How to measure your refrigerator (so you get the right fit)

Measure in inches with the doors closed.

• Width: left cabinet side to right cabinet side (do not include the door swing space)
• Height: floor to the top of the hinge cover (not just the cabinet)
• Depth (cabinet): back to the front edge of the doors (no handles)
• Depth (overall): back to the front of the handles
• Clearance: space needed behind and above for airflow and water line routing

Typical size ranges for this Kenmore 795 bottom-freezer platform

These are the most common planning numbers customers use for cabinetry and delivery.

Measurement	Typical range	What changes it most
Width	~33 in	Cabinet design (usually stable)
Depth	~31 to 34 in	Handles, door style, spacing from wall
Height	~67 to 70 in	Leveling legs, hinge cover, floor slope

Why it matters

Getting the size right prevents delivery problems, door clearance issues, and poor cooling from restricted airflow. It also helps when planning a water line connection for an ice maker or dispenser.

Water leaking from the bottom of your Kenmore 79575082401 bottom-mount refrigerator is usually caused by a defrost drain that’s clogged or frozen, or by water overflowing or escaping from the drain pan underneath. Clearing the drain path and checking the pan typically stops the leak.

Most common causes (and what to check first)

• Clogged or frozen defrost drain: Meltwater can’t flow to the drain pan, so it backs up and leaks out.
• Drain pan shifted, cracked, or overflowing: Water reaches the pan but doesn’t stay contained.
• Door not sealing well: Warm air creates excess frost, which increases defrost water and can overwhelm the drain.
• Water line or tubing leak (if connected to water/ice): A slow drip can run down and pool at the base.

Quick checks you can do safely

1. Unplug the refrigerator to avoid electrical shock.
2. Look for ice or water at the bottom inside the fresh food section and near the back wall.
3. Remove the base grille to inspect underneath (the manual shows how to remove and reinstall it): 79575082401 owner's manual.
4. Inspect the drain pan for cracks and make sure it’s seated flat.
5. If you have a water/ice hookup, check for wet tubing and fittings; replace damaged tubing such as refrigerator water tubing 5210JA3005W if it’s leaking.

What to do based on what you find

What you see	Most likely cause	Best next step
Water inside fridge bottom, then onto floor	Defrost drain clogged/frozen	Thaw ice with warm water; clear drain with a soft tube cleaner
Water only under fridge	Drain pan issue	Reseat pan; replace if cracked
Frost buildup and sweating around doors	Door seal leak	Clean gasket, check alignment; replace gasket if torn
Water near back lower area with water line connected	Tubing/fitting leak	Tighten fittings; replace tubing

Why it matters

A blocked defrost drain or poor door seal can lead to recurring puddles, ice buildup, and temperature swings. Fixing the root cause protects the evaporator airflow and helps the refrigerator maintain stable cooling.

For Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79575082401, the sure way to get the correct water filter is to match the replacement part number listed for your exact model in the 79575082401 owner's manual. You can also confirm the filter style by checking the cartridge label and the filter housing location.

Fast ways to identify the correct filter

• Find the model tag and use 79575082401 when searching for a compatible filter.
• Remove the existing cartridge and write down the part number printed on the label.
• Check where the filter installs (inside the fresh food compartment or at the base grille) and match that style.
• If your refrigerator is not currently equipped with a filter, follow the manual guidance for your water hookup and filtration options.
• After installing a new filter, flush water through the dispenser to clear air and carbon fines.

What to look for on the refrigerator

Where you check	What you’re looking for	What it tells you
Filter cartridge label	Printed part number	The exact replacement to order
Filter head or housing	Twist-in, push-in, or latch style	The cartridge family that fits
Water and ice performance	Slow fill, odd taste, odor	A filter may be due or water quality needs attention

Why the model number matters

Kenmore uses multiple filter designs across different refrigerator platforms. Matching by 79575082401 prevents ordering a cartridge that will not lock into the housing, seal correctly, or allow proper water flow.

Why it matters

Using the correct refrigerator water filter helps reduce taste and odor, supports steady water flow to the dispenser and ice maker, and helps keep sediment from reaching internal water components.
