Kenmore Refrigerator 795.78516801 (79578516801, 795 78516801) Parts

This restrainer is a small retaining clip that helps secure moving or removable components in place, reducing rattles and keeping parts aligned for reliable operation. It's a simple replacement for worn or broken clips. What it does:

• Holds a cover, panel, or door-related component in proper position to prevent shifting
• Reduces noise caused by loose or vibrating parts
• Restores original fit where a broken or missing clip allows movement
• Simple mechanical function — no electrical connections or calibration

• One restrainer

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before beginning repairs
• Inspect surrounding mounting points for damage; replace any broken tabs or fasteners
• Typically installs with basic hand tools; align clip and press or snap into place until secure

This is a replacement mounting bolt used to secure appliance components and assemblies, restoring proper fit and reducing movement that can cause noise or misalignment. Use when a factory fastener is missing or damaged. What it does

• Fastens panels or internal components to maintain correct alignment and structural integrity.
• Prevents vibration-related noise and rubbing by holding parts securely in place.
• Restores secure connections after disassembly for service or repair.
• Helps eliminate intermittent movement that can lead to wear or leaks when a fastener is compromised.

• Use the correct bolt length and thread engagement for the application; do not force a mismatched fastener.
• Tighten to snug, manufacturer-specified torque when available; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping.
• Inspect surrounding parts (washers, nuts, threaded holes) and replace if worn or damaged.
• Disconnect power and follow all safety precautions before servicing the appliance.

This right-side Freezer Basket Support Rail is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. Located inside the freezer compartment, it provides elevated storage shelves for ice cream, frozen vegetables, meats, and more above the freezer floor.

Causes of a bad support rail can include damages such as cracks or breaks that compromise its load-bearing ability over years of use. Sharp freezer temperatures cause constant contraction and expansion.

Symptoms of a bad support rail include:

• Baskets or containers unstable and prone to tipping
• Reduced storage capacity within the freezer
• Safety concerns if a cracked rail were to fully collapse

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

The Ice Door Solenoid Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. This assembly controls the opening and closing of the ice door, which allows ice to be dispensed from the freezer to the exterior of the appliance. When you request ice, the solenoid activates, opening the ice door and permitting ice to pass through.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Door Solenoid Assembly include:

• Ice door not opening or closing properly
• Failure to dispense ice
• Ice accumulating or jamming at the dispenser

Causes for a malfunctioning Ice Door Solenoid Assembly can include electrical issues such as faulty wiring, wear and tear from frequent use, or mechanical problems affecting the solenoid's ability to move the ice door.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/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 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.

Located in the left refrigerator door on french door models.

This connector cover is the small trim piece that shields and conceals the connection area on your refrigerator. Replacing a cracked or missing cover restores a clean, finished look and helps protect connectors from dust and accidental snags.

• Covers and protects the wiring and/or tubing connector cavity
• Helps keep debris out of the connection area
• Maintains proper routing and prevents snagging of harnesses
• Common signs it's needed: cracked or missing cover, exposed connectors, cover won't stay attached, cosmetic damage

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning
• Remove any retaining screw(s) or release tabs to take off the old cover
• Position the new cover, ensuring wires/tubing aren't pinched; secure with original hardware
• Restore power/water and confirm the cover is fully seated

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
