Kenmore Elite 79573153610 refrigerator Parts

If your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79573153610 has a failing compressor, you typically see poor cooling (fresh food and freezer warming), long run times, unusual buzzing or clicking near the back, and sometimes repeated start attempts. Confirm basics first, because airflow or a control issue can mimic compressor failure.

Quick checks before blaming the compressor

• Verify the refrigerator is plugged in firmly and the outlet is working.
• Make sure the condenser area is not packed with dust and the unit has breathing room.
• Listen at the back lower area: repeated click, hum, then silence often points to a start problem.
• Check for warm temperatures in both sections even though the unit runs a lot.
• Look for error indicators and follow the troubleshooting steps in the 79573153610 owner's manual.

What the symptoms usually mean

Symptom you notice	Most common cause	What to check next
Fridge and freezer both warm	Sealed system or compressor issue	Feel for heat at the compressor, listen for repeated start attempts
Clicking every few minutes	Start relay/overload issue (sometimes compressor)	Inspect/replace the start device; test compressor windings
Loud buzzing/humming from back	Compressor struggling to start	Check start relay, power supply, and condenser airflow
Runs constantly but barely cools	Low refrigerant, restriction, weak compressor	Check condenser coil cleanliness and fan operation

Parts that are commonly involved

A “bad compressor” diagnosis often starts with the start components and cooling system parts that support it.

• If the compressor will not start and you hear clicking, the refrigerator compressor start relay EBG60663230 is a common suspect.
• If cooling is weak and the system is contaminated or restricted, a sealed-system repair may involve the refrigerator filter dryer ADH73150208.
• If the compressor is confirmed failed electrically or mechanically, replacement is the refrigerator compressor TCA38091801.

Why it matters

A compressor is the heart of the cooling system. Misdiagnosing it can lead to unnecessary cost, because a dirty condenser coil, a failed fan, or a bad start relay can produce similar “not cooling” symptoms.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator warranty length depends on the exact warranty statement that came with your unit and the purchase date; for model 79573153610, the most reliable place to confirm coverage terms is the 79573153610 owner's manual and your proof of purchase.

What to check to confirm your exact warranty

• The date of sale (warranty time typically starts here)
• Whether coverage is limited (parts only) or includes labor
• Any sealed system coverage (compressor, condenser, evaporator) versus general component coverage
• Whether the refrigerator was used in a residential setting (most warranties assume this)
• Any exclusions for filters and consumables (water filter, air filter)

Common warranty coverage areas (what’s usually included)

Warranty terms vary, but these are the areas most often separated into different coverage periods:

Coverage area	Examples of parts	Why it’s separated
General refrigeration functions	Controls, sensors, fans	Higher wear and more service calls
Sealed system	Compressor, condenser, evaporator	Higher-cost components, specialized service
Dispenser and ice system	Ice maker, chute door motor	Water and ice issues are common and complex
Consumables	Water filter, air filter	Routine maintenance items

If you are troubleshooting a performance issue during the warranty period, identifying the affected system helps you describe the problem clearly (for example, ice production versus cooling versus water dispensing).

Why it matters

Warranty coverage can change based on component type and time since purchase. Confirming the exact terms for your Kenmore Elite 79573153610 helps you avoid paying out of pocket for repairs that may be covered.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 79573153610 is a large-capacity bottom-freezer style; most Kenmore 795-series units are about 30 cubic feet total capacity. For the exact rated cubic feet for your specific configuration, use the specifications section in the 79573153610 owner's manual.

What “cubic feet” means (and what it does not)

Cubic feet is the usable interior storage volume (fresh food plus freezer). It is not calculated from the outside cabinet size.

• It is based on interior compartment volume
• It excludes insulation thickness and mechanical space
• It is a rating used to compare refrigerator sizes
• It does not tell you shelf layout or door-bin space

How to estimate cubic feet at home (accurate enough for planning)

If you want to confirm capacity with a quick measurement, we use interior dimensions.

• Measure usable interior width, height, and depth (in inches) for the refrigerator section
• Multiply to get cubic inches
• Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet
• Repeat for the freezer section
• Add the two results for total cubic feet

Quick conversion table

Measurement result	Convert to	Formula
Cubic inches	Cubic feet	cubic inches ÷ 1,728
Refrigerator section cu ft	Total cu ft	add freezer cu ft
Freezer section cu ft	Total cu ft	add refrigerator cu ft

Why it matters

Knowing the correct cubic feet helps you compare replacement refrigerators, plan kitchen fit, and set expectations for storage. If the fridge feels “smaller,” blocked air vents and overcrowding often reduce usable space even when capacity is unchanged.

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite 79573153610 refrigerator include warm temperatures from restricted airflow or dirty coils, ice maker and dispenser issues, water leaks, and door sealing problems. We use the 79573153610 owner's manual to confirm control settings and diagnostics, then target the most likely airflow, ice, or water-supply cause.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coil, blocked vents, evaporator fan not moving air, or a compressor/start issue
• Freezer cold but fridge warm: iced-over evaporator, failed fan, or air duct blockage
• Ice maker not making ice: clogged filter, low water pressure, frozen fill tube, or ice maker failure
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: restricted filter, kinked water line, or inlet valve problem
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged defrost drain, loose tubing connections, or door not sealing
• Frost buildup: door gasket leak or frequent door openings

Quick checks we recommend first (no parts required)

1. Set temps to typical targets: 37°F fresh food, 0°F freezer.
2. Make sure air vents inside the compartments are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean the condenser area (unplug first); dust buildup can raise temps and run time.
4. Confirm the doors close fully and the gaskets make full contact all the way around.
5. If water or ice is weak, verify the household shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.

Common fixes and the parts that match this model

Problem area	What to try	Model-matched part example
Water tastes bad, slow flow	Replace filter, flush several gallons	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
Odors in fresh food section	Replace air filter	Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
Ice not dispensing or clumping	Inspect ice bin and auger drive	Lg refrigerator ice maker and auger motor assembly EAU62563503
Frost or sweating at door	Inspect and warm-form gasket	Refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461

Why it matters

Most “common problems” trace back to airflow (fans, coils, vents), water supply (filter, tubing), or door sealing (gaskets). Fixing the root cause protects food temperatures, reduces energy use, and prevents repeat failures.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator like model 79573153610 typically lasts 10 to 15 years. With consistent maintenance (clean condenser coils, keep door gaskets sealing, and replace filters on schedule), it can often reach the upper end of that range.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most refrigerator life is driven by heat management, door sealing, and how hard the sealed system has to work.

• 10 to 15 years is the normal expectation for a modern refrigerator
• Heavy use (frequent door openings, warm garage placement) shortens life
• Poor airflow and dirty coils raise compressor run time and wear
• Weak door sealing causes temperature swings and frost issues
• Water and air filtration maintenance helps overall performance and odor control

Maintenance checklist that helps you get the full lifespan

Use these habits to reduce compressor load and prevent common cooling problems:

• Vacuum and brush the condenser area regularly (pet hair and dust matter)
• Confirm doors close squarely and don’t “bounce” back open
• Clean and inspect the door gasket; replace if torn or permanently deformed
• Replace the water filter on schedule (taste, flow, and ice quality)
• Replace the air filter as recommended to reduce odors and airflow restriction

For model-specific care intervals and locations (filters, coils, controls), follow the 79573153610 owner's manual.

Common wear items and what they impact

Item	What it affects	When it matters most
Water filter	Water taste, dispenser flow, ice quality	Slow fill, bad taste/odor, cloudy ice
Air filter	Odors and fresh-food compartment air quality	Persistent smells, food odor transfer
Door gasket	Temperature stability and frost control	Condensation, frost, warm spots

If you’re doing routine upkeep, these model-matched parts are commonly replaced:

• Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9690 AGF80300801
• Lg refrigerator air filter ADQ73214408
• Refrigerator door gasket, right ADX72930461

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer and hotter than it should (dirty coils, air leaks, clogged filters) puts extra strain on the compressor and control system. Keeping airflow clear and seals tight is the simplest way to protect cooling performance and extend service life.
