Kenmore Elite 79573132410 refrigerator Parts

Common problems we see with the Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79573132410 include cooling issues (often tied to the sealed system or airflow), ice maker or water dispensing failures, and control or sensor problems that cause erratic temperatures or alarms. The troubleshooting steps and feature checks in the 79573132410 owner's manual help narrow the cause quickly.

Most common symptoms (and what they usually point to)

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: compressor or sealed system issue, condenser airflow restriction, or evaporator fan problem
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply restriction, ice maker fault, or inlet valve problem
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged filter, filter head issue, or inlet valve problem
• Frost buildup or moisture inside: door not sealing, frequent door openings, or normal moisture after an automatic defrost cycle
• Lights or dispenser behavior is odd: door switch or electronic control issue

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm temperature settings and allow 24 hours after any adjustment.
2. Check doors close fully and gaskets seal; reduce warm-air leaks.
3. Inspect for blocked vents inside the refrigerator and freezer.
4. If water or ice is weak, replace the water filter and purge air from the line.
5. Use the built-in diagnostics features described in the manual (including Kenmore Connect on some units).

Parts that commonly solve these problems (when symptoms match)

Symptom	Common part involved	Example part for this model
No ice or small cubes	Ice maker or water supply component	Lg refrigerator ice maker AEQ72910412
No water to dispenser/ice maker	Water inlet valve	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601
Lights do not respond to door	Door switch	Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A
Warm fridge, noisy or no airflow	Evaporator fan motor	Lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C

Why it matters

Catching the symptom pattern early helps prevent food spoilage and reduces strain on major components like the compressor. It also keeps you from replacing the wrong part when the real issue is airflow, a clogged filter, or a door seal problem.

On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79573132410, dH (often shown as Er dH) points to a defrost heating issue; the refrigerator is not warming the evaporator enough during the defrost cycle, so frost can build up and airflow can drop. Use the 79573132410 owner's manual troubleshooting section to confirm the exact display behavior and checks.

What you’ll usually notice

• Refrigerator section warming up while the freezer seems “okay” at first
• Frost or ice buildup on the rear freezer panel
• Weak airflow from vents, or uneven temperatures
• Water dripping after a defrost attempt, then refreezing
• Fan noise changes (fan hitting ice) or reduced fan sound

Quick checks we recommend (safe, no tools first)

1. Power reset: Unplug for 5 minutes, plug back in, then monitor for the code returning.
2. Door seal and door closing: Make sure doors fully close; warm air leaks increase frost load.
3. Airflow: Keep packages from blocking freezer vents and the return air path.
4. Listen for the evaporator fan: If airflow is weak, the fan may be iced in.

Likely causes and common parts involved

What’s failing	What it affects	Example part for this model
Defrost sensor/thermistor	Defrost timing and temperature feedback	Refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005N
Control not initiating/finishing defrost	Defrost cycle control logic	(varies by symptom)
Heater circuit issue (heater, wiring, connectors)	Actual melting of frost on evaporator	(heater not listed in common parts above)

Why it matters

A defrost heating problem can quickly turn into heavy frost on the evaporator, which blocks airflow and makes the refrigerator run longer, warm up, and struggle to maintain safe food temperatures.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79573132410 is a bottom-mount style refrigerator; the exact exterior dimensions (height, width, depth) vary by configuration and are listed in the 79573132410 owner's manual. Most bottom-mount refrigerators of this type are roughly 33 inches wide and 65 to 70 inches tall.

How to get the exact measurements for your 79573132410

We recommend measuring your refrigerator and comparing it to the specifications section in the manual.

• Measure width at the widest point (often the door edges or hinges)
• Measure height from floor to top of hinge cover
• Measure depth with doors closed (and note if you include handles)
• Confirm you have clearance for door swing; the manual notes allowing 24 inches in front to open doors
• If you are moving it through a tight opening, plan for door removal (the manual describes handle and door removal steps)

Quick size reference (what to measure)

Measurement	What it tells you	Common notes
Width	Fit between cabinets	Include hinges if they stick out
Height	Fit under soffits/cabinets	Include hinge cover
Depth	How far it protrudes	Record “with handles” and “without handles”

Why it matters

Getting the correct size prevents installation problems like doors that cannot open fully, poor airflow around the cabinet (which can hurt cooling performance), and headaches when replacing the unit or ordering door bins, drawers, or other refrigerator parts.

Water leaking from the bottom of Kenmore Elite model 79573132410 is usually caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain that overflows during the automatic defrost cycle, or by a water supply connection issue (including water hammer or incorrect water pressure). Use the 79573132410 owner's manual to locate access points and follow safe service steps.

Most common causes (and what to check first)

• Defrost drain clogged or frozen: Water from defrost cannot flow to the drain pan, so it spills and leaks out.
• Drain tube restricted: Debris or ice in the drain path can force water to the cabinet bottom.
• Water line connection seepage: A loose fitting behind the unit can drip and track to the front.
• Water inlet valve leaking: The valve can seep slowly even when not dispensing.
• Door left ajar or warm air leaks: Extra frost can create more meltwater than the drain can handle.

Quick troubleshooting steps

1. Unplug the refrigerator before working near fans, wiring, or the bottom area.
2. Check for ice buildup on the freezer back wall; heavy frost often points to a drain issue.
3. Clear the drain: melt visible ice with warm air, then flush the drain with warm water until it flows freely.
4. Inspect the rear lower area for drips at the water line and valve.
5. If the leak is tied to the dispenser or icemaker supply, inspect the valve and tubing; replace the valve if it seeps.

Parts that commonly solve bottom leaks

Symptom	Likely part	What it does
Water pooling after defrost	Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D	Routes defrost water to the drain pan
Drips from rear water connections	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601	Controls water flow to icemaker and dispenser

Why it matters

A recurring bottom leak can damage flooring and can also lead to ice buildup that reduces airflow and cooling performance. The manual also notes that water hammer and incorrect water pressure can contribute to leakage, so correcting plumbing issues prevents repeat failures.
