Kenmore Elite 79572053316 refrigerator Parts

Kenmore Elite launched as a premium Kenmore line in the late 1990s (commonly cited as 1999). For your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572053316, the exact build year is best identified from the serial number on the unit and the date-of-purchase information referenced in the 79572053316 owner's manual.

Use these quick checks to pinpoint the manufacturing timeframe for your specific refrigerator:

• Locate the model and serial tag (typically inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall, or near the door opening).
• Write down the full serial number exactly as shown.
• Compare the serial format to the decoding guidance in the 79572053316 owner's manual (model and serial label section).
• If you still have your receipt, use the purchase date as a reliable reference point for age and warranty coverage.
• If you are troubleshooting, note any display symptoms or error indications before calling for service.

“Kenmore Elite” is a product line name, not a single release year for all models. New Kenmore Elite refrigerators were introduced across many years, so the model number alone does not reliably tell the exact year without the serial number.

Knowing the correct year helps us match the right parts and troubleshooting steps for your exact configuration (controls, ice maker style, and filtration setup). It also helps you interpret warranty timeframes that are based on the purchase date.

To raise your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572053316 off the floor, we adjust the front leveling legs to lift the cabinet and create clearance. Turn the leveling legs left to raise and right to lower; small turns make a noticeable difference. See the 79572053316 owner's manual for the exact leveling procedure.

• Unload heavy items from the doors to reduce weight.
• Have someone gently push back on the top front of the refrigerator to take weight off the legs.
• Use an 11/16-inch wrench or a flat-blade screwdriver (as specified for this model).
• Turn both front leveling legs the same amount to keep the cabinet stable.
• Recheck door closing after each adjustment; a slight rearward tilt helps doors close.

Raising the cabinet can change how the doors sit. This model uses an adjustable nut on the bottom hinge to fine-tune door height.

• Check the gap between the left and right fresh food doors.
• Use the included wrench to adjust the hinge nut.
• Turn the nut right to raise the door, left to lower it.

Proper height and leveling reduces cabinet rocking, helps the dual fresh food doors seal consistently, and prevents warm air leaks that can cause temperature swings, frost, or moisture.

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators, including model 79572053316, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal household use. Consistent maintenance (cleaning condenser coils, keeping door seals tight, and changing filters on schedule) is what most often determines whether you land closer to 10 years or closer to 15.

Here’s a practical way to think about refrigerator life:

• 0 to 5 years: Mostly routine upkeep (filters, cleaning, minor adjustments)
• 5 to 10 years: Wear items show up (door gaskets, fans, sensors)
• 10 to 15 years: Higher chance of major repairs (sealed system or compressor)
• 15+ years: Possible with excellent care, but major repairs often outweigh replacement

We recommend focusing on these high-impact items:

• Clean the condenser area so the compressor runs cooler and shorter
• Keep doors closing squarely; avoid overloading door bins
• Replace the water filter on schedule; a restricted filter can reduce dispenser and ice maker performance
• Replace the air filter as needed to reduce odors and keep airflow fresh
• Confirm temperatures stay steady (about 37°F fresh food, 0°F freezer)

For model-specific care and intervals, follow the 79572053316 owner's manual.

If performance drops, these parts are often involved:

• Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004 (heat removal)
• Refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461 (air leaks and frost)
• Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408 (odor control and airflow freshness)
• Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 (water flow and ice quality)

A refrigerator that runs hot (dirty coils) or leaks air (bad gasket) cycles longer, builds frost more easily, and puts extra load on the compressor. Reducing run time is the most reliable way to push lifespan toward the upper end of the 10 to 15 year range.

On the Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572053316, the most common issues we see are weak or no cooling, frost buildup, water leaks, dispenser or ice maker trouble, and unusual noises. Many fixes start with airflow and filtration checks, then move to fans, sensors, and sealed-system components.

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser area, restricted airflow, failed evaporator fan, or sealed-system/compressor trouble.
• Frost or ice buildup (freezer or back wall): defrost system problem (sensor/heater/control) or a door not sealing.
• Water under the refrigerator or in the crisper: clogged defrost drain, loose water line, or a slow seep at tubing connections.
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, frozen fill tube, or ice maker module failure.
• Buzzing, clicking, or rattling: condenser fan area debris, compressor start issues, or vibration from the cabinet/lines.

1. Confirm the controls are set correctly and the doors close fully.
2. Make sure vents inside the fresh food section are not blocked by food packages.
3. Replace overdue filters (water and air) to improve flow and odor control.
4. Listen for fan operation (evaporator fan in freezer area; condenser fan near the compressor).
5. If the unit has an error display, use the model-family guide to interpret it.

Cooling and frost problems can quickly lead to food spoilage and higher energy use. Water and ice issues often trace back to filtration or supply restrictions, which are easier to correct early than after an ice maker or valve is stressed.

For troubleshooting steps and diagnostic guidance for this refrigerator, use the 79572053316 manual. For code interpretation that matches this model family, use Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes.
