Kenmore 79579993510 refrigerator Parts

Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79579993510 has a total capacity of 21.7 cubic feet. You can also confirm the capacity on the refrigerator’s rating label and in the 79579993510 owner's manual.

• Open the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment.
• Look along the side walls near the crisper drawers for the rating label.
• Find the line for total capacity (often shown in cu. ft.).
• Verify the model number on the label matches 79579993510 exactly.

Knowing the exact cubic feet helps when you are comparing replacement refrigerators, planning kitchen fit, and choosing accessories that match the design of your Kenmore unit (such as filtration and storage components).

If you are refreshing performance and odors, these are common replacements:

• Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 (water taste, flow, ice quality)
• Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408 (odor control)

On Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79579993510, we reset the ice maker by cycling the ice maker setting at the control panel. This model also supports an Ultra Ice boost mode (started by holding the Ice Maker button for 3 seconds), which can help increase ice production after a reset.

• Turn Control Lock off if it is enabled (hold Control Lock for about 3 seconds).
• Press the Ice Maker button to switch the ice maker OFF.
• Wait about 30 seconds.
• Press the Ice Maker button again to switch it ON.
• Give the refrigerator time to recover; normal ice output typically stabilizes within 12 to 24 hours.

Ultra Ice is a production boost, not required for a basic reset; it is useful after heavy use.

• Make sure the in-door ice bin is fully seated and not jammed with uneven ice.
• Confirm the freezer is set cold enough; most bottom-freezer units run best near 0°F.
• Replace a restricted water filter; this model uses the refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.
• After changing the filter, reset the filter indicator by holding Water Filter for 3 seconds.
• Dispense several glasses of water to purge air from the water line.

Cycling the ice maker setting clears many “stuck” conditions (full-bin sensing, paused harvest, or interrupted fill). Water flow restrictions from a clogged filter can also stop ice production even when cooling is normal.

Most Kenmore refrigerators, including the Kenmore 79579993510 bottom-mount style, last 10 to 15 years. With consistent maintenance (clean airflow, tight door seals, and timely part replacement), it’s common to reach the upper end of that range before major sealed-system repairs become more likely; see the 79579993510 owner's manual for care guidance.

Refrigerators most often get replaced when cooling performance drops or repair costs rise due to sealed-system issues.

• 10 to 15 years: typical service life for most modern refrigerators
• 8 to 12 years: more common when maintenance is skipped (dirty condenser, poor ventilation)
• 15+ years: achievable with good airflow, stable temperatures, and prompt repairs
• Major cost drivers: compressor, evaporator, refrigerant-related components

These actions reduce run time, prevent overheating, and help the compressor avoid early wear.

• Vacuum dust from the condenser area and keep rear/bottom vents clear
• Keep doors closing squarely; avoid overloading door bins
• Set stable temps (avoid frequent warm-ups from “max cold” cycling)
• Replace filters on schedule to protect valves and ice maker flow
• Fix small issues early (rattling fan, warm spots, recurring frost)

If performance is slipping, these model-matched parts are often involved:

• Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004 (restricted airflow and poor heat release)
• Refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461 (air leaks and frost)
• Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801 (no/weak cooling, loud start attempts)

A refrigerator that runs hotter or longer than normal uses more electricity and stresses the sealed system. Simple airflow and sealing maintenance often delays expensive repairs and helps food stay at safe temperatures.

On Kenmore refrigerator model 79579993510, water leaking underneath is typically caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain, an overflowing or cracked drain pan, or a slow leak in the ice maker or dispenser water supply. Use the 79579993510 owner's manual to locate the drain path and access panels.

• Look for water or a sheet of ice on the bottom of the fresh food compartment.
• Pull the unit forward and inspect the floor for a trail from the back.
• Check the drain pan underneath for cracks, tipping, or overflow.
• Inspect the rear water line connection and shutoff valve for seepage.
• Check the water filter area for drips after dispensing.

1. Unplug the refrigerator.
2. Remove bins/shelves as needed to reach the rear interior floor and drain opening.
3. Melt ice with warm water (not boiling) and clear the drain with a pipe cleaner.
4. Flush with warm water until it drains freely into the pan.

If the leak is at the filter connection or right after dispensing, replace the filter with the correct part for this model, such as genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.

Leaks can damage flooring and can also lead to recurring ice buildup that blocks airflow and affects cooling.
