How many cubic feet is my Kenmore refrigerator model 79571099110?
The exact cubic-foot capacity for Kenmore refrigerator model 79571099110 is listed on the model’s specification information in the owner's manual. For Kenmore 795 bottom-mount refrigerators, capacity is typically in the 20 to 22 cu. ft. range, but the manual is the right place to confirm your exact number.
Where to find the exact capacity (fastest options)
Use these common places to confirm cubic feet for model 79571099110:
- Check the specifications section in the owner's manual
- Look for a model and serial tag inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall)
- If your tag lists total volume in liters, convert to cubic feet (see table below)
- If you are comparing to a replacement unit, measure usable space (shelves and bins reduce usable volume)
Quick conversion table (liters to cubic feet)
If your label or manual lists liters, this gets you to cubic feet quickly.
| If you see this (liters) | Approx. cubic feet |
|---|---|
| 566 L | 20.0 cu. ft. |
| 594 L | 21.0 cu. ft. |
| 623 L | 22.0 cu. ft. |
Why the “795” prefix does not equal capacity
The 795 at the start of your Kenmore model number identifies the manufacturing source used for many Kenmore refrigerators; it does not tell you the refrigerator’s size. Capacity varies by the exact configuration (bottom freezer layout, ice maker, dispenser, and interior design).

How to reset Kenmore bottom freezer ice maker?
On Kenmore model 79571099110, the ice maker is typically “reset” by power-cycling the refrigerator and then forcing a harvest cycle (if your ice maker has a test/diagnostic button). Start with a full refrigerator reset, then confirm water supply and ice maker fill so it can resume normal ice production.
Quick reset steps (safe, no tools)
- Turn the ice maker OFF (switch or arm, depending on your style).
- Unplug the refrigerator or switch OFF the breaker for 5 minutes.
- Restore power, then wait 1 to 2 minutes for controls to stabilize.
- Turn the ice maker ON.
- Allow 12 to 24 hours for a full bin of ice after a reset.
If it still will not make ice
Most “no ice” issues after a reset come down to water flow, freezing, or a failed component.
- Replace the water filter if it is overdue; a restricted filter can stop or slow ice maker fill. Use genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.
- If you are troubleshooting with the filter removed, install the refrigerator water filter bypass ABN73019101 so water flow is not blocked.
- Check for a kinked or frozen water line; the supply line inside the cabinet may need inspection (see refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602).
- If the ice maker cycles but does not fill with water, test the inlet valve (common failure point); see lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601.
- If the ice maker is not cycling at all, the assembly itself can be the issue; see refrigerator ice maker assembly AEQ73110205.
What to expect after a reset
| What you see | What it usually means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Ice maker cycles, no water enters | Water supply or inlet valve issue | Check shutoff valve, filter/bypass, then inlet valve |
| Water enters, no ice forms | Freezer too warm | Set freezer to 0°F, check door seal and airflow |
| Ice forms but will not dispense | Dispenser/auger issue | Inspect bin, chute, and auger motor |
Why it matters
Resetting clears a control glitch, but it does not fix low water flow, a clogged filter, or a failing inlet valve. Confirming fill and temperature prevents repeated “no ice” symptoms and protects the ice maker from running dry.
For model-specific control locations and ice maker features, use the owner's manual for 79571099110. If you need to order parts beyond the items listed here, search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

What is a bottom mount refrigerator?
A bottom-mount refrigerator (like your Kenmore 79571099110) has the freezer compartment on the bottom and the fresh-food section on top, so everyday items sit at eye level and you bend less for refrigerated groceries. For layout and feature details, use the 79571099110 owner's manual.
How a bottom-mount design is set up
- Fresh-food compartment is on top for frequent access.
- Freezer is a pull-out drawer or lower door.
- Crisper drawers and deli storage are typically in the upper section.
- Airflow is managed between compartments to keep temperatures stable.
- Many models include an ice maker and water dispenser options.
Bottom-mount vs. top-freezer: quick comparison
| Feature | Bottom-mount refrigerator | Top-freezer refrigerator |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh-food access | Higher, easier reach | Lower, more bending |
| Freezer access | Lower drawer/door | Upper door |
| Best for | Fresh-food heavy use | Freezer heavy use |
| Typical storage feel | Wider shelves, more organization | Simple, traditional layout |
Why it matters when troubleshooting or buying parts
The bottom-freezer layout affects where you’ll find common service areas (like the ice maker, water filter, and door switches) and which parts you may need for symptoms such as warm temperatures, no ice, or dispenser issues.
If you’re ordering maintenance parts for this model, common examples include the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 and the refrigerator ice maker assembly AEQ73110205. You can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Why is my Kenmore refrigerator leaking underneath?
If your Kenmore 79571099110 bottom-mount refrigerator is leaking underneath, the usual causes are a clogged or frozen defrost drain, a cracked or overflowing drain pan, or a slow water leak from the filter, tubing, or inlet valve. Start by identifying whether the water appears after defrosting or after ice maker or dispenser use.
Quick checks (fast way to narrow it down)
- Look for ice or water on the freezer floor (points to a defrost drain issue).
- Check whether the puddle is under the front (often drain related) or under the back (often water line related).
- Inspect the drain pan for cracks and for proper seating.
- Look for drips at the filter head and tubing connections.
- Note if leaking happens right after dispensing water or during ice maker fill.
Most likely causes and what to do
1) Defrost drain clogged or frozen
Meltwater backs up, refreezes, then spills into the base.
- Unplug the refrigerator.
- Access the drain area and flush with warm water.
- Clear debris with a soft pipe cleaner.
- Confirm water flows freely to the drain pan.
2) Drain pan cracked or overflowing
Overflow usually follows a restricted drain; cracks cause constant seepage.
- Pull the unit forward.
- Inspect the pan for splits and warping.
- Clean the pan and reinstall it fully seated.
3) Water system leak (filter, tubing, valve)
Leaks often show up under the back and may be intermittent.
- Reseat or replace the filter: genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.
- Replace damaged line: refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602.
- Replace a seeping valve: lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601.
Symptom-to-cause guide
| What you notice | Most likely cause | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Water under front | Defrost drain backing up | Clear and flush drain |
| Water under back | Tubing or inlet valve leak | Inspect fittings, replace leaking part |
| Leak after filter change | Filter not seated | Reseat, then replace filter if needed |
| On and off puddles | Ice maker fill leak or drain freeze | Check valve and drain |
Why it matters
Stopping the leak prevents floor damage and helps avoid ice buildup and odors caused by standing water.
For model-specific access points and disassembly guidance, use the owner's manual. You can order parts from the parts list for model 79571099110 or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.
