Kenmore 79571312310 refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore refrigerator model 79571312310, the most commonly listed overall dimensions are about 33 in. wide x 31 in. deep x 67.75 in. high (W x D x H). For the exact cabinet and door-clearance measurements, use the 79571312310 owner's manual.

What “size” usually means (and what to measure)

When customers ask for “size,” it can mean a few different things. We recommend checking:

• Overall width (side-to-side at the widest point)
• Overall height (floor to top of hinge cover)
• Overall depth (front of doors to back, including handles if installed)
• Door swing clearance (space needed to fully open doors)
• Capacity (cubic feet, not a physical measurement)

Quick reference measurements

Use this as a planning guide for fit and clearance.

Measurement	Typical value for 79571312310	Why you need it
Width	~33 in.	Cabinet opening and side clearance
Depth	~31 in.	Counter depth planning and walkway space
Height	~67.75 in.	Overhead cabinet clearance

Why it matters

A refrigerator that “fits” by width can still bind on doors or hit cabinets if depth and swing clearance are tight. Confirming the exact depth (with handles) helps avoid installation surprises and protects door seals.

Ice on the freezer floor is almost always caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain; during defrost, water cannot flow to the drain pan so it refreezes at the bottom. On Kenmore model 79571312310, start by clearing the drain path and confirming the freezer is sealing and draining correctly using the 79571312310 owner's manual.

What to check first (fast, common fixes)

• Unplug the refrigerator before working inside the freezer.
• Remove the freezer drawer/bins and look for a sheet of ice on the floor.
• Find the drain opening under/near the evaporator cover; melt the ice with warm water.
• Flush the drain with hot water (a turkey baster works well) until it flows freely.
• Clean the drain trough so debris cannot re-clog the opening.
• Confirm the door closes fully and the gasket is not folded or torn.

Step-by-step: clear a clogged defrost drain

1. Empty the freezer bottom area and protect the floor with towels.
2. Melt the ice buildup at the bottom so you can access the drain area.
3. Flush the drain opening with hot water; repeat until you hear/see water reaching the drain pan.
4. If it re-freezes quickly, check for air leaks (door not sealing) or a drain that is still partially restricted.

Helpful flush mix

A common approach is a small amount of baking soda dissolved in hot water to help break up residue.

Parts that can contribute if the problem keeps returning

If the drain is clear but ice keeps coming back, we look for conditions that create excess frost or poor airflow.

Symptom	Most likely cause	What we do next
Ice returns every few days	Drain partially restricted or freezing at the opening	Re-flush, verify drain tube routing and insulation
Heavy frost on back wall	Door leak or defrost issue	Check gasket seal, then defrost system components
Warm freezer, fan noise changes	Airflow problem	Inspect evaporator area and fan operation

If you suspect a defrost control issue, a failed sensor can prevent proper defrost cycling; on this model, the refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005N is one component that can affect defrost performance.

Why it matters

A blocked defrost drain can cause recurring ice sheets, freezer drawer sticking, water leaks, and temperature swings that stress the compressor and reduce food quality.

Kenmore Elite refrigerators, including Kenmore model 79571312310, most often have cooling problems, ice maker and water dispenser issues, frost buildup from defrost or airflow trouble, and unusual noises from fans or the sealed system. We use the symptoms to narrow the likely part and the safest next check.

Most common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coil, failed evaporator fan motor, temperature sensor issue, or compressor/start device trouble
• Frost buildup or freezer icing: defrost sensor problem, restricted airflow, or door not sealing/closing fully
• No ice or slow ice production: water inlet valve not opening fully, ice maker assembly failure, or low water supply pressure
• Buzzing, clicking, or humming: evaporator fan noise, compressor overload cycling, or compressor problems
• Water leaks or puddles: clogged/iced defrost drain, loose water line, or dispenser/ice maker fill leak

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm temperatures: set fresh food near 37°F and freezer near 0°F; allow 24 hours to stabilize.
2. Check airflow: make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Listen for the evaporator fan: a steady fan sound in the freezer area is normal; grinding or silence can indicate a fan issue.
4. Inspect door closing and gaskets: a door left slightly open can cause frost and temperature swings.
5. If the issue is ice/water: verify the household shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.

Parts that commonly solve these problems on model 79571312310

Symptom	Common suspect part	Example part for this model
Warm fridge/freezer, weak airflow	Evaporator fan motor	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C
No ice or slow fill	Water inlet valve	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU73753101
Clicking/buzzing at compressor area	Overload protector	Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D
Frost/defrost issues	Defrost sensor	Refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005N

Error codes and model-specific guidance

If your display shows an error code, match it to the troubleshooting steps first; that often prevents replacing the wrong part. Use Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes along with the wiring and diagnostic info in the 79571312310 owner's manual.

Why it matters

Cooling, frost, and ice maker symptoms overlap. A simple airflow restriction can look like a compressor failure, and a weak water inlet valve can look like a bad ice maker. Checking the basics first saves time and prevents unnecessary part returns.
