On Kenmore model 10654512300 side-by-side refrigerators, the model and serial label is typically inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on an interior wall. We use that full model number to match the correct parts list, diagrams, and service information.

Check these common locations on a side-by-side refrigerator:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on an interior side wall (most common)
• On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the light housing
• Inside the door area near the hinge side (less common)
• Behind the base grille or kick plate at the bottom front (some installations)
• On the inside wall of the freezer compartment (occasionally)

For the exact label location and what each field means, use the 10654512300 owner's manual.

The label usually includes multiple fields. Here is what to record:

Before you shop for items like an ice maker, water inlet valve, thermostat, or door gasket, we recommend:

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (include all digits)
• Take a clear photo of the label for reference
• Use the model number to cross-check the part description and diagram location
• If you are replacing a water system part, confirm whether your unit has a filter housing installed

Most Kenmore refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life; with consistent maintenance, many units reach 15 to 20 years. For your Kenmore 10654512300 side-by-side refrigerator, following the care and cleaning guidance in the owner's manual helps maximize lifespan.

Lifespan depends most on usage, airflow around the cabinet, and how quickly small issues (like a weak door seal or icing) are corrected.

We see the biggest lifespan gains from simple, repeatable upkeep.

• Clean condenser coils and keep airflow clear behind and under the refrigerator.
• Keep door gaskets clean so doors seal and close easily.
• Set stable temperatures (avoid “max cold” unless needed temporarily).
• Replace failed cooling or defrost parts promptly to prevent compressor overwork.
• Keep the ice maker and water system maintained to prevent leaks and clogs.

If performance drops, these are common wear items that can restore normal operation when they fail.

• Defrost protection: refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 and refrigerator heater WP2323198
• Water and ice supply: refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 and ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943
• Temperature control: refrigerator thermostat WP2198202

A refrigerator that is running warm, frosting up, or leaking often forces the compressor to run longer and hotter. Fixing airflow, sealing, and defrost issues early reduces strain on the sealed refrigeration system and extends overall life.

Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10654512300 has its exact cubic-foot capacity listed on the model and serial number label inside the fresh food compartment, and it is also typically shown in the specifications section of the owner's manual. Use the rating label first because it matches your exact configuration.

We recommend checking these locations in order:

• Model and serial number label on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment (most accurate)
• Specifications section in the owner's manual
• Product record page in the manual (helps confirm you are reading the correct model)
• If the label is hard to read, take a clear photo and zoom in to find the capacity line

Cubic feet is the total interior storage volume (refrigerator plus freezer). It helps when you are:

• Comparing replacement refrigerators
• Planning kitchen fit and airflow clearances
• Choosing storage accessories (bins, shelves, drawers)
• Troubleshooting temperature swings caused by overpacking or blocked vents

Many Kenmore 106 series side-by-side refrigerators fall into a common capacity range. Use this as a quick reference while you confirm the exact number on your label/manual.

Capacity is only one part of the full spec picture. We also suggest confirming:

• Recommended ventilation clearance around the cabinet (important for cooling performance)
• Whether your unit is equipped with an ice maker and needs extra rear clearance for the water line
• Shelf and bin configuration (helps when ordering replacement storage parts)

Once you confirm the exact model and configuration from the label/manual, you can order replacement parts from the parts list for 10654512300 on this page, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10654512300, the correct water filter is identified in the filter section of the 10654512300 owner's manual. This model uses a base-grille style water filter cartridge; match the cartridge style and part number listed for your exact model.

• Confirm the model number 10654512300 on the rating label inside the refrigerator compartment.
• Check whether your filter is a base grille filter (below the freezer door); this is the style described for this model.
• Use the manual’s “Changing the water filter cartridge” section to confirm Style 1 vs. Style 2 mounting.
• Replace the filter when the status light turns red or when water flow drops noticeably.
• If your unit has no status light, replace the cartridge every 6 to 9 months (typical use).

The manual explains that the water filter status light changes from green to yellow when most of the filter life is used, and you should replace the cartridge when it turns red or flow decreases. After replacing the cartridge, reset the indicator by pressing the light switch 5 times within 10 seconds.

Using the correct cartridge for the 10654512300 filter housing keeps water flow steady to the dispenser and ice maker, helps maintain taste and odor performance, and prevents nuisance issues like slow fill or hollow ice.

If you also have dispenser or ice maker performance issues after a filter change, we use the same model-based parts list to troubleshoot common causes such as the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 or the refrigerator water filter housing WP2186443. You can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect if you are comparing filter-related parts and diagrams.
