Kenmore 10658022801 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

On a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator like model 10658022801, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label (the same label that lists the serial number). Use the label to match parts and confirm the correct manual for your exact unit; see the 10658022801 owner's manual.

Common places to check

We typically see the model and serial label in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall near the top
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light housing
• Behind the crisper drawers on an interior wall
• On the hinge-side door jamb area (fresh food door)
• On the back exterior panel (less common, but possible)

What the label looks like (and what to write down)

The label usually includes both a model number and a serial number. Write down both exactly as shown.

Item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Ensures you get the correct parts diagrams and replacement parts	10658022801
Serial number	Helps identify production details when variations exist	Letters and numbers

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators can have similar-looking doors, shelves, ice makers, and water filter housings across multiple models. Using the exact model number helps us match the right parts the first time, such as the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 or the refrigerator ice maker 2198597.

Quick tip before ordering parts

• Confirm the model number from the label, not from the front badge
• Match the full model number character-for-character
• Use the model number to cross-check diagrams and part descriptions

To find the size of your Kenmore 10658022801 refrigerator, we use the cabinet dimensions (height, width, depth) for fit, and we use cubic feet (volume) for storage capacity. The most accurate dimensions and capacity for your exact model are listed in the owner's manual.

What “size” means (dimensions vs. capacity)

Most customers mean one of these:

• Overall dimensions: helps you confirm the refrigerator fits your kitchen opening
• Cabinet opening needed: includes clearance for ventilation and door swing
• Storage capacity (cubic feet): how much food it holds

Quick comparison

Measurement	What it tells you	How it’s used
Height, width, depth	Physical size	Fit through doorways, cabinet cutout
Clearances	Space around unit	Ventilation, door swing
Cubic feet	Interior volume	Comparing “how big” it feels inside

How to measure the outside dimensions (fit)

1. Measure width across the front (door closed).
2. Measure height from floor to top hinge cover (or top of cabinet).
3. Measure depth from the back to the front (note handles can add depth).

Clearances that matter for this model type

Our Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators typically need:

• 1/2 inch of space on each side and at the top for ventilation
• At least 2 inches on the hinge side(s) when next to a fixed wall so doors can swing open
• Extra space behind the unit if you have an ice maker, for the water line connection

(These clearances are called out in the owner's manual.)

How to estimate storage capacity (cubic feet)

If you want a rough capacity estimate:

• Measure the interior (not the outside) of the fresh food and freezer compartments
• Multiply height x width x depth (in inches) for each compartment
• Add the two totals together
• Divide by 1,728 to convert cubic inches to cubic feet

Why it matters

Using the right “size” prevents installation headaches (tight cabinet openings, doors that will not swing fully) and helps you compare capacity realistically when replacing a refrigerator.

The SY EF code on a Kenmore refrigerator indicates a problem with the evaporator fan circuit, most often the evaporator fan motor not running or feedback from the fan not being detected. On model 10658022801, this typically shows up with warm temperatures, weak airflow, or unusual noise from the freezer area.

What to check first (quick troubleshooting)

• Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then restore power and watch for the fan to start.
• Listen for the evaporator fan: With the freezer door switch held closed, you should usually hear the fan running.
• Look for heavy frost on the freezer back wall: Frost buildup can block airflow and stop the fan.
• Check vents and loading: Make sure packages are not blocking freezer air vents.
• Inspect the door switch: A failed switch can keep the fan off when the control thinks the door is open.

For model-specific component locations and access steps, use the owner's manual.

Common causes and likely fixes

Likely cause	What you may notice	Typical fix
Failed evaporator fan motor	No airflow, freezer warms, SY EF returns	Replace the fan motor (and blade if damaged)
Ice buildup from a defrost problem	Frost blanket on rear panel, airflow weak	Diagnose defrost system; heater/thermostat are common suspects
Wiring/connector issue	Intermittent error, fan works sometimes	Reseat connectors; repair damaged harness
Control issue	Fan and wiring test good but error persists	Further diagnosis of electronic control circuit

If you determine the fan motor is not running and has power, the refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549 is a common replacement for this model.

Why it matters

The evaporator fan moves cold air through both compartments. When it stops, temperatures rise, food can spoil, and the compressor may run longer than normal. Fixing the airflow issue quickly helps protect the sealed system and improves cooling performance.

If your Kenmore 10658022801 side-by-side refrigerator ice maker isn’t making ice, the most common causes are the ice maker being switched OFF, a closed water shutoff valve, a kinked water line, or a freezer temperature issue. Start with the on/off switch and water supply checks in the owner's manual.

Quick checks that fix most “no ice” problems

• Confirm the ice maker switch is ON (top right side of the freezer compartment).
• Make sure the household water shutoff valve is fully open.
• Inspect the water supply line for kinks or pinches; straighten as needed.
• If this is a new install or the ice maker was just turned on, wait 24 hours for first ice and up to 72 hours for full production.
• If the ice bin is full, the optical sensor can stop production automatically; empty some ice and try again.
• Look for a cube jammed in the ejector area; clear it carefully.

Water supply and filtration issues

Low water flow can stop ice production or cause small cubes.

• If the dispenser flow is weak, the ice maker usually struggles too.
• Replace an overdue filter and flush the system; a clogged filter restricts flow.
• If you recently replaced the filter, discard the first three batches of ice to clear impurities.

Common related parts for this model

Symptom	What it often points to	Example part for Kenmore 10658022801
No ice and no water at dispenser	Water supply shutoff closed, kinked line, or valve issue	Refrigerator water inlet valve W10408179
Slow fill, small cubes, odd taste	Restricted filter or air in lines after service	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1

Cooling and defrost problems that can stop ice

If the freezer is too warm, the ice maker will not cycle. If airflow is blocked by frost, ice production can drop.

• Check for heavy frost on the freezer back wall (possible defrost issue).
• Listen for the evaporator fan; if it is not running, cold air will not circulate well.

If you suspect airflow problems, we recommend following the troubleshooting steps in how to fix your evaporator cooling fan.

Why it matters

An ice maker depends on two things: cold enough freezer temperatures and steady water flow. Fixing the root cause prevents repeat clogs, weak cubes, and dispenser issues.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658022801, the water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer compartment door. You remove it from the front by pressing the eject button and pulling the filter straight out by the cap (no grille removal needed). See the owner's manual.

How to find it quickly

• Go to the front bottom of the refrigerator
• Look at the base grille area under the freezer door
• Find the filter cap and eject button
• Press the eject button, then pull straight out on the cap
• Expect a small amount of water to spill from the old filter

What to do when you remove the filter

The cap is part of the refrigerator and must be reused.

• Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it from the old filter
• Keep the cap and install it on the new filter
• Push the new filter in until it fully seats and the eject button pops out
• Pull gently on the cap to confirm it is locked in place

Item	What it does	Common mistake to avoid
Eject button	Releases the filter from the housing	Pulling without pressing the button
Filter cap	Gives you a grip and locks to the cartridge	Twisting the cap while pulling the filter out
Base grille opening	Access point for the filter	Trying to remove the grille first

Why it matters

Knowing the exact filter location helps prevent cracked caps, damaged O-rings, and leaks. Pulling the cartridge straight out (instead of twisting) also makes filter changes faster and cleaner.

Helpful parts and guidance

• If you need the replacement cartridge used for this model, use genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.
