Kenmore 10673209300 refrigerator Parts

Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. For Kenmore model 10673209300, the label is typically on an inside wall of the refrigerator compartment; match the full model number exactly before ordering parts or using troubleshooting steps in the 10673209300 owner's manual.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on an interior side wall (most common)
• Near the top front frame area when the refrigerator door is open
• If you do not see it right away, remove items from the top shelf and look along the liner walls

What the label looks like and what to write down

The label usually includes both a model number and a serial number. Record both so we can match the correct Kenmore parts list and diagrams.

What to capture	Example format	Why it matters
Model number	10673209300	Ensures correct parts fit and correct procedures
Serial number	Letters and numbers	Helps identify production variation and revisions
Purchase date (optional)	Month/day/year	Useful for maintenance records and warranty paperwork

Tips to avoid common mix-ups

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (include all digits)
• Do not use the number from a sticker on the outside of the door (that is often not the full model)
• If the label starts with 106, keep reading; the full number is longer than just “106”

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators can look similar across multiple model series, but parts like an ice maker assembly, evaporator fan motor, door gasket, or water tubing can vary by model. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong replacement part.

If you are ordering parts, we recommend using the parts list for model 10673209300 first, then searching by model on Sears PartsDirect if you need additional diagrams or items.

Your Kenmore refrigerator model 10673209300 has its exact cubic-foot capacity listed on the model and serial number label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment; we use that rating label as the most accurate source for capacity and specifications. For additional specs, check the 10673209300 owner's manual.

Where to find the capacity (fastest method)

Look for the model and serial number label on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment. That label typically lists capacity along with electrical and refrigerant information.

• Open the refrigerator door and scan the inside side walls near the crisper area
• Check near the top interior liner or behind bins (depending on layout)
• Write down the full model number and serial number for your records
• Use the capacity value shown on the label as your “official” cubic feet

If the label is missing or unreadable

We use these practical options to confirm capacity for a Kenmore 106-series top-mount refrigerator.

• Review the specifications section in the 10673209300 owner's manual
• Measure interior space and estimate (useful for planning, not “official”)
• Match your model number to the correct parts diagrams and feature set to avoid mix-ups

Quick estimating guide (when you just need a ballpark)

What you measure	What it tells you	Typical note
Fresh food compartment volume	Most of the usable space	Shelves and bins reduce usable space
Freezer compartment volume	Remaining capacity	Ice maker can reduce usable space
Total (fresh food + freezer)	Approximate cubic feet	Label value is the official spec

Why it matters

Cubic-foot capacity helps you choose correctly sized replacement shelves, bins, and accessories, and it also helps when comparing storage space after repairs or upgrades (for example, adding an ice maker kit). If you need parts for this model, order from the parts list for 10673209300 or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

A top-mount refrigerator is a two-door fridge design with the freezer compartment on top and the fresh-food (refrigerator) compartment below. Your Kenmore 10673209300 is a top-mount model; this layout is common because it’s simple, efficient, and easy to service using the owner's manual.

How to identify a top-mount layout

You have a top-mount refrigerator when these features match what you see:

• The freezer door is the upper door
• The refrigerator door is the lower door
• Cooling air is typically produced at the evaporator and circulated to both sections
• Door alignment and leveling are adjusted at the hinges and front leveling screws
• If equipped, the ice maker is usually located in the freezer section

Common top-mount setup details (what we see on this model type)

The Kenmore 10673209300 manual calls out several installation basics that are typical for top-mount refrigerators:

Item	Typical guidance for top-mount refrigerators	Why it matters
Side and top clearance	About 1/2 in. on each side and at the top	Helps ventilation and steady cooling
Clearance near a wall	About 2 in. minimum on the hinge side (varies by setup)	Allows doors to swing open fully
Ice maker space	Extra room behind the unit for the water line	Prevents kinks and leaks
Room temperature	Avoid locations below 55°F	Prevents poor cooling performance

Why it matters

Knowing you have a top-mount refrigerator helps you troubleshoot faster. For example, airflow issues, door seal problems, and ice maker concerns are usually isolated to either the top freezer section or the lower fresh-food section, which narrows down likely causes and parts.

Parts commonly associated with top-mount features

If you are maintaining or repairing common top-mount features, these parts on this model are often involved:

• Ice production: ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943
• Interior light operation: refrigerator light switch W11384469
• Air circulation (cooling performance): evaporator motor WP2315539

You can order replacement parts for Kenmore 10673209300 from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Common problems we see on Kenmore top-mount refrigerators like model 10673209300 include poor cooling from airflow issues, ice maker failures, and sealed-system problems such as a compressor that will not start or run properly. Your 10673209300 owner's manual troubleshooting section helps narrow the cause fast.

Most common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Warm refrigerator or freezer: evaporator fan not running, frost buildup from a defrost issue, blocked vents, or dirty condenser area
• No ice or small cubes: ice maker problem, water supply restriction, or frozen/blocked fill tube
• Door not sealing or moisture/frost: door gasket not sealing, door alignment, or bins/shelves out of position
• Lights not working or door-related issues: door switch problem
• Clicking, humming, then stopping: start/run component issue or compressor problem

Parts that commonly fix these issues on 10673209300

If your symptoms match, these model-compatible parts are common solutions:

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for this model
Warm temps, weak airflow	Evaporator fan system	Evaporator motor WP2315539 or fan blade WP2163777
Frost buildup, warm fridge	Defrost system	Defrost bi-metal WP4387503
No ice	Ice maker assembly	Ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943
Interior light issues	Door/light circuit	Refrigerator light switch W11384469
Clicking or hard starting	Start/run components	Upright freezer run capacitor WPW10662129

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm controls are set correctly and vents are not blocked by food packages.
2. Listen for the evaporator fan in the freezer; no fan noise often means a fan motor or blade issue.
3. Check for heavy frost on the freezer back panel (commonly a defrost problem).
4. Inspect door sealing; the manual notes that out-of-position shelves/bins can affect closing, and cleaning gaskets plus a thin coat of paraffin wax can help sticking.
5. For ice issues, verify the shutoff arm is down (on arm-style ice makers) and the water line is turned on.

Why it matters

Cooling, ice production, and door sealing are connected. A weak evaporator fan or defrost failure reduces airflow, which warms compartments and can also slow ice production. A poor door seal adds moisture, creating frost that makes airflow problems worse.

A bad compressor on your Kenmore 10673209300 usually shows up as poor cooling with the unit running a lot, repeated clicking as it tries to start, or unusual compressor sounds. Before condemning the compressor, we verify airflow, condenser coil cleanliness, and whether the “new” sounds you hear are actually normal (see the owner's manual).

Quick symptoms checklist

• Refrigerator and freezer are warm even though the compressor seems to run often
• Repeated clicking every few minutes (start attempt then shutoff)
• Compressor is very hot to the touch after trying to run (use caution)
• Little to no vibration or sound from the compressor when it should be running
• Frost pattern problems (for example, heavy frost in one area and warm temps elsewhere)

Rule out common look-alikes first (most important)

Many “bad compressor” complaints are caused by airflow or heat-transfer issues.

• Dirty condenser coils: Dirty coils reduce heat transfer and make the system work harder; clean them and recheck temperatures.
• Normal operating sounds: High-efficiency compressors and fans can run longer and sound different (pulsating or high-pitched can be normal).
• Evaporator airflow problems: If the freezer is cold but the fresh-food section is warm, the evaporator fan or airflow path is a more likely cause. The evaporator motor WP2315539 and fan blade WP2163777 are common parts involved.

What a technician tests to confirm a bad compressor

These checks separate a failed compressor from a start-device or control problem.

Test or observation	What it suggests
Compressor hums then clicks off	Hard-start or locked rotor condition; start components also possible
Amp draw is abnormally high at startup	Compressor struggling to start (locked rotor)
Windings fail continuity/short-to-ground checks	Internal compressor electrical failure
Sealed system leak or restriction signs	Cooling failure not fixed by electrical parts alone

Why it matters

Replacing a compressor is one of the highest-cost refrigerator repairs and it is tied to the sealed refrigeration system. Confirming basics like coil cleanliness and airflow first prevents replacing the wrong part.

Parts that may be involved

If testing confirms the compressor itself is the issue for model 10673209300, the replacement part is the refrigerator compressor W10309989. For ordering, we recommend using the parts list for your model first, or searching by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
