Kenmore 10658524700 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 32 to 36 inches wide; the exact cabinet width varies by model and configuration. For your Kenmore 10658524700, use the dimensions section in the owner's manual to confirm the precise width before measuring your opening.

What to measure (so you get the right fit)

Measure in inches, and measure in at least two spots (front and back) because walls and cabinets are often not perfectly square.

• Opening width: inside edge to inside edge of the cabinet cutout
• Refrigerator cabinet width: the box itself (not the doors)
• Door swing clearance: extra space needed so doors open fully
• Ventilation clearance: space around the refrigerator for airflow
• Back clearance: room for the water line if you have an ice maker

Clearance guidelines we use for this model type

Your Kenmore 10658524700 installation guidance calls for airflow space around the refrigerator and extra room near walls for door swing.

Area	Typical minimum clearance	Why it matters
Each side and top	1/2 inch	Helps ventilation and cooling efficiency
Next to a fixed wall	2 inches (minimum)	Helps the door swing open without binding
Back (with ice maker)	Extra space as needed	Prevents kinking the water line

Quick sizing rule of thumb

If your opening is 36 inches wide, most standard-width side-by-sides fit, but you still need to confirm:

• Exact model width (cabinet)
• Hinge and door clearance (especially beside a wall)
• Water line routing (if connected)

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is even 1/2 inch too wide can rub cabinets, restrict door swing, and reduce ventilation. That can lead to warmer temperatures, higher energy use, and more wear on the compressor and fans.

You can also order model-matched replacement parts (like the refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1) from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Most Kenmore refrigerators last 10 to 15 years. For a Kenmore side-by-side like model 10658524700, lifespan depends most on basic upkeep (airflow, clean coils, good door seals) and fixing cooling or water system issues early; see the 10658524700 owner's manual for model-specific care and operating guidance.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

A refrigerator’s life is usually determined by how hard the sealed system and fans have to work day to day.

• Condenser coil cleanliness: dusty coils raise compressor run time and heat.
• Door gasket condition: air leaks cause longer run times and frost issues.
• Stable temperatures: frequent warm-ups stress the compressor and defrost system.
• Water and ice system health: slow fills and leaks can create repeat problems.
• Vent clearance and loading: blocked vents reduce airflow and cooling efficiency.

Quick maintenance checklist (best payoff)

• Vacuum and brush dust from the condenser area on a regular schedule.
• Keep door gaskets clean; confirm the doors close and seal evenly.
• Set consistent temps and avoid frequent, long door openings.
• Replace the water filter on schedule; use the correct filter such as genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.
• If you see leaks or weak dispenser flow, inspect the water supply and consider the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 if diagnostics point to a failing valve.

What “normal” looks like by age

Refrigerator age	What we typically see	What to do
0 to 5 years	Minor adjustments, filter changes	Keep coils clean; replace filters
6 to 10 years	Ice maker, valve, thermostat, fan wear	Address symptoms early; avoid overheating
11 to 15 years	Higher chance of cooling and defrost issues	Weigh repair cost vs. remaining life
16+ years	Major component failures become more common	Plan for replacement if repairs stack up

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs hotter, leaks air, or has restricted airflow can shorten compressor life and increase energy use. Simple maintenance often adds years by reducing run time and preventing frost and temperature swings.

For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator, the model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label; on model 10658524700, it’s typically found inside the fresh food compartment along the side wall near the crisper drawers or on the door frame. Use the full model number when ordering parts.

Where to look on a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator

Check these common rating-label locations first:

• Inside the refrigerator section on the left or right side wall
• On the door frame (the vertical frame the door seals against)
• Near the crisper drawers (side wall just above or beside them)
• Behind the toe grille or lower front kickplate (less common)
• On the back exterior panel (less common)

If you need a visual reference for label locations and what the numbers mean, use our how to find your appliance model number (and what it means for parts).

What to write down (so parts match)

Record the information exactly as shown on the label:

• Model number (example: 10658524700)
• Serial number (helps confirm production run)
• Any type or code numbers listed (sometimes used for revisions)

Quick checklist

Item	Why it matters
Model number	Ensures diagrams and parts lists match your exact refrigerator
Serial number	Helps confirm the correct version when parts changed over time
Complete digits	Prevents ordering a similar-looking but incorrect part

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers can look similar across different side-by-side refrigerators; using the exact model number helps us match the correct parts and diagrams, whether you’re replacing a water filter, ice maker, or inlet valve.

For model-specific documentation and diagrams, refer to the owner's manual.
