Kenmore 79570339410 refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore model 79570339410, the most reliable way to get cubic feet is to look up the capacity in the specifications section of the owner's manual. The model number itself usually does not directly encode the exact cubic-foot capacity.

Fast ways to find the capacity

1) Check the specs in the manual (best option)

The capacity is typically listed as “capacity” or “total capacity” in cubic feet (cu. ft.). Use the owner's manual and look for a specifications or product information section.

2) Use the model number to locate the spec label

Most Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators have a rating label inside the fresh food compartment. Common locations:

• On a side wall near the crisper drawers
• On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment
• Along the door frame area (fresh food side)
• Sometimes behind a drawer bin or cover

3) Estimate cubic feet by measuring interior space

If you need a quick estimate, measure the usable interior of each compartment and calculate volume.

• Measure width x height x depth (in inches) for the refrigerator section
• Do the same for the freezer section
• Convert each to cubic feet: divide by 1,728
• Add them together for total capacity

Measurement tips (so the math is meaningful)

• Measure inside wall-to-wall, not the exterior cabinet
• Subtract space taken by thick interior features (large air ducts, fixed housings)
• Use “usable” depth (don’t include door bins unless you want a storage estimate)
• Round to the nearest tenth; most published capacities are rounded

Quick reference table

What you have	What you get	Best for
Manual specs	Exact listed capacity (cu. ft.)	Matching the correct refrigerator size
Interior measurements	Close estimate (cu. ft.)	Planning storage, comparing to another fridge
Rating label info	Often includes capacity or key specs	Confirming specs without doing math

Why it matters

Cubic-foot capacity helps you compare refrigerator sizes, plan food storage, and choose correctly sized replacement items (like bins and drawers) that fit your Kenmore bottom-mount layout.

On Kenmore model 79570339410, a bad compressor usually shows up as poor or no cooling even though the lights and fans run; you may also hear repeated clicking (start attempt) followed by shutdown. Confirming a compressor failure requires electrical and sealed-system checks; use the owner's manual troubleshooting guidance to narrow symptoms first.

Quick signs the compressor is the problem

• Refrigerator and freezer temperatures keep rising even after 12 to 24 hours of run time
• You hear a click every few minutes from the compressor area (overload/start device cycling)
• The compressor is extremely hot to the touch, or it never warms up at all while the unit “runs”
• Interior evaporator fan runs, but there is little to no cold air movement from the vents
• Breaker trips or the refrigerator repeatedly shuts off shortly after trying to start
• Loud humming, buzzing, or rattling coming directly from the compressor compartment

Rule out common look-alikes first

Many “bad compressor” symptoms are caused by airflow, defrost, or control issues. Check these before planning a compressor replacement:

• Condenser airflow: clean dust from the condenser area and make sure the unit has clearance
• Evaporator frost pattern: heavy frost on the back freezer panel points to a defrost/airflow problem
• Door sealing: warm air leaks can mimic weak cooling
• Control settings: verify freezer and refrigerator temps are set correctly
• Power reset: unplug for 5 minutes, then restore power and listen for a normal start

What you can test safely (and what needs a technician)

Check	What you’re looking for	Who should do it
Listen/feel for start-stop cycling	Click, brief hum, then off	DIY
Verify fans run	Evaporator and condenser fan operation	DIY
Temperature trend	Temps not dropping after 12 to 24 hours	DIY
Electrical tests (windings/amp draw)	Confirms compressor or start circuit failure	Technician
Sealed-system diagnosis	Refrigerant restriction/leak vs. compressor	Technician

If the compressor is confirmed failed and you’re repairing this model, the correct replacement is the refrigerator compressor TCA38091801.

Why it matters

A compressor is the heart of the sealed cooling system. Replacing it is a major repair, so it’s worth ruling out simpler causes (dirty condenser, defrost failure, fan problems) before ordering parts.

Common problems we see with the Kenmore 79570339410 bottom-mount refrigerator include weak or uneven cooling, ice maker or dispenser issues, water leaks, and unusual noises. Many of these symptoms trace back to airflow problems (fans or coils), water supply components, or a failing control or sealed-system component; use the owner's manual troubleshooting section to narrow it down.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coil, evaporator fan not running, defrost problem, or compressor/control issue
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply restriction, inlet valve problem, ice maker failure, or freezer temperature too warm
• Water leaking: loose water line, cracked filter head/tubing, inlet valve seepage, or drain/ice maker fill issues
• Noisy operation: evaporator fan noise, condenser area vibration, or ice maker cycling noise
• Dispenser problems (no water/ice, intermittent): dispenser switch, chute door motor, or auger motor issues

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm temperatures: set refrigerator to about 37°F and freezer to about 0°F; allow 24 hours to stabilize.
2. Check door closing and sealing: doors that do not close fully cause frost, warm temps, and ice clumps.
3. Inspect airflow: make sure vents inside are not blocked by food packages.
4. Clean the condenser area: dust buildup commonly causes poor cooling and longer run times.
5. Reset after a power event: unplug for 5 minutes, then restore power and monitor.

Parts that commonly solve these issues (when symptoms match)

Symptom	Likely part area	Example part for this model
Warm fridge, noisy freezer, poor airflow	Evaporator fan	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C
No ice or slow ice production	Ice maker or water supply	Lg refrigerator ice maker AEQ73110210
No water/ice, weak fill, intermittent dispensing	Water inlet valve	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601
Dispenser not responding	Switches/motor	Lg refrigerator dispenser switch 6600JB3001C or refrigerator dispenser ice chute door motor EAU59551204
Water tastes/odor, slow flow	Filter or filter head	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 or refrigerator water filter head ADQ36011715

Why it matters

Cooling, ice, and leak complaints often share the same root causes: restricted airflow, restricted water flow, or a component that is not switching on reliably. Catching those early helps prevent food spoilage, ice buildup, and water damage.

On Kenmore refrigerator model 79570339410, the model and serial number are printed on an identification label located on the interior liner of the refrigerator compartment (inside the fresh food section). We recommend writing both numbers down before ordering parts or scheduling service; they are used to match the correct components.

How to find the label quickly

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door and look along the inside walls (the liner)
• Check near the crisper area and side walls where labels are commonly placed
• Use a flashlight; the print can be small
• Copy both the model number and serial number exactly as shown
• Take a clear photo for reference when shopping for parts

What not to remove

During unpacking and setup, do not remove the model and serial number label. The manual also notes there is a Tech Sheet stored under the front of the refrigerator behind the base grille; keep that in place as well. See the owner's manual for handling and safety notes.

Why it matters

Using the correct model number helps us match the right Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator parts for your exact configuration (for example, the correct water filter, ice maker, or door switch). It also speeds up troubleshooting and reduces the chance of ordering the wrong part.

Common uses for the model number

What you’re doing	Why the model number helps
Ordering a water filter	Ensures the correct fit and connections
Fixing ice maker or dispenser issues	Matches the correct ice maker and switches
Looking up diagrams and part lists	Pulls the right exploded views for your unit

If you’re replacing filtration parts for this model, the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 is one of the commonly used items listed for 79570339410.
