Kenmore 79571606013 bottom-mount refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore model 79571606013, the fastest way to handle discontinued parts is to search by the exact model number and the exact part number, then compare any “substitute” or “replacement” listings to your original part. Your 79571606013 owner's manual helps you identify the correct component name and location before you order.

Best ways to track down a discontinued part

• Start with the model number: search 79571606013 first, then narrow by the part category (door, cooling system, ice maker, drawers).
• Use the original part number from the label on the part (or from the parts list) and search that number.
• Check for updated part numbers: many refrigerator parts are replaced by a newer number that fits the same mounting points and connectors.
• Confirm the part’s job and location (for example, door switch vs. temperature sensor) so you do not order a look-alike.
• Consider repair vs. replace for non-structural items (bins, rails, drawers) if the part is no longer available.

Common “discontinued” situations and what to do

What you see	What it usually means	What we do next
Part shows “not available”	The exact item is no longer supplied	Search by part number for a substitute or updated number
Multiple similar parts appear	Variations by door style, color, or revision	Match by model number and where it installs
Cooling problem parts are hard to source	High-demand sealed system components	Verify symptoms before ordering major parts

Parts on this model that people often confuse

These examples are available for this model and can help you confirm you are targeting the right component:

• If the light stays off or the fan stops when the door closes, check the refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A.
• If temperatures swing or you see odd readings, check the refrigerator temperature sensor 6500JB2001B.
• If ice production is the issue, compare your assembly to the ice maker assembly AEQ72909602.

Why it matters

Discontinued parts searches go faster when you match the exact function (cooling, lighting, door closing, ice making) to the correct component. That prevents ordering the wrong revision and helps you spot valid substitutes quickly.

Most Kenmore refrigerators have an average life expectancy of 13 years. For your Kenmore 79571606013 bottom-mount refrigerator, regular cleaning, correct temperature settings, and keeping airflow paths clear are the biggest factors that help you reach (or beat) that typical lifespan; see the 79571606013 owner's manual.

What affects refrigerator lifespan the most

We see these items make the biggest difference in how long a bottom-mount refrigerator lasts:

• Condenser coil cleanliness (dust buildup makes the compressor work harder)
• Door seal condition (warm air leaks increase run time and frost)
• Stable temperatures (fresh food about 37°F, freezer about 0°F)
• Good airflow (don’t block vents with food packages)
• Door habits (frequent openings and overloading raise run time)
• Room temperature (hot kitchens increase compressor run time)

Maintenance checklist (simple, high impact)

Use this schedule to protect the sealed system (compressor, condenser, evaporator) and reduce wear:

• Every 3 to 6 months: vacuum and brush the condenser area; if your unit uses a separate coil assembly, inspect the refrigerator condenser coil ACG73784701 for heavy lint buildup
• Monthly: wipe door gaskets and the door sealing surface
• Anytime temps drift: confirm control settings and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize after major changes (loading food, power outage, control adjustment)
• As needed: keep the evaporator fan area clear; a noisy or stalled fan can point to the lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C

Quick “repair vs. replace” guide

This helps prioritize what to fix first when performance drops.

Symptom	Most common cause	Typical fix path
Runs a lot but temps are OK	Dirty coils, warm room, frequent door openings	Clean coils, improve airflow, reduce door openings
Warm fridge and warm freezer	Sealed system or compressor issue	Diagnose cooling system; compressor may be involved
Warm fridge but freezer OK	Airflow or fan issue	Check vents, inspect evaporator fan
Lights off when door opens	Door switch issue	Test/replace door switch

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer than necessary uses more energy and puts extra load on the compressor. Keeping coils clean and doors sealing tightly reduces run time and helps your Kenmore 79571606013 reach its expected service life.

If you decide to repair, you can order model-matched parts from the parts list for your refrigerator, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

The most common issues we see on the Kenmore 79571606013 bottom-mount refrigerator are cooling problems, ice maker and water supply troubles, water leaks, excess noise, and frost buildup. Many of these trace back to airflow, temperature settings, door sealing, or a few key components listed in the 79571606013 owner's manual.

Common problems (and what usually causes them)

• Not cooling well: dirty condenser coils, blocked vents, or a failed evaporator fan motor
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply shutoff closed, kinked water line, low water pressure, freezer too warm
• Water leaking or puddles: defrost drain issues, water line connection problems, or normal defrost pan water in humid conditions
• Noisy operation: normal defrost and fan sounds, or a failing fan motor
• Bad-tasting ice: old ice, unwrapped food odors, or water minerals
• Frost buildup: door not sealing, frequent door openings, or airflow restrictions

Quick checks we recommend first

Start with these basics before replacing parts:

• Confirm the freezer is set to 0°F for normal ice production (warmer temps reduce ice output).
• If the ice maker was just installed or restarted, allow 24 hours to begin making ice and up to 72 hours for full production.
• Make sure the refrigerator is connected to the water supply and the shutoff valve is fully open.
• Inspect the water line for kinks; straighten the line if needed.
• Clean the condenser area; dirty coils commonly reduce cooling efficiency.

Parts that commonly relate to these symptoms

If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these model-matched parts are common suspects:

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for this model
Warm fridge/freezer, weak airflow	Air circulation	Lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C
Lights do not respond to door	Door sensing	Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A
Ice maker not producing	Ice system	Ice maker assembly (AEQ72909602) - refrigerator ice maker part by lg AEQ72909602
Clicking, compressor won’t stay running	Start/overload	Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D

Why it matters

Catching airflow and water-supply issues early helps prevent food spoilage, reduces strain on the sealed system (compressor and evaporator), and avoids repeat ice maker problems caused by warm freezer temperatures or restricted water flow.

Helpful DIY references

• Use Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes to interpret display or diagnostic codes before you start testing parts.

If you’re ordering replacements, we recommend choosing parts from the model-specific list first; you can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
