Kenmore 79571302010 refrigerator Parts

Common problems we see on Kenmore Elite refrigerators like model 79571302010 are poor cooling, frost buildup, water leaks, and unusual noises. Many issues trace back to airflow problems (dirty condenser coils, blocked vents), doors not sealing, or ice maker and water supply components.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coils, doors not closing fully, evaporator fan issues, or control settings needing adjustment
• Frost or ice crystals on food: door opened often, door not sealing, or warm air leaking into the freezer
• Water puddles or dripping: clogged/iced drain path, drain tube issues, or defrost water not flowing correctly
• Ice maker problems (no ice, small cubes, off taste): new installation purge needed, old ice, water quality, or water inlet valve problems
• Buzzing/clicking noises: condenser fan area, compressor start components, or vibration from an unlevel cabinet

Quick checks we recommend first (safe DIY)

1. Confirm doors close and seal tightly. The manual notes that doors not closing completely can make the motor work harder and reduce cooling. See the door alignment and closing steps in the 79571302010 owner's manual.
2. Clean the condenser coils. Dirty coils reduce heat transfer and commonly cause warm temps.
3. Give it time after plugging in. This model can take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
4. Reduce door openings and make sure packages are not blocking the door.
5. If you smell odors or ice tastes bad, dump old ice and clean the ice bin and interior.

Parts that commonly relate to these symptoms

Symptom	Part to suspect	Example part for this model
Interior light stays off or door alarm behavior seems wrong	Door switch	Lg refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A
Water/ice dispensing issues	Water inlet valve	Refrigerator water valve (match by model)
Leaks near bottom or inside	Drain components	Refrigerator drain tube (match by model)

Why it matters

Cooling, frost, and leak complaints often share the same root cause: airflow and sealing. Fixing door alignment, cleaning coils, and keeping vents clear prevents food spoilage, reduces compressor run time, and helps the ice maker work consistently.

On Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79571302010, leaking underneath is most often caused by defrost water missing the drain path (a clogged or frozen defrost drain) or by water supply issues that let water drip into the base area. Use the steps below and confirm access points in the 79571302010 owner's manual.

Most common causes (and what to check first)

• Defrost drain clogged or frozen: Water backs up and can run down into the cabinet base and onto the floor.
• Drain pan shifted, cracked, or overflowing: During defrost, water should collect in the pan and evaporate.
• Water line or valve seepage: A slow drip at the supply connection or valve can pool under the refrigerator.
• Ice maker fill area leaking: A misdirected fill stream or ice buildup can melt and travel down.

Quick troubleshooting steps

1. Unplug the refrigerator before inspecting or clearing ice (basic safety step).
2. Look for ice or debris at the drain opening inside the fresh food section (rear bottom area). Flush with warm water until it flows freely.
3. Inspect the drain pan underneath for cracks and make sure it is seated correctly.
4. Check the water supply connection and tubing for moisture; tighten fittings gently (do not overtighten).
5. If the leak appears tied to ice maker operation, inspect the fill area and consider replacing the valve if it seeps.

Parts that commonly relate to leaks on this model

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for 79571302010
Water after defrost cycle	Drain path	Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D
Water near back/bottom with ice maker connected	Water inlet system	Refrigerator water valve AJU55759303

Why it matters

Water under a refrigerator can damage flooring and can also lead to ice buildup in the freezer drawer area. Fixing the drain path or a small water inlet seep early usually prevents repeat leaks and bigger cleanup.

If your Kenmore refrigerator model 79571302010 is warmer at the bottom, the most common causes are restricted airflow (blocked vents or overpacked shelves), temperature controls needing adjustment, or a cooling system issue such as dirty condenser coils or a weak fan. Start with airflow and control settings first.

Quick checks that fix most “warm bottom” complaints

• Make sure the top air vents inside the fresh food section are not blocked by food containers.
• Avoid packing items tightly against the back wall; leave space for air to circulate down and return.
• Confirm both fresh food doors close fully; a door left slightly open can warm the lower area.
• Adjust the refrigerator control one step colder, then wait 24 hours before changing anything again.
• Clean dust and pet hair from the condenser coil area (typically underneath or behind the unit).

Airflow matters on this model

This refrigerator is designed to move cold air from the freezer up into the refrigerator, then return air out at the bottom back to the freezer. When the return path is blocked, the bottom area often warms first.

What to look for

Symptom	Most likely cause	Best first step
Top feels OK, bottom is warm	Air return blocked by food	Reorganize shelves for airflow
Whole refrigerator is warm	Dirty condenser coils or fan issue	Clean coils; listen for fans
Temperature swings	Controls set too warm or doors not sealing	Adjust controls; check door closure

Parts that can contribute (when basics do not solve it)

If airflow and settings are correct and temperatures still do not recover, a failed fan or defrost-related issue can prevent proper circulation.

• Evaporator fan not moving air through the compartments
• Frost buildup restricting airflow
• Door switch not signaling the control that the door is closed

For door-related cooling problems, we often see issues tied to the lg refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A (light and fan behavior can change when the switch fails).

Why it matters

A warm bottom section can push food above safe temperatures even if the top shelf feels cold. Restoring airflow and stable control settings helps the Multi-Flow cooling system keep consistent temperatures throughout.

For model-specific control guidance and airflow diagrams, use the 79571302010 owner's manual.

Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79571302010 is in the 795.7130 series; the exact exterior dimensions and capacity are listed in the product specifications section of the 79571302010 owner's manual. Use those published measurements for kitchen cutout and doorway planning.

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

When we help customers plan fit, we focus on these measurements:

• Width (cabinet side to side)
• Height (floor to top hinge cover or highest point)
• Depth without handles (cabinet to front of doors)
• Depth with handles (overall projection into the room)
• Door swing clearance (space needed to open doors and pull drawers)

How to get the exact size for model 79571302010

Use the manual specs first, then verify with a tape measure on your unit.

Best source	What you get	When to use it
79571302010 owner's manual	Official dimensions, clearances, and installation notes	Planning a cutout or replacement
Tape measure on your refrigerator	Real-world size including any floor variation	Confirming fit through doorways

Why it matters

A refrigerator can match the opening width but still be a poor fit if the doors cannot open far enough to remove bins, or if there is not enough clearance for airflow and water line routing for the ice maker.

Quick fit checklist

• Compare the manual’s published width, height, and depth to your kitchen opening
• Allow extra space for door swing and drawer pull-out
• Confirm you can move it through entry doors and hallways
• Leave slack in the water line so the unit can slide out for service
