How do I find my Kenmore 79572193310 model number?
Your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model number 79572193310 is printed on the appliance identification label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. On this model, the label is on the interior liner, so you can read it without pulling the refrigerator out.
- Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door and look along the inside walls (the liner)
- Check the side wall near the crisper drawers
- Look near the top area inside the compartment, behind or beside shelves
- If you see a label with both Model and Serial, that is the correct tag
The identification label typically includes:
- Model number (you want 79572193310)
- Serial number
- Electrical ratings (volts/amps)
- Brand name (Kenmore Elite)
| What you need | Why you need it | Where it’s found |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures you get the right parts and diagrams | Interior liner of the refrigerator compartment |
| Serial number | Helps match production details for some parts | Same label as the model number |
Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong refrigerator water filter, door gasket, ice maker assembly, or control board. Even small model-number differences can change part fit and wiring.
Once you find the label, write the model number exactly as shown (including all digits). Then use the parts list for model 79572193310 and confirm part IDs before ordering. For example, common maintenance items include the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.
For more details on where the identification label is located and how to record it, check the 79572193310 owner's manual.

What is the average lifespan of a Kenmore 79572193310 refrigerator?
A Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572193310 typically lasts 10 to 15 years. Regular maintenance (especially keeping airflow clear and doors sealing properly) helps it reach the high end of that range and reduces the chance of expensive sealed-system or compressor-related repairs. See the owner's manual for model-specific care and troubleshooting guidance.
Most refrigerators fall into a predictable lifespan range, but real-world results depend heavily on operating conditions.
- Maintenance habits: cleaning dust buildup, keeping vents clear, and replacing filters on schedule
- Door seal condition: worn gaskets cause longer run times and temperature swings
- Room temperature and ventilation: hot locations and tight clearances increase compressor run time
- Usage patterns: frequent door openings and warm food loads add stress
- Water and ice system health: restricted filters or low water flow can cause dispenser and ice maker issues
The manual notes that modern, high-efficiency compressors can run longer than older refrigerators, and that clogged condenser areas can increase run time. Practical upkeep makes a measurable difference.
- Vacuum dust from the condenser area and rear cover vents (unplug first)
- Keep doors closing fully; avoid packages blocking the door
- Confirm the refrigerator has clearance so it cannot vibrate against a wall or cabinet
- Replace the water filter on schedule to maintain flow and reduce strain on the water system
- After moving the refrigerator, let it stand upright 24 hours before powering on
| What you notice | Common cause | What to do first |
|---|---|---|
| Runs “all the time” | Hot room, frequent openings, clogged condenser area | Improve airflow, clean dust, reduce door openings |
| Temps rise during defrost | Normal operation | Wait about 30 minutes after defrost ends |
| Doors pop open or won’t close | Bins/shelves out of position, food blocking | Re-seat bins and rearrange items |
| Weak water flow | Clogged filter | Replace filter and flush lines |
Once a refrigerator is past the 10-year mark, preventing long run times (heat, dust, poor seals) is the best way to protect the cooling system and avoid high-cost repairs.

Kenmore-branded refrigerators frequently use OEM parts from the company that built the unit. That is normal and helps ensure fit and function when you replace items like the water filter, ice maker, or water inlet valve.
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Kenmore Elite on the door | Retail brand | Use the Kenmore model number to look up parts |
| LG shown in part names | OEM-supplied components | Order parts that match the model parts list |
| 795 model prefix | OEM family identifier | Use it to narrow the correct diagrams and parts |
These common service parts for this model are listed with LG component naming, which aligns with LG being the OEM for many 795-prefix Kenmore refrigerators:

What are the common problems with Kenmore 79572193310 refrigerators?
Common issues we see with the Kenmore Elite 79572193310 refrigerator are weak or uneven cooling, frost buildup from defrost problems, doors that do not seal or close correctly, ice maker or dispenser troubles, water leaks, and unusual noises. Many symptoms improve with basic maintenance and correct temperature and door settings in the 79572193310 owner's manual.
- Food freezing in the fresh food section: items placed near air vents or the refrigerator control set too cold.
- Frost or ice crystals on food: frequent door openings, warm humid air entering, or temperature set too cold.
- Doors pop open or will not close: packages blocking the door, bins or shelves out of position, or the refrigerator not leveled.
- Hard-to-open doors: normal air pressure equalization after closing; dirty or sticky gaskets can also contribute.
- Ice maker or water dispenser issues: commonly tied to filter restriction, water supply problems, tubing kinks, or a failing inlet valve.
- Confirm door closure: clear packages from the door path and push bins and drawers fully into place.
- Check temperature settings: adjust only one increment at a time, then wait for temperatures to stabilize.
- Reduce door-open time: frequent or long openings raise moisture and can cause frost and poor ice production.
- Inspect gaskets: clean sticky gaskets and the surfaces they touch; a thin coat of kitchen wax after cleaning can help.
- Verify room temperature: operating in very cold locations can cause food to freeze in the refrigerator compartment.
| Symptom | Common part to check | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Slow water flow, bad taste/odor, dispenser issues | Water filter | Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 |
| No water to ice maker/dispenser, intermittent fill | Water inlet valve | Refrigerator water inlet valve AJU74532703 |
| Door not sealing, moisture, frost | Door gasket | Refrigerator door gasket, left ADX72930460 or refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461 |
Cooling, ice, and leak complaints often come from airflow, moisture, and door sealing. Fixing door alignment and gasket sealing reduces frost, stabilizes temperatures, and helps the ice maker keep up.
