Kenmore 10658432700 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right: the first 3 digits are the manufacturer prefix, the middle digits identify the product series, and the final digits show version or feature variations. For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658432700, the 106 prefix is the key identifier when matching parts and manuals like the 10658432700 owner's manual.

Where to find the model number on a refrigerator

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators list the model and serial on a rating label. Common locations include:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the light
• Behind the crisper drawers
• Along the door frame (hinge side)
• On the back exterior panel (less common)

How to break down a Kenmore model number

Here is the practical way we use Kenmore model numbers to identify the right parts and documentation.

Section of model number	Example from 10658432700	What it tells us	Why it matters
Manufacturer prefix	106	Who built the unit for Kenmore	Helps narrow down compatible parts families
Series / design digits	584327	Platform and configuration details	Helps match assemblies like ice maker or controls
Version / variation digits	00	Revision or feature variation	Helps avoid ordering the wrong revision

Why it matters when ordering parts

Using the full model number prevents mismatches, especially on water and ice components.

• Filters and filter housings can vary by revision
• Ice maker and ice bin styles can differ by series
• Door hardware and gaskets are model-specific
• Control boards and thermostats often have multiple substitutes

If you are shopping for water and ice parts for this model, we commonly see customers match successfully using the full model number plus the exact part ID, such as the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

Quick tips to avoid model-number mistakes

• Use the full model number, not just the first 3 digits
• Copy it exactly (including any trailing zeros)
• Confirm the model number from the appliance label, not a receipt
• Use the manual diagrams and parts lists in the 10658432700 owner's manual when identifying assemblies

Why it matters: Kenmore uses many shared designs across years; the model number is the fastest way to confirm the correct refrigerator parts, diagrams, and troubleshooting info.

If your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658432700 is not cooling and you hear repeated clicking, long run times with little temperature change, or the compressor is unusually hot, the compressor or its start components are likely failing. Use the normal-sound descriptions in the 10658432700 owner's manual to separate expected noises from true compressor symptoms.

Quick symptoms checklist (what we look for first)

• Fridge and freezer both warm even though the unit is running
• Clicking every few minutes (often a start device overload cycling)
• Compressor runs constantly but temperatures do not recover
• Compressor is very hot to the touch after trying to run (use caution)
• No compressor sound or vibration while fans may still run
• Intermittent cooling that gets worse over days or weeks

Normal sounds vs. problem sounds

Your refrigerator can make new noises and still be operating normally. The manual notes that a high-efficiency compressor may run longer and can sound pulsating or high-pitched as it adjusts. Use this comparison to decide what you are hearing.

What you notice	Often normal	More likely a problem
Longer run times	Yes, especially in warm rooms or after door openings	Only if temps never reach setpoint
Pulsating/high-pitched hum	Yes, compressor and fans optimizing	Loud buzzing plus warming temps
Clicking every few minutes	No	Yes, start device or compressor not starting
Both sections warming	No	Yes, sealed system or compressor issue

Checks you can do safely before calling for service

• Confirm controls are on and not set to “off”
• If it is a new installation, allow 24 hours for full cool-down
• Make sure doors close fully; warm air leaks can mimic compressor trouble
• Listen for the evaporator fan running; airflow problems can reduce cooling
• Clean dust from the condenser area (restricted airflow increases run time)

Parts that can mimic a “bad compressor”

A compressor diagnosis often overlaps with other components. If you are troubleshooting cooling, these model-compatible parts are commonly involved:

• Upright freezer run capacitor WPW10662129 (start/run assist component)
• Refrigerator electronic control 4388932 (can affect defrost and run behavior)
• Refrigerator thermostat WP2198202 (temperature control input)

Why it matters

A compressor is part of the sealed refrigeration system; when it cannot start or cannot pump effectively, both compartments typically warm up. Ruling out normal operating sounds and simpler airflow or control issues prevents unnecessary part replacement.

The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10658432700 are cooling problems, water leaks, ice maker or dispenser failures, and unusual noises. These typically trace back to airflow restrictions, defrost-system trouble, water-supply issues, or worn door sealing components; the 10658432700 owner's manual troubleshooting section helps narrow it down.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan problems, defrost failure (ice buildup on the evaporator), or control issues
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged defrost drain, loose water line, or a leaking inlet valve
• Ice maker not making ice: low water pressure, frozen fill tube, failed ice maker module, or inlet valve problems
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged water filter, low supply pressure, or inlet valve restriction
• Noises (buzzing, clicking, rattling): fan blade hitting ice, failing fan motor, or items vibrating against the cabinet

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

1. Confirm temps: 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer.
2. Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean condenser coils and verify the condenser fan runs (if equipped).
4. Check door closing and gasket contact all the way around.
5. For ice and water issues, confirm household water supply meets typical requirements.

Water supply specs to keep in mind

Your refrigerator’s water system is designed around these ranges:

Item	Typical requirement	What you may notice if out of range
Water pressure	30 to 120 psi	Slow fill, small cubes, no ice
Water temperature	33°F to 100°F	Poor flow, taste issues
Service flow rate	0.5 gpm @ 60 psi	Slow dispenser, weak fill

Parts that commonly solve these problems on 10658432700

If basic checks point to a failed component, these model-matched parts are common fixes:

• Water taste or slow flow: replace the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1
• No ice or no water fill: test/replace the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
• Ice maker dead or intermittent: replace the refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965
• Frost buildup and warm temps: inspect the defrost system (heater and bi-metal)

Why it matters

Cooling, ice, and leak complaints often share the same root causes: restricted airflow, frost from a defrost failure, or inadequate water supply. Fixing the underlying cause protects food temperatures, prevents floor damage, and reduces compressor run time.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658432700, a “not cooling” problem is usually caused by a control set to OFF, blocked airflow vents, or a failure in the cooling airflow system (fans) or sealed system (compressor). Start with settings and airflow checks from the 10658432700 owner's manual.

Quick checks we recommend first (no tools)

• Confirm the refrigerator has power (interior lights on, fans running, or compressor sound).
• Make sure the refrigerator control is not set to OFF (this model will not cool in OFF).
• Set both refrigerator and freezer controls to mid-settings, then wait for temperatures to stabilize.
• Check that airflow vents are not blocked by food packages (blocked vents cause temperature and moisture problems).
• Keep doors closed as much as possible for the next few hours.

Most common causes and what they look like

What’s happening	Likely cause	What you’ll notice	What to do next
Both sections warm	Controls set to OFF or too warm	No real cooling, but unit may still run	Set to mid-settings; wait 24 hours
Freezer cold, fridge warm	Airflow restriction or evaporator fan issue	Weak airflow into fresh food section	Clear vents; listen for fan
Fridge and freezer warming over time	Dirty condenser area or condenser fan issue	Longer run times, poor cooling	Clean coils; check fan airflow
No cooling and unusual silence	Compressor/start components issue	No hum, no vibration	Check start device/capacitor; service

Parts that commonly affect cooling on this model

If basic checks do not restore cooling, these model-matched parts are common suspects:

• Refrigerator thermostat WP2198202 (temperature control issues)
• Upright freezer run capacitor WPW10662129 (compressor start/run problems)
• Compressor W10309994 (sealed system cooling failure)

Why it matters

This refrigerator circulates cold air between the freezer and fresh food sections. When vents are blocked or controls are set incorrectly, temperatures rise quickly and food safety becomes a concern. Also, turning controls colder does not cool faster; stable settings and airflow do.

Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658432700 has a total capacity of about 21.9 cubic feet. For the exact capacity listing and configuration details for your specific unit, we recommend confirming in the 10658432700 owner's manual.

How to interpret “cubic feet” on a side-by-side refrigerator

Cubic feet is the total interior storage volume (fresh food section plus freezer). Usable space can feel different depending on shelves, ice bin size, and door bin layout.

Common factors that change how much you can actually store:

• Ice maker and ice bin taking up freezer space
• Shelf and drawer configuration (glass shelves, crisper pans, meat pan)
• Air channels and vents that must stay clear for proper cooling
• Door bins that trade depth for easy access

Quick capacity reference

Capacity (cu. ft.)	What it typically fits well	Best for
18 to 20	Smaller weekly grocery loads	1 to 2 people
21 to 23	Balanced fridge and freezer storage	2 to 4 people
24+	Bulk shopping and larger frozen storage	4+ people

Why it matters

Capacity helps when you are comparing replacement refrigerators, planning kitchen space, or troubleshooting airflow issues (overpacking can block vents and cause warm spots). The manual also covers “ensuring proper air circulation,” which directly affects temperature stability.

Related maintenance that protects capacity and performance

If storage feels tight because of ice buildup or poor cooling, these checks help:

• Keep vents clear in both compartments
• Set controls to recommended mid-range settings first, then fine-tune
• Replace the water filter on schedule to maintain dispenser flow
• Confirm the door seals close fully and do not leak air
• Clean condenser area periodically to support efficient cooling

Most Kenmore refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life; a well-maintained Kenmore 10658432700 side-by-side refrigerator often reaches the upper end of that range when airflow, temperatures, and door sealing are kept in good shape. For model-specific care and settings, follow the 10658432700 owner's manual.

Typical lifespan ranges (what we see most often)

Appliance type	Typical lifespan	What usually ends it first
Side-by-side refrigerator	10 to 15 years	Sealed system wear, compressor start issues, cooling airflow problems
Top-freezer refrigerator	12 to 18 years	Thermostat/control issues, defrost failures
French door refrigerator	10 to 15 years	Ice maker/dispenser wear, control and airflow issues

Maintenance that adds years

These steps reduce compressor run time and prevent common cooling and ice maker problems:

• Keep condenser area clean and unobstructed (dust buildup raises operating temps).
• Confirm doors close fully and gaskets seal all the way around.
• Replace the water filter on schedule to protect water flow and taste.
• Keep freezer vents clear so cold air can circulate to the fresh food section.
• Maintain steady temps (about 0°F freezer, 37°F refrigerator).

Parts that commonly affect longevity

When these parts start failing, the refrigerator may still be worth repairing if caught early:

• Water filtration: a clogged filter can reduce dispenser flow; use the correct genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.
• Water supply components: a weak or leaking valve can cause slow fill or no ice; check the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179.
• Defrost system: frost buildup can restrict airflow; components include the refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 and defrost heater.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs hotter, runs longer, or leaks air at the doors works harder than it should. That extra runtime accelerates wear on the compressor and cooling system, which are the most expensive repairs and the biggest drivers of end-of-life.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658432700, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label. We typically see this label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall or near the top, and it lists both the model and serial number; confirm the exact spot in the 10658432700 owner's manual.

Common places to check first

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

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left or right side wall
• Along the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the control area
• On the frame around the fresh food door opening (hinge-side area)
• Behind the base grille area (less common, but worth a quick check)
• On the back exterior panel (least convenient, but sometimes used)

What the label looks like and what to write down

The ID label is usually a white or silver sticker with multiple lines of text.

What you need	Why it helps	Example format
Model number	Ensures parts fit your exact refrigerator	10658432700
Serial number	Helps match production series and revisions	Letters plus numbers

Tips if you cannot find it right away

• Remove items that block the side walls (bins, tall containers) and re-check.
• Wipe condensation or residue off the wall where labels are commonly placed.
• If the label is damaged, use the model number from your paperwork and verify parts using the diagrams in the 10658432700 owner's manual.

Why it matters

Kenmore 106-series refrigerators often have similar-looking doors, shelves, and ice maker setups, but parts like the water filter, inlet valve, thermostat, and ice maker can vary by model. Using the correct model number prevents ordering the wrong part and avoids repeat repairs.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658432700, the water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer compartment door. You remove it by pressing the eject button and pulling the filter straight out by the cap (no base grille removal needed). See the 10658432700 owner's manual.

How to find and remove the filter

• Open both refrigerator doors so you can access the base grille area.
• Look at the base grille directly under the freezer door.
• Locate the filter cap and the eject button next to it.
• Press the eject button, then pull the filter straight out.
• Expect a small amount of water to spill from the old filter.
• Avoid twisting the cap; twisting can cause the cap to separate from the filter.

What you will see (quick reference)

What you are looking for	Where it is	What it does
Base grille	Bottom front of the refrigerator	Covers the lower access area
Water filter cap	On the end of the filter	Gives you a grip to pull the filter
Eject button	Next to the filter opening	Releases the filter so it slides out

Filter replacement and reset tips

• Use the correct replacement filter for your setup; for this model, a common replacement is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.
• After installing the new filter, run water through the dispenser to clear air and carbon fines.
• If your filter status light is on, reset it by holding the RESET button for about 2 seconds (until the status changes back to “Good”).

Why it matters

A correctly installed base-grille filter helps protect water taste and flow to the dispenser and ice maker. Installing it straight (not twisted) also prevents leaks at the filter cap and housing.
