Kenmore 36350622000 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 36350622000, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label. We typically find that label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, on a side wall or near the top area around the temperature controls; confirm the exact spot in the 36350622000 owner's manual.

Common places to check first

Look in these spots with the doors open and a flashlight:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on the left or right interior wall
• Along the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the temperature control housing
• On the frame around the fresh food door opening (hinge side)
• Behind the base grille area (less common, but worth a quick look)
• On the back exterior panel near the power cord (last resort)

What the label looks like

The ID label is usually a small white or silver sticker or plate that lists both MODEL and SERIAL.

You need	What to look for on the label	Example format
Model number	“MODEL” followed by numbers	36350622000
Serial number	“SERIAL” followed by letters and numbers	Varies by unit

Tips to read it quickly

• Wipe condensation or smudges off the label with a dry cloth.
• Take a photo and zoom in; faded printing is easier to read on your phone.
• Write the model number exactly as shown (all digits, no spaces).

Why it matters

We use the exact model number to match the correct Kenmore parts diagrams and ensure you get the right replacement parts (for example, the correct water filter style, door hardware, or ice maker components) for your specific refrigerator.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 36350622000 are poor cooling, water leaks, ice maker or dispenser issues, and unusual noises. Many of these start with airflow restrictions (dirty condenser coils or iced-up evaporator area) or water system restrictions (a clogged filter).

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan not running, defrost system problem (frost buildup)
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged defrost drain, loose water line connections, door not sealing well
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply off, air in the water line, clogged filter, freezer temperature too warm
• Water dispenser slow: filter overdue, air trapped after a filter change
• Noises (buzzing, rattling, clicking): fan blade hitting ice, fan motor wear, items vibrating on the cabinet

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts guessing)

1. Confirm temperatures: freezer near 0°F, fresh food near 37°F.
2. Clean condenser coils: the manual recommends cleaning the condenser coils at least once a year.
3. Check door closing and seals: make sure doors close fully and nothing blocks them.
4. Check water supply: shutoff valve fully open; tubing not kinked.
5. If water flow is slow: replace the filter and purge air by dispensing water for a couple of minutes.

Water filter and water system issues (very common)

On model 36350622000, the manual notes the filter cartridge is in the upper right corner of the fresh food compartment and should be replaced about every 6 months, or sooner if water flow drops. Use the steps in the 36350622000 owner's manual. If you need the replacement, use the refrigerator water filter MWFP.

Symptom	Most likely cause	Best first action
Slow water at dispenser	Clogged filter	Replace filter; flush lines
Ice maker stopped	Water supply off or restricted	Check valve; replace filter
Frost buildup, warm fridge	Defrost system issue	Inspect for heavy frost; service defrost parts

Why it matters

Cooling, ice maker, and leak complaints often share the same root causes: restricted airflow (coils, fans, frost) or restricted water flow (filter, valve, air in line). Fixing the basic restriction first prevents repeat failures and food temperature swings.

Kenmore model numbers (including refrigerator model 36350622000) start with a 3-digit prefix that identifies the original manufacturer; the remaining digits narrow down the base design and the exact feature or production variation. Use the full model number to match the correct parts list and diagrams.

What each section of a Kenmore model number means

Most Kenmore model numbers follow this pattern:

• First 3 digits (prefix): manufacturer code (who built it for Kenmore)
• Next group of digits: the base platform or series (the core design)
• Last digits: version details such as color, feature package, or production change

For exact placement and labeling on your refrigerator, use the 36350622000 owner's manual.

Where to find the model number on a side-by-side refrigerator

Common locations for Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators include:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• Near the crisper drawer area
• On the ceiling of the fresh food section near controls
• On a label behind the toe grille (lower front)
• On the cabinet frame near the door hinge area

Why the prefix matters for parts

The prefix helps us avoid ordering the wrong style of part when Kenmore sold similar-looking refrigerators made by different manufacturers.

What you have	What to use when ordering parts	Why it matters
A partial model number	The full model number (all digits)	Prevents mismatched parts
A Kenmore prefix only	Prefix plus the remaining digits	Identifies the correct design family
A serial number only	Model number plus serial (best)	Helps confirm production variation

Quick tip before you order

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (include all digits)
• Match parts by model number first, then confirm with the part description
• If you are ordering water system parts, confirm the filter style shown in the manual; this model uses the Kenmore filtration system cartridge referenced as _9905 (our listed replacement is refrigerator water filter MWFP).

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers are the key to getting the right refrigerator water filter, door hinge, defrost timer, or evaporator fan motor the first time, especially when multiple versions were produced.

To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore 36350622000 side-by-side refrigerator, we shut off power and the water supply, swap the ice maker assembly and harness, then restart it with the feeler arm in the ON (down) position. The ice maker starts making ice after the freezer reaches 15°F (-9°C) or colder.

Before you start (safety and setup)

• Unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker).
• Turn off the water at the shutoff valve.
• Pull the refrigerator straight out to avoid floor damage; do not roll over the power cord or water line.
• Empty the ice storage bin so it is lighter to handle.
• Keep the feeler arm in STOP (up) until water is connected and turned on.

Replacement steps (typical side-by-side procedure)

1. Remove the ice storage bin (lift the left corner to free it, then pull straight out while supporting front and back).
2. Remove the ice maker mounting screws and gently lower the ice maker.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness plug.
4. Install the new ice maker, reconnect the harness, and tighten mounting screws.
5. Reinstall the ice storage bin; if it will not seat fully, rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn and try again.
6. Turn water back on and check all connections for leaks; recheck after 24 hours.
7. Plug the refrigerator back in.

Start-up and what to expect

• Set the feeler arm to ON (down).
• The ice maker will not run until it reaches 15°F (-9°C) or below.
• The first start can “double-cycle” and splash a little water into the bin; that is normal.
• Discard the first few batches of ice.

Quick checklist

Item to verify	What “good” looks like	If not
Freezer temp	0°F to 5°F typical	Improve airflow, check door seal, confirm controls
Water supply	Valve fully open, no kinks	Straighten line, confirm shutoff valve
Bin seating	Bin locks into shelf slot	Turn drive 1/4 turn, reinstall
Feeler arm	ON (down)	Move from STOP (up) to ON

Why it matters

A correct install prevents leaks behind the refrigerator and ensures the ice maker can cycle once the freezer is cold enough; it also helps avoid clumped ice that can jam the dispenser.

For model-specific diagrams, screw locations, and bin alignment details, follow the 36350622000 owner's manual.

Most Kenmore refrigerators, including model 36350622000, last 12 to 15 years with normal household use. Keeping the condenser area clean, maintaining good airflow around the cabinet, and fixing cooling or ice maker issues early helps you reach the full expected service life (and often beyond).

Typical lifespan and what to expect

Refrigerator longevity depends most on compressor run time, heat removal, and door seal condition.

• Average lifespan: 12 to 15 years
• Common “mid-life” repairs: ice maker and water system parts, door hardware, defrost components
• End-of-life symptoms: warm temperatures, loud compressor, repeated defrost failures, sealed system issues

Maintenance that extends life

Use these habits to reduce wear on the sealed refrigeration system and fans.

• Vacuum dust from the condenser area and grille regularly
• Keep at least a few inches of clearance for ventilation (sides and back)
• Set stable temperatures (about 37°F fresh food, 0°F freezer)
• Keep doors closing tightly; clean and condition door gaskets
• Replace the water filter on schedule if your unit is equipped

Water filter schedule (model-specific)

Your manual notes the Kenmore filtration cartridge should be replaced about every 6 months, or sooner if dispenser flow drops. See the 36350622000 owner's manual for the cartridge location and replacement steps.

Item	Typical interval	Replace sooner if…
Refrigerator water filter	6 months	Water flow slows, ice maker output drops

If you need the correct filter, match by model and use the exact part listing, such as the refrigerator water filter MWFP.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs hotter or has restricted airflow forces the compressor and evaporator fan to run longer. That extra run time is the biggest driver of premature failure in side-by-side refrigerators.

You can find the model number for your Kenmore refrigerator on the model and serial tag, which is typically inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall or ceiling area, or on a label behind the lower crisper drawers. For model 36350622000, the exact label location is shown in the 36350622000 owner's manual.

Common places to check on a side-by-side refrigerator

Look in these spots first (use a flashlight and check both compartments):

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on the side wall near the crisper drawers
• Behind or just above the lower crisper drawers (on the liner wall)
• On the ceiling area of the fresh food compartment near the temperature controls
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall
• Behind the base grille or toe kick area (front bottom)

What the model tag looks like and what to write down

The tag usually lists model number and serial number. We recommend recording both.

Item on the tag	Why it matters	Example format
Model number	Ensures you get the correct Kenmore parts diagrams and parts	36350622000
Serial number	Helps match production changes and revisions	Letters and numbers

Why it matters

The model number is the fastest way to match your refrigerator to the correct parts list and diagrams (water filter, door hinge, evaporator fan motor, ice dispenser parts). It also helps you use the right procedures and feature locations from the manual.

Related tip for this model

If you are already inside the fresh food compartment, you may also see the water filter housing near the upper right area below the temperature controls. When it is time to replace it, the refrigerator water filter MWFP is a common match for this model family.

The Kenmore 36350622000 is a full-size side-by-side refrigerator, but the exact cubic-foot capacity and exterior dimensions vary by configuration and are listed in the product specifications section of the 36350622000 owner's manual. For installation planning, we use the manual’s required clearances as the baseline.

Installation space you should plan for

Even without the exact cabinet dimensions, the manual gives the clearances needed for proper airflow and hookups:

• Sides: 5/8 inch (16 mm)
• Top: 1 inch (25 mm)
• Back: 1 inch (25 mm)
• If built-in: allow 7/8 inch (22 mm) at the top for hinge covers
• If against a wall: allow extra space so doors can open fully (varies by size class)

Quick clearance reference

Location	Minimum clearance
Sides	5/8 in (16 mm)
Top	1 in (25 mm)
Back	1 in (25 mm)

How to confirm the exact “size” you mean

Customers use “size” in a few different ways. Here is what to check:

• Capacity (cu. ft.): look for “Capacity” or “Total volume” in the specs
• Overall dimensions: width, height (with hinge), and depth (with handles)
• Door swing clearance: needed if the refrigerator sits next to a wall or cabinet
• Water line space: needed if you have an ice maker or water dispenser

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents poor cooling and fit issues. The right clearances help the Kenmore 36350622000 maintain stable temperatures, allow the doors to close properly, and leave room for water and electrical connections.
