Kenmore 79571013010 refrigerator Parts

Water leaking from the bottom of your Kenmore 79571013010 refrigerator is usually caused by a loose water supply connection, a cracked or overflowing defrost drain pan, or a clogged/iced defrost drain that sends meltwater onto the floor instead of into the pan. Use the 79571013010 owner's manual to confirm access points and safe handling steps.

• Water supply line connection: Look for drips at the shutoff valve, compression nut, or where the line connects to the refrigerator.
• Cracked or shifted drain pan: Check the pan underneath for cracks, warping, or overflow.
• Clogged defrost drain: Water backs up during defrost and leaks out near the bottom.
• Ice maker or dispenser line leak: Small tubing leaks can run down and appear as a bottom leak.
• Door left ajar or bad seal: Excess frost can overwhelm the defrost drain and create puddles.

1. Confirm the liquid is water (not oily). Water usually points to the defrost drain or supply line.
2. Inspect the water line and fittings; snug the connection (do not overtighten).
3. Check the drain pan for cracks and make sure it is seated correctly.
4. Look for ice buildup on the freezer floor or under the crisper area; that often indicates a defrost drain issue.
5. Inspect internal tubing for kinks or splits; if you find damage, replace the line with the correct part such as refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602 when it matches your leak location.

Bottom leaks can damage flooring and also lead to ice buildup around the evaporator area, which reduces airflow and cooling performance. Fixing the leak source early helps protect the compressor and keeps temperatures stable.

If your Kenmore 79571013010 bottom-mount refrigerator isn’t making ice, the most common causes are a shutoff water supply, a frozen or restricted fill path, or an ice maker that isn’t cycling. Start with the simple checks first, then move to the ice maker and water system.

• Confirm the ice maker is turned ON and the shutoff arm is down (or the switch is on, depending on your style).
• Make sure the freezer is cold enough; best ice production happens around 0°F.
• Verify the household water valve is fully open and the supply line isn’t kinked behind the refrigerator.
• Dump old clumped ice and make sure the bin seats fully.
• Look for a frozen fill tube or ice blockage where water enters the ice maker.

1. Reset power: Unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker) for 2 minutes, then restore power.
2. Check for fill tube freeze-up: If the fill tube is iced over, thaw it with a hair dryer on low and improve door sealing and airflow.
3. Test water flow to the ice maker: If the dispenser water is weak (if equipped) or you hear no fill sound, focus on the water supply path.
4. Inspect the ice maker assembly: If the mold never fills or the ejector never moves, the ice maker may not be cycling and may need replacement.

An ice maker depends on steady water pressure, a clear fill path, and correct freezer temperature. A small restriction (like a kinked line or a frozen fill tube) can stop ice production completely and can also lead to leaks or ice buildup.

Use the 79571013010 manual to locate the ice maker controls, confirm normal operating temperatures, and follow any model-specific reset steps.

Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79571013010 is a 27.7 cu. ft. refrigerator (total capacity). You can confirm the exact breakdown and specifications in the 79571013010 owner's manual.

• Check the specifications section in the 79571013010 owner's manual.
• Look for the rating label inside the fresh food compartment (commonly on a side wall).
• If your unit has a product label behind the toe grille, check there as well.
• Use the model number 79571013010 exactly when comparing specs or ordering parts.

Knowing the cubic-foot capacity helps when comparing replacement refrigerators, planning food storage, and choosing organization accessories. It also helps set realistic expectations for airflow; overpacking can block vents and cause warm spots.

If you are checking capacity because the refrigerator is not cooling correctly, start with airflow and fan operation. A failed evaporator fan can cause warm temperatures in the fresh food section; the lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C is a common replacement part on this model family.
