Kenmore Elite 79579049313 bottom-mount refrigerator Parts

Your Kenmore Elite bottom-mount refrigerator model 79579049313 is typically sold in the 30.6 cubic foot class. For the exact capacity for your specific configuration and color code, confirm it in the 79579049313 owner's manual.

We recommend checking the capacity listing in the specifications section of the manual or on the model and serial label.

• Look in the manual for a specifications or product information section
• Check the model and serial label inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall)
• Match your full model (including any color code) to the correct spec line
• If you are comparing refrigerators, use total capacity (not just refrigerator section)
• Keep the model number handy when ordering parts like an ice maker or water valve

Capacity affects how you compare replacement units, plan food storage, and choose compatible accessories. It also helps when troubleshooting cooling complaints because an overfilled compartment can restrict airflow.

For the Kenmore Elite bottom-mount refrigerator model 79579049313, the exact cabinet dimensions vary by the specific 795.7904* configuration and are listed in the product specifications section of the 79579049313 owner's manual. Most 30-inch-class bottom-freezer refrigerators are roughly 30 to 33 inches wide, 68 to 70 inches tall, and 33 to 36 inches deep (not including handle depth).

We recommend using the specifications and installation clearance guidance in the manual so you measure the right points (cabinet vs. doors vs. handles).

• Check the product specifications section for width, height, and depth
• Confirm whether depth is listed with doors and with handles
• Measure your opening and compare to the required clearances
• If you are moving the refrigerator, measure the narrowest doorway and any turns
• If doors need to come off for moving, note hinge and wiring locations before disconnecting

Refrigerator dimensions can look “off” if you measure different points. Use this quick guide.

Correct dimensions help prevent delivery problems, door-swing interference, and airflow issues that can affect cooling performance and ice maker operation.

If you are planning a tight fit, we also recommend confirming door hardware condition; worn hinge components can affect alignment over time (for example, a refrigerator door hinge bushing 4984JJ3003A).

On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79579049313, the ER IF code points to a problem in the ice-room airflow system, most often the ice fan that pushes cold air to the ice maker area. Restoring airflow (and fixing the cause) typically clears the code; see the 79579049313 owner's manual for diagnostics steps.

• Power reset: unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Make sure the freezer door closes fully and the gasket seals all the way around.
• Look for frost or ice buildup that could be blocking an air duct or fan cover.
• Confirm freezer temperature is set correctly and not fluctuating.
• Listen for a fan running when the freezer door switch is pressed (fan noise may be faint).

If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these model-compatible parts are commonly related to ice production and airflow:

• Lg refrigerator ice maker assembly model AEQ72909603 AEQ72909603 (ice maker assembly)
• Lg refrigerator electronic control board EBR81182755 (controls fan operation and diagnostics)

The ice maker compartment depends on steady cold airflow. When airflow is blocked or the fan/control system fails, temperatures rise, ice production drops, and the refrigerator may display ER IF to prevent ongoing icing and performance problems.

Yes. For the Kenmore Elite 79579049313 bottom-mount refrigerator, the most reliable reset is a power reset: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker) for about 5 minutes, then restore power and set the temperature controls back to your normal settings. See the 79579049313 owner's manual for control-panel specifics.

• Power reset (recommended): Unplug for ~5 minutes, then plug back in.
• Breaker reset: Turn the refrigerator circuit breaker off for ~5 minutes, then back on.
• Control reset (settings): After power is restored, reselect your refrigerator and freezer temperature settings.
• Icemaker reset (symptom-based): Turn the icemaker off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on.
• After an outage: Give the unit time to stabilize; cooling and ice production can take several hours.

1. Move any items blocking airflow inside the refrigerator and freezer.
2. Unplug the power cord (or turn off the circuit breaker).
3. Wait 5 minutes.
4. Restore power.
5. Confirm the controls are set to your desired temperatures (not OFF).

A reset clears minor electronic glitches and restores normal control operation after a power interruption, but it will not correct mechanical problems like restricted airflow, a failed fan motor, or a water supply issue.

If symptoms return quickly after a reset, these model-compatible parts are common suspects:

• Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU73753101 (no ice, no water, weak fill)
• Lg refrigerator ice maker assembly model AEQ72909603 (no ice, irregular harvest)
• Refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005N (frost buildup, warming)
• Refrigerator temperature sensor 6500JB2002X (temperature swings)
