What is the advantage of a bottom mount fridge?
A bottom-mount refrigerator like the Kenmore 79571314312 puts the fresh-food section at eye and waist level, so you reach everyday items without bending as much. The freezer stays below, which can make loading and organizing frozen foods more straightforward.
Key benefits you’ll notice day to day
- Easier access to fresh foods (produce, dairy, leftovers) because they sit higher
- Less bending and squatting for the items you use most often
- Better visibility of refrigerator shelves, which helps reduce forgotten food
- Freezer drawer layout can make it simpler to sort frozen items by basket or bin
- Often more usable refrigerator space for tall items (pitchers, platters)
Bottom-mount vs top-freezer: quick comparison
| Feature | Bottom-mount refrigerator | Top-freezer refrigerator |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh-food access | Higher, easier to reach | Lower, more bending |
| Freezer access | Lower drawer, pull-out | Upper door, eye level |
| Organization style | Drawer and baskets | Shelves and door bins |
| Best for | Frequent fresh-food use | Frequent freezer use |
What to check on your Kenmore 79571314312
Your exact layout depends on the shelf, bin, and drawer configuration. We recommend using the 79571314312 owner's manual to confirm:
- Shelf and drawer adjustment options
- Recommended loading and airflow clearances
- Temperature settings for fresh food and freezer
Why it matters
Most households access the refrigerator section far more often than the freezer. A bottom-mount design reduces bending for the most-used compartment, which improves comfort and can make daily meal prep faster.

How to find model number on Kenmore?
On a Kenmore refrigerator like model 79571314312, the model number is printed on a rating label inside the fresh food section or freezer, or on a label behind the lower kickplate. Once you find it, match the full number exactly when ordering parts or using the 79571314312 owner’s manual.
Common places to check
- Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (often near the crisper area)
- Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall or back wall
- On the door frame (open the door and check the cabinet frame)
- Behind the lower toe grille or kickplate at the front
- Behind the crisper drawers (check the wall behind the drawer area)
What the label looks like
Most Kenmore rating labels include the model number and serial number together. Look for wording such as Model, Model No., or MOD.
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Model number (example: 79571314312) | Use it to find the correct diagrams and parts |
| Serial number | Keep it for service history and age reference |
| Electrical info (volts/amps) | Useful for troubleshooting and technician service |
Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part
- Copy the model number exactly, including all digits
- If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in
- Use the model number to confirm fit before buying items like an ice maker or valve
- For water and ice issues, confirm the exact configuration before replacing parts such as the lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU73753101
Why it matters
Kenmore model numbers identify the exact design version of your refrigerator. Even small model-number differences can change which compressor, ice maker assembly, door switch, or shelf parts fit correctly.

What are the common problems with Kenmore Elite refrigerators?
For Kenmore Elite bottom-mount refrigerators like model 79571314312, the most common problems are poor cooling, ice buildup, water leaks, and unusual noises. These issues usually trace back to airflow restrictions, defrost system faults, water supply problems, or a failing fan or compressor; the 79571314312 owner's manual helps confirm normal operation and settings.
Most common symptoms and what they usually mean
- Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coils, blocked vents, or a failed evaporator fan motor.
- Freezer frosting up or ice on the back wall: defrost sensor/heater issues or a door not sealing.
- Water under the refrigerator or in the crisper: clogged defrost drain or a leaking water line connection.
- Ice maker not making ice: low water pressure, a bad inlet valve, or an ice maker assembly problem.
- Buzzing, clicking, or repeated start attempts: compressor start components or compressor trouble.
Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts
- Set temperatures to typical targets: 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer.
- Make sure air vents inside are not blocked by food packages.
- Clean condenser coils and confirm the condenser fan area is clear.
- Listen for the evaporator fan (often heard when the door switch is pressed).
- If the unit has an ice maker, confirm the household shutoff valve is fully open.
Parts that commonly relate to these problems (for 79571314312)
| Symptom | Common part to inspect | Example model-matched part |
|---|---|---|
| Warm fridge/freezer, weak airflow | Evaporator fan motor | Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C |
| No ice or slow ice production | Water inlet valve or ice maker | Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU73753101, lg refrigerator ice maker assembly model AEQ72909603 AEQ72909603 |
| Clicking/buzzing, won’t stay running | Compressor/start protection | Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D, refrigerator compressor TCA38091801 |
Why it matters
Cooling, defrosting, and water delivery systems all depend on steady airflow and correct temperatures. Catching a weak fan, restricted coils, or a leaking valve early helps prevent food spoilage, heavy frost buildup, and compressor strain.
