On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571073011, the model and serial number are printed on an identification label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, on the right-hand side wall. We recommend copying both numbers into your 79571073011 owner's manual for quick reference.

Common places to check first

Look for a paper or silver rating label in these spots:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on the right-side wall (most common for 79571073011)
• On the side wall near the crisper drawers (you may need to remove the drawer)
• Along the door frame area inside the fresh food section
• Behind the base grille or kick plate area (less common, but worth a quick look)

How to read the label

The label typically lists both identifiers. Use them exactly as shown.

What you need	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Finding correct parts diagrams and fit	79571073011
Serial number	Dating the unit and service history	Letters and numbers

Why it matters

The model number narrows your refrigerator to the correct Kenmore parts list, so you order the right items the first time (for example, a compatible water filter or door switch). If you are ordering parts beyond routine maintenance, we also recommend searching by model on Sears PartsDirect.

Quick tip for parts shopping

When you have the model number, match parts by description and ID. Common examples for this model include:

• Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A
• Refrigerator water filter bypass ABN73019101
• Refrigerator ice maker assembly AEQ73110205

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571073011 is a bottom-mount style unit; the exact exterior dimensions (width, depth, height) are listed in the specifications section of the 79571073011 owner's manual. If you are measuring for a tight opening, we recommend allowing extra clearance for door swing, leveling, and airflow.

How to measure the refrigerator correctly

Use a tape measure and record three numbers: width, depth, and height. Measure in multiple spots because floors and cabinets are rarely perfectly square.

• Width: measure the cabinet body at the widest point (often the hinge side)
• Depth: measure from the back to the front of the doors/handles (handles can add noticeable depth)
• Height: measure from floor to the top hinge cover or highest point
• Clearance: add space for ventilation and for pulling the unit out for service
• Door swing: confirm you can fully open doors and freezer drawer without hitting walls or islands

Typical size range for this style (planning guidance)

Most Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators in the 795 series are built to fit common 33-inch class openings. Use this as planning guidance, then confirm the exact spec in the manual.

Measurement	Typical planning range	What can change it most
Width	~32 3/4 to 33 inches	hinge covers, trim
Depth	~30 to 34 inches	handles, door thickness
Height	~67 to 70 inches	leveling legs, hinge cover

Why clearance matters

Even when the cabinet cutout matches the refrigerator’s “box” size, you still need room for airflow and service access. The manual also notes that using an extension cord increases the clearance needed behind the refrigerator, which can affect depth planning.

Parts that commonly relate to fit and door operation

If your concern is doors not closing, rubbing, or not aligning after moving the refrigerator, these parts are often involved:

• Refrigerator door hinge, right center AEH36821910
• Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A (door not registering closed)
• Refrigerator flipper assembly AGU75188619 (mullion alignment on French doors)

For replacement parts for model 79571073011, order from the parts list for this model or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Common problems we see on the Kenmore Elite 79571073011 bottom-mount refrigerator include no cooling (or warm temperatures), ice maker and dispenser issues, water leaks, and unusual noises. Many of these trace back to airflow, door sealing, or key components like the compressor, control board, or water system; use the 79571073011 owner's manual troubleshooting guide to narrow it down.

Most common symptoms and what they usually mean

• Not cooling or weak cooling: unit may be in Demo Mode, in a defrost cycle, or has an airflow or sealed-system problem.
• Ice maker not making ice: ice bin full or uneven, ice compartment door not sealing, or water supply/valve issue.
• Water leaking or puddles: often a drain issue or water line connection problem.
• Compressor seems to run all the time: warm room, frequent door openings, dirty condenser area, or doors not closing fully.
• Rattling, buzzing, sizzling, popping sounds: many are normal defrost and fan noises; persistent vibration points to leveling.

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

1. Confirm it is not in Demo Mode: on this model, Demo Mode disables cooling; you can turn it off using the button sequence described in the manual.
2. Check door closure and gaskets: doors not closing completely can cause warm temps and long run times.
3. Give defrost time: if it is in a defrost cycle, cooling resumes after about 30 minutes.
4. Level the refrigerator: vibration or rattling often improves when the cabinet sits solidly on the floor.

Parts that commonly solve these problems (when a component has failed)

Symptom	Common suspect part	Example part for this model
No ice or dispenser issues	Ice maker or water supply component	Refrigerator ice maker assembly AEQ73110205
No water to ice maker/dispenser	Water inlet valve or tubing	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601
Warm temps or odd cycling	Sensor or control issue	Refrigerator temperature sensor 6500JB2001B
Poor efficiency, long run times	Dirty/blocked condenser area	Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73784701

Why it matters

Catching the root cause early prevents food spoilage, reduces energy use, and avoids secondary issues like frozen food in the fresh-food section (which can happen if the ice compartment door is not sealing tightly).

For model-specific fault displays, we use the Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes guide alongside the manual.

You can order replacement parts from the parts list for your model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571073011, “Accela Ice” refers to a fast-ice mode that boosts ice-making for short-term, high-demand use. In the control description for this model, that fast-ice function is labeled Ultra Ice and runs for 24 hours before shutting off automatically; see the 79571073011 owner's manual for the exact button and display icon.

What the fast-ice mode does on model 79571073011

When Ultra Ice is turned on, the refrigerator increases both freezing and ice-making capability to help the ice maker recover faster.

• Turns on from the control panel using the Ultra Ice button
• Stays on for 24 hours, then turns off automatically
• Can be turned off sooner by pressing Ultra Ice again
• Works best when doors stay closed and temperatures are already set correctly

When it helps (and when it will not)

Fast-ice mode helps with demand; it does not correct underlying problems like warm freezer temps, frequent door openings, or water supply issues.

Situation	Fast-ice mode helps?	What to do next
You emptied the ice bin and need more ice quickly	Yes	Turn on Ultra Ice; minimize door openings
Ice production is consistently low	Sometimes	Check freezer temp, door closing, water pressure, filter
Dispenser will not dispense ice	No	Confirm doors are fully closed; unlock controls if locked

Quick checks to improve ice production

Use these steps whether Ultra Ice is on or off:

• After changing temperature settings, wait 24 hours before adjusting again.
• Allow 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to start making ice.
• Discard the first few batches of ice (about 24 cubes) after installation or long non-use.
• If ice is discolored or tastes off, replace the water filter; the listed option for this model is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.
• If you suspect a failed ice maker, the replacement is the refrigerator ice maker assembly AEQ73110205.

Why it matters

Using the correct fast-ice setting prevents unnecessary troubleshooting. If you only need faster recovery after heavy use, fast-ice mode is the right tool; if output stays poor, focus on temperature, door sealing, and water supply.
