Kenmore 89775525320 front door bottom mount refrigerator Parts

You typically can’t get an exact cubic-foot capacity from the Kenmore model number alone; for model 89775525320, the reliable way is to look up the published specs for that exact model or calculate capacity from interior measurements (height x width x depth in inches, divided by 1,728).

Use this method when you need a practical capacity estimate for food storage planning.

• Empty the compartment you’re measuring (fresh food and freezer are usually counted separately).
• Measure interior height, width, and depth in inches (ignore door bins and rounded corners).
• Multiply: H x W x D to get cubic inches.
• Divide by 1,728 to convert cubic inches to cubic feet.
• Add fresh food + freezer results for an approximate total.

Kenmore model numbers often identify a series and configuration, but capacity is not consistently encoded in a single digit across all Kenmore refrigerators.

• Model numbers help match the correct parts and diagrams.
• Capacity varies by cabinet design, insulation thickness, and liner shape.
• The same “style” can come in multiple capacities.

Cubic feet helps you compare refrigerator sizes, plan kitchen fit, and set expectations for storage. For repairs, the model number matters more than capacity because parts must match the exact build.

On Kenmore model 89775525320, a leak underneath is usually caused by defrost water missing the drain path and ending up in (or overflowing from) the drain pan, most often due to a clogged or frozen defrost drain. Clearing the drain and confirming the pan is positioned correctly typically stops the leak.

• Clogged or frozen defrost drain: Water backs up, then runs down into the cabinet and onto the floor.
• Drain pan shifted, cracked, or overflowing: Defrost water cannot stay contained; inspect the water pan GK000008302.
• Door not sealing well: Excess frost forms, then creates more defrost water than normal; inspect the fridge door seal GA000077801.
• Ice maker or water line seepage (if equipped): Slow leaks can track to the front and drip underneath.
• High humidity or frequent door openings: Can increase condensation and defrost load.

1. Unplug the refrigerator and pull it out far enough to access the rear lower area.
2. Check the drain pan for cracks, warping, or misalignment; reseat it so it sits flat and centered.
3. Clear the defrost drain (inside the fresh food section, typically at the back bottom): flush with warm water and clear debris with a flexible cleaner.
4. Look for ice buildup near the drain opening; melt ice with warm water (not sharp tools).
5. Inspect door sealing: close a dollar bill in the door; if it slips easily, the gasket may not be sealing.

Water under a bottom-mount refrigerator can damage flooring and can also point to airflow or defrost issues that lead to frost buildup and warmer temperatures in the fresh food section.

If you’re on the Sears PartsDirect page for Kenmore model 89775525320, that is the model number of your refrigerator. To confirm it on the appliance, match the full model number from the refrigerator’s ID label to the parts listing for 89775525320 so you get the correct Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator parts.

On most Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators, we typically see the model/serial label in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment
• On the door frame (around the gasket area)
• Behind or near the crisper drawers
• Behind the lower kick plate (toe grille)

Use this quick checklist to avoid ordering the wrong part.

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (include all digits and any letters)
• Compare the model number to 89775525320 (character-for-character)
• Use the serial number too if you see multiple similar listings
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in to read it
• If you are still unsure, use our guide: how to find your appliance model number (and what it means for parts)

Kenmore model numbers can look similar, but internal components (like sensors, dampers, seals, and shelves) can vary by production run. Matching the exact model number helps ensure fit, wiring compatibility, and correct mounting.

If your Kenmore 89775525320 bottom-mount refrigerator is warm at the bottom, the most common causes are restricted airflow (blocked vents or frost buildup), a damper that is stuck, or weak circulation from the cooling system. Start with airflow checks before replacing parts.

• Make sure food packages are not blocking interior air vents (both fridge and freezer sections).
• Leave space between items so cold air can circulate down to the lower shelves and drawers.
• Confirm the temperature settings were not accidentally raised.
• Check door gaskets for gaps that let warm, moist air in (this can lead to frost and poor airflow).
• Listen for the evaporator fan in the freezer; if it is not running, cold air will not move into the fresh-food section.

Bottom areas often warm up first when cold air cannot travel from the freezer to the refrigerator compartment.

• If you see frost or ice blocking vents or the back wall, suspect a defrost problem.
• If the top is colder than the bottom, suspect an airflow restriction or a damper problem.
• If temperatures swing a lot, a sticking damper can be a strong clue.

If you suspect the damper is not opening and closing correctly, the model-specific replacement is the Kenmore refrigerator electric damper DA000943001.

A failed sensor can cause poor temperature control and contribute to icing that blocks airflow.

• Heavy frost on the freezer back panel
• Refrigerator warms while freezer seems “okay”
• Cooling improves temporarily after unplugging/defrosting

For this model, a common related part is the Kenmore refrigerator fridge and defrost sensor DA000547301.

Warm lower zones can push food above safe storage temperatures and also signal icing or airflow problems that get worse over time. Fixing airflow early often prevents repeat frosting and uneven cooling.

For Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators like model 89775525320, the most common problems are not cooling, ice maker or dispenser issues, water dispenser problems, frost buildup/defrost failures, and unusual noise. Many of these symptoms trace back to airflow, temperature sensing, door sealing, or condenser system issues.

• Not cooling or warm fridge section: restricted airflow, a stuck damper, dirty condenser coils, or a failing compressor/condenser fan
• Frost buildup or not defrosting: defrost sensor or defrost system problem, blocked air passages
• Ice maker not making ice: freezer not cold enough, water supply issue, or ice storage/door issues
• Water dispenser not working: frozen water line, low water pressure, or a water box/line issue
• Noisy or loud operation: condenser fan/motor noise, vibration, or ice buildup contacting the fan

• Confirm the temperature settings; typical targets are 0°F in the freezer and 37°F in the fridge.
• Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages (airflow problems mimic “not cooling”).
• Clean condenser coils and verify the condenser area is not packed with dust.
• Check door closure and gasket contact all the way around.
• Listen for where the noise comes from (freezer vs. back/bottom) to narrow the system.

A “not cooling” complaint can be caused by something simple (airflow blockage or a door seal leak) or something major (compressor system). Doing a few quick checks first helps avoid replacing the wrong Kenmore refrigerator parts.

Kenmore is a brand, not a single manufacturer, so replacement parts for Kenmore model 89775525320 are typically produced by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that built that specific refrigerator, then sold under Kenmore-compatible part numbers.

For a Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator like 89775525320, the most reliable approach is to match parts by model number and the exact part ID/part number, not by guessing the manufacturer.

• Use the full model number 89775525320 when searching.
• Match the part ID exactly (letters and numbers).
• Replace like-for-like by part function (damper, sensor, seal, compressor).
• Avoid “universal” substitutions unless the listing explicitly confirms compatibility.
• If a part affects cooling or defrost, confirm symptoms before ordering.

These are OEM-style replacement parts listed for this model; the manufacturer behind the Kenmore-branded listing can vary by component.

Kenmore parts sourcing can vary by model and by component, so “Who makes it?” is less important than “Is it the correct OEM replacement for 89775525320?” Matching the exact part ID helps ensure proper fit, correct electrical connectors, and expected cooling performance.

On Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 89775525320, a bad compressor usually shows up as poor cooling even though the unit runs a lot, unusual buzzing or clicking from the back, and the compressor shell becoming very hot. Confirm airflow and defrost issues first because they can mimic compressor failure.

• Make sure the condenser area is not packed with dust and the unit has proper clearance.
• Verify the evaporator fan is running (freezer airflow should feel steady).
• Look for heavy frost on the freezer back panel (a defrost problem can cause warm temps).
• Confirm the doors seal tightly; torn gaskets can cause long run times.
• Listen for repeated clicking every few minutes (often a start device or overload symptom).

If the compressor is not starting or cooling is inconsistent, these model-specific parts can also contribute to symptoms that look like compressor trouble:

• Compressor assembly LA000004401: the sealed-system pump; failure typically requires professional service.
• Fridge and defrost sensor DA000547301: incorrect temperature sensing can affect run behavior and defrost timing.
• Electric damper DA000943001: if stuck closed, the fresh food section warms even when the freezer is cold.

Replacing a compressor is one of the highest-effort refrigerator repairs, and many “bad compressor” complaints are actually caused by airflow restrictions, defrost failures, or temperature control issues. Ruling those out first saves time and prevents unnecessary parts replacement.
