What model is my Kenmore 59676583600 Elite refrigerator?
Your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model is 59676583600. To confirm it on the appliance, check the model and serial number sticker inside the fresh food (refrigerator) section, typically on the left interior wall; it lists the full model number and serial number. See the owner's manual for the exact label location and recording details.
Look in these common spots on a Kenmore Elite bottom-mount refrigerator:
- Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left wall (most common)
- On an inside side wall near the crisper drawers
- Along the door frame area when the fresh food door is open
- Behind the base grille or kickplate (less common)
When you locate the sticker, record both identifiers so you get the right parts and diagrams.
- Model number (example: 59676583600)
- Serial number (unique to your unit)
- Purchase date (helpful for your records)
The model number narrows parts to the correct design version; the serial number can help confirm production variations. This is especially important for fit-critical items like a refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q or electrical parts.
| Item | What it tells you | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | The exact refrigerator design | Matching parts diagrams and compatible parts |
| Serial number | Your unit’s unique identifier | Confirming production run details |
- Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth and dry it
- Use a flashlight and take a close-up photo to zoom in
- Copy the model exactly, including all digits (no spaces)

What size is Kenmore refrigerator model 59676583600?
Kenmore refrigerator model 59676583600 is a bottom-mount (bottom freezer) refrigerator. For this model family, the most common exterior size is about 33 inches wide, with overall height and depth varying by door style and handle configuration; confirm the exact dimensions in the owner's manual.
When customers ask for size, they typically mean one of these:
- Width (side-to-side at the cabinet)
- Height (floor to top of hinge cover)
- Depth (front-to-back, with and without handles)
- Capacity (cubic feet, interior storage)
- Cutout/opening (space needed for installation and door swing)
Use a tape measure and record each number to the nearest 1/8 inch.
- Measure cabinet width at the widest point (not the doors if they overhang)
- Measure height from floor to the top hinge area
- Measure depth in two ways: without handles and with handles
- Add clearance for door swing and airflow behind and above the unit
These ranges help when planning a move, replacement, or cabinet opening.
| Measurement | Typical range (approx.) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 32 7/8 to 33 1/4 in. | Often marketed as “33-inch” |
| Height | 68 to 70 in. | Can vary with hinges and leveling legs |
| Depth (no handles) | 33 to 35 in. | Cabinet depth |
| Depth (with handles) | 35 to 37 in. | Handles add projection |
Correct dimensions prevent common fit problems like doors that cannot open fully, drawers that hit nearby walls, and poor airflow that can cause warm temperatures or longer compressor run times.

What is the average lifespan of a Kenmore 59676583600 Elite refrigerator?
A Kenmore Elite bottom-mount refrigerator like model 59676583600 typically lasts 10 to 15 years. Regular maintenance (especially cleaning condenser coils and keeping door seals tight) helps you reach the high end of that range and reduces the chance of expensive cooling-system repairs.
Most refrigerators in this class land in the 10 to 15 year window; how close you get depends on day-to-day conditions.
- Condenser cleanliness: dusty coils make the compressor run hotter and longer
- Door gasket condition: air leaks cause longer run times and frost issues
- Room temperature and ventilation: hot, tight spaces shorten component life
- Usage habits: frequent door openings and overloading reduce efficiency
- Water quality/pressure (ice maker models): low pressure can affect ice production (the manual notes reverse osmosis systems can reduce pressure)
For model-specific care and operating guidance, follow the maintenance and use sections in the owner's manual.
Use these as your baseline routine for a Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator:
- Vacuum or brush condenser coils regularly (often every 6 to 12 months)
- Clean door gaskets about every 3 months; keep them pliable and sealing
- Avoid overcrowding shelves so air can circulate (an energy tip in the manual)
- Let hot foods cool before loading; large warm loads slow cooling and increase run time
- Keep the freezer about two-thirds full for efficient operation (manual energy tip)
A single failure does not automatically mean replacement; cost and age matter.
| If your fridge is... | A repair usually makes sense when... | Replacement is often smarter when... |
|---|---|---|
| Under ~8 years old | Cooling is mostly normal; issue is a switch, gasket, fan, or ice maker | Sealed-system repair is needed and cost is high |
| 10 to 15 years old | Problem is minor and parts are readily available | Multiple major issues stack up (cooling + leaks + noise) |
| Over 15 years old | Repair is low-cost and restores reliable temps | Compressor or evaporator work is required |
Knowing the expected lifespan helps you plan: you can invest in preventive maintenance now, and you can judge whether a major repair (like a compressor-related issue) is worth it based on the refrigerator’s age.

Is Kenmore 59676583600 Elite high end?
Yes. Kenmore Elite models like the Kenmore 59676583600 are positioned as the brand’s premium line, typically offering upgraded design, storage features, and performance compared with standard Kenmore refrigerators. For model-specific features and operating details, use the owner's manual.
Kenmore Elite is generally considered “high end” within the Kenmore lineup because it commonly includes a more feature-rich configuration and higher-cost components than entry-level models.
Common premium traits you’ll often see in Elite bottom-mount refrigerators include:
- More flexible fresh-food storage (adjustable bins, deli/pantry zones)
- Better temperature management features (more sensors and control options)
- Ice maker and water system features (depending on configuration)
- Heavier-duty drawer slides, rails, and door hardware
- More complex sealed-system and defrost components (typical of higher-feature units)
| Line | Typical positioning | What you usually get |
|---|---|---|
| Kenmore (standard) | Mid-range | Core cooling, basic storage, fewer convenience features |
| Kenmore Elite | Premium | More storage flexibility, more controls/features, higher parts complexity |
A “higher-end” refrigerator usually has more specialized parts and assemblies. When something wears out, using the correct model-matched part helps restore fit and performance.

What are the common problems with Kenmore 59676583600 Elite refrigerators?
Common problems we see with the Kenmore Elite 59676583600 bottom-mount refrigerator include not running at all (power, control settings, or a failed start device/compressor), warm temperatures from dirty condenser coils or doors not sealing, and ice or water issues caused by low water pressure (especially with reverse osmosis systems). See the owner's manual for model-specific troubleshooting steps.
- Refrigerator will not run: control not set correctly, blown fuse/tripped breaker, power outage, or a failed compressor start circuit
- Food too warm: dirty condenser coils, door not closing, blocked rear air grille under the crispers, frequent door openings, or controls needing adjustment
- Food too cold: controls set too cold, airflow issues, or door sealing problems
- Runs too often: dirty condenser coils, warm room conditions, frequent door openings, recently added food, or door not sealing
- Water droplets inside: high humidity, frequent door openings, or dirty/worn door gaskets
- Ice maker issues (small/hollow cubes, slow fill): low household water pressure; reverse osmosis systems commonly reduce pressure
- Confirm the unit is plugged in and the temperature controls are set correctly.
- Check the home breaker or fuse, then restore power if needed.
- Clean the condenser coils; dirty coils are a top cause of warm temps and long run times.
- Make sure doors close fully; remove obstructions like bins, drawers, or oversized containers.
- Check that the rear air grille (under the crisper drawers) is not blocked by food packages.
