To replace the water filter in your Kenmore refrigerator model 59672002013, open the filter cover in the upper right of the fresh food compartment, twist the old filter out, twist the new filter in, then flush water and reset the filter indicator. Follow the steps in the 59672002013 owner's manual.

Before you start (important)

Air trapped in the water system can cause water and the filter to eject. We recommend doing these steps first:

• Dispense water for at least 2 minutes before removing the filter
• Have a towel ready for drips from the filter housing
• Use a cup or small pan to catch water from the old filter
• If the filter door is taped shut, remove tape carefully so you do not crack the cover
• If the cover is broken or will not latch, plan to secure it after replacement so it stays closed

Step-by-step: replace the filter

1. Locate the filter in the upper right-hand corner of the refrigerator compartment.
2. Dispense water for 2 minutes to relieve pressure.
3. Open the filter cover.
4. Turn the old filter counterclockwise until it releases.
5. Drain the old filter into the sink; wipe up any water in the cover area.
6. Remove the sealing label from the new filter.
7. Insert the new filter and rotate it clockwise until it stops; snap the cover closed.
8. Flush the water system and check for leaks.

Reset the “Replace” light (models with a filter indicator)

After installing the new filter:

• Press and hold Filter Reset for 3 seconds
• Release when the Order or Replace light turns off

What you see on the display	What it means	What to do
Replace light is lit	Filter is due	Replace filter now
Water flow slows before 6 months	Filter is restricted	Replace sooner than 6 months
Order/Replace light stays on after replacement	Indicator not reset	Hold Filter Reset 3 seconds

Why it matters

A fresh water filter helps maintain normal water flow to the dispenser and ice maker, improves taste and odor, and reduces the chance of dispenser sputtering caused by trapped air after a filter change.

A Kenmore refrigerator typically lasts 12 to 15 years. For your Kenmore model 59672002013, keeping the condenser area clean, maintaining good airflow around the cabinet, and addressing cooling or ice maker issues early helps you reach (and often exceed) that normal service life; see the 59672002013 owner's manual for care and maintenance guidance.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most bottom-mount refrigerators land in the same general range, but real-world lifespan depends on usage and conditions.

• Heat and ventilation: tight cabinets and dusty condenser areas shorten compressor life
• Door seal condition: air leaks force longer run times
• Defrost performance: frost buildup reduces airflow and cooling efficiency
• Ice maker and water system health: leaks and restrictions can create secondary damage
• Cleaning habits: spills, odors, and blocked vents increase strain on the cooling system

Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)

Use these as your routine “life-extender” steps.

• Vacuum dust from the condenser area (as accessible) every 6 to 12 months
• Keep interior air vents clear of food packages
• Confirm doors close fully and the gasket seals all the way around
• Replace water filters on schedule if your unit uses filtration
• If you see water under the refrigerator, clear the drain path before it refreezes

Common parts that relate to longevity (examples)

These are parts we often see involved when cooling performance drops.

Symptom	Often involved	Example part for this model
Warm fridge or freezer, poor airflow	Evaporator fan system	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor W11024089
Heavy frost on back wall, warming	Defrost system	Refrigerator defrost heater WP12729128
No ice or slow ice production	Ice maker	Refrigerator ice maker assembly W10884390

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is running longer to hold temperature uses more energy and wears the sealed system faster. Simple airflow, sealing, and defrost-related maintenance reduces run time and helps protect major components like the compressor.

Kenmore refrigerator model 59672002013 is a bottom-mount style refrigerator; the exact cabinet dimensions (width, height, depth) are listed in the 59672002013 owner's manual. For planning space, most Kenmore bottom-mount units of this design are approximately 33 inches wide, with height and depth varying by door and handle configuration.

How to measure your refrigerator (most accurate)

Use a tape measure and record all three dimensions; measure twice so you can compare to your cutout.

• Width: left cabinet side to right cabinet side (do not include the door swing space)
• Height: floor to top of hinge cover (or highest point)
• Depth: back of cabinet to front (measure without handles and with handles if present)
• Door swing clearance: include space needed to fully open doors and drawers
• Leveling legs/rollers: confirm the unit is level before final measurements

Installation clearance guidelines (from the manual)

The manual calls out ventilation and door-swing clearances that affect the real space you need.

Location	Typical clearance to allow	Why you need it
Each side and top	1/2 inch	Airflow and efficient cooling
Behind refrigerator	1 inch	Airflow and water line room
Next to a fixed wall	3 3/4 inches minimum	Door can swing open fully

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents poor airflow, warm temperatures, and door or drawer interference. It also helps avoid kinks in the water line if your 59672002013 has an ice maker or water dispenser.

If you are troubleshooting fit issues caused by doors not sealing after moving the refrigerator, a worn gasket can also change how the doors sit; see the refrigerator door gasket W11368721 if your model uses the black gasket option.

If your Kenmore refrigerator model 59672002013 is not cooling or freezing, the fastest checks are making sure Cooling is set to ON, the temperature controls are set to the recommended setting, and airflow is not blocked at the vents. Then move to condenser coil cleaning and fan/compressor checks.

Quick checks first (no tools)

• Confirm the unit has power (outlet works, breaker not tripped).
• Verify Cooling On/Off is not set to OFF (either compartment will stop cooling when OFF is selected).
• After any control change, wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
• Make sure air vents inside the refrigerator and freezer are not blocked by food packages.
• If this is a new install or it was unplugged, allow 24 hours to cool completely.

For control locations, recommended settings, and the Cooling On/Off steps, use the 59672002013 owner's manual.

Most common causes when it still will not cool

Airflow problem (freezer fan area)

If the evaporator fan is not moving air, the refrigerator section often warms up first.

• Listen for a fan sound from the freezer when the doors are closed
• Check for heavy frost on the rear freezer panel (can indicate a defrost issue)
• Inspect the fan blade for ice buildup or damage

Model-matched parts that commonly apply:

• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142
• Refrigerator evaporator motor W11024089
• Refrigerator defrost heater WP12729128

Sealed system or start components

If the compressor is not starting or running correctly, neither section will cool.

• Listen for repeated clicking (start attempt) followed by silence
• Check that the condenser area is clean and has good airflow

Model-matched parts that may be involved:

• Refrigerator run capacitor WPW10662129
• Refrigerator compressor W10233960

Symptom guide

What you notice	What it usually points to	What to do next
Fridge warm, freezer still somewhat cold	Airflow issue	Check vents, evaporator fan blade/motor
Both warm, compressor not running	Cooling OFF, power, or start issue	Verify Cooling ON, then check start components
Heavy frost on freezer back wall	Defrost problem	Check defrost heater and airflow

Why it matters

Running warm can spoil food quickly, and blocked vents or incorrect control settings can mimic a major failure. Confirming Cooling ON and proper airflow first prevents unnecessary part replacement.
