Kenmore Elite 79571323410 refrigerator Parts

To reset the control board on your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571323410, we recommend doing a full power reset: disconnect power long enough for the electronic control to fully discharge, then restore power and confirm normal cooling and display operation. For model-specific reset steps, use the 79571323410 owner's manual.

Quick reset steps (safe power reset)

• Unplug the refrigerator, or switch OFF the dedicated circuit breaker.
• Wait 5 minutes (this clears most temporary control glitches).
• Restore power.
• Wait 1 to 2 minutes for the control to boot; listen for fans and compressor start.
• Confirm settings: refrigerator about 37°F and freezer about 0°F.
• If the display is still unresponsive, repeat the reset once with a 10-minute power-off.

What a reset can and cannot fix

Symptom	Reset often helps	Reset usually will not fix
Display frozen or buttons not responding	Yes	If keys are physically damaged
Cooling stopped after a power flicker	Yes	Sealed system or compressor failures
Random beeping or odd lights	Sometimes	Door switch or wiring problems
Error code showing	Sometimes	The underlying failed part

If problems return after the reset

A repeating issue typically points to a component problem rather than a one-time glitch.

• Check for a door that is not closing fully; test the refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A.
• If you hear a loud fan noise or warm temperatures, inspect the evaporator area; a failing fan motor can cause poor airflow.
• If the unit is warm and you hear clicking near the compressor, the overload protector or compressor circuit can be involved.
• If an error code appears, use the Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes reference to identify the likely system.

Why it matters

The control board manages compressor run time, defrost cycles, and fan operation. A proper power reset clears minor software lockups, but recurring symptoms help us narrow the issue to parts like switches, sensors, fans, or the compressor circuit.

Kenmore model numbers are designed to identify the product type and the original manufacturer; for your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571323410, the first three digits (795) point to the manufacturer family, and the remaining digits narrow down the exact design and version. For model-specific labeling details, use the 79571323410 owner's manual.

Where to find the model number on a Kenmore refrigerator

On most Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators, the model and serial tag is typically located in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the light
• Along the door frame when you open the refrigerator door
• Behind the lower toe grille (less common)
• On the back of the cabinet (least convenient)

How to interpret the number (what each section tells you)

Kenmore numbers are usually read in chunks. Here is the practical way we use them when matching parts and diagrams:

Section	Example from 79571323410	What it’s used for
Prefix (first 3 digits)	795	Manufacturer family identifier (helps match the correct parts system)
Base model + engineering digits	71323410	Narrows to the exact platform, features, and revisions

Why it matters when ordering parts

Using the full model number prevents mismatches, especially on high-variation systems like water filtration, ice makers, and controls.

• Ensures the correct fit for refrigerator water filters and housings
• Helps match the right ice maker assembly and wiring connectors
• Prevents ordering the wrong door bins, drawers, or slide rails
• Improves accuracy for electrical parts like control boards and door switches

Example: model-specific parts can vary

If you are replacing a filter on this model, we match by the full model number and the filter design; a common filter listing for this refrigerator is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.

Quick tips we recommend

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (include all digits)
• Use the full number, not just the 3-digit prefix
• If a part looks similar but the connector or mounting differs, re-check the model tag and the diagram callouts in the manual

Why it matters

Kenmore appliances are built by multiple manufacturers; the model number is the fastest way to identify the correct parts breakdown for your exact refrigerator configuration.

A failing compressor in your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571323410 usually shows up as poor cooling, nonstop running, clicking or buzzing near the back, or repeated overload trips. Before replacing the compressor, we confirm airflow, condenser cleanliness, and start components to avoid an unnecessary sealed-system repair.

Quick signs the compressor is failing

• Refrigerator and freezer temperatures keep rising even though the unit runs
• Compressor tries to start but clicks off (often every few minutes)
• Loud buzzing, humming, or knocking from the compressor area
• Compressor shell is extremely hot and cooling performance is weak
• Breaker trips or the compressor overload opens repeatedly

Rule out common look-alikes first (fast checks)

1. Check condenser airflow: clean the condenser coils and make sure the condenser fan (if equipped) runs.
2. Listen for the evaporator fan: if the freezer fan is not running, the refrigerator can warm up even with a good compressor.
3. Verify door sealing: warm air leaks can mimic a weak compressor.
4. Confirm the controls are calling for cooling: set temps colder and wait 10 to 15 minutes for a response.
5. Check for a “click-no-start” pattern: this often points to a start device or overload, not the compressor itself.

What the symptoms usually mean

Symptom	Most common cause	What we check next
Runs constantly, still warm	Dirty coils, airflow issue, sealed-system problem	Coils, fans, frost pattern
Clicks every few minutes	Overload/start device issue or locked rotor	Start components, amp draw
Loud buzz then click off	Hard-start condition	Overload, wiring, compressor amps
Freezer cold, fridge warm	Airflow/damper issue	Evaporator fan, air ducts

Parts that are often involved

If the compressor is not starting or is overheating, these related parts are commonly checked or replaced during diagnosis:

• Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D
• Wiring connections at the compressor and control board
• Condenser coils and airflow path

If testing confirms a sealed-system failure, the compressor itself is a major repair and typically requires a licensed technician for refrigerant handling.

Why it matters

A compressor replacement is one of the highest-cost refrigerator repairs. Spending a few minutes confirming airflow, fans, and overload behavior helps ensure you fix the real cause of the cooling problem the first time.

For model-specific component locations and access steps, use the 79571323410 manual.

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite 79571323410 bottom-mount refrigerator include no cooling or warm temperatures, ice maker or water dispenser failures, unusual noises, and interior lights not working. The most frequent root causes are airflow issues, a failing compressor, or an electronic control problem; use the 79571323410 manual to match symptoms to checks.

Most common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser area, evaporator fan issue, sealed-system/compressor problem
• Ice maker not making ice: ice maker assembly fault, water supply restriction, frozen fill tube
• Water tastes bad or flow is slow: clogged water filter
• Lights do not turn on: door switch not closing electrically
• Clicking, buzzing, or humming: compressor start/overload issue, fan motor noise

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm the controls are set correctly and the unit is not in a special mode (see the 79571323410 manual).
2. Make sure vents inside the fresh food and freezer sections are not blocked by food packages.
3. Listen for the evaporator fan; if the freezer is cold but the refrigerator is warm, airflow is a top suspect.
4. If water or ice is slow, replace the filter and flush several gallons.
5. If the lights stay off, test the door switch for a positive click and consistent operation.

Parts that commonly solve these problems (when diagnosis confirms)

Symptom	Common suspect part	Example for this model
Slow water, bad taste, no ice due to restriction	Water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
No ice or irregular ice production	Ice maker assembly	Lg refrigerator ice maker assembly model AEQ72909603 AEQ72909603
Lights not working or dispenser thinks door is open	Door switch	Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A
Warm temps with fan noise or no fan	Evaporator fan motor	Lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C
Clicking and no start	Compressor overload protector	Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D

Why it matters

Catching the symptom pattern early helps prevent food spoilage and avoids unnecessary part swaps. For example, a restricted water filter can mimic a bad ice maker, and a door switch issue can affect lights and dispenser behavior.

On Kenmore Elite model 79571323410, dH (often shown as Er dH) points to a defrost heating problem: the refrigerator is not sensing normal temperature rise during the defrost cycle. This can lead to frost buildup and warm temperatures if it is not corrected.

What to check first (fast, no parts swapping)

• Power reset: unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Look for symptoms: heavy frost on the rear freezer panel, weak airflow, or warming fresh food section.
• Confirm doors are sealing: gaps or torn gaskets can cause excess frost that overwhelms defrost.
• Listen for the evaporator fan: if airflow is low, cooling issues can mimic defrost faults.
• Check for a blocked drain: ice around the evaporator area can indicate a defrost or drain issue.

Common causes of a dH / Er dH defrost error

In this Kenmore 795-series bottom-mount design, the defrost system relies on several components working together.

Likely cause	What you may notice	Typical fix
Defrost heater circuit issue	Frost blanket on evaporator cover	Diagnose heater circuit, replace failed component
Temperature sensing issue	Error returns after reset, temps swing	Test/replace sensor if out of range
Control not driving defrost	Repeated defrost-related errors	Professional diagnosis, control replacement if confirmed

A commonly replaced item when troubleshooting temperature feedback is the refrigerator temperature sensor 6500JB2002X.

Why it matters

When defrost heat is not working correctly, frost can block the evaporator and airflow. That forces longer run times, causes uneven temperatures, and can eventually stop cooling in the refrigerator section.

Helpful references for this model

• Use the 79571323410 manual to locate diagnostic steps, component access panels, and wiring/connector locations.
• For code definitions and quick checks, see Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571323410 is a bottom-mount (French door) refrigerator with an overall capacity of 30.59 cu. ft. (about 21.6 cu. ft. fresh food plus 9.0 cu. ft. freezer). For the exact published width and clearance requirements, use the 79571323410 owner's manual.

Published size specifications (key measurements)

These are the specs most customers use for delivery, cabinet fit, and door swing planning:

• Depth without handle: 36.22 in.
• Depth with handle: 38.27 in.
• Height to top of case: 68.94 in.
• Height to top of hinge: 70.118 in.
• Total capacity: 30.59 cu. ft.

Quick reference table

Spec	Value	What to use it for
Depth (no handle)	36.22 in.	Cabinet opening depth planning
Depth (with handle)	38.27 in.	Walkway clearance, door swing space
Height (top of case)	68.94 in.	Fit under cabinets or soffits
Height (top of hinge)	70.118 in.	True max height for installation
Capacity (total)	30.59 cu. ft.	Storage space comparison

How we recommend measuring at home

Even with published specs, we recommend confirming your real-world fit (floors and leveling legs change the final height):

• Measure height to the highest point (often the hinge cover)
• Measure depth from the back to the front; note whether you are including handles
• Measure width at the widest cabinet point (use the manual for the official width)
• Allow ventilation space behind and above per the manual
• Confirm door swing and drawer pull-out clearance

Why it matters

Depth and hinge height are the two measurements that most often cause installation problems. Using the correct “with handle” depth and “to top of hinge” height prevents tight fits, blocked doors, and poor airflow.

Most Kenmore refrigerators last 10 to 15 years. For a Kenmore Elite bottom-mount like model 79571323410, reaching the high end of that range usually comes down to airflow (clean coils), tight door seals, and keeping the cooling system and ice and water features maintained per the 79571323410 owner's manual.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

A refrigerator’s life is mostly determined by how hard the sealed system and fans have to work.

• Condenser coil cleanliness (dirty coils raise compressor run time)
• Door seal condition (air leaks cause temperature swings and frost)
• Room temperature and ventilation around the cabinet
• Ice maker and water system upkeep (clogs and leaks create secondary problems)
• How full it runs (very empty or overpacked can reduce airflow)

Maintenance that helps you hit 15 years

These are the highest-impact habits for a bottom-mount refrigerator.

Task	How often	Why it helps
Clean condenser coils and grille	Every 6 to 12 months	Reduces compressor strain
Check and clean door gaskets	Every 3 to 6 months	Prevents warm air leaks
Replace the water filter (if equipped)	About every 6 months	Protects water flow and taste
Keep vents clear inside compartments	Ongoing	Maintains even cooling

If your model uses the filter shown for this unit, the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 is the matched part listing.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is running hot, leaking air, or restricted by a clogged filter typically cycles longer and harder. That extra runtime accelerates wear on key components like the compressor, evaporator fan motor, and control board.

On Kenmore Elite model 79571323410 bottom-mount refrigerators, the water filter is typically installed in the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, seated in a dedicated filter housing or holder. Use the 79571323410 owner's manual to confirm the exact location and the correct insertion orientation for your filter.

Common water filter locations on bottom-mount Kenmore refrigerators

Most bottom-freezer designs place the filter where it is easy to access without pulling the unit out.

• Upper-right corner inside the refrigerator compartment (in a filter head/housing)
• Upper-left corner inside the refrigerator compartment
• Base grille area at the bottom front (less common on many bottom-mount designs)
• Inside the refrigerator compartment near the lower crisper area (some configurations)

How to spot the filter housing quickly

Look for a small door, round cap, or push-button style cover labeled “Filter” or “Water.”

What you see	What it usually means	What to do next
Flip-down or swing door marked “Filter”	Filter is behind that door	Open door, remove old filter, insert new
Round twist cap	Quarter-turn style mount	Twist to remove, align tabs, twist to lock
Push-in, pop-out filter	Spring-loaded mount	Push to release, pull out, push new in until it seats

Replacing the filter (typical steps)

Follow the steps in the manual for your exact housing style; these steps fit most Kenmore bottom-mount units.

• Turn the filter counterclockwise or press-release (depending on the mount)
• Pull the old filter straight out
• Align the new filter so it seats fully in the holder (many styles require the curved side oriented upward)
• Lock it in place (twist until snug or push until it clicks)
• Run water for several minutes to flush air and carbon fines

If you need the correct replacement, we match this model to the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.

Why it matters

A correctly located and fully seated water filter helps maintain water flow to the dispenser and ice maker, improves taste and odor reduction, and prevents leaks caused by misalignment or an incomplete lock-in.

Water pooling on the bottom of your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571323410 is usually caused by a clogged defrost drain that lets meltwater overflow into the fresh food compartment. Less often, a leaking water filter connection or a door seal issue creates excess moisture that collects inside.

Most common cause: clogged defrost drain

During normal defrosting, water should flow down a drain to the drain pan underneath. If the drain is blocked by ice, food debris, or sludge, water backs up and ends up pooling on the refrigerator floor.

What we recommend checking first:

• Unplug the refrigerator.
• Remove the bottom shelf and crisper drawers to look for standing water.
• Inspect the drain opening (typically at the back of the compartment near the evaporator cover area).
• Melt any ice with warm water (not boiling) and clear debris with a turkey baster or squeeze bottle.
• Flush the drain until water flows freely to the drain pan.

For model-specific access steps and panel locations, use the 79571323410 owner's manual.

Other likely causes to rule out

If the drain is clear and water returns, focus on the water supply and door sealing.

• Water filter not fully seated or O-ring nicked, causing slow seepage
• Cracked filter cover or housing area near the filter
• Ice maker fill tube leaking or splashing (water line issue)
• Door not closing tightly due to a bin or drawer out of position
• Door gasket not sealing, causing heavy condensation that drips and pools

If you suspect the filter area, confirm the correct filter and installation steps; the correct replacement for this model is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.

Quick symptom guide

What you see	Most likely cause	Best first step
Clear water under crispers	Defrost drain clogged	Thaw and flush drain
Water near filter area	Filter not seated or housing leak	Reinstall filter, inspect seals
Heavy moisture, droplets	Door gasket or door alignment	Clean gasket, check closure

Why it matters

Pooling water can lead to odors, frozen puddles, and damage to drawers and shelving. Fixing the drain or a small leak early also helps your refrigerator maintain stable temperatures and reduces compressor run time.

For filter-specific tips, follow how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator.
