Kenmore Refrigerator 795.71073 (79571073, 795 71073) Parts

The Water Valve Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is essential for controlling the flow of water to the ice maker and the water dispenser. This solenoid-operated valve responds to signals from the refrigerator’s electronic control system to accurately manage the release of water, ensuring efficient operation and reliability.

Symptoms of a bad Water Valve Assembly include:

• The ice maker not producing ice or producing very small cubes
• The water dispenser not functioning or dispensing a trickle instead of a steady flow
• Water leaking from the refrigerator

Causes of a bad water valve assembly can stem from mineral deposits that clog the valve, electrical failures that impair the valve’s operation, or wear and tear from normal usage leading to leaks or malfunctions.

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

Note: Flow meter is not needed on all models, remove if necessary. Redesigned single valve replaces older dual solenoid valves. Wiring harness is included. Located behind the refrigerator.

The Refrigerator Flipper Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This assists in the smooth opening and closing of the refrigerator door. It ensures an airtight seal when the door is closed, preventing cool air from escaping and maintaining the refrigerator's internal temperature. 

Causes of a malfunctioning Refrigerator Flipper Assembly can range from physical damage, such as cracks or breakage, to wear and tear from regular use.

Symptoms of a bad Refrigerator Flipper Assembly include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the refrigerator door
• A noticeable gap when the door is supposed to be sealed shut
• Increased energy consumption as the refrigerator works harder to maintain its temperature
• Spoilage of food items quicker than expected due to poor temperature regulation

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

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.

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 part for LG refrigerators. This part creates a tight seal around the refrigerator door, preventing warm air from entering and cool air from escaping. 

Common causes of a bad gasket include wear and tear over time, damage from frequent door opening and closing, or exposure to temperature fluctuations that cause the material to degrade. 

Symptoms of a bad door gasket assembly include:

• Visible cracks, tears, or deformities in the gasket
• The refrigerator door not closing properly
• Increased condensation or frost buildup inside the refrigerator
• Higher energy bills due to the refrigerator working harder to maintain temperature

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

This sub PCB assembly is an electronic control board used in select LG appliances. It manages signals and low-voltage power for a specific feature or module, helping restore normal operation when the original board becomes unresponsive or fails.

• Provides low-voltage control for the designated function or user interface
• Communicates with the main control to execute settings and cycles
• Helps resolve symptoms such as unresponsive controls, blank/flickering display, intermittent operation, or related error codes
• Supports reliable operation of the affected subsystem after replacement

• Disconnect power at the breaker; shut off gas/water if applicable
• Use ESD protection and handle the board by the edges
• Photograph wire locations; transfer connectors one at a time to avoid miswiring
• Follow the service sheet for any required option-code entry, reset, or diagnostic check after installation

This refrigerator sheath heater melts frost from the evaporator so air can circulate freely and the unit can cool properly. Replacing a failed heater helps restore even temperatures and reduce frost buildup in the freezer.

• Warms the evaporator coil during defrost cycles to clear ice
• Helps prevent restricted airflow, warm spots, and long run times
• Common failure symptoms include heavy frost on the evaporator, poor cooling, ice buildup on the back panel, or frequent defrost errors
• May cause sizzling sounds or water under the evaporator area during normal operation after replacement

• Unplug the refrigerator before service; defrost any heavy ice to access parts safely
• Access typically from the rear of the freezer compartment behind the evaporator cover
• Handle heater leads and evaporator fins carefully to avoid damage
• Secure all connectors before reassembly

This small retaining clip secures its mating component within the refrigerator assembly, keeping parts properly seated and reducing vibration. Replacing a damaged or missing clip helps restore a snug fit and reliable operation of the attached piece.

• Holds the designated part firmly in place within the assembly
• Maintains proper alignment to prevent movement or rattling
• Helps ensure panels, ducts, or lines stay secured during use
• Symptoms can include loose or sagging parts, vibration noises, or components that won't stay attached

• Disconnect power; if working near the water system, also shut off the water supply
• Note the original orientation and placement before removal
• Fully seat the mating component, then press the new clip into place without forcing
• Check operation before reassembly

A decorative drain trim that restores the finished look around the drain opening and helps direct excess water into the drain channel. Replaces a worn or damaged trim piece to improve appearance and reduce water pooling at the drain area. What it does

• Covers and protects the drain opening while keeping the area looking finished.
• Guides water into the drain channel to help prevent minor pooling or splashing.
• Replaces cracked, bent, or cosmetically worn trim that can catch debris.
• Common symptom: visible damage or missing trim around the drain opening; water pooling or uneven appearance near the drain.
