Kenmore 79577304601 refrigerator Parts

To tell what Kenmore refrigerator you have, locate the identification label and read the model number and serial number. For Kenmore model 79577304601, the label is located on the right-hand side of the refrigerator compartment; match that model number when ordering parts or using the owner's manual.

Where to look for the model tag

Check these common spots on Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators:

• Inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall (often the right wall)
• On the door frame area near the hinge side
• Behind the lower kick plate or toe grille (less common, but worth checking)
• Near the ceiling of the fresh food compartment (varies by design)

What to write down (and why)

Record both numbers exactly as shown:

• Model number: identifies the exact design and which parts fit
• Serial number: helps confirm production details when parts changed during a model run
• Date of purchase (if available): useful for maintenance records and warranty paperwork

Quick ID checklist

Item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Parts compatibility and diagrams	79577304601
Serial number	Production run reference	Letters and numbers
Purchase date	Service and records	Month/day/year

If the label is hard to read

Use these steps to get a clean, accurate read:

• Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth; dry it so the print does not smear
• Use a flashlight at an angle to make faint ink stand out
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in
• Copy the model number character-for-character (including any leading zeros)

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators can look similar across multiple series, but parts like a door switch, door gasket, or control board are model-specific. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong replacement part and speeds up troubleshooting.

Kenmore model numbers are read in two parts: the 3-digit prefix (before the dot) identifies who manufactured the appliance, and the numbers after the dot identify the design series and feature variations. For your Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 795.77304601, the 795 prefix indicates an LG-built Kenmore.

Where to find the model number on this refrigerator

On Kenmore model 795.77304601, we look for the identification label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on the right-hand side. This label lists both the model and serial number.

• Open the refrigerator door (top section)
• Check the right interior wall near the front edge
• Write the model number exactly as shown (including the dot if present)
• Record the serial number too (it helps match parts and revisions)
• Use the model number when ordering parts like a door switch or door gasket

For diagrams and the exact label location notes, use the owner's manual.

How the Kenmore number is structured (quick guide)

Most Kenmore model numbers follow this pattern:

Section	Example	What it tells you
Prefix (3 digits)	795	Manufacturer code (who built it)
Dot separator	.	Separates prefix from the rest
Series/design digits	7730	Model family/series
Variation digits	4601	Feature and production variation

Why it matters when buying parts

Using the full model number prevents ordering a part that looks similar but does not fit your exact door, hinge, or control setup.

• Door and hinge parts can vary by series and revision
• Electrical parts (switches, sensors, boards) must match connectors and programming
• Gaskets and drawer rails must match door size and track style

If you are troubleshooting a door light that stays on or an alarm that will not stop, the lg refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A is a common related part for this model family.

Your Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79577304601 has its exact capacity (cubic feet) listed in the specifications section of the owner's manual. You can also confirm it on the model and serial label inside the fresh food compartment (right-hand side).

Fast ways to find the cubic feet (capacity)

• Check the specifications pages in the owner's manual for model 795.7730 / 795.7731.
• Look for the model and serial label inside the refrigerator compartment (right-hand side).
• If you still have paperwork, the capacity is often listed on the sales receipt or product record page.
• If you are measuring manually, use interior dimensions (width x depth x height) and convert to cubic feet (best for estimating only).

Where to look in the manual

In the owner's manual, the capacity is typically shown in a specs section near:

What you need	Where it’s usually found	Why it helps
Total capacity (cu. ft.)	Specifications section	Confirms the official cubic feet
Model number and serial number	Product record / ID label info	Ensures you are matching the right unit
Parts and features	Early pages	Helps identify the exact configuration

Why it matters

Cubic feet affects how much food you can store, but it also helps when you are comparing replacement shelves, drawers, and door bins for the 79577304601. Matching the correct model and configuration prevents ordering parts that do not fit.

Most Kenmore refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life. For your Kenmore 79577304601 bottom-mount refrigerator, lifespan depends most on basic upkeep (airflow, clean condenser coils, good door sealing) and fixing small issues before they strain the compressor.

Typical lifespan ranges (what we see most often)

Kenmore refrigerators vary by design and usage, but these ranges are reliable for planning repairs.

• Average expected life: 10 to 15 years
• Often achievable with good maintenance: 15 to 20 years
• Shortened lifespan is common when: condenser coils stay dirty, doors do not seal, or the unit runs hot (poor ventilation)

Condition	What it usually means	Likely impact on lifespan
Coils kept clean and doors seal well	Normal run time and stable temps	Longer life
Coils clogged with dust/pet hair	Compressor runs longer and hotter	Shorter life
Door not closing or light stays on	Warm air leaks in, frost and long run time	Shorter life
Frequent warm-room operation	Higher duty cycle	Shorter life

Maintenance that extends life on a bottom-mount refrigerator

These steps reduce compressor run time and help prevent temperature swings.

• Clean condenser coils regularly (more often with pets)
• Keep vents inside the refrigerator and freezer clear for proper air circulation
• Confirm doors close fully and the gasket seals all the way around
• Level the refrigerator so doors self-close and align correctly
• Avoid overpacking the freezer drawer so it can shut completely

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

Quick checks when you suspect the refrigerator is wearing out

Some symptoms are normal, but persistent issues usually point to airflow, sealing, or control problems.

• Compressor seems to run “all the time”
• Frost buildup in the freezer or moisture inside the fresh food section
• Warm spots or inconsistent temperatures
• Door not closing smoothly or rubbing (hinge alignment)
• Interior light not turning off when the door closes

If the interior light does not shut off reliably, a failed door switch is a common, inexpensive fix; see the lg refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer than it should uses more energy and puts extra heat and wear on the sealed system (compressor and evaporator). Keeping airflow and door sealing in good shape is the simplest way to protect the most expensive components.
