Kenmore 59669952011 refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore model 59669952011, the most reliable way to get cubic feet is to look up the capacity by the full model number in the product specifications, or calculate an estimate by measuring the usable interior space. If you are troubleshooting cooling or airflow issues while checking size, our Kenmore 106 model refrigerator error codes guide can help you interpret display codes.

• Model number lookup: Use the complete model number 59669952011 when searching specifications so you get the exact match.
• Measure and calculate (good estimate): Measure the usable interior (not the outside cabinet).
• Compare by style: Bottom-mount refrigerators commonly fall into a mid-to-large capacity range; exact capacity varies by configuration.

1. Empty enough space to measure accurately.
2. Measure width x height x depth of the usable interior in inches.
3. Multiply the three numbers to get cubic inches.
4. Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet.

• Measure the main fresh food compartment and freezer drawer separately, then add them.
• Use usable space; shelves, bins, and air channels reduce real storage volume.
• Measure to the inside liner, not to door bins or gasket folds.

Capacity helps you compare refrigerators, choose replacement shelves and bins, and set realistic expectations for airflow and loading. Overpacking can block vents and contribute to warm spots, especially in bottom-mount designs.

A bad compressor in your Kenmore 59669952011 bottom-mount refrigerator usually shows up as poor cooling with the unit trying to run (humming, repeated clicking, or running nonstop) but temperatures never recover. Before condemning the compressor, we rule out common “no-cool” causes like a failed start device, capacitor, or airflow problem.

• Refrigerator and freezer both warm, even though the unit seems to be running
• Repeated clicking every few minutes (start attempt then shutoff)
• Compressor is very hot to the touch after running attempts (use caution)
• No compressor sound at all, but interior lights and controls work
• Frost pattern is abnormal (little to no frost on the evaporator when it should be cooling)

Many “bad compressor” complaints are actually a start or airflow issue. For model 59669952011, these parts are common suspects:

• Refrigerator compressor start device WPW10194431 (start relay and overload)
• Refrigerator run capacitor WPW10662129 (helps the compressor start and run)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WPW10128551 (moves cold air through the fresh food section)
• Refrigerator condenser fan motor W11613295 (cools the condenser and helps heat removal)

• Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then restore power and listen for a steady compressor hum.
• If you hear repeated clicking, inspect the start device and capacitor for burning, rattling, or damage.
• Make sure condenser coils and the condenser fan area are clear of dust and obstructions.
• Confirm the evaporator fan runs when the compressor is running (door switch may need to be held closed).

Replacing a compressor is a major sealed-system repair. Checking the start device, run capacitor, fans, and airflow first prevents unnecessary cost and gets cooling restored faster when the failure is external to the compressor.

To tell what model Kenmore refrigerator you have, we look for the model number on the appliance ID label. On Kenmore model 59669952011 bottom-mount refrigerators, that label is typically inside the fresh food compartment (side wall or ceiling), sometimes behind a crisper drawer, or on the frame behind the lower kick plate.

Check these common spots in this order:

• Inside the refrigerator section on the left or right side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light housing
• Behind or under a crisper drawer (remove the drawer and look on the liner)
• On the cabinet frame behind the toe grille or kick plate (front bottom)
• On the back exterior panel near the power cord entry

For this parts page, the model number format is an 11-digit Kenmore number, such as 59669952011. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct parts list, diagrams, and compatible replacements.

A single digit difference can change the correct fit for key items like the electronic control, door gaskets, or fan motors. Getting the model number right prevents ordering the wrong part and avoids repeat repairs.

Once you find the label, we recommend you:

• Write down the full model number exactly as shown
• Record the serial number too (helpful for production changes)
• Take a clear photo of the label for reference
• Match the model number to the parts list before choosing a part

Here are examples of model-matched parts shown for Kenmore 59669952011:

On a Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator like model 59669952011, the “bottom part” most people mean is the compressor compartment (often called the machine compartment). It houses key cooling components such as the compressor, condenser fan, and start components.

Depending on what you’re seeing or hearing, the bottom area can mean different components:

• Compressor compartment: where the compressor and many electrical parts sit
• Condenser fan area: moves air across the condenser coils to remove heat
• Drain pan area: catches defrost water so it can evaporate
• Freezer drawer section: on bottom-mount designs, the freezer is physically at the bottom

Use this to match the term to what you’re describing.

If you’re troubleshooting noise, no-cool, or airflow issues near the bottom/rear, these parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator condenser fan motor W11613295 (bottom/rear airflow)
• Refrigerator compressor start device WPW10194431 (starting the compressor)
• Refrigerator run capacitor WPW10662129 (helps the compressor start and run)

Using the right name helps you troubleshoot faster and order the correct replacement part. For example, a “bottom buzzing” complaint often points to the compressor start components, while a “bottom drawer problem” points to rails or gears.
