Kenmore 89751805320 side by side refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore model 89751805320, the most reliable way to get the refrigerator’s cubic-foot capacity is to check the capacity/specifications section in the 89751805320 owner's manual. If you need a quick estimate, we recommend calculating interior volume from measurements and converting cubic inches to cubic feet.

Best ways to find cubic feet (in order)

• Check the manual specs: Look for “capacity” or “total volume” in the 89751805320 owner's manual.
• Look at the model tag: The model/serial label is typically inside the fresh food section (side wall, ceiling area, or near drawers). Use the full model number when comparing specs.
• Estimate by measuring: Measure usable interior space and convert to cubic feet.
• Use product family clues carefully: Some brands embed size hints in model families, but it is not consistent enough to rely on for an exact number.

How to estimate cubic feet by measuring

1. Empty the section you’re measuring (refrigerator and freezer can be estimated separately).
2. Measure usable interior:
   • Width (inches)
   • Depth (inches) (front to back of usable space)
   • Height (inches)
3. Multiply: W x D x H = cubic inches.
4. Convert: cubic inches ÷ 1728 = cubic feet.

What you have	What to do	Result
Inches (W x D x H)	Multiply	Cubic inches
Cubic inches	Divide by 1728	Cubic feet

Why it matters

Cubic-foot capacity helps us match the right parts and performance expectations for your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator, including airflow-related items (like a damper) and maintenance items (like a water filter).

On Kenmore model 89751805320, the ER IF code points to an ice fan (ice room fan) airflow problem. That fan moves cold air to the ice maker area; when it is blocked, iced up, or not running, the refrigerator detects poor airflow and triggers ER IF.

What to check first (fast, no parts)

• Power reset: unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Check for frost or ice buildup around the freezer air vents and ice room ducting.
• Make sure the freezer door closes fully and the door gasket seals all the way around.
• Confirm the freezer temperature is set correctly (over-warm settings can reduce ice production and airflow).
• Listen for the fan: with the freezer door switch held closed, you should typically hear airflow.

Common causes and the parts that usually fix them

ER IF is most often caused by restricted airflow (ice) or a failed sensor/control that is misreading conditions.

Symptom you notice	Most likely cause	What we typically replace/test
Fan noise stops, ice maker area warms	Fan not running or airflow blocked by ice	Defrost system checks; sensor checks
Heavy frost on freezer back panel	Defrost problem	Evaporator heater DA000731702
Temps swing, defrost seems inconsistent	Defrost sensor issue	Fridge and defrost sensor DA000547301
Multiple odd behaviors or intermittent errors	Control not driving fan/defrost correctly	Main control board DA000068001

Why it matters

The ice fan is what keeps the ice maker compartment cold. When airflow is reduced, you can get slow ice production, melting or clumping ice, and temperature instability that can lead to more frost buildup.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 89751805320, there typically is not a separate, mechanical defrost timer you can turn with a screwdriver. Defrost is usually controlled by an electronic defrost control (often on the main control board), so the “timer” function is handled inside the control system. See the 89751805320 owner's manual for model-specific operating and troubleshooting details.

What you should look for instead of a timer

Most modern side-by-side refrigerators use an adaptive defrost control. That means you will usually be checking components in the defrost system rather than hunting for a dial-style timer.

Common defrost-related components include:

• Main control board (runs the defrost logic)
• Defrost sensor or thermistor (tells the control when the evaporator is cold or warm)
• Evaporator heater (melts frost off the evaporator)
• Defrost drain path (carries meltwater to the drain pan)

If you suspect a defrost problem, the parts most often involved on this model include the fridge and defrost sensor DA000547301 and the evaporator heater DA000731702.

Quick checks for a defrost problem (safe, no special tools)

• Look for heavy frost on the freezer back wall or weak airflow from vents.
• Listen for normal “clicking” at the start and end of defrost cycles (this can be normal operation).
• Check that doors seal tightly and are not being held open by bins or food packages.
• Confirm the temperature settings are not set unusually warm.
• Make sure the condenser area is not blocked by dust buildup or items behind the unit.

What “no defrost timer” means for troubleshooting

If you expected…	You will usually find…	What to test/inspect
A turnable timer dial	Electronic defrost control logic	Sensor, heater, wiring, control board
A timer behind the toe grille	No timer there on most electronic models	Frost pattern and airflow symptoms
A timer in the control housing	Display/control electronics	Error symptoms, intermittent cooling

Why it matters

If you spend time searching for a mechanical timer that is not used on this design, you can miss the real cause of frost buildup: a failed sensor, heater, wiring issue, or control board problem. Targeting the correct defrost components speeds up diagnosis and helps restore proper cooling.
