Kenmore 59673509201 refrigerator Parts

If your Kenmore refrigerator 59673509201 runs but won’t cool, repeatedly clicks while trying to start, or the compressor area gets very hot with little or no cooling, the compressor or its start circuit is failing. Use the sound and troubleshooting guidance in the 59673509201 owner's manual to separate normal noises from a no-cool problem.

Signs that strongly point to a compressor or start-circuit failure

Look for a pattern of symptoms, not just one:

• Freezer and fresh food sections both stay warm while the unit runs
• Repeated clicking as the compressor tries to start, then stops
• Loud humming followed by shutdown (overload trip)
• Compressor runs almost nonstop but temperatures barely change
• Little to no vibration from the compressor when it should be running

Rule out common “bad compressor” look-alikes first

These issues can mimic compressor failure:

• Heavy frost on the freezer back wall (often a defrost problem)
• Evaporator fan not moving air through the refrigerator
• Dirty condenser area causing long run times and weak cooling
• Recent move: the manual advises letting the refrigerator sit upright about 30 minutes before plugging in so oil returns to the compressor

What you observe	Most likely direction	What to do next
Clicking, won’t start	Start device/overload or compressor	Have the start circuit and compressor electrically tested
Runs constantly, still warm	Sealed system or compressor not pumping	Technician diagnosis required
Solid frost sheet	Defrost system issue	Check defrost components and airflow

Parts that can be involved in no-cool complaints

If you see heavy frost or poor airflow, these model-compatible parts are common suspects:

• Refrigerator adaptive defrost board W11227239 (defrost not clearing frost)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 12002744 (no airflow from freezer)

Why it matters

A true compressor or sealed-system failure keeps both compartments warm and can spoil food quickly; ruling out defrost and airflow problems first prevents unnecessary, expensive repairs.

To tell what model Kenmore refrigerator you have, look for the model and serial number sticker inside the fresh food (refrigerator) section. For Kenmore model 59673509201, the Use & Care Guide specifies the sticker is on the left wall of the refrigerator compartment; confirm the full number before ordering parts or checking features in the owner's manual.

Where to find the model number label

Check these common locations first (in this order):

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left side wall (most common for this Kenmore series)
• On the ceiling of the fresh food section near the light housing
• Behind or beside a crisper drawer (you may need to slide the drawer out)
• Behind the lower kick plate or toe grille (some installations)

What the model number looks like (and why it matters)

Kenmore refrigerator model numbers are typically a long number string. For this bottom-mount platform, you may see similar models listed together in documentation (for example, 596.73502201, 596.73503201, 596.73504201, 596.73509201). Match the entire model number on the sticker to avoid ordering the wrong door gasket, ice maker, or control part.

Quick check table

What you see	What to do next
Model starts with 596	Use the full model number to look up the correct parts list and diagrams
Sticker is readable but worn	Take a photo, zoom in, and write down the full model and serial
Sticker missing or damaged	Check the owner's manual and compare features (ice maker, dispenser, door style) to narrow the exact model

If you are ordering parts after you find the model

Once you confirm 59673509201, you can order common replacements from the parts list for that model, such as the refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q or the refrigerator switch W11396033. If you are searching across multiple Kenmore models, we also list parts by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Why it matters

The model number determines the exact fit and wiring style for parts like the ice maker assembly, evaporator fan motor, adaptive defrost board, and door gaskets. Using the correct model number prevents returns and helps your refrigerator cool and dispense water properly.

Water leaking from the bottom of your Kenmore 59673509201 bottom-mount refrigerator is typically caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain, or a drip from the water supply line, valve, or ice maker. Start by checking for freezer ice buildup and any wet tubing at the rear.

Quick checks to pinpoint the source

• Freezer floor ice sheet: points to a defrost drain backup.
• Puddle location: front/center usually drain related; back/bottom often water line or valve.
• Door closing and gaskets: poor sealing lets humid air in, increasing frost and meltwater.
• Ice maker connected: leaks often show up after a fill cycle.
• Tubing type: the manual recommends copper; plastic tubing is more likely to seep or crack.

Most common fix: clear the defrost drain

A blocked drain prevents defrost water from reaching the drain pan; it overflows, refreezes, then melts and leaks out the base.

• Unplug the refrigerator.
• Remove freezer bins/drawer to access the rear freezer panel area.
• Melt ice with warm towels or a hair dryer on low.
• Flush the drain opening with warm water until it drains freely.

For panel locations and access steps specific to 59673509201, use the 59673509201 owner's manual.

If it is a water supply or ice maker leak

Use the symptom guide below to narrow it down.

Symptom	Most likely source	What to check
Water near back/bottom	Supply line or inlet valve	Loose fittings, cracked tubing, slow drip
Leak after ice maker runs	Ice maker/fill tube	Misaligned fill, ice blockage, seepage
Slow flow, small cubes	Low water pressure	Confirm 20 to 100 PSI; 35 PSI minimum with filter

If the leak is coming from the ice maker assembly itself, replacement is a dependable repair; see refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q.

Why it matters

Stopping the leak prevents recurring freezer ice buildup, temperature swings, and floor damage.
