Kenmore Elite 79572183315 refrigerator Parts

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572183315 is a bottom-mount (bottom freezer) refrigerator; most units in this class are about 33 inches wide, 30 to 34 inches deep, and 67 to 70 inches tall. For the exact cabinet and door-swing dimensions for your unit, use the 79572183315 owner's manual.

Typical dimensions you can expect

Because we do not have model-specific dimension text in the extracted manual excerpts here, we use typical sizing for Kenmore 795-series bottom-mount refrigerators and recommend confirming in the manual before ordering parts or planning a fit.

• Width: commonly ~33 inches
• Height: commonly ~67 to 70 inches
• Depth (cabinet): commonly ~30 to 34 inches
• Depth with handles: often adds ~1 to 3 inches
• Door clearance: plan extra space for door swing and drawer pull-out

Quick fit checklist (before you measure)

• Measure the opening width at the front and back of the cabinet cutout.
• Measure height to the lowest overhead cabinet or trim.
• Measure depth to the wall and note baseboards that push the refrigerator forward.
• Confirm whether you need depth with doors open for crisper drawers.
• Leave airflow space (commonly 1 inch at the top and 1 inch behind, unless your manual specifies otherwise).

Measurement guide (what to record)

Measurement	How to measure	Why it matters
Width	Left to right at the widest point	Ensures it fits between cabinets
Height	Floor to top of hinge cover	Prevents overhead clearance issues
Depth	Back wall to front edge (and with handles)	Avoids sticking out too far
Door swing	From hinge side to fully open	Prevents hitting walls/islands

Why it matters

Getting the size right prevents delivery and installation problems, and it also helps when replacing fit-sensitive items like a door gasket or door bin. If you are troubleshooting cooling or odors while you are planning a move, replacing routine items like the lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408 can also help performance.

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators, including model 79572183315, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal household use. Regular maintenance (cleaning condenser coils, keeping door gaskets sealing, and changing filters on schedule) helps you stay closer to the high end of that range; see the 79572183315 owner's manual for model-specific care guidance.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

A refrigerator’s life is usually determined by how hard the sealed system and airflow components have to work.

• Condenser coil cleanliness: Dusty coils make the compressor run hotter and longer.
• Door seal condition: Leaky gaskets cause temperature swings and longer run times.
• Airflow inside the cabinet: Overpacking blocks vents and stresses the evaporator fan.
• Water and air filter maintenance: Clogged filters can reduce dispenser flow and create nuisance issues.
• Room conditions: Hot garages and tight built-ins shorten lifespan by trapping heat.

Maintenance schedule we recommend

Use this as a practical baseline for Kenmore bottom-mount units.

Task	Typical frequency	Why it matters
Replace water filter	Every 6 months	Protects water quality and helps dispenser flow
Replace air filter	Every 6 months	Helps reduce odors and keeps airflow fresher
Clean condenser coils	Every 6 to 12 months	Reduces compressor run time and heat stress
Inspect/clean door gaskets	Every 3 to 6 months	Prevents warm air leaks and frost buildup

If you need the correct filter for this model, match it to the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801.

Signs your refrigerator is nearing end-of-life

These symptoms often show up more frequently after the 10-year mark.

• Food temperatures drift even after adjusting settings
• Compressor runs almost constantly or is unusually loud
• Frost buildup returns quickly after defrosting
• Water leaks or recurring ice maker/dispenser problems
• Repairs start stacking up (multiple parts in a short period)

Why it matters

Knowing the typical 10 to 15 year lifespan helps you decide when routine maintenance is enough versus when a major repair (like a compressor or control board issue) is no longer cost-effective.

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79572183315 include warm temperatures (often airflow or sealed-system related), frost buildup from defrost or door-seal issues, water leaks from a clogged defrost drain or loose tubing, and dispenser or ice maker troubles. We use the 79572183315 owner's manual to match symptoms to the right checks.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coil, failed evaporator fan, restricted airflow, or compressor/start components
• Frost or ice buildup: defrost sensor/heater issues, door not sealing, frequent door openings
• Water under the fridge or in drawers: clogged defrost drain, cracked/loose water line, filter not seated
• No ice or slow ice production: low water pressure, frozen fill tube, ice maker failure
• Bad odors: expired air filter, spills, food trapped in drawers

Quick checks we recommend first (no tools)

• Set temps to typical targets: 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer; wait 24 hours for stabilization.
• Make sure vents inside the refrigerator are not blocked by food containers.
• Confirm doors close fully and gaskets are clean and making full contact.
• If the unit is noisy, listen for where it comes from: freezer (fan) vs. back bottom (compressor area).
• If water/ice is affected, replace the filter on schedule and flush the system.

Parts that commonly solve these issues on model 79572183315

Symptom	Common part to inspect/replace	Example part for this model
Poor water taste/slow dispenser	Water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Odors in fresh food section	Air filter	Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
Frost/temperature swings	Defrost sensor	Refrigerator defrost sensor assembly 6615JB2005R
Warm temps, long run time	Condenser coil/airflow	Refrigerator condenser coil ACG73645004
No ice	Ice maker	Ice maker assembly AEQ73110203

Why it matters

Catching airflow, filtration, and door-seal problems early helps prevent food spoilage and reduces strain on major components like the compressor, which can turn a simple maintenance fix into a bigger repair.

Kenmore Elite is Kenmore’s premium product line, and it has been sold across multiple appliance categories for many years. For your Kenmore Elite bottom-mount refrigerator model 79572183315, the most accurate way to get the year is to read the serial number and decode the manufacture date shown by that serial format; use the 79572183315 owner's manual to find the rating label.

How to find the year for model 79572183315

Start by locating the model and serial tag, then write the serial number exactly as printed.

Common label locations on bottom-mount refrigerators:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light housing
• On the door jamb area behind the door seal
• On the rear exterior panel
• Near the crisper drawer frame

What the serial number tells you

Kenmore appliances are built by different manufacturers, so the serial format varies by supplier. The serial typically includes a coded date (year plus week or month).

Serial number clue	What it indicates	What to do next
Letters plus numbers in a long string	Date is embedded in a code	Record it exactly, then decode by the maker’s format
A clear week or month segment	Production period is included	Use that segment to pinpoint the build timeframe
A prefix tied to a supplier	Identifies who built it	Use the supplier’s date-code rules

Why “line introduction” is less useful than “build year”

The year your specific refrigerator was built matters most because it affects parts compatibility and service procedures.

It helps when you are:

• Ordering maintenance parts like the refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
• Replacing odor-control items like the refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
• Matching the correct control and sensor versions during troubleshooting
