What size is Kenmore refrigerator model 79571056010?
Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571056010 is a bottom-freezer refrigerator in the Kenmore Elite 795.7105* series. For exact exterior dimensions (width, depth, height) and clearance requirements for your specific unit, we use the measurements listed in the 79571056010 owner's manual.
Most customers mean one (or more) of these:
- Overall capacity (cubic feet)
- Exterior dimensions (W x D x H)
- Installation clearances (space around the cabinet for airflow and door swing)
- Water line and electrical requirements (so it fits your hookup location)
The documentation for the 795.7105* series confirms this is a bottom-freezer refrigerator and includes installation guidance (leveling, door alignment, and water line connection). Use the manual to match your exact configuration and finish code.
| Spec type | Where to find it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior dimensions (W x D x H) | Manual installation section | Ensures it fits the opening and doors can open fully |
| Capacity (cu. ft.) | Manual features/specs section | Helps compare storage space across models |
| Clearances | Manual installation section | Prevents poor cooling and rubbing doors |
- Measure width at the cabinet and also at the widest point (often the doors/handles).
- Measure depth two ways: cabinet-only and to the front of the handles.
- Measure height to the top hinge cover (not just the cabinet).
- Plan extra space for door swing and drawer pull-out.
- Confirm you have a 120V, 15A minimum outlet available.
A refrigerator that is even 1/4 inch too wide or too deep can prevent proper installation, cause door alignment issues, or reduce airflow. Using the model-specific measurements from the manual helps you avoid returns and ensures proper cooling performance.

Why is my refrigerator not getting cold at the bottom?
If your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571056010 is warm at the bottom, the most common causes are restricted airflow (blocked vents, overpacked shelves), dirty condenser coils, or a fan issue that prevents cold air from circulating. Start with temperature settings and airflow checks in the 79571056010 owner's manual.
- Confirm the refrigerator is set near 37°F and the freezer near 0°F; then wait 24 hours after any change.
- Make sure food packages are not blocking air vents; blocked vents reduce cold air flow into the fresh-food section.
- Avoid frequent door opening and let hot leftovers cool before loading.
- Clean dust and pet hair from the condenser area (restricted heat release reduces cooling).
- Verify doors close fully and seal evenly; warm air leaks often show up as warmer lower shelves.
On model 79571056010, the freezer control manages how much cold air is sent from the freezer into the refrigerator section. We recommend adjusting the refrigerator control first, waiting 24 hours, then adjusting the freezer control if needed (per the manual).
| What you notice | Most likely cause | Best first step |
|---|---|---|
| Top is cool, bottom is warm | Airflow blocked or weak circulation | Clear vents, reduce overpacking |
| Whole refrigerator is warm | Dirty condenser, fan/compressor issue | Clean condenser area, listen for fans |
| Freezer is cold but fridge is warm | Air not moving to fridge | Check for blocked vents, fan noise |
If basic cleaning and vent checks do not help, these model-matched parts are often involved:
- Lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C (moves cold air through the compartments)
- Refrigerator condenser fan motor assembly EAU61723501 (helps remove heat at the condenser)
- Refrigerator compressor TCA36411702 (drives the sealed cooling system)
A warm bottom section usually means the refrigerator is not circulating cold air correctly. Fixing airflow and heat removal early helps protect food safety, reduces run time, and prevents frost or moisture problems from getting worse.

What are the common problems with Kenmore Elite refrigerators?
Common issues on the Kenmore Elite 79571056010 bottom-mount refrigerator include warm temperatures (often airflow or coil-related), ice maker or dispenser troubles, water leaks from drain or water-line problems, and unusual noises or vibration. Our 79571056010 owner's manual troubleshooting section helps you match symptoms to the right checks.
- Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coils, blocked vents, or an evaporator fan problem
- Compressor seems to run too much: frequent door openings, warm room temperature, dirty coils
- Frost buildup or moisture: door not sealing, door left ajar, or airflow restrictions
- Water under the refrigerator: clogged/iced drain path or drain tube issues
- Ice tastes bad or smells: old ice, unwrapped food odors, or water quality and filter issues
- Lights not working: loose bulb, burned-out bulb, or power interruption
- Confirm doors close fully and gaskets seal all the way around.
- Clean the condenser coils (a common cause of warm temps and long run times).
- Make sure vents inside the fresh food section are not blocked by packages.
- If the unit is vibrating or rattling, level the refrigerator so it rests solidly.
- For ice issues, keep the ice compartment door tightly closed and level the ice in the bin.
| Symptom | Part that often fixes it | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Ice tastes/odor, slow water flow | Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801 | Improves taste/odor and helps protect the water system |
| No ice or weak dispensing | Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601 | Controls water flow to the ice maker and dispenser |
| Water leaking inside/freezer area | Refrigerator drain tube 5251JA3003D | Routes defrost water to the drain system |
Cooling, ice, and leak complaints often share the same root causes: restricted airflow, dirty condenser coils, or water system restrictions. Starting with cleaning and sealing checks prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps restore normal temperatures faster.

Why is my Kenmore Elite refrigerator leaking water out of the bottom?
Water leaking from the bottom of your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79571056010 is usually caused by a defrost drain problem (water cannot reach the drain pan), a leak in the dispenser or ice maker water line, or a door seal issue that creates excess frost and meltwater. Use the 79571056010 owner's manual to locate the drain and water-line connection points.
- Clogged defrost drain: Water from defrost cannot flow to the drain pan and spills into the cabinet, then out the bottom.
- Cracked or loose water tubing: Look for drips at the back of the unit and under the dispenser area; inspect refrigerator water tubing MJU62070602.
- Leaking water inlet valve or fittings: A slow drip can run down and pool underneath; check lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU72992601.
- Door gasket not sealing: Warm air causes heavy frost, then water during defrost; inspect the right fresh food gasket refrigerator door gasket, right ADX73550624.
- Drain pan shifted or cracked: Defrost water may miss the pan or spill.
- Unplug the refrigerator and pull it out so you can see the floor and rear access area.
- Check for clear water vs. sticky water:
- Clear water often points to defrost drain or water line.
- Sticky water can indicate a spill or food residue, but still check the drain.
- Look for active dripping with the ice maker running; then turn the ice maker off and shut off the water supply to see if the leak stops (the manual’s water-line section emphasizes checking for leaks at connections).
- Inspect door gaskets for gaps, tears, or areas not contacting the cabinet evenly.
| What you notice | Most likely source | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| Puddle after a defrost cycle | Defrost drain clog | Under evaporator area, drain trough, drain tube |
| Puddle only when using dispenser/ice | Water tubing or valve leak | Behind unit, under hinge area, valve connections |
| Frost buildup plus water | Door gasket leak | Door perimeter, corners, mullion area |
A small leak can turn into floor damage and can also lead to ice buildup that restricts airflow, making the refrigerator run longer and cool poorly.
