Kenmore Elite 79571054013 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore Elite model 79571054013, the model and serial number are printed on an identification label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, on the right-hand side wall. Use that label when ordering parts or checking the correct manual.

Where to look first (fastest)

Check these common label locations on bottom-mount Kenmore Elite refrigerators:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on the right-hand side wall (most common for 795.7105 series)
• On the side wall near the crisper area (look behind drawers if needed)
• On the inside wall near the door opening (fresh food section)
• On the freezer compartment wall (less common, but worth checking)

For the exact label location and how it is referenced in the documentation, use the 79571054013 owner's manual.

What the label looks like and what to write down

The identification label typically includes:

• Model number (example format: 795.7105*)
• Serial number
• Electrical ratings (volts/amps)

Quick checklist

Item	Why you need it
Model number	Ensures parts diagrams and replacements match your exact build
Serial number	Helps confirm production variation and compatible revisions
Brand (Kenmore Elite)	Narrows parts families and documentation

Why it matters

Kenmore Elite refrigerators often share similar styling across multiple model numbers, but internal components (like the ice maker, water inlet valve, or door switch) can differ by revision. Using the exact model number from the ID label prevents ordering the wrong part.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use. For Kenmore Elite model 79571054013, consistent maintenance like cleaning condenser coils and keeping door gaskets sealing well helps the sealed system and compressor run efficiently for the long term (see the 79571054013 owner's manual).

Typical lifespan and what usually ends a refrigerator’s life

Most refrigerators are replaced because a major cooling-system repair becomes uneconomical, not because the cabinet “wears out.” Common end-of-life drivers include:

• Compressor or sealed-system failure (cooling loss)
• Chronic temperature swings from airflow or fan issues
• Door gasket leaks that cause long run times and frost problems
• Ice maker or dispenser issues that become recurring repairs
• Heavy wear from frequent door openings and warm room conditions

Maintenance that extends life (high impact)

The Kenmore Elite use and care guide calls out routine care areas such as condenser coils and door liner and gaskets. We recommend:

• Clean the condenser coils regularly to reduce compressor run time
• Keep door gaskets clean and pliable so doors seal tightly
• Avoid overpacking; leave space for air circulation
• Minimize long door-open times (reduces warm air load)
• Replace the water filter on schedule to protect water flow and taste

Quick reference: lifespan expectations by component

Component	Typical service life	What you’ll notice when it’s failing
Compressor / sealed system	10 to 15 years	Warm fridge/freezer, long run times, poor recovery
Evaporator/condenser fan	5 to 12 years	Noisy fan, warm temps, weak airflow
Ice maker/dispenser parts	5 to 10 years	No ice, clumping, slow dispense
Door gaskets	5 to 10 years	Moisture, frost, warm spots near doors

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer than normal uses more energy and puts extra wear on the compressor. The manual notes that modern refrigerators can run a significant portion of the time, especially with warm room temperatures and frequent door openings; reducing those loads helps the unit last longer.

Kenmore Elite launched as a premium Kenmore line in the late 1990s; the exact “year it came out” for your specific refrigerator depends on when model 79571054013 was manufactured and sold. For the most accurate date range, use the serial number decoding guidance in the 79571054013 owner's manual.

How to find the year your Kenmore Elite 79571054013 was made

We use the refrigerator’s serial number to pinpoint the manufacturing date. On most bottom-mount refrigerators, the serial/model tag is typically inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall), and sometimes behind a crisper drawer.

• Locate the model and serial label inside the refrigerator compartment
• Write down the full serial number exactly as shown
• Check the “Models/Modelos/Modèles” section to confirm you have the correct series (795.7105*)
• Use the manual’s identification and service information to interpret the serial number format
• If the label is damaged, take a clear photo and compare characters carefully

What “Kenmore Elite” means vs. the model year

“Kenmore Elite” is a product line name, not a single release-year product. Kenmore Elite refrigerators were produced across many years with different designs, control boards, ice makers, and water filtration systems.

Quick comparison

Term	What it tells you	What it does not tell you
Kenmore Elite	Premium feature tier within Kenmore	Exact manufacturing year
795.7105* / 79571054013	Specific refrigerator platform and model	Exact build week without serial
Serial number	Build date code (varies by manufacturer)	Purchase date (unless you have receipt)

Why it matters

Knowing the manufacturing year helps us match the correct replacement parts (like a water filter, door switch, or ice maker assembly) and choose the right troubleshooting steps from the manual.

If you are also trying to match the correct filter for this model, the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 is a common maintenance item for the water and ice system.

On Kenmore Elite bottom-mount refrigerators like model 79571054013, the most common problems are weak cooling, frost buildup, water leaks, and ice maker or dispenser issues. Start with airflow, cleaning, and door-seal checks; then test components such as fans, valves, and switches.

Most common symptoms and likely causes

• Warm refrigerator or freezer: dirty condenser coils, blocked vents, evaporator fan issue
• Compressor runs a lot: frequent door openings, warm room temperature, dirty coils
• Frost or ice buildup: door not sealing, door left ajar, defrost system trouble
• Water under the unit or ice in the bottom: clogged or frozen drain path, drain tube issue
• No ice or slow water: restricted filter, low supply pressure, inlet valve problem
• Rattling or vibration: refrigerator not level, cabinet touching wall

Quick checks we recommend first

• Set temps near 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer; allow 24 hours to stabilize.
• Vacuum and brush condenser coils and the grille area.
• Confirm doors close fully; inspect gaskets for gaps and tears.
• Keep packages from blocking air vents and return ducts.
• For ice and water: replace the filter on schedule and flush water after replacement.

Model-matched parts to check (when symptoms point there)

Symptom	Part to check	Example model-matched part
Slow water, bad taste	Water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
No ice or weak water (good supply)	Water inlet valve	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601
Ice maker not cycling	Ice maker assembly	Ice maker assembly (AEQ73110203) - refrigerator ice making component by lg AEQ73110203
Lights or dispenser act up when door moves	Door switch	Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A

Why it matters

Most “big” complaints trace back to airflow, coil cleanliness, leveling, or water restriction. Fixing those first restores temperatures faster and helps you avoid unnecessary part replacement.

Helpful references

• Use the 79571054013 owner's manual for control settings, cleaning steps, and the troubleshooting guide.
• If the display shows a code, use Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes.
