Kenmore Refrigerator 795.71072 (79571072, 795 71072) Parts

The Water Filter Bypass is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is used when you choose not to use a water filter in your refrigerator. This bypass plug allows water to flow directly to the dispenser and ice maker without being filtered, ensuring continuous operation even when a filter is not installed.

Causes of a bad water filter bypass can include damage to the bypass plug, clogging from debris, or wear and tear over time. If the bypass plug is not functioning properly, it can disrupt the water flow and lead to issues with the ice maker and water dispenser.

Symptoms of a bad water filter bypass include:

• Reduced water flow or no water flow to the dispenser
• Ice maker not producing ice
• Water leaks around the bypass plug area

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Door Gasket Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. As a sealing system, it surrounds the door perimeter maintaining a thermal barrier. Proper alignment and fit preserves energy efficiency.

Causes of malfunction involve deterioration of adhesive over extended compression/decompression cycles. Mineral deposits may also harden material compromising flexibility.

Symptoms of a faulty gasket assembly include:

• Cool air detectable leaking around door edges
• Condensation visible accumulating on seal
• Louder than normal seals sounds when closing door

This is an LG OEM part that is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

Note: 90 degree elbow coupler (Fits 1/4" diameter tubing on each end) For 5/16" elbow connector, order part# 4932JA3009B.

The Water Line Union is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This component connects sections of the water line, ensuring a secure and leak-free passage of water to the refrigerator's icemaker and water dispenser. It is an elbow tube union connector, which connects two tubes at a 90-degree angle.

Causes of a bad water line union can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage from high water pressure, or deterioration due to mineral buildup and age. A compromised union can lead to water leaks and disruption in the water supply.

Symptoms of a bad Water Line Union include:

• Water leaks around the connection points
• Reduced water flow to the icemaker or water dispenser
• Puddles or moisture near the refrigerator
• Unusual noises from the water line

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Door Gasket Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. As a vital component of the refrigerator door, the gasket assembly helps to create an air-tight seal around the door opening. This prevents warm air from entering the interior compartment, maintaining consistent temperatures and preserving food freshness. 

The causes of a bad gasket assembly can include wear and tear over time, damage due to overtightening of the door, or compression of the gasket material from repeated opening and closing of the door. 

Symptoms of a bad gasket assembly include:

• Difficulty closing or improper alignment of the door 
• Warm air leaking into the interior refrigerator sections
• Higher energy costs from the compressor working overtime
• Loss of the "cooler" temperature feel and decreased freshness of foods stored inside

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore refrigerators.
