How many cubic feet is my Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658587891 has a specific cubic-foot capacity listed in its product specifications; the most reliable place to confirm it is the model and serial number label location and the specifications section in the 10658587891 owner's manual.
Fast ways to find the cubic-foot capacity
Use these options in order; they give the quickest, most accurate result for this model series:
- Check the specifications section in the 10658587891 owner's manual.
- Look for the model and serial number label inside the fresh food section (the manual shows it on the side wall in the Parts and Features section).
- If you are measuring instead of looking it up, measure the usable interior (not the outside cabinet) and calculate cubic feet.
- If shelves or bins were changed, base your estimate on the main compartment dimensions, not removable storage.
How to calculate cubic feet (if you want an estimate)
If you cannot locate the spec, you can estimate capacity from interior measurements:
- Measure interior width x height x depth (in inches) of the refrigerator compartment.
- Do the same for the freezer compartment.
- Add the two volumes and divide by 1,728 (cubic inches per cubic foot).
| What you measure | Use this tip | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Interior width | Measure wall-to-wall | Avoids counting door bins |
| Interior height | Measure floor to ceiling | Captures full liner space |
| Interior depth | Measure to the back wall | Excludes door thickness |
Why it matters
Knowing cubic feet helps us match the right parts and accessories for your 10658587891, and it also helps with food-storage planning and airflow. For example, ice and water components like the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 depend on proper water supply and space behind the unit for the water line.

What are the most common problems with Kenmore refrigerators?
The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10658587891 are poor cooling, ice maker or water dispenser issues, water leaks, and unusual noises. These are usually caused by airflow restrictions (dirty condenser coils), door sealing problems, or a failing defrost or water-supply component; use the owner's manual troubleshooting sections to narrow it down.
Most common symptoms and what usually causes them
- Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan airflow problems, defrost system icing up, or control settings not matched to room conditions.
- Ice maker not making ice: freezer not cold enough, ice maker shutoff arm in OFF position, or water supply valve turned off.
- Water leaking or puddles: clogged defrost drain, cracked water tubing, or a leaking inlet valve.
- Doors not closing or frost buildup: door gaskets not sealing, bins/shelves blocking closure, or door alignment issues.
- Noises (buzzing, clicking, humming): normal operating sounds, fan blade interference, or the compressor/condenser fan area needing inspection.
Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)
- Confirm the doors close fully and the gaskets seal all the way around.
- Clean the condenser coils (dirty coils make the compressor run longer and cool worse).
- Verify temperature controls are set correctly; allow 24 hours after changes for temperatures to stabilize.
- If the ice maker is the issue, confirm the shutoff arm is down (ON) and the household water valve is open.
- Listen for the evaporator fan; if airflow is weak, inspect for ice buildup on the freezer back panel.
Parts that commonly solve these problems on 10658587891
| Problem area | Common fix | Example part on this model |
|---|---|---|
| Ice maker not producing ice | Replace ice maker assembly | Ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943 |
| No water to ice maker/dispenser | Replace water inlet valve | Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 |
| Frost buildup, warm fridge section | Check defrost heater/bi-metal | Refrigerator heater WP2323198 and refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 |
Why it matters
Cooling, ice, and leak complaints often share the same root causes: restricted airflow, poor door sealing, or water supply/defrost faults. Fixing the underlying cause prevents food spoilage, repeat icing, and water damage.

What causes a side-by-side refrigerator to stop cooling?
On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658587891, a no-cool condition is usually caused by blocked airflow between compartments, temperature controls set too warm, doors not sealing, or a failure in the evaporator fan, defrost system, or compressor. Use the checks in the 10658587891 owner's manual to pinpoint the cause.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Confirm the unit has power and the interior lights turn on.
- Set controls colder; allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize.
- Clear packages away from the air vents (blocked vents stop cold-air circulation).
- Make sure both doors close fully and the gaskets seal all the way around.
- Listen for airflow from the evaporator fan and for the compressor running.
Most common causes and what you will notice
| Likely cause | Typical symptom | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Blocked air vents | Freezer colder than fridge, weak airflow | Clear vents; reorganize food for circulation |
| Controls set too warm | Both sections gradually warm | Adjust settings; recheck temps later |
| Door not sealing | Moisture, frost, long run times | Inspect gasket contact; level unit if needed |
| Evaporator fan problem | Little to no airflow, warming fridge | Inspect fan area; replace damaged refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142 |
| Defrost system failure | Frost on back freezer panel, reduced airflow | Check defrost components such as refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 and refrigerator heater WP2323198 |
| Compressor/sealed system issue | Warm temps despite long run time | Professional diagnosis; compressor replacement may be needed |
Why it matters
This model depends on steady airflow from the freezer to the fresh-food section. When vents are blocked or frost builds up from a defrost problem, cold air cannot move properly, so temperatures rise.
When to stop troubleshooting
- You smell burning or see sparking.
- The compressor clicks repeatedly and will not start.
- Heavy frost returns quickly after clearing vents.
