts and manuals.

Where to find the model number label

Check these common label locations on Kenmore Elite refrigerators:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left or right side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the lights
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall or rear wall
• Behind the lower crisper drawers (on the back wall)
• Along the door frame area (visible when the door is open)
• Behind the front kick plate or lower grille (if your design uses one)

What to write down from the label

To match parts correctly, copy the information exactly (including all digits):

Label item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Finds the correct parts list and diagrams	79572379312
Serial number	Identifies production run and date code	Letters and numbers
Electrical ratings	Helps confirm correct components	Volts/amps

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

Small differences in model numbers can change the water filter, ice maker, or control board used.

• Use the complete model number, not just “Kenmore Elite 795”
• If the label is smudged, take a clear photo and zoom in
• Match parts by model first, then confirm by part name and part ID
• For water and ice issues, confirm the filter type before buying (for example, genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801)

Why it matters

Kenmore Elite refrigerators often share similar styling across multiple model families, but internal components like the refrigerator water filter, refrigerator ice maker, and electronic control board can vary by model and revision. Using the exact model number keeps troubleshooting and part selection accurate.

For diagrams and model-specific identification details, use the 79572379312 manual.
