How to read a Kenmore model number?
Kenmore model numbers are read left to right; the first three digits are the manufacturer prefix, and the remaining digits identify the specific product design and version. For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator, the full model number is 10652584201, and using the complete number ensures you get the right parts and instructions from the 10652584201 owner's manual.
What each part of the model number tells you
Kenmore model numbers typically follow this pattern:
- Prefix (first 3 digits): identifies who built the appliance for Kenmore (for example, 106 is commonly associated with Whirlpool-built Kenmore refrigerators)
- Middle digits: the base design or platform (helps narrow down the correct parts diagrams)
- Last digits: version, color, or engineering revision (can affect which ice maker, valve, or thermostat fits)
Where to find the model number on this refrigerator
On most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, you will find the model/serial tag in one of these spots:
- Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
- Along the door frame near the hinges
- Behind the lower toe grille (on some designs)
- On a label visible when you open the refrigerator door
Why the full model number matters for parts matching
Even small digit differences can change the correct replacement part. Here are examples of parts that often vary by version:
- Ice maker assembly
- Water inlet valve
- Defrost controls (timer, heater, bi-metal)
- Door gasket and door hardware
| What you enter | What can happen | Best practice |
|---|---|---|
| Partial model (example: 1065258) | Too many results; wrong diagrams | Use the full 10652584201 |
| Full model (10652584201) | Correct diagrams and compatible parts | Match the tag exactly |
Quick tip for ordering and searching
When you search for parts, enter the model number exactly as shown on the tag (including any leading zeros). You can order parts from the parts list for model 10652584201, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.
Why it matters
Using the exact Kenmore model number prevents returns and delays, especially for fit-sensitive items like an ice maker, water system parts, and defrost components.

What are the most common problems with Kenmore refrigerators?
The most common Kenmore refrigerator problems are warm temperatures, water leaks, ice maker or dispenser issues, and operating noises that seem unusual. On Kenmore model 10652584201, these symptoms most often relate to airflow, the defrost system, or the water supply and filter; use the 10652584201 owner's manual for model-specific checks.
Most common symptoms and what they point to
- Not cooling or warm fridge/freezer: dirty condenser coils, evaporator airflow problems, or frost buildup from a defrost issue.
- Runs a lot or sounds “different”: high-efficiency compressor and fans can run longer; fan speed changes when doors open.
- Water under the unit: defrost drain issues or normal water in the defrost drain pan during defrost.
- Ice maker not making ice: ice maker switched off, heavy recent use (allow up to 24 hours), or restricted water flow.
- Dispenser drips or leaks: air in lines after filter changes, ice stuck in the chute, or a supply restriction.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Confirm the refrigerator is plugged in and controls are not set to OFF.
- If it seems temporarily off, recheck after about 30 minutes (automatic defrost can affect operation).
- Check the water filter for correct installation and clogging; flush to clear air.
- Inspect the home water line for kinks and verify the shutoff valve is fully open.
- Clear the ice chute and hold the cup under the chute 2 to 3 seconds after dispensing.
Common part-related fixes for 10652584201
| Symptom | Likely system | Example part on this model |
|---|---|---|
| No ice or small cubes | Water supply | Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 |
| Ice maker stops cycling | Ice maker | Ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943 |
| Frost buildup, poor airflow | Defrost system | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 |
Why it matters
Many “different” symptoms share the same root cause: restricted airflow, defrost icing, or low water flow. Fixing the underlying cause helps prevent repeat leaks, ice problems, and unsafe food temperatures.
You can order replacement parts for Kenmore 10652584201 from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

What is the cubic foot of my Kenmore refrigerator model 10652584201?
Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10652584201 has a total capacity of about 21.9 cubic feet. For the exact capacity breakdown (fresh food vs. freezer) and feature details, we recommend confirming in the 10652584201 owner's manual.
What “21.9 cu. ft.” means in everyday use
Capacity is the total interior storage volume of both compartments combined. Actual usable space can feel different depending on shelves, bins, and the ice maker setup.
- Includes refrigerator + freezer space
- Usable space is reduced by ice maker and ice bin
- Shelf and bin layout affects how much you can practically store
- Airflow clearance inside the cabinet also impacts performance
Quick reference: capacity and what to check
| Item | What to expect | Where to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Total capacity | About 21.9 cu. ft. | 10652584201 owner's manual |
| Usable space | Slightly less than total | Shelf/bin configuration |
| Ice storage impact | Takes freezer volume | Ice maker and bin installed |
Why it matters
Knowing the cubic feet helps when you are comparing replacement refrigerators, planning kitchen storage, or troubleshooting temperature issues (overpacking can restrict airflow and cause warm spots).
Related parts that can affect usable space
If your storage layout has changed due to broken bins or ice components, replacing the correct parts restores the original fit and function.
- Ice maker: ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943
- Ice bin: refrigerator ice bin WPW10670845
- Crisper bin: refrigerator crisper pan WP2188656
- Meat pan: refrigerator meat pan WP2188664

Where is the model number on a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10652584201, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label located on the inside wall of the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment. Use that label to record the full model and serial number for parts lookup and service records; see the owner's manual.
Where to look (fast checklist)
- Open the fresh food (refrigerator) door, not the freezer door
- Look along the inside side wall of the refrigerator compartment
- Check near the upper side walls first, then scan downward
- Use a flashlight; the label can be easy to miss in low light
- Write down both the model number and serial number exactly as shown
What you should see on the label
The label typically includes both identifiers. Use this as a quick reference:
| Item on label | What it’s used for | Why you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number (example: 10652584201) | Finding the correct parts diagram and parts list | Ensures parts match your exact Kenmore configuration |
| Serial number | Identifying production details | Helps confirm compatibility for some revisions |
Why it matters
Kenmore refrigerators often have multiple versions that look similar. Using the exact model number from the inside-wall label helps us match the right parts (such as an ice maker assembly, water inlet valve, or thermostat) and avoid ordering the wrong replacement.
