Kenmore 79571312312 refrigerator Parts

Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on a rating label inside the cabinet. For Kenmore model 79571312312, you will typically find that label on an inside wall of the fresh food section or freezer, or behind the lower crisper area.

Where to look first (most common spots)

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (often near the top)
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall or back wall
• On the wall behind the lower crisper drawers (remove drawers to see it)
• Along the door frame area (open the door and check the cabinet edge)
• Behind the kick plate or lower front grille (if your design uses one)

What the label looks like and what to write down

The rating label usually includes the model number and serial number. We recommend copying both exactly as shown.

What to record	Example format	Why we need it

For Kenmore model 79571312312, the most reliable way to get the exact cubic-foot capacity is to read the refrigerator’s rating plate (usually inside the fresh food section). If you want a spec-based confirmation, the capacity is also listed in the 79571312312 owner's manual.

Fast ways to find the exact capacity

• Check the rating plate inside the refrigerator compartment (often on a side wall near the crisper area).
• Look for a “Capacity” or “Total volume” line; it may list total and compartment volumes.
• Use the model number 79571312312 to match specs in the 79571312312 owner's manual.
• If the label is hard to read, take a photo and zoom in; the capacity line is usually grouped with electrical ratings.

Where to look (typical label locations)

Location	What you’ll see	Why it helps
Fresh food compartment side wall	Model/serial and capacity	Most common place for total capacity
Ceiling area near lights	Model/serial info	Sometimes easier to spot
Freezer compartment side wall	Model/serial and volume	May list freezer volume separately

Why we recommend the rating plate first

The rating plate is tied to your exact build and configuration (doors, dispenser, ice maker setup). That makes it the best source when you need the correct cubic feet for comparing models, planning kitchen space, or ordering bins and drawers.

Related tip if you are troubleshooting cooling or airflow

If you are checking capacity because the refrigerator is not holding temperature, confirm the set temps and airflow guidance in the 79571312312 owner's manual. For cooling issues, a common related part is the lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C, which helps circulate cold air through the compartments.

For Kenmore refrigerator model 79571312312, the right water filter is the one specified for your exact model. We recommend confirming the filter part number in the 79571312312 owner's manual and matching that number when you shop so you get the correct fit and water flow.

Fast ways to identify the correct filter

• Check the filter housing label inside the refrigerator compartment (many list a part number).
• Look up the filter part number in the 79571312312 owner's manual.
• Remove the old filter and compare its printed part number to the replacement.
• If your dispenser flow is slow, replace the filter first before diagnosing valves or the ice maker.
• If you recently moved or changed plumbing, flush the new filter per the manual instructions.

What to match (and what not to)

When you shop, match the filter part number, not just the refrigerator style (French door, bottom freezer, etc.). “Kenmore filter” is not specific enough because different Kenmore models use different cartridges.

What you have	What to match	Why it matters
Model number 79571312312	Filter part number listed for that model	Prevents leaks and poor fit
Old filter in hand	Part number printed on the filter	Avoids ordering the wrong cartridge
Water/ice symptoms	Filter change interval and flow notes	Helps rule out non-filter issues

If water or ice is still weak after a new filter

A correct new filter should restore normal flow quickly. If it does not, common next checks include:

• Kinked or pinched water supply line
• Low house water pressure
• A restricted or failing lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU73753101
• Ice maker fill issues (if equipped), sometimes tied to the lg refrigerator ice maker assembly model AEQ72909603

Why it matters

Using the correct filter for 79571312312 protects the water system from leaks, keeps dispenser flow steady, and helps your ice maker fill properly. A mismatched filter can cause bypassing, slow flow, or sealing problems.

Most Kenmore refrigerators, including model 79571312312, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal household use. Regular maintenance (especially cleaning and airflow) is what most often determines whether you land closer to 10 years or push beyond 15.

Typical lifespan and what to expect

Here’s a practical way to think about service life for a Kenmore refrigerator:

Lifespan range	What it usually means	What you’ll notice
0 to 5 years	Early-life period	Minor adjustments, occasional small part issues
6 to 10 years	Mid-life	Higher chance of fan, sensor, or ice maker wear
10 to 15 years	Common replacement window	Cooling performance issues, leaks, or control problems become more likely
15+ years	Above average	Requires consistent upkeep and timely repairs

Maintenance that extends life the most

We see the biggest lifespan gains from these habits:

• Clean condenser coils and keep airflow clear around the cabinet
• Keep door gaskets clean so the doors seal tightly
• Set stable temperatures (avoid frequent extreme adjustments)
• Replace water filters on schedule if your model uses one (reduces valve and ice maker strain)
• Keep the freezer from overpacking so air can circulate
• Address unusual noises early (often a fan or ice maker issue)

For model-specific care and cleaning intervals, use the 79571312312 owner's manual.

Parts that commonly affect “end of life” decisions

A refrigerator often gets replaced when a major sealed-system or cooling component fails, or when repeated smaller failures add up. Examples of parts that can be involved in cooling and ice issues include:

• Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801 (major cooling component)
• Lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C (moves cold air through compartments)
• Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU73753101 (feeds water to dispenser and ice maker)
• Lg refrigerator ice maker assembly model AEQ72909603 AEQ72909603 (ice production and harvesting)

Why it matters

Knowing the typical 10 to 15 year lifespan helps you decide whether to repair or replace. If your refrigerator is under 10 years old, fixing a fan motor, sensor, or inlet valve is often worthwhile; after 10 to 15 years, major cooling repairs can change the value equation.

Kenmore Elite refrigerators (including Kenmore model 79571312312) most often have cooling problems, ice maker or water dispenser issues, and water leaks. In many cases, the root cause is restricted airflow, a failing fan motor, a defrost problem, or a water inlet valve that is not opening or sealing correctly.

Most common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Fridge warm, freezer OK (or vice versa): airflow blockage, evaporator fan issue, or frost buildup from a defrost problem
• No ice or small/hollow cubes: low water flow, clogged filter, or a weak inlet valve
• Water under the fridge or in the crisper area: clogged defrost drain, door left ajar, or ice maker fill overflow
• Clicking, buzzing, or intermittent cooling: compressor start components or compressor trouble
• Lights not working or door alarm acting up: door switch not closing consistently

Quick checks we recommend first (no parts swapping)

1. Confirm settings: refrigerator about 37°F, freezer about 0°F.
2. Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean dust from the condenser area (restricted heat release can mimic “not cooling”).
4. Listen for the evaporator fan when the door is closed; no fan sound often means a fan or control issue.
5. If you have a dispenser, verify household water supply is fully open and the line is not kinked.

Parts that commonly solve these problems on model 79571312312

Symptom	Common suspect part	Example part for this model
Warm temps, poor airflow	Evaporator fan motor	Lg refrigerator evaporator fan motor 4681JB1027C
No ice, slow fill, leaking at valve	Water inlet valve	Lg refrigerator water inlet valve AJU73753101
Door alarm, lights, fan stops when door “open”	Door switch	Refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A
Loud clicking, won’t start cooling	Compressor or overload	Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D and refrigerator compressor TCA38091801

Error codes and model-specific guidance

If your display shows an error code, use our Kenmore reference for the 795 platform: Kenmore 795 model bottom freezer refrigerator error codes. For wiring diagrams, diagnostic steps, and component locations, use the 79571312312 manual.

Why it matters

Cooling, ice, and leak complaints often share the same root causes: airflow restrictions, frost buildup, or water flow problems. Catching those early helps prevent food spoilage, repeated ice maker failures, and water damage.

A bad compressor in your Kenmore refrigerator model 79571312312 usually shows up as poor or no cooling even though the unit has power, often with repeated clicking (trying to start) or a compressor that runs but never brings temperatures down. Use the checks below, then confirm with electrical testing.

Quick symptoms that point to a compressor problem

• Refrigerator and freezer are both warm, but interior lights and controls work
• You hear a click every few minutes from the compressor area (start attempt then shutdown)
• Compressor is very hot to the touch after trying to run (use caution)
• Compressor is silent and never starts, even though fans may run
• You see oil residue near sealed-system tubing (possible sealed-system leak)

What to check first (before blaming the compressor)

These issues can mimic a failed compressor and are faster to rule out:

• Confirm the condenser fan (if equipped) and evaporator fan are running; a failed fan can stop cooling
• Clean condenser coils and make sure airflow around the cabinet is not blocked
• Check for heavy frost on the freezer back wall (defrost problem can restrict airflow)
• Verify temperature settings and that doors seal and close fully
• If the compressor clicks off, inspect the start components; on this model, the overload protector is a common related part

Parts that are commonly involved

If the compressor is not starting or is overheating, these model-matched parts are often part of the diagnosis:

What you notice	Common suspect	Model-matched part to consider
Clicks, won’t start, compressor hot	Overload/start protection issue	Refrigerator compressor overload protector 6750CL0001D
Runs but won’t cool (sealed-system issue)	Compressor or refrigerant system	Refrigerator compressor TCA38091801

Why it matters

A compressor is the heart of the sealed system; if it cannot start, cannot pump, or overheats and trips off, the refrigerator cannot move heat out of the cabinet. Ruling out airflow, frost buildup, and start protection problems prevents unnecessary sealed-system work.
