Kenmore Elite 79571059013 refrigerator Parts

If your Kenmore Elite 79571059013 is warm at the bottom of the fresh food section, the most common causes are restricted airflow (blocked vents, overpacked shelves), dirty condenser coils, or a fan issue that prevents cold air from circulating. Start with cleaning and airflow checks, then verify temperature settings in the 79571059013 owner's manual.

Quick checks that fix most “warm at the bottom” complaints

• Set temperatures to the recommended starting point: 37°F for the refrigerator and 0°F for the freezer; wait 24 hours after any change.
• Make sure food packages are not blocking air vents; cold air has to move from the freezer into the refrigerator.
• Clean dust and pet hair from the condenser area; restricted condenser airflow reduces overall cooling.
• Confirm doors close fully and are not being held open by bins or containers.
• Avoid frequent door openings and large warm food loads; both temporarily raise temperatures.

What to check next (in order)

1. Airflow inside the refrigerator: If the top feels cooler than the bottom, vents are often blocked or the evaporator airflow is weak.
2. Condenser cleanliness: A dirty condenser makes the compressor run longer and can leave the refrigerator section undercooled.
3. Fan-related symptoms: If you hear unusual fan noise, or cooling is uneven, inspect the fan blade and surrounding area for ice buildup or obstructions.

Helpful part examples for this model

Symptom	What it can point to	Example part for model 79571059013
Warm temps and long run times	Poor heat release at condenser	Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73784701
Weak or no airflow in fresh food	Circulation problem	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5901JA1021A

Why it matters

Bottom-warm temperatures usually mean the refrigerator is not moving cold air efficiently. Fixing airflow and heat removal early helps protect food, reduces compressor run time, and prevents icing problems that can worsen cooling.

When to stop and get service

• The freezer is also warming above 0°F.
• You see heavy frost or ice buildup that returns quickly after defrosting.
• The compressor is extremely hot, clicking, or cycling off and on.

For Kenmore Elite model 79571059013, the warranty covers defects in the sealed refrigerant system for 5 years from the purchase date when the refrigerator is installed, operated, and maintained as instructed. The standard coverage for other non-consumable parts is 1 year for private family use; labor is not covered beyond the first year.

What “compressor warranty” usually means

On this Kenmore Elite bottom-mount refrigerator, compressor-related coverage is handled under the sealed refrigerant system warranty (the system that includes the compressor and refrigerant tubing).

Use the warranty section in the 79571059013 owner's manual to confirm the exact terms for your purchase date and usage type.

Coverage details to know

• 1 year: Non-consumable parts (excluding the sealed system) for defects in materials/workmanship.
• 5 years: Sealed refrigerant system coverage for defects.
• 90 days: Reduced coverage if used for other than private family purposes (for the 1-year portion).
• 1 year: Reduced sealed-system coverage if used for other than private family purposes.
• Filters, light bulbs, and other expendable items are not covered as warranty parts.

Quick reference table

Item	Private family use coverage	Other-than-private use coverage
Non-consumable parts (not sealed system)	1 year	90 days
Sealed refrigerant system (includes compressor)	5 years	1 year

Why it matters

Compressor repairs often involve sealed-system work, which is more complex than typical refrigerator repairs. Knowing whether your issue falls under the sealed refrigerant system coverage helps you decide whether to schedule service, troubleshoot airflow and temperature settings, or focus on non-sealed components.

On the Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571059013, the most common problems we see are cooling issues, ice maker and water dispenser troubles, frost buildup, water leaks, and unusual noises. Many of these are caused by airflow restrictions (dirty coils), door sealing problems, or water supply and filtration issues; the troubleshooting steps in the 79571059013 owner's manual help pinpoint the cause.

Common symptoms and what they usually mean

• Not cooling well or warm temperatures: often dirty condenser coils, blocked vents, or a fan problem.
• Compressor seems to run too much: frequent door openings, warm room conditions, or airflow restrictions; some run time is normal.
• Ice maker not making ice: ice bin full or uneven, ice compartment door not closing tightly, or the ice maker switch set to Off.
• Bad-tasting or smelly ice: old ice, unwrapped food odors, or water quality; filtration and cleaning usually fix it.
• Water in/under the refrigerator: normal defrost drain pan evaporation issues in humidity, or a drain line problem.

Quick checks we recommend first (before replacing parts)

1. Clean the condenser coils and confirm airflow around the grille area.
2. Check door gaskets for gaps and make sure doors close firmly.
3. Verify ice compartment door closure; a loose door can stop ice production and cause freezing in the fresh food section.
4. Dump old ice and wash the bin if taste or odor is the complaint.
5. Confirm power and lighting basics (outlet, bulb seated correctly) if you suspect an electrical interruption.

Parts that commonly solve these complaints

If your symptoms point to filtration or water supply issues, these model-matched parts are common fixes:

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for 79571059013
Bad taste/odor in ice or water	Filtration	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
No water dispensing or slow fill	Water supply valve	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601
Leaks or water line issues	Tubing and connections	Refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602

Why it matters

Cooling, ice, and leak problems usually get worse over time. Cleaning coils, keeping doors sealed, and maintaining the water filter protects food temperatures, reduces compressor run time, and helps prevent ice maker and dispenser failures.

On Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571059013, water leaking from the bottom is typically caused by a clogged defrost drain (water overflows inside and runs down), a leaking water line to the dispenser or icemaker, or a dripping inlet valve or connection behind the unit. Use the checks below to pinpoint the source; see the 79571059013 owner's manual for care, cleaning, and water line guidance.

Quick checks (fastest way to narrow it down)

• Water under crisper drawers or ice on the refrigerator floor: defrost drain is blocked.
• Water only near the back of the refrigerator: supply line fitting or inlet valve is leaking.
• Water near the front, especially by the door hinge area: dispenser tubing is leaking.
• Leak started after moving the refrigerator: a compression fitting is loose.
• Intermittent puddles: inlet valve seepage or a slow drain restriction.

Fixes for the most common causes

Clogged defrost drain

• Unplug the refrigerator.
• Remove drawers and look for ice at the rear interior floor.
• Melt ice with warm water.
• Flush the drain opening with warm water until it drains to the pan.

Leaking tubing or fittings

• Shut off the household water supply.
• Dry connections, turn water back on, and watch for seepage.
• Tighten compression nuts slightly (do not overtighten).
• Replace cracked tubing with refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602.

Water inlet valve seepage

• Inspect the valve body and outlet ports for moisture.
• Replace the valve if it drips with lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601.

Symptom-to-cause guide

What you see	Most likely cause	Where to check
Water under crispers	Defrost drain clogged	Rear interior floor, drain opening
Water behind unit	Loose fitting or valve leak	Supply line, inlet valve
Water near door hinge	Dispenser tubing leak	Hinge area, tubing path

Why it matters

Stopping the leak prevents floor damage and helps avoid ice buildup and odors caused by standing water inside the cabinet.
