What are the dimensions of a Kenmore refrigerator model 10672153110?
For Kenmore top-mount refrigerator model 10672153110, the cabinet measures about 66 3/4 in. high (with hinge), 65 7/9 in. high (without hinge), 33 7/9 in. deep (with handle), and 32 1/8 in. deep (without handle). Use the 10672153110 owner's manual to confirm clearance needs for your exact installation.
- Height (with hinge): 66 3/4 in.
- Height (without hinge): 65 7/9 in.
- Depth (with handle): 33 7/9 in.
- Depth (without handle): 32 1/8 in.
- Plan extra space for door swing and airflow behind the cabinet.
Even with correct cabinet dimensions, most top-mount refrigerators need a little extra room to run efficiently and open comfortably.
- Leave space so the doors open fully without hitting walls or cabinets
- Keep the back from being pushed tight against the wall (helps airflow at the condenser area)
- Confirm the water line routing if your unit has an ice maker or water supply
- Measure the narrowest point on your path (doorways, turns, stairs)
- If you are replacing a door seal, a good seal helps the unit maintain temperature and reduces run time
| Measurement point | Dimension |
|---|---|
| Height without hinge | 65 7/9 in. |
| Height with hinge | 66 3/4 in. |
| Depth without handle | 32 1/8 in. |
| Depth with handle | 33 7/9 in. |
Accurate refrigerator dimensions help prevent delivery surprises, ensure proper ventilation for the compressor, and reduce issues like warm temperatures or excessive run time caused by restricted airflow.

What is a top mount refrigerator?
A top-mount refrigerator is a classic refrigerator layout where the freezer compartment is on top and the fresh-food (refrigerator) compartment is below. Your Kenmore 10672153110 is a top-mount style, designed for straightforward storage, easy freezer access, and reliable everyday cooling.
In a top-mount refrigerator, cold air is produced at the evaporator and circulated to keep both sections cold, with the freezer on top typically running colder than the fresh-food section.
Common features you will see in many top-mount models:
- Freezer door on top, refrigerator door below
- Separate temperature controls (or a shared control that balances both sections)
- Evaporator fan moving air through vents between compartments
- Defrost system to prevent frost buildup on the evaporator
Top-mount refrigerators are popular because they balance capacity, simplicity, and cost.
| Benefit | What it means day to day |
|---|---|
| Simple design | Fewer complex features to maintain |
| Good freezer access | Frozen foods are at eye level for many users |
| Efficient use of space | Strong storage capacity for the footprint |
| Often lower repair cost | Common parts and straightforward service access |
If cooling performance ever drops, these are common systems we check first on a top-mount refrigerator like the Kenmore 10672153110:
- Evaporator fan system (moves cold air): refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315539
- Defrost system (prevents ice blockage): defrost heater, defrost thermostat (bi-metal), and timer/control
- Sealed system components (compressor, condenser, drier)
Knowing the refrigerator style helps you troubleshoot correctly. For example, warm refrigerator temperatures with a cold freezer often point to an airflow or defrost issue, not a door gasket problem.
For model-specific operating details (controls, airflow vents, cleaning, and normal sounds), use the 10672153110 owner's manual.

What is the upper part of a fridge called?
On a Kenmore top-mount refrigerator like model 10672153110, the upper section is typically called the freezer compartment (or simply the freezer). It is the colder compartment designed to keep foods frozen and often houses the ice maker and airflow components.
- Freezer compartment: the standard name for the upper section on a top-mount refrigerator
- Freezer section: another common term used in manuals and parts diagrams
- Freezer liner: the interior “box” walls of the freezer
- Freezer door: the upper door that seals the freezer opening
- Freezer evaporator area: where the cooling coil and fan move cold air
Many Kenmore top-mount designs place key cooling and ice-making parts in or behind the freezer area, such as:
- Ice maker assembly (if equipped)
- Evaporator fan and fan blade (circulates cold air)
- Defrost heater and defrost thermostat (bi-metal)
- Air ducts/damper passages that send cold air down to the fresh food section
| Function | Example part for model 10672153110 | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Makes ice | Refrigerator ice maker 4317943 | Ice production and harvest |
| Moves cold air | Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315539 | Freezer cooling and refrigerator cooling |
| Defrost protection | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WP627985 | Frost control and temperature regulation |
Knowing the correct name helps you match symptoms to the right area. For example, “freezer cold but fridge warm” often points to airflow issues (evaporator fan, frost buildup, or blocked vents) rather than a problem in the fresh food compartment.
We recommend checking the diagrams and terminology in the 10672153110 owner's manual, especially if your unit has optional features like an automatic ice maker.
