Kenmore Refrigerator 795.78409801 (79578409801, 795 78409801) Parts

The Drier Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This part is responsible for removing moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant. This ensures that the refrigerant circulates effectively and efficiently, preventing damage to other components and maintaining the refrigerator's cooling performance.

Causes of a bad Drier Assembly can include contamination from moisture entering the refrigerant lines, blockages from debris or particulates, and general wear and tear over time that reduces its effectiveness.

Symptoms of a bad Drier Assembly include:

• Reduced cooling efficiency or warm refrigerator temperatures
• Unusual noises from the refrigeration system
• The compressor running continuously or cycling frequently
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils due to improper refrigerant flow

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

The Water Tube Connector is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is specifically designed to securely connect the water supply tubes in the refrigerator. The connector ensures a proper seal, preventing leaks and ensuring a consistent water supply to your refrigerator.

Causes of a bad water tube connector can include wear and tear over time, exposure to water pressure, or damage due to accidental impact or mishandling. These factors can result in leaks, water flow disruptions, or a loose connection, leading to issues with water dispensing or ice making.

Symptoms of a bad water tube connector may include:

• Water leaks at the connection point
• Reduced or intermittent water flow
• Complete water flow blockage

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Compressor Overload Protector is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. It plays an important safety role in protecting the compressor from damage due to excessive heat. Located near the compressor unit, the overload protector functions to shut off power to the compressor if temperatures become too high during operation.

Causes can include normal wear over time rendering it less responsive to temperature changes. Mineral or refrigerant deposits may also impede its ability to detect overheating conditions accurately.

Symptoms of a faulty overload protector include:

• Refrigerator fails to properly cool or the compressor does not run
• Circuit board or electrical component failure or burnout
• Lack of cold air production and higher than normal freezer/fridge temperatures

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