What size is Kenmore refrigerator model 79571062010?
Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571062010 is a bottom-freezer design in the 795.7106* series. The exact exterior width, depth, and height vary by the specific configuration within that series, so we recommend confirming the cabinet dimensions and required clearances in the 79571062010 owner's manual.
Typical size range for this style of Kenmore Elite refrigerator
Most Kenmore Elite bottom-freezer refrigerators in the 33-inch class fall into these common ranges:
- Width: about 33 inches
- Height: about 68 to 70 inches
- Depth: about 30 to 34 inches (depth can change depending on handles and door swing)
- Capacity: commonly around 22 to 24 cu. ft.
What to measure (so it fits the opening)
Use a tape measure and check these points before ordering a replacement or planning a move:
- Width at the cabinet (side-to-side at the widest point)
- Depth with doors closed (and note whether you included handles)
- Height to the top hinge cover
- Door swing clearance (space needed for doors and freezer drawer to open)
- Back clearance for the power cord and water line
Quick reference: “what size” can mean different things
| If you mean… | Measure or check… | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior dimensions | W x D x H | Fit in the cabinet opening and through doorways |
| Capacity | Cubic feet | How much food it holds |
| Installation clearance | Side, top, back space | Airflow, door swing, and service access |
Why it matters
A refrigerator that is even 1 inch too wide or too deep can prevent proper door swing, restrict airflow, or make it impossible to slide the unit into place. Confirming the exact dimensions for 79571062010 also helps when routing the water line for the ice maker and dispenser.

Why did my bottom freezer stop working?
If your Kenmore Elite 79571062010 bottom freezer stopped working, the most common causes are airflow problems (overpacked drawers or a door not sealing), dirty condenser coils, or a failed cooling component such as the evaporator fan. Start with quick checks to protect food and restore airflow, then move to part-level diagnosis.
Quick checks that fix many “not freezing” complaints
- Confirm the freezer door closes fully and the gasket seals all the way around.
- Make sure vents inside the freezer are not blocked by packages or bins.
- Set the freezer control colder and give it 24 hours to stabilize.
- Clean the condenser coils (the manual lists coil cleaning as routine care).
- If you recently had a power interruption, reset controls after power is restored.
For model-specific control locations, cleaning guidance, and the troubleshooting section, use the 79571062010 owner's manual.
What to listen and look for (symptom-based diagnosis)
Use these symptoms to narrow the likely failure:
| What you notice | Most likely issue | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Fridge section warm and freezer warm | No cooling or poor heat removal | Clean coils; check condenser fan area; service may be needed |
| Freezer warm but fridge somewhat cool | Airflow problem in freezer | Check for blocked vents, heavy frost, or a fan not running |
| Loud buzzing/clicking, then silence | Compressor start problem | Unplug 5 minutes, restart; if it repeats, service diagnosis |
| Heavy frost/ice buildup | Defrost system issue or door leak | Check door seal and frost pattern; service if frost returns quickly |
Parts that commonly affect freezer cooling on this model
If the quick checks do not help, these parts are frequent culprits:
- Evaporator fan not running or noisy: consider the lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C.
- Dirty or restricted condenser area: inspect and clean the condenser coil area.
- Weak cooling system performance: sealed-system diagnosis may involve the compressor.
Why it matters
A bottom freezer that is not freezing can thaw food quickly and can also force the refrigerator to run longer, which increases wear on components and can lead to frost, odors, and ice maker issues.

What are the common problems with Kenmore Elite refrigerators?
Common problems on the Kenmore Elite 79571062010 bottom-mount refrigerator include weak or no cooling, frost or ice buildup, water leaks, dispenser or ice maker issues, and unusual noises. Many fixes start with cleaning, leveling, and checking airflow and door sealing; use the 79571062010 owner's manual troubleshooting section for model-specific checks.
Most common symptoms and what usually causes them
- Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan not running, blocked vents, or a sealed-system/compressor problem
- Runs too much: frequent door openings, warm room conditions, dirty coils, or door not sealing well (the manual notes modern units can run 40% to 80% of the time at normal room temps)
- Frost/ice buildup: door gasket not sealing, door left ajar, or a defrost system issue
- Water under the refrigerator: clogged/iced drain path or drain tube issue
- Ice maker not making ice: ice bin not seated/level, ice compartment door not closed tightly, water supply or valve issue
- Rattling/vibration noise: refrigerator not level or floor is uneven (leveling legs need adjustment)
Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts
- Set controls to recommended temps and allow 24 hours to stabilize.
- Clean condenser coils and confirm the condenser fan area is clear.
- Confirm doors close fully and gaskets are clean and making full contact.
- Make sure air vents inside are not blocked by food packages.
- If the unit vibrates, level the cabinet and recheck door alignment.
Parts that commonly relate to these problems (when symptoms match)
| Symptom | Common part to inspect | Example for this model |
|---|---|---|
| No ice or slow ice | Water inlet valve, ice maker | Refrigerator ice maker assembly AEQ73110205 |
| Ice clumping, dispenser issues | Ice chute door motor, auger motor | Refrigerator dispenser ice chute door motor EAU59551204 |
| Warm fridge section, poor airflow | Evaporator fan motor | Lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C |
| Water tastes/odor, low flow | Water filter | Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 |
Why it matters
Catching airflow, leveling, and ice compartment door issues early prevents temperature swings, excess run time, and secondary problems like frost buildup or water leaks.

Why is my Kenmore refrigerator leaking water from the bottom?
On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571062010, water leaking from the bottom is usually caused by a leaking water line connection (often at the inlet valve area), a cracked or overflowing drain pan, or a defrost drain that is clogged and backing up. Use the steps in the 79571062010 owner's manual to confirm the leak source before replacing parts.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Look for water only after using the dispenser or icemaker; that points to the water supply line, tubing, or inlet valve.
- Look for water after a defrost cycle; that often points to the drain pan or defrost drain.
- Check whether the water is clear (water system) or slightly dirty (drain pan overflow).
- Inspect the floor under the front and also behind the unit; leaks can travel along the base frame.
Most common causes and what to do
| What you notice | Most likely cause | What we do next |
|---|---|---|
| Drips at a fitting behind the fridge | Loose compression nut or damaged tubing | Tighten the connection; if it still drips, replace the line or tubing |
| Puddle appears intermittently | Defrost drain backing up | Clear the drain path and confirm water flows to the pan |
| Water seems to come from the cabinet base | Drain pan cracked or out of position | Inspect pan for cracks and proper seating |
| Leak happens during ice making | Water inlet valve or internal tubing leak | Inspect valve and tubing for seepage and mineral tracks |
Parts that commonly relate to bottom leaks on this model
If your inspection points to the water system, these model-matched parts are common suspects:
- Refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602 if you see a split, kink, or pinhole leak
- Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601 if the valve body or fittings seep
- Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D if the drain path is restricted or leaking at the tube
Why it matters
A small leak can quickly turn into cabinet damage, ice buildup, or fan noise if water refreezes in the freezer area. Fixing the source early also helps protect the compressor compartment and electrical parts.
