Kenmore Elite 79572063315 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore Elite model 79572063315, dH (often shown as Er dH) points to a defrost heating problem: the refrigerator is not warming the evaporator enough during the defrost cycle, so frost can build up and airflow can drop. Confirm the exact code meaning in the 79572063315 owner's manual.

What you’ll usually notice

• Freezer temperature slowly rises or swings
• Frost or ice buildup on the back wall of the freezer
• Refrigerator section warms because cold air cannot move through the damper
• Fan noise changes (fan hitting ice) or airflow feels weak
• Water leaking or puddles after a defrost attempt

Quick checks we recommend (safe, no tools)

1. Power reset: unplug for 5 minutes, then restore power.
2. Door seal and door closing: make sure doors fully close and gaskets are not folded.
3. Airflow: avoid blocking vents with food packages.
4. Listen for fans: after the unit runs a bit, you should typically hear the evaporator fan.

Common parts involved when dH shows up

If the simple checks do not help, the issue is usually in the defrost circuit (sensor, heater, wiring, or control).

Symptom	Most likely area	Example part on this model page
Heavy frost on evaporator cover	Defrost sensing	Refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005R
Frost returns quickly after manual defrost	Defrost sensing or control	Refrigerator electronic control board CSP30021077
Cooling weak but compressor runs	Airflow restriction from frost	Defrost system components

Why it matters

Defrost heat failures let frost build up on the evaporator, which blocks airflow. That can make the refrigerator run longer, warm up, and eventually stop cooling properly.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572063315 is a bottom-mount style refrigerator; most units in this class are about 33 inches wide, 30 to 34 inches deep, and 67 to 70 inches tall. For the exact dimensions and clearance requirements for your specific unit, use the 79572063315 owner's manual.

Typical dimensions and what to measure

Use a tape measure and record these three numbers (in inches):

• Width: cabinet edge to cabinet edge (not including handles unless you need total clearance)
• Depth: front of doors (or handles) to the back cover
• Height: floor to top of hinge cover
• Door swing clearance: space needed to fully open doors and freezer drawer
• Ventilation clearance: space behind and above for airflow

Quick reference: common size ranges for this model type

Measurement	Typical range for bottom-mount refrigerators	Why it matters
Width	32 to 36 in.	Fit through doorways and into the cabinet opening
Depth	30 to 34 in. (cabinet), deeper with handles	Counter-depth planning and aisle clearance
Height	67 to 70 in.	Overhead cabinet clearance

Why it matters

Getting the exact size helps prevent delivery surprises, ensures proper airflow for the compressor and condenser coil, and avoids door-swing issues that can lead to poor sealing and temperature problems.

Related maintenance that affects fit and performance

If you are moving the refrigerator or re-installing it, these items commonly come up:

• Replace the water filter on schedule to protect the dispenser and ice maker (see how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator).
• If odors build up after a move, follow how to get rid of refrigerator smells.
• If doors do not seal after leveling, inspect the gasket and alignment; the right-side gasket for this model is refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461.

On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572063315, water leaking from the bottom is most often caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain; meltwater cannot flow to the drain pan, so it backs up, runs into the freezer floor, and eventually leaks out the front or underneath. Check the drain first.

Most common causes (and what to look for)

• Frozen/clogged defrost drain: ice on the freezer floor, water under the crisper drawers.
• Door not sealing: excess frost, condensation, and recurring drain freeze-ups.
• Water filter or tubing seep: slow drip near the filter housing or water line routing.
• Ice maker fill or dispenser leak: water tracks near the back wall or under the unit.

Quick checks we recommend (10 to 20 minutes)

1. Unplug the refrigerator and pull it out enough to work safely.
2. Look for ice or standing water on the freezer bottom panel.
3. Inspect the door gaskets for gaps, tears, or areas that do not grip paper.
4. Check for wetness around the filter area and along visible water lines.

How to clear a frozen/clogged defrost drain

Use these steps as a safe, typical approach; follow the exact access steps in the 79572063315 owner's manual.

• Remove food and the freezer drawer/bins as needed.
• Melt ice around the drain trough and drain hole using warm water (not boiling).
• Flush the drain with warm water until it flows freely.
• Dry the area and restore power; monitor for 24 hours.

Parts that commonly relate to bottom leaks on this model

Symptom	Likely area	Example part to inspect
Drip near filter housing	Filter seating, housing, O-rings	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Water line seep	Cracked/loose line	Refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602
Frost leading to drain icing	Defrost sensing/control	Refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005R

Why it matters

A recurring leak can damage flooring and can also point to airflow or defrost issues that create ice buildup. Fixing the drain and sealing problems early helps the evaporator and condenser system run efficiently.

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite 79572063315 bottom-mount refrigerator include warm temperatures from restricted airflow or dirty coils, ice maker and water dispenser issues from filter or supply problems, frost buildup from door sealing or defrost faults, and unusual noises from fans or the compressor. Use the 79572063315 owner's manual to match symptoms to the correct checks.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser area, blocked vents, evaporator fan not moving air, or a sealed-system/compressor problem
• Ice maker not making ice: clogged filter, low water pressure, frozen fill tube, or ice maker failure
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged filter, kinked water line, or inlet valve issue
• Frost or ice buildup: door left ajar, torn gasket, or defrost system/sensor problem
• Noises (buzzing, clicking, rattling): fan blade hitting ice, loose panels, or compressor/start components

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Set temperatures to typical targets: 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer.
2. Make sure packages are not blocking air vents in the refrigerator or freezer.
3. Clean dust from the condenser area and confirm the unit has airflow behind and below.
4. Inspect door closing and sealing; look for gaps, wrinkles, or moisture around the gasket.
5. If water or ice is weak, replace the filter and purge air from the line.

Parts that commonly solve these issues on model 79572063315

Symptom	Common part to check	Example from this model
Bad-tasting water, slow dispense	Water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Odors in fresh food section	Air filter	Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
Frost/temperature swings	Defrost sensing	Refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005R
Lights act odd or unit thinks door is open	Door switch	Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A

Why it matters

Cooling, ice, and water problems often start as airflow or filtration issues. Catching them early helps protect food temperatures, reduces frost buildup, and prevents extra strain on major components like the compressor.
