How many cubic feet is my Kenmore refrigerator model 79551312012?
Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 79551312012 has a total capacity of 25.2 cubic feet. You can also confirm the exact capacity on the model and serial label inside the fresh food compartment and in the 79551312012 owner's manual.
Where to confirm the 25.2 cu. ft. capacity
Use these quick checks when you need the number for planning, moving, or comparing models.
- Check the specifications section in the 79551312012 owner's manual.
- Find the model and serial label inside the refrigerator section (commonly on a side wall).
- Look for wording such as “Total capacity” or “Total volume.”
- If the label lists separate volumes, add refrigerator + freezer for the total.
- Match the full model number 79551312012 exactly.
Capacity breakdown (how it is typically shown)
Manufacturers usually list capacity in one of these formats.
| How capacity is listed | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Total capacity only | Combined refrigerator + freezer volume | Use the total number (25.2 cu. ft.) |
| Separate refrigerator and freezer capacities | Individual compartment volumes | Add them to confirm the total |
Why it matters
Knowing the exact cubic feet helps when comparing side-by-side refrigerators, planning grocery storage, and choosing correctly fitting storage components such as bins and drawers.

What model Kenmore refrigerator do I have?
Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. On Kenmore side-by-side models like 79551312012, the label is usually inside the fresh food compartment or freezer compartment, or on the cabinet frame behind a door. Use the 79551312012 owner's manual to confirm the exact label location and how the number is formatted.
Where to look for the model number label
Check these common spots first (in order):
- Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (often near the top)
- On the cabinet frame just inside the door opening (hinge side)
- Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall
- Behind the lower crisper drawers (on the back wall)
- Behind the toe grille or kick plate at the bottom front
What the label looks like and what to write down
The rating label typically includes several identifiers. We recommend writing down all of these:
- Model number (example format: 795.51312012 or 79551312012)
- Serial number (used to identify production date and revision)
- Electrical ratings (volts/amps) and sometimes refrigerant type
Quick ID checklist
| Item | Why we need it | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures correct parts fit | 79551312012 |
| Serial number | Helps match revisions and production runs | (varies) |
| Brand | Confirms product family | Kenmore |
Why it matters
Kenmore model numbers can look similar across different refrigerator families, and a single digit difference can change the correct ice maker, water reservoir, door gasket, or control board. Using the exact model number helps us match the right parts and troubleshooting steps the first time.

Why is my Kenmore refrigerator not dispensing ice?
If your Kenmore refrigerator model 79551312012 is not dispensing ice, the most common causes are a jammed ice bin or chute, a frozen/clumped ice load, or a dispenser-side failure (motor, door, or control). Start by clearing jams and confirming the ice maker is producing ice normally. See the 79551312012 owner's manual for dispenser and ice system checks.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Make sure the ice bin is fully seated and not overfilled with clumped ice.
- Break up ice clumps and remove any cubes stuck at the dispenser opening.
- Confirm the freezer is cold enough for solid cubes (target about 0°F).
- Check that the dispenser is not locked (control lock can disable dispensing).
- Listen for the dispenser motor when you press the paddle; no sound often points to a dispenser-side issue.
Likely causes and what they look like
| What you notice | Most likely cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Ice maker makes ice, but nothing comes out | Ice jam in bin or chute | Empty bin, clear chute, reload fresh ice |
| You hear a motor hum but ice does not move | Auger stripped or jammed | Inspect auger area; replace motor if weak |
| No motor sound when dispensing | Dispenser control or door motor issue | Check wiring and controls; test components |
| Cubes are wet and refreeze into a block | Freezer temp swings or frequent door opening | Set temp, keep bin level, dump clumped ice |
Parts that commonly fix “no ice dispensing”
If the ice maker is producing ice but the dispenser will not push it out, these model-matched parts are common fixes:
- Refrigerator auger motor EAU59551204 (drives the auger to move ice through the bin)
- Refrigerator dispenser control board EBR61526804 (controls dispenser functions)
Why it matters
When ice cannot dispense, the auger system often stalls and ice clumps get worse. Clearing the jam and restoring normal auger operation prevents repeated blockages and reduces strain on dispenser components.
