Kenmore Elite 79558823900 refrigerator Parts

Yes. On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79558823900, the control panel includes a FILTER RESET button (press and hold about 3 seconds after changing the water filter). For broader “reset” needs, a power reset and exiting Demo Mode are the most common fixes; see the 79558823900 owner's manual.

Different issues use different reset actions:

• Water filter light on: press and hold FILTER RESET for about 3 seconds.
• Cooling not working but lights/display work: check for Demo (Demonstration) Mode.
• Control glitch after a power interruption: do a power reset.
• Ice and water issues: confirm water supply, filter condition, and valve operation.

1. Power reset: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker) for 2 to 5 minutes, then restore power.
2. Exit Demo Mode (cooling disabled): open one door, then press Ultra Ice and Ref. Temp together for 5 seconds.
3. Reset the filter indicator (after replacing the filter): press and hold FILTER RESET for 3 seconds.

Using the right reset prevents unnecessary part replacement. For example, Demo Mode disables cooling, and a filter reset only clears the reminder light; neither fixes a water supply problem.

If you are troubleshooting water flow or ice production on this model, the refrigerator water inlet valve assembly 5221JA2006D is a common component to check when the household supply and filter are known good.

The cubic-foot capacity for Kenmore Elite model 79558823900 is provided in the product specifications for your exact model; use the 79558823900 owner's manual to locate the “Specifications” or “Product record” details, or confirm it on the rating label inside the fresh food section.

Use these model-specific checks; they give you the precise number (not a series estimate):

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door and look for the rating label on an inside side wall, often near the crisper area.
• Find a line labeled “Total capacity”, “Total volume”, or “Capacity” (listed in cu. ft.).
• In the 79558823900 owner's manual, check the specifications section (often near the front “Product record” pages or near the installation information).
• If your label shows a model format like 795.5882*, match the full identifier (the asterisk indicates a color code) to ensure you are reading the correct spec.

If you are planning cabinet space or estimating storage while you confirm the exact spec, most side-by-side refrigerators of this size class land in a predictable range.

• Use the typical range only for rough planning
• Use the rating label or manual for the exact cubic feet
• Keep vents clear; usable space depends on airflow

Knowing the exact cubic feet helps you compare like-for-like models, plan food storage, and avoid overpacking that blocks air circulation and causes warm spots.

To tell the age of your Kenmore Elite refrigerator, we use the serial number (not just the model number) from the rating label and decode its date code. For model 79558823900, the model prefix helps identify the manufacturer family, but the serial number provides the build date.

Check these common locations on a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light
• On the door frame behind the crisper drawers
• Behind the base grille area (less common)

For label location and general product identification info, use the 79558823900 owner's manual.

Kenmore is a brand name; different manufacturers built different Kenmore models. The first three digits of the model number are the source prefix.

Once you have the serial number, decode it using the manufacturer’s format (the format varies by builder and production era). In most cases, the serial number includes:

• A plant or production code
• A year code (single digit or two digits)
• A month or week code
• A sequence number

• Use the serial number, not the purchase date, to estimate manufacturing age
• Decode the entire serial number; don’t rely on only the first character
• If the label is worn, take a photo and zoom in to confirm characters

Knowing the manufacturing date helps us match the right refrigerator parts (like a control board, door gasket, or water inlet valve) and choose the best troubleshooting path for issues such as cooling problems, dispenser failures, or ice maker performance.

Common problems we see on the Kenmore Elite 79558823900 side-by-side refrigerator include warm temperatures (often from airflow issues or control settings), ice maker and water dispenser troubles (water supply, filter, or valve related), and noisy or long run times. Use the 79558823900 owner's manual troubleshooting guide to match symptoms to the right fix.

• Refrigerator or freezer too warm: doors opened often, large food loads, blocked air vents, or controls set too low (wait 24 hours between adjustments).
• Ice maker not producing ice or slow ice: freezer not cold enough, ice maker switch off, door left open, or water supply not connected.
• Small ice cubes: restricted household shutoff valve or low water flow.
• Bad-tasting or smelly ice: old ice, unwrapped food odors, dirty ice bin, or water quality issues (a filter can help).
• Lights not working: burned-out bulb (replace with same wattage, size, and shape).
• Compressor seems to run too much: warm room, frequent door openings, or recent loading; modern units can run 40% to 80% of the time at normal room temps.

1. Confirm doors seal and close fully; clean sticky gaskets and the surfaces they touch.
2. Verify temperature controls; adjust in small steps and wait 24 hours between changes.
3. Make sure air vents are not blocked by food packages.
4. For ice and water, confirm the house water supply is on and the line is not kinked.
5. Dump old ice and wash the ice bin if odor or taste is the complaint.

Temperature stability and proper airflow protect food, reduce frost, and keep the compressor from running excessively. Water and ice issues are often simple supply or maintenance problems, but fixing them early helps prevent leaks and dispenser damage.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator typically lasts 12 to 15 years. For your Kenmore Elite 79558823900 side-by-side, steady temperatures, clean airflow around the cabinet, and good door sealing are the biggest factors that keep the compressor and fans from running excessively; see the 79558823900 owner's manual for model-specific care and operating guidance.

• Ventilation and condenser cleanliness: restricted airflow makes the compressor run longer.
• Door gasket condition: air leaks force longer run times and can cause frost issues.
• Temperature settings and stability: frequent changes and warm settings increase workload.
• Usage habits: frequent door openings and overloading reduce efficiency.
• Water and ice system health: leaks or low flow can lead to icing and service issues.

The manual lists these normal-use targets for the 79558823900:

Tip: After changing a setting, wait 24 hours before adjusting again so the system can stabilize.

• Vacuum dust from the lower rear area and keep clearance for airflow.
• Confirm doors close fully; adjust leveling if the doors drift open.
• Keep food organized so the door stays open for less time.
• Replace burned-out bulbs with the same wattage, size, and shape (unplug first).
• If you have dispenser leaks or low water flow, inspect tubing and fittings; the refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602 is one common water-line component used on this model.

Most “early failures” come from the refrigerator running too much due to heat, poor airflow, or air leaks. Reducing run time protects major components like the compressor, evaporator fan motor, and control boards, which helps your Kenmore Elite 79558823900 reach the full 12 to 15 year lifespan.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79558823900 is a side-by-side refrigerator; the manual for the 795.5882* series confirms the model family but does not list exact exterior dimensions in the excerpts we have. Most 33-inch class side-by-side refrigerators measure about 33 in W x 31 to 34 in D x 67 to 70 in H; use the 79558823900 owner's manual for the exact spec for your color code.

• Check the specifications/dimensions section in the 79558823900 owner's manual.
• Measure width at the widest point (often the doors, not the cabinet).
• Measure depth two ways: cabinet only, then to the front of the handles.
• Measure height from floor to the top hinge cover.
• If the floor is uneven, level the unit first; leveling changes door alignment and can slightly affect height reference.

The manual calls for airflow clearance around the refrigerator; plan space before you push the unit into place.

Correct sizing prevents door swing issues, improves airflow for efficient cooling, and avoids vibration noise. It also helps when ordering parts like a door gasket or hinge because door alignment and sealing depend on proper fit and leveling.

On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79558823900, the model and serial number are printed on an identification label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. For this model, the label is located on the right-hand side of the refrigerator compartment; confirm the exact spot using the 79558823900 owner's manual.

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door and scan the right interior side
• Check the side wall area near the front edge where the door gasket meets the cabinet
• Look around the crisper drawer area (labels are often placed nearby)
• Use a flashlight and look for a white or silver sticker/plate
• Write down both the model and serial numbers exactly as shown

The full model number is what we use to match the correct Kenmore refrigerator parts list and ensure fit for items like a door gasket, electronic control board, or water inlet valve. One missing digit can point to a different design.

• Clean it gently with a damp cloth, then dry it
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in
• If the sticker is damaged, check for a second copy inside the compartment in the same general area

Water leaks on the Kenmore Elite 79558823900 side-by-side refrigerator usually come from a clogged defrost drain (water backs up and spills), a loose or cracked water line connection, or a leaking water inlet valve. We recommend checking the water line routing and fittings first, then the defrost drain.

• Look for the leak source: under the freezer, under the fresh food section, or behind the unit.
• Check the water supply connection at the back; tighten any fitting that drips (per the 79558823900 owner's manual).
• Inspect the dispenser/ice maker tubing for splits, kinks, or rub-through.
• Check the defrost drain: if you see ice or standing water under the freezer floor, the drain is likely clogged.
• Confirm the tubing is clamped so it cannot vibrate against the cabinet or wall (vibration can loosen fittings).

If you find the leak is in the water line system, these model-matched parts are common fixes:

• Refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602 (cracked or pinched tubing)
• Refrigerator water tube fitting 4932JA3002C (leaking compression-style connection)
• Refrigerator water inlet valve assembly 5221JA2006D (valve seepage or internal leak)

A small drip can turn into floor damage and can also cause ice buildup in the freezer if the defrost drain is restricted. Fixing the source quickly helps protect the evaporator area, wiring, and nearby flooring.
