Kenmore 10672009010 refrigerator Parts

The Kenmore refrigerator model 10672009010 has a total capacity of about 21.9 cubic feet. For the most accurate capacity breakdown (refrigerator vs. freezer) and configuration details, we recommend confirming it in the 10672009010 owner's manual.

What “21.9 cu. ft.” means in everyday use

Capacity is the total interior storage volume across both compartments. Actual usable space can feel different depending on shelf layout, ice maker, and bins.

Common factors that reduce usable space:

• Ice maker and ice bin space in the freezer
• Thick glass shelves and crisper covers
• Door bins and dairy center layout
• Air channels and vents that must stay clear

Quick capacity reference

Capacity range	Typical fit for	Notes
18 to 20 cu. ft.	Smaller households	Less freezer drawer space
21 to 23 cu. ft.	Most families	Balanced fridge and freezer storage
24+ cu. ft.	Large households	Usually wider/taller cabinets

Why it matters

Knowing the cubic feet helps when you are planning kitchen fit, comparing replacement models, or deciding how much food storage you can realistically expect from a bottom-mount refrigerator.

Related parts that can affect storage and performance

If you are troubleshooting cooling or airflow issues that make the refrigerator feel “smaller” (because items freeze in the fresh food section or warm spots develop), these model-matched parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor W11024089 (moves cold air through the compartments)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142 (fan airflow and noise issues)

Your Kenmore model number tells us the exact design series and parts fit for your appliance. On Kenmore refrigerators like model 10672009010, the model tag lists the full model number (and serial number); we use that full number to match the correct refrigerator parts and documentation such as the 10672009010 owner's manual.

Where to find the model number on a Kenmore refrigerator

Most Kenmore refrigerators place the model and serial label where it stays readable but protected. Check these common spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• Along the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the light
• On the frame behind the crisper drawers
• On the door jamb area (open the door and look around the inner frame)
• Sometimes behind the toe grille or on the back panel

How to read the number once you find it

Kenmore model numbers are typically structured in sections. For many Kenmore refrigerators, the first three digits act as a prefix that identifies the manufacturing source, and the remaining digits narrow down the platform and feature set.

• Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer identifier (example: 106)
• Middle digits: refrigerator platform/series
• Ending digits: version, color, or engineering revision

Quick example (what the sections mean)

Example model number	What to look at	What it tells us
10672009010	106	Manufacturer prefix used for many Kenmore refrigerators
10672009010	72009010	Series and configuration details used to match parts

Why it matters when ordering parts

Using the complete model number prevents wrong-part issues, especially for parts that vary by revision.

• Door gaskets and door assemblies can differ by version
• Ice maker and water system parts can change across series
• Electronic control boards must match the exact platform
• Manuals and wiring diagrams are tied to the full model number

If you are troubleshooting ice production or water flow, the model number also helps us match the right ice maker and valve parts, such as the refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q or refrigerator water inlet valve assembly WP12544124 when they apply to your exact configuration.

Pro tip: record both model and serial

The serial number helps identify production date and revision details. The Kenmore documentation recommends recording the complete model number and serial number from the product label for faster service and parts matching.

For Kenmore model 10672009010, the most accurate way to get cubic feet is to look up the capacity in the specifications section of the 10672009010 owner's manual. Model numbers help narrow the correct spec sheet, but they do not reliably encode the exact cubic-foot capacity.

Fast ways to find cubic feet (best to least)

• Check the manual specs for model 10672009010 (capacity is listed with other key specs).
• Read the rating plate inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall or near the crisper area); it lists the model and other identifying data you can match to specs.
• Search by the full model number (all digits) when comparing spec sheets for the 106.7200 and 106.7201 model families.
• Measure and estimate only if you cannot access specs (useful for planning, not for exact capacity).

How to estimate cubic feet (if you need a quick approximation)

If you are planning cabinet space or storage, you can estimate interior volume:

Method	What you do	Accuracy
Manual/spec lookup	Use the published capacity for 10672009010	Highest
Rating plate + spec match	Use the plate info to confirm the exact variant	High
Tape-measure estimate	Measure usable interior space and convert to cubic feet	Medium

Quick math: cubic feet = (interior width in inches × interior height in inches × interior depth in inches) ÷ 1728.

Why it matters

Cubic feet affects real-world storage, shelf and bin fit, and how you compare bottom-mount refrigerators across brands. Using the published spec for Kenmore 10672009010 also helps ensure you order the right accessories and parts.

A top-mount refrigerator has the freezer on top and the fresh-food section below; a bottom-mount refrigerator (like Kenmore model 10672009010) puts the freezer on the bottom so everyday refrigerated items sit closer to eye level. For layout and clearance details, use the 10672009010 owner's manual.

Quick comparison

Feature	Top-mount refrigerator	Bottom-mount refrigerator
Freezer location	Top	Bottom (drawer style on many models)
Fresh-food access	Lower, more bending	Higher, easier daily access
Typical use case	Budget-friendly, simple layout	Convenience-focused for fresh-food use

How to choose between top-mount vs bottom-mount

• Choose bottom-mount if you use the refrigerator section most and want less bending.
• Choose top-mount if you want a simpler layout and often access frozen foods.
• Check door swing and kitchen traffic patterns before deciding.
• Plan for water line space if you have an ice maker.
• Confirm ventilation clearances so the compressor and condenser can cool properly.

Installation and space planning tips (important for bottom-mount)

Our Kenmore 10672009010 manual calls out clearances that help prevent poor cooling and noisy operation:

• Allow about 1/2 inch of space on each side and at the top.
• Allow about 1 inch of space behind the refrigerator.
• Leave extra space behind if you have an ice maker water line connection.
• If installed next to a fixed wall, allow about 3 3/4 inches so the door can swing open.

Why it matters

The “mount” style changes how you use the appliance every day. Bottom-mount designs reduce bending for fresh-food access, while top-mount designs keep frozen items at eye level. Proper clearance and door swing space help either style cool efficiently and fit your kitchen correctly.

Most Kenmore refrigerators last 10 to 15 years. For a Kenmore bottom-mount like model 10672009010, lifespan depends most on basic care (cleaning, airflow, and good door sealing) and fixing cooling or ice maker issues early using the maintenance steps in the 10672009010 owner's manual.

Typical lifespan ranges (what we see most often)

• Average: 10 to 15 years
• Often achievable with good maintenance: 15 to 20 years
• Shortened lifespan is common when: condenser coils stay dirty, door gaskets leak, or the unit runs hot in a tight enclosure

Refrigerator type	Typical lifespan	What usually ends it first
Top freezer	12 to 18 years	Sealed system wear, thermostat/control issues
Bottom-mount (like 10672009010)	10 to 15 years	Fan/defrost problems, door seal leaks, control issues
Side-by-side	10 to 15 years	Ice/water system wear, airflow problems

Maintenance that adds years (and prevents expensive repairs)

We recommend these habits for Kenmore refrigerators:

• Clean condenser coils every 6 to 12 months (more often with pets).
• Keep door gaskets sealing tightly; replace a torn or warped gasket.
• Maintain airflow; do not block vents inside the fresh food section or freezer.
• Replace filters on schedule if your model uses water filtration.
• Defrost and drain care; clear ice buildup and keep the drain path open to prevent leaks.

If you’re chasing warm temperatures or heavy frost, the cooling system parts that commonly affect performance include the evaporator fan motor and defrost heater, such as the refrigerator defrost heater WP12729128 when it matches your symptom and diagnosis.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is struggling to cool runs longer, uses more electricity, and wears out key components faster (compressor, fans, and electronic controls). Simple upkeep often prevents the “runs constantly” cycle that shortens overall life.
