Kenmore Elite 79574113710 bottom-mount refrigerator Parts

To raise a Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79574113710 off the floor, we adjust the two front leveling legs to lift the front and set a slight backward tilt so the doors close properly. Use an 11/16-inch wrench or a flat-blade screwdriver and follow the steps in the 79574113710 owner's manual.

Safe, correct way to raise it (leveling legs)

1. With the refrigerator in place, have someone gently push backward on the top to take weight off the legs.
2. Turn the leveling leg:
   • Left (counterclockwise) to raise that side
   • Right (clockwise) to lower that side
3. Make small adjustments, then re-check door closing.
4. If doors do not close easily, raise the front slightly more (turn both legs left the same amount) to increase the rearward tilt.

Quick checklist

• Unplug only if you need to move the refrigerator significantly; for simple leveling, power can stay on.
• Adjust both front legs evenly when correcting front-to-back tilt.
• Check side-to-side level so the cabinet does not rock.
• Confirm both fresh food doors close fully without needing a slam.
• Re-check after the refrigerator is loaded with food (weight can change the stance).

If you need more clearance than the leveling legs provide

Leveling legs are designed for leveling and minor height changes. If you need extra clearance for a floor transition or to roll the unit, we raise the front so it rolls easier, then set it back down and re-level.

Goal	Best method	Notes
Stop rocking, improve door closing	Adjust front leveling legs	Designed for this purpose
Temporarily roll it out for cleaning	Raise front so it rolls easier	Re-level after moving
Fix uneven door gap	Adjust door hinge nut	Separate from leveling

Why it matters

Proper leveling reduces cabinet rocking, helps the doors seal, and supports consistent temperatures. A slight tilt to the rear also helps the doors close more reliably on this two-door fresh food design.

Common problems we see on the Kenmore Elite 79574113710 bottom-mount refrigerator include no cooling or warm temperatures (often tied to settings, airflow, or defrost issues), ice maker and dispenser failures, and control or sensor problems. Use the 79574113710 owner's manual troubleshooting and diagnostics sections to narrow the cause fast.

Most common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Refrigerator and freezer not cooling: demo mode enabled, controls set incorrectly, defrost cycle in progress, or a cooling system problem
• Refrigerator or freezer too warm: blocked air vents, frequent door openings, hot room conditions, or warm food load
• Ice maker not making ice: ice maker assembly issue, water supply problem, or dispenser-related failure
• Water tastes or smells off: overdue water filter replacement
• Odors inside the fresh food section: overdue air filter replacement

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm the unit is not set to OFF and is not in demo mode.
2. Allow up to 24 hours after installation or moving for temperatures to stabilize.
3. Check for blocked vents and rearrange food to restore airflow.
4. Reduce long or frequent door openings; warm, humid air raises temps.
5. Verify the room is within typical operating limits (the manual lists 55°F to 110°F ambient).

Parts that commonly solve these issues (when symptoms match)

Symptom	Common fix	Example part for this model
Bad refrigerator odors	Replace air filter	Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
Poor water taste, slow flow, or overdue maintenance	Replace water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9980 AGF80300805
Ice production or dispensing problems	Inspect/replace ice maker	Lg refrigerator ice maker AEQ73130004

Why it matters

Catching airflow, settings, and maintenance issues early prevents temperature swings that can spoil food and helps the compressor and sealed system run less often. Filters also protect taste, odor control, and overall refrigerator performance.

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators, including model 79574113710, typically last 12 to 15 years with normal household use. Consistent maintenance (clean airflow paths, good door sealing, and timely filter changes) helps the sealed system and cooling performance stay reliable longer.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

A refrigerator’s life is mostly driven by compressor run time, heat removal at the condenser, and how well the doors seal.

• 12 to 15 years is the normal expected range for a full-size refrigerator
• Heavy use (large family, frequent door openings) shortens lifespan
• Poor ventilation or dirty condenser areas increase compressor stress
• Worn door gaskets cause longer run times and temperature swings
• Skipping filter changes can reduce water flow and ice maker performance

Maintenance that extends life (high impact)

Use the care and maintenance schedule in the 79574113710 owner's manual and focus on these items:

• Keep the condenser area clean and unobstructed
• Confirm doors close fully and shelves/bins are not blocking closure
• Replace the water filter on schedule if you use the dispenser/ice maker
• Replace the air filter if your model uses one for odor control
• After power interruptions, verify temperatures return to normal (food safety and compressor load)

Common maintenance items for this model

Item	What it helps with	Typical replacement cadence
Water filter	Water taste, dispenser flow, ice quality	About every 6 months
Air filter	Odor control, fresh food compartment air quality	About every 6 months
Door gasket	Prevents warm air leaks and frost	Replace when torn, warped, or not sealing

If you need model-matched replacements, use parts like the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9980 AGF80300805 and the lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer to hold temperature uses more energy and wears the compressor faster. Simple upkeep (especially airflow and sealing) reduces run time, improves temperature stability, and helps you reach the full 12 to 15 year lifespan.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79574113710 is a bottom-freezer (bottom-mount) refrigerator in the 795.7411* series. For the exact exterior dimensions (width, depth, height) and total capacity for your specific version, use the specifications and installation sections in the 79574113710 use and care guide.

What “size” includes for this refrigerator

When we talk about refrigerator “size,” we usually mean a mix of exterior fit and interior storage:

• Overall width (door-to-door at the widest point)
• Overall height (including hinges, plus leveling adjustment)
• Overall depth (cabinet only vs. depth with handles)
• Clearances (space needed for airflow and door/drawer opening)
• Total capacity in cubic feet (interior storage volume)

How to measure your space correctly

Use these steps before ordering a replacement or planning a move:

• Measure the opening width in three places (top, middle, bottom)
• Measure height to the lowest overhead cabinet or soffit
• Measure depth from the back wall to the front edge of counters
• Plan for door swing and full freezer-drawer extension
• Leave ventilation space per the clearances listed in the manual

Quick reference: common dimension types

These labels help you compare listings and avoid surprises.

Dimension type	What it measures	Why it matters
Width	Widest point across doors	Fit between cabinets
Depth (cabinet)	Box only, no handles	Counter-depth planning
Depth (with handles)	Front of handles to back	Walkway clearance
Height	Floor to top hinge area	Overhead clearance

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is even slightly too wide or too deep can block installation, limit door opening, or reduce airflow, which can hurt cooling performance and efficiency.
