Kenmore 10656736602 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore model 10656736602, the most accurate way to get cubic feet (total capacity) is to use the model’s specification section in the 10656736602 owner's manual. If you need a quick estimate, you can also calculate capacity from the interior dimensions, but the manual spec is the number to trust.

Fast ways to find your refrigerator’s cubic feet

• Check the specifications/capacity section in the 10656736602 owner's manual.
• Look for the rating plate inside the fresh food section (often on a side wall or ceiling) and note any listed capacity.
• If the label does not list capacity, measure the usable interior space and calculate an estimate.
• If you are comparing filters or dispenser parts, match by model number first, then by part ID.

How to estimate cubic feet (if you want a ballpark)

1. Measure the inside of the refrigerator compartment (width x height x depth) in inches.
2. Measure the inside of the freezer compartment the same way.
3. Convert each compartment to cubic feet and add them.

What to measure	Formula	Convert to cubic feet
Fresh food compartment	W x H x D (inches)	Divide by 1,728
Freezer compartment	W x H x D (inches)	Divide by 1,728
Total capacity (estimate)	Add both results	Total cu. ft.

Why the manual number matters

Interior measurements can be thrown off by shelves, bins, air ducts, and the ice maker housing. The capacity listed in the 10656736602 owner's manual reflects the model’s designed storage volume, which is what you want for comparing refrigerator sizes.

Related parts that often get matched by model

If you are looking up capacity because you are ordering maintenance parts, these are commonly model-matched items for 10656736602:

• Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 (replacement filter listed as part number 9030)
• Refrigerator water filter cap (black) WP2260518B (cap that holds the filter in place)
• Refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965 (ice production and fit depend on the exact model)

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10656736602 are cooling issues, water leaks, ice maker or dispenser failures, and unusual noises. These problems usually trace back to airflow restrictions, a defrost system issue, or a worn water system component; our 10656736602 owner's manual troubleshooting section helps narrow it down fast.

Most common symptoms and what they usually mean

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan problem, or frost buildup from a defrost issue
• Water under the refrigerator: clogged defrost drain, loose water line, or a seeping inlet valve
• No ice or small/hollow cubes: restricted water flow (often a filter), inlet valve issue, or ice maker problem
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged filter, air in the line, or valve problem
• Buzzing, rattling, or clicking: fan blade hitting ice, items vibrating, or normal operating sounds (the manual lists normal sounds)

Quick checks we recommend first (before replacing parts)

1. Confirm controls are set correctly and allow 24 hours for temperature changes.
2. Make sure vents inside both compartments are not blocked (proper air circulation matters).
3. Clean condenser coils and verify the condenser fan area is clear.
4. If you have ice and water, run water for a few minutes to purge air after any water shutoff.
5. Look for frost buildup on the freezer back panel (a strong clue of a defrost problem).

Parts that commonly solve these problems on 10656736602

Symptom	Common fix	Example part for this model
Slow water, bad taste/odor	Replace water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1
No water to dispenser/ice maker	Test/replace inlet valve	Refrigerator water inlet valve W10408179
No ice production	Replace ice maker assembly	Refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965
Frost buildup, warm temps	Check defrost thermostat	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat WPW10225581

Why it matters

Cooling, ice, and leak complaints often share the same root causes: restricted airflow or restricted water flow. Fixing the underlying cause protects food temperatures, prevents repeat clogs, and reduces strain on the compressor.

Kenmore model numbers typically start with a 3-digit prefix that identifies the manufacturer, followed by additional digits that narrow down the base design and specific variations. For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10656736602, the 106 prefix is the key identifier we use to match the correct parts and documentation. See the owner's manual for model identification details and service information.

How to read a Kenmore model number (quick breakdown)

Most Kenmore model numbers follow this pattern:

• First 3 digits: manufacturer prefix (most important for parts lookup)
• Next digits: base model platform (design family)
• Last digits/characters: feature set, color, revision, or production variation

Why the prefix matters for parts

The prefix helps us avoid ordering the wrong part when different manufacturers built similar-looking Kenmore refrigerators.

Common examples you may see:

Prefix	What it usually indicates	Why it helps
106	Whirlpool-built Kenmore refrigeration platform	Parts cross-reference and diagrams match this build
795	LG-built Kenmore platform	Different parts and service procedures
790	Frigidaire-built cooking products (common example)	Different parts system than refrigeration

Where to find the model number on the refrigerator

On most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, the model/serial tag is found in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• Near the crisper drawers
• Around the door frame area
• Occasionally behind the base grille area

Why it matters

Using the full model number (including the prefix) ensures we pull the correct parts list, diagrams, and troubleshooting info for your exact refrigerator. That is especially important for fit-critical items like a water filter, ice maker, or water inlet valve.
