Kenmore 79571304010 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79571304010, the ice maker is reset by power-cycling the refrigerator and confirming the ice maker power switch is set to I (ON). After restoring power, the ice maker starts making ice automatically once the freezer reaches 15°F (-9°C) or colder (this can take up to 24 hours). See the 79571304010 owner's manual for the exact switch location and operating details.

• Set the ice maker power switch to O (OFF).
• Unplug the refrigerator (or turn off the circuit breaker) for 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Set the ice maker power switch back to I (ON).
• Wait for the freezer to reach 15°F (-9°C) or below; then allow up to 24 hours for normal ice production.

The manual troubleshooting for this model points to a few common causes:

• Ice maker switch is OFF: confirm it is on I (ON).
• Water supply is off or not connected: verify the shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is connected.
• Freezer is too warm: set the freezer colder and avoid frequent door openings.
• Ice bin is jammed with piled cubes: level cubes by hand and reinstall the bin correctly.

A “reset” only helps if the ice maker is powered and the freezer is cold enough. On model 79571304010, the ice maker will not cycle until it reaches its operating temperature, so temperature and water supply checks solve most no-ice complaints.

On Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 79571304010, the model and serial number are printed on an identification label located on the right-hand side of the refrigerator compartment. Use that exact model number when ordering parts or checking specifications in the 79571304010 owner's manual.

Check these common label locations first (in order):

• Right-hand side wall inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment
• Inside the refrigerator compartment near the crisper area
• Inside the door area (open the door and scan the inner frame)
• Behind the base grille or kick plate at the bottom front

Once you find the label, copy the information exactly as shown.

• Write down the full model number (for example, 79571304010)
• Record the serial number as well (helpful for service and part revisions)
• Take a clear photo so you can zoom in later
• Match every digit; one wrong number can pull the wrong door gasket, ice maker, or control board

Kenmore model numbers identify the exact design family and component set. Using the correct model number helps us match the right parts the first time, especially for fit-sensitive items like a door gasket, ice maker assembly, or water inlet valve.

Common problems we see on Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators like model 79571304010 are weak cooling (often from dirty condenser coils or airflow issues), frost buildup from door sealing or defrost problems, and ice maker or water system troubles. Many fixes start with cleaning, leveling, and checking door closure using the 79571304010 owner's manual.

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coils, blocked air vents, or the unit needing up to 24 hours to fully cool after being plugged in
• Frost or ice crystals on food: door not closing properly, frequent door openings letting humid air in
• Doors not closing or sealing: refrigerator not level, bins or shelves out of position, food packages blocking the door, sticky gaskets
• Ice tastes bad or smells: old ice, unwrapped food odors, dirty ice bin, interior needs cleaning
• Water puddles or moisture: normal defrost water in the drain pan, or a drain issue if water shows up where it should not

1. Give it time: after power loss or first plug-in, allow up to 24 hours for full cooling.
2. Clean condenser coils: dirty coils reduce airflow and make the compressor work harder.
3. Confirm doors close firmly: push doors shut and check for food packages or misaligned bins.
4. Level the refrigerator: an unlevel cabinet can cause poor door sealing.
5. Clean and condition gaskets: clean the gasket and mating surface; a thin coat of kitchen wax can reduce sticking.

Cooling, frost, and ice maker problems often trace back to airflow and door sealing. A door that does not close completely can cause frost, temperature swings, and longer run times, which increases wear on components like the compressor.

If your Kenmore 79571304010 is warm at the bottom of the fresh food section, the most common causes are restricted airflow (blocked vents or overpacked shelves), temperature controls needing adjustment, or a cooling system issue such as a fan problem. Start with airflow and settings first, then move to parts checks using the 79571304010 owner's manual.

• Make sure the top air vent(s) inside the refrigerator are not blocked by food containers.
• Avoid packing items tightly against the rear wall; leave space for air to circulate down and return.
• Confirm both doors close fully; a door left slightly open can warm the compartment.
• Set temperatures correctly and wait 24 hours between changes (this model’s manual calls that out).
• Clean dust and pet hair from the condenser area (cooling performance drops when heat cannot dissipate).

This refrigerator is designed to move cold air from the freezer up into the refrigerator, then return air back down. When vents are blocked, the top may feel cooler while the bottom stays warm.

If airflow is clear and settings are correct but the bottom stays warm, we focus on components that move air and maintain temperatures.

• If you do not hear normal airflow inside, the evaporator fan may be failing; see how to fix your evaporator cooling fan.
• If the interior light does not turn off when the door closes, the door switch can cause temperature issues; check the lg refrigerator door switch 6600JB1010A.
• If the door does not seal or is hard to close, warm air can enter and disrupt circulation; inspect the gasket for gaps and tears.

A warm lower section is usually an airflow problem, and airflow problems also lead to food spoilage, temperature swings, and extra compressor run time. Fixing vent blockage and door sealing restores the designed top-to-bottom circulation.
