Finding the Cubic Feet Capacity of Your Kenmore Model 795 Refrigerator

How to Find Your Kenmore 795's Cubic Feet Capacity

The cubic feet capacity of a Kenmore Model 795 refrigerator depends on which specific variant you own, because Kenmore made several versions under that model number. The most direct way to find your exact capacity is to check the product information label inside your refrigerator or in your owner's manual — not to estimate it from the model number alone.

Kenmore Model 795 refrigerators typically range from 24 to 28 cubic feet, but that range covers different configurations: some are French-door models, some are side-by-side, and some are top-freezer units. Each layout holds a different amount of usable space even when the exterior dimensions are similar. Your manual or the label on the interior wall will give you the exact figure for your unit.

Key Takeaways

• The cubic feet capacity is printed on a label inside your refrigerator, usually on the wall of the fresh-food section or on the back wall near the top.
• Your owner's manual lists the capacity in the specifications section, typically near the front or in a table with other model details.
• Kenmore Model 795 comes in multiple configurations — French-door, side-by-side, and top-freezer — so the model number alone does not tell you the capacity.
• If you have lost your manual, you can search for it online using your full model number, which appears on the same label as the capacity.

Where the Capacity Label Is Located

Open your refrigerator door and look at the interior wall on the right or left side of the fresh-food compartment. Most Kenmore refrigerators have a white or silver label printed directly on this wall. The label lists the model number, serial number, and cubic feet capacity — usually shown as a number followed by "cu. ft." or "cubic feet."

If you do not see a label on the side walls, check the back wall of the fresh-food section, near the top where the wall meets the ceiling. Some models place the label there instead. The label may be partially hidden by shelves or drawers, so you may need to remove them to see it clearly.

Reading Your Model Number and Specifications

Your full model number appears on that same interior label and usually starts with "Kenmore" followed by a series of numbers. The "795" is only part of the model designation — the complete number might look like "Kenmore 795.71234.001" or similar. Write down the entire model number, because it identifies which specific refrigerator you own and what its capacity is.

Next to the model number, you will see other specifications: voltage, amperage, and the cubic feet capacity. The capacity is the measurement you need. Write it down or take a photo of the label so you have it for future reference — you may need it if you are planning a kitchen renovation, moving, or troubleshooting a problem with the manufacturer.

Finding Your Manual Online

If your label is worn or illegible, or if you have misplaced your printed manual, you can search for the manual online using your full model number. Visit the Sears or Kenmore website and use their manual search tool, or search your model number in a search engine followed by "manual" or "specifications."

When you find the manual, open the specifications or product information section — this is usually near the front of the document or in a table. The cubic feet capacity will be listed there alongside dimensions, electrical requirements, and other technical details. Many manuals are available as PDF files that you can download and save for future reference.

Why Cubic Feet Matters for Your Refrigerator

Knowing your refrigerator's cubic feet capacity helps you understand how much food storage you actually have and whether it matches your household's needs. A 24-cubic-foot model holds noticeably less than a 28-cubic-foot model, even though the exterior dimensions may look similar — the difference is in how the interior is divided between fresh food and freezer space.

Capacity also matters when you are planning to replace your refrigerator or move to a new kitchen. If you know your current capacity, you can choose a replacement that fits your lifestyle without buying more or less space than you need. It also helps you understand energy consumption — larger refrigerators use more electricity, so capacity is one factor in your utility costs.

Differences Between Kenmore 795 Configurations

Kenmore Model 795 was made in three main styles: French-door (two doors on top, freezer drawer below), side-by-side (freezer on one side, fresh food on the other), and top-freezer (freezer compartment above, fresh food below). Each style divides the total cubic feet differently between freezer and fresh-food sections.

A French-door 795 might have 18 cubic feet of fresh-food space and 6 cubic feet of freezer space, for a total of 24 cubic feet. A side-by-side 795 might split the space more evenly, with roughly 12 cubic feet on each side. A top-freezer 795 might have 20 cubic feet of fresh food and 8 cubic feet of freezer. The total capacity number on your label accounts for both sections combined.

What to Do If You Cannot Find the Label

If the interior label is missing or completely illegible, contact Sears or Kenmore customer service with your serial number. The serial number is also on that same label, and it uniquely identifies your refrigerator. Customer service can look up your model's specifications in their database and tell you the capacity.

You can also try removing the refrigerator from the wall and checking the back panel — some models have a duplicate label there. If you are moving or selling the refrigerator, having the capacity documented is useful, so it is worth spending a few minutes to locate or confirm this information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the cubic feet number the same as the fresh-food space?

No. The cubic feet capacity listed on your label is the total of both the fresh-food compartment and the freezer compartment combined. If you need to know how much space is in each section separately, your manual usually breaks that down in the specifications table.

Can I measure my refrigerator myself to verify the cubic feet?

You can measure the interior dimensions (length, width, and height of the fresh-food section and freezer section separately), then multiply to get cubic inches and divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet. However, this gives you the geometric space, not the usable storage space — shelves, drawers, and door bins take up room, so your actual storage is less than the geometric total.

Does the cubic feet capacity affect how much my refrigerator costs to run?

Larger refrigerators generally use more electricity than smaller ones, but the relationship is not perfectly linear. A 28-cubic-foot model does not use twice as much power as a 14-cubic-foot model. Your manual lists the estimated annual energy consumption in kilowatt-hours, which is a better way to estimate your electricity cost.

What if my label says a different capacity than what I expected?

The label on your refrigerator is the authoritative source. Kenmore sometimes marketed the same exterior model in different configurations or with different interior layouts, so two Model 795 refrigerators can have different capacities. Trust the label on your specific unit.
