Kenmore 79573055411 refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore model 79573055411, the correct water filter is the one specified for your exact model; your documentation and the filter label confirm the match. This model uses replacement filter ADQ36006102, and you should also keep a bypass plug for times a filter is unavailable.

Use these quick checks to make sure you are buying the correct cartridge:

• Match your refrigerator’s model number to the filter listing (use 79573055411).
• Check the filter currently installed and compare the printed part number.
• Verify the replacement part number in the 79573055411 owner's manual.
• If you cannot get a replacement right away, use the bypass plug (do not run without a filter or bypass plug installed).
• After installing a new filter, flush water through it before drinking.

For this model, these are the most relevant filter-related items:

We recommend following the standard post-install steps used for this model:

• Seat the filter fully so it locks in place.
• Flush about 2.5 gallons of water (roughly 5 minutes) to clear air and carbon fines.
• Check for leaks around the filter housing.
• Reset the filter indicator by pressing and holding Ultra Ice (Filter Reset) for at least 3 seconds.

Using the correct filter for your Kenmore refrigerator protects water taste and flow rate, helps prevent dispenser and ice maker issues, and ensures the filter housing seals properly to avoid leaks.

A bottom-mount refrigerator like Kenmore model 79573055411 keeps the fresh-food compartment at eye level, so you reach everyday items with less bending. The freezer stays in the lower drawer, which helps organize frozen foods while keeping frequently used items easier to see and grab.

• Less bending for fresh foods: produce, drinks, and leftovers are easier to access.
• Better visibility: shelves and bins are closer to eye level, so items are less likely to get forgotten.
• Freezer organization: the pull-out freezer drawer helps separate baskets and larger frozen items.
• Energy habits: quicker access to fresh foods can reduce door-open time, which helps temperature stability.
• Convenient for families: kids can often reach refrigerator shelves more easily than top-freezer layouts.

• Set and maintain proper temperatures (typical targets are 37°F for the refrigerator and 0°F for the freezer).
• Keep frequently used items on the middle shelves to minimize door-open time.
• Avoid overpacking the freezer drawer so air can circulate.
• Level the refrigerator so doors close fully and seals stay tight.

Most households use the refrigerator section far more often than the freezer. A bottom-mount layout puts the most-used space where it is easiest to reach, which improves comfort, visibility, and everyday convenience.

On the Kenmore 79573055411 bottom-mount refrigerator, the “bottom part” is most commonly the base cover (toe grille) on the front, and the machine compartment underneath/behind it where key cooling parts live (like the compressor and condenser area). For model-specific component locations, use the 79573055411 owner's manual.

People use different terms depending on what they mean:

• Base cover / toe grille: the front panel at floor level
• Machine compartment: the enclosed area that houses cooling components
• Drain pan area: where defrost water can collect and evaporate
• Condenser area: where heat is released from the sealed system
• Freezer drawer section: on a bottom-mount, the lower drawer is the freezer storage area

The lower area often includes parts that affect cooling performance, noise, and heat release:

• Compressor (pumps refrigerant through the sealed system)
• Condenser coil (releases heat)
• Condenser fan (moves air across the condenser on many designs)
• Drain pan (catches defrost water)
• Wiring and control components (varies by model)

Using the right term helps you get the right part and the right instructions. For example, cooling issues often point to the machine compartment (airflow, condenser coil), while leaks can relate to the drain pan or drain path.

If you’re troubleshooting cooling, water, or ice issues on this model, these parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801
• Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73964501
• Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D

Water under your Kenmore 79573055411 bottom-mount refrigerator is usually caused by a defrost drain that’s clogged or frozen, or by a water supply leak feeding the ice maker and dispenser. We focus first on the drain path and the water line connection points shown in the 79573055411 owner's manual.

• Clogged defrost drain: Meltwater can back up and spill into the cabinet, then run to the floor.
• Cracked or overflowing drain pan: Water from normal defrosting can miss the pan or overflow.
• Loose water line fitting: A slow drip can track underneath and look like a cabinet leak.
• Leaking inlet valve: A valve that seeps can drip even when not dispensing water.
• Ice maker or fill tube issue: Overfilling or a misdirected fill can create hidden leaks.

1. Unplug the refrigerator and pull it out enough to inspect underneath.
2. Check the drain pan for cracks, shifting, or heavy overflow marks.
3. Look for a frozen/clogged drain: remove the freezer drawer if needed and inspect for ice buildup and water pooling.
4. Inspect the water line from the household shutoff to the refrigerator inlet; tighten fittings gently.
5. Turn the ice maker off and shut off the water supply for a few hours; if leaking stops, the issue is in the water system.

If you confirm the leak is from the water system, these model-matched parts are common fixes:

A small leak can quickly turn into floor damage and can also lead to ice buildup that restricts airflow, causing warm temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer. Fixing the drain path or water supply leak early prevents repeat puddles.
