Kenmore 10673003511 refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore refrigerator model 10673003511, the safest way to choose the correct filter is to match the filter to your exact model number, not just the refrigerator style. For this model, the listed compatible water filter is Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9081; confirm the replacement details in the 10673003511 owner's manual.

Quick ways to confirm the right filter

• Match the refrigerator model number exactly: 10673003511
• Check the filter label on the current cartridge (part number and shape)
• Compare the mounting style (twist-in vs push-in) and location (grille, ceiling, or rear wall)
• If you use reverse osmosis, expect lower flow; a clogged filter makes it worse
• Replace on schedule to protect the water inlet valve and ice maker performance

Filter options shown for this model

Filter type	What it helps with	Model 10673003511 part to use
Water filter	Improves taste, reduces contaminants, supports ice maker and dispenser flow	Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9081
Air filter	Reduces food odors in the fresh food compartment	Refrigerator air filter W10311524

Why it matters

Using the correct water filter for 10673003511 helps maintain normal dispenser flow and ice production. The manual also notes that reverse osmosis systems can reduce pressure, and adding a refrigerator water filter can reduce it further, so keeping the correct filter fresh prevents weak flow and slow ice making.

Helpful tip for replacement

For Kenmore refrigerator model 10673003511, the most reliable way to get cubic feet is to look up the capacity in the specifications section of the Use & Care Guide or on the refrigerator’s rating plate inside the cabinet. Model numbers alone do not consistently encode capacity.

Fast ways to find the capacity (best to least)

• Check the rating plate (usually inside the fresh food section on a side wall or ceiling area).
• Look up the model specs in the 10673003511 owner’s manual.
• If you still need confirmation, measure the interior and calculate an estimate (useful for rough planning).

How to estimate cubic feet by measuring (quick DIY)

1. Measure usable interior dimensions (in inches): width × height × depth.
2. Multiply to get cubic inches.
3. Convert to cubic feet: divide by 1,728.

• Measure shelf-to-shelf usable space, not the outer cabinet.
• Subtract obvious non-usable areas (air channels, light housings, ice maker bucket space).
• Expect your estimate to be lower than the advertised capacity because manufacturers rate total interior volume.

What “model number lookup” can and cannot do

Method	What you get	Accuracy for cubic feet
Rating plate	Exact model identifiers and electrical data; sometimes capacity	High when capacity is listed
Owner’s manual specs	Published capacity and feature set	High
Measuring interior	A practical estimate of usable space	Medium

Why it matters

Cubic feet affects how much food you can store, how replacement shelves/bins fit expectations, and whether accessories like an ice maker or air filter reduce usable space. For this Kenmore model, the manual is the cleanest way to confirm the published capacity.

To identify your Kenmore refrigerator model, we look for the model/serial tag on the cabinet (not on a removable drawer). On Kenmore model 10673003511, the tag is typically inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall or near the ceiling, or behind the base grille/kick plate; match the full number exactly.

Where to find the model number tag

Check these common locations first:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left or right interior wall
• On the ceiling area inside the fresh food compartment
• On the door frame (open the door and look around the perimeter)
• Behind the base grille (grasp the grille and pull it toward you to remove it)
• On the back exterior panel near the bottom

If you see a number that starts with 106. on the label, write down all digits that follow it as well.

What to write down (and why)

The label usually includes both a model number and a serial number. We use them differently:

Item on the tag	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Correct parts list, diagrams, and compatibility	10673003511 or 106.4673…
Serial number	Production date and some service lookups	Letters and numbers

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators often share similar styling across multiple model families. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong water filter, ice maker assembly, door gasket, or electronic control.

Quick next steps after you find it

• Enter the full model number exactly as shown (include all digits)
• Use the parts diagrams to confirm the part location before ordering
• For model-specific identification details and label examples, check the 10673003511 owner’s manual

Kenmore refrigerator model 10673003511 does not use one universal “reset” button for everything; most resets are done by power-cycling the refrigerator or by resetting a specific feature (like the air filter status) from the control panel. Use the steps in the 10673003511 owner's manual to match the reset to the symptom.

Quick reset options (most common)

• Hard reset (power-cycle): Unplug the refrigerator, wait 5 seconds, plug it back in, then wait 30 seconds before opening doors or touching the controls.
• Door-related resets: Close all doors and drawers fully; some functions reset after doors are closed.
• Feature reset (air filter): After replacing the air filter, press and hold AIR FILTER for 3 seconds to reset the indicator.
• Cooling Off or Showroom mode: If cooling is off, exit that mode using the control panel settings.

Which “reset” should I use?

What you’re trying to fix	Best reset to try first	What to look for after
Control panel seems unresponsive	Unplug 5 seconds, plug in; wait 30 seconds	Controls respond normally
Air filter light says replace	Hold AIR FILTER 3 seconds	Icon returns to normal status
Door open alarm keeps sounding	Close doors completely; press any button to mute temporarily	Alarm stops; icon clears when doors shut
Not cooling after settings changes	Verify cooling is on; allow time	Stable temps after several hours

Why it matters

Different “reset” actions clear different conditions. A power-cycle reinitializes the electronic controls, while a button-hold reset only clears a specific reminder (like the air filter status) and does not fix cooling or ice maker issues.

If you’re resetting because of water or ice problems

A reset can help after a filter change, but ongoing issues usually point to a clogged filter or a water supply/valve problem. If you’re replacing the filter for this model, use the Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9081 and follow the steps in how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator.

A Kenmore refrigerator typically lasts 10 to 15 years. With steady care on your Kenmore model 10673003511 (good airflow, clean coils, tight door seals, and on-time filter changes), it’s common to reach the high end of that range.

What affects lifespan the most

• Condenser coil cleanliness (dust buildup makes the compressor work harder)
• Door seal condition and alignment (warm air leaks increase run time)
• Airflow inside the cabinet (overpacking blocks vents and stresses cooling)
• Power interruptions and surges (can stress electronic controls)
• Routine consumables (water filter, air filter) replaced on schedule

Maintenance schedule we recommend

Use your 10673003511 owner’s manual for model-specific care steps and locations.

Task	How often	Why it matters
Clean condenser area	Every 6 to 12 months	Reduces compressor load and heat buildup
Check door gaskets for gaps/tears	Every 3 to 6 months	Prevents moisture, frost, and long run times
Replace refrigerator air filter	About every 6 months	Helps reduce odors and keeps airflow fresher
Replace water filter	About every 6 months (or when flow drops)	Protects ice maker and improves taste

Parts that commonly drive “end of life” decisions

If cooling becomes inconsistent or the unit runs constantly, these are frequent culprits on refrigerators like the 10673003511:

• Sealed system wear (compressor, refrigerant system)
• Evaporator fan issues (warm fridge, cold freezer, or noise)
• Defrost problems (frost buildup, poor airflow)
• Water system leaks or low ice production (valves, filters, lines)

Model-matched examples you can use for routine upkeep:

• Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9081
• Refrigerator air filter W10311524

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer and harder than it should (dirty coils, leaky gaskets, clogged filters) ages faster. Keeping temperatures stable and airflow clear helps protect major components like the compressor and ice maker.
