How many cubic feet is my Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore model 10658133700, the exact cubic-foot capacity is listed on the model’s rating information and in the specifications section of the owner's manual. If you do not have that label handy, most full-size Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are typically 22 to 26 cu. ft. total capacity.
Use these quick checks (no measuring required):
- Check the model and serial tag inside the fresh food section (often on a side wall or ceiling area).
- Look for a capacity value in cu. ft. on the tag or nearby rating information.
- Confirm the capacity in the specifications/features pages of the owner's manual.
- If the tag is hard to read, take a clear photo and zoom in; capacity is often printed in small text.
- Use the model number 10658133700 when matching specs to avoid mixing similar Kenmore 106-series units.
Measuring the cabinet and doing the math usually does not match the advertised capacity because shelves, insulation, and internal liners reduce usable space. If you still want an estimate, measure the interior (not the outside):
- Fresh food compartment: width x height x depth (in inches)
- Freezer compartment: width x height x depth (in inches)
- Add both volumes, then divide by 1,728 (cubic inches per cubic foot)
| What you measure | Formula | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Interior volume (in³) | W x H x D | Measure inside walls |
| Capacity (ft³) | in³ ÷ 1,728 | Add fridge + freezer |
Knowing the correct cubic-foot capacity helps us match the right door bins, shelves, crisper pans, and water filter style for your exact refrigerator configuration, especially within the Kenmore 106 model family.

Where is the model number on a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658133700, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. Open the refrigerator door and look along the interior walls near the top or around the crisper area; the label typically lists both the model and serial number. For the exact label location and illustrations, use the 10658133700 owner's manual.
We recommend checking these common label locations in this order:
- Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left or right interior wall
- Near the ceiling of the fresh food compartment (just inside the door opening)
- On the side wall near the crisper drawers
- Along the door frame (hinge side) when the refrigerator door is open
- Behind the toe grille (kick plate) area if you do not see it inside
The identification label usually includes both numbers, plus electrical ratings.
| Item on label | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts and diagrams | 10658133700 |
| Serial number | Identifying production run | Letters and numbers |
Using the correct model number helps us match the right Kenmore refrigerator parts for your exact configuration (water filter, ice maker, water inlet valve, shelves, and door hardware). Even small model differences can change which part fits.
Once you find the model number, match parts by model first, then confirm by part ID when available. Common examples for this model include the refrigerator water inlet valve W10408179 and the refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965.

How to clean the coils on a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
To clean the coils on your Kenmore 10658133700 side-by-side refrigerator, we unplug the refrigerator, remove the base grille (if your coils are underneath), then gently brush and vacuum dust from the condenser coil area so airflow stays strong and cooling performance stays consistent.
- Unplug the refrigerator (or disconnect power at the breaker).
- Pull the refrigerator straight out enough to work safely.
- Locate the condenser coil area:
- Many side-by-side models have coils behind the base grille at the front.
- Some have coils on the back of the cabinet.
- Use a coil brush to loosen lint and dust; work in the direction of the fins.
- Vacuum debris as you brush (a crevice tool helps around the compressor area).
- Reinstall the base grille (if removed), then restore power.
Use tools that remove dust without damaging coil fins or wiring.
| Item | Recommended? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Coil cleaning brush | Yes | Reaches between tight coil spaces |
| Vacuum with crevice tool | Yes | Removes loosened dust and pet hair |
| Soft cloth | Yes | Wipes surrounding surfaces |
| Water spray / hose | No | Can wet electrical parts and cause corrosion |
| Abrasive cleaners | No | Can damage finishes and plastics |
- Every 6 months in most homes
- Every 3 months if you have pets, heavy dust, or the refrigerator is in a high-traffic kitchen
Dirty condenser coils make the compressor run longer to shed heat. That can lead to warmer temperatures, slower ice production, and higher energy use. Keeping the coil area clean helps your Kenmore refrigerator cool efficiently and can reduce strain on sealed-system components.
For model-specific cabinet access points, grille removal, and safety notes, follow the cleaning and care guidance in the owner's manual.

How to replace an ice maker in a side by side refrigerator?
To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore 10658133700 side-by-side refrigerator, we disconnect power, remove the ice bin and mounting screws, swap the wiring harness to the new assembly, then restore power and water. Follow the exact access and fastener locations in the owner's manual.
- Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before servicing.
- Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator if you will move the unit.
- Empty the ice container so you can access the ice maker area.
- Protect floors and shelves; parts and screws can drop.
- Do not force the ice maker wire shutoff arm up or down.
- Shut off power: Unplug the refrigerator (the manual calls out disconnecting power before servicing).
- Remove the ice bin: Pull out the ice container to expose the ice maker.
- Turn the ice maker off: Raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up) position.
- Remove the ice maker: Take out the mounting screws, then lift the ice maker off its mounting points.
- Disconnect the harness: Unplug the ice maker wiring connector.
- Install the new ice maker: Mount the replacement, reconnect the harness, and tighten screws.
- Turn it back on: Lower the wire shutoff arm to ON (down).
- Restore power and test: Plug in the refrigerator; allow time for the first harvest cycle.
- Confirm the wire shutoff arm is down (ON).
- Verify the household shutoff valve is fully open.
- Check for a kinked or pinched water line behind the refrigerator.
- If water flow is weak, the inlet valve can be the cause; see refrigerator water inlet valve W10408179.
| Item | Typical expectation |
|---|---|
| First batch of ice | Often takes several hours |
| Full bin | Commonly 24 to 48 hours |
| Cube quality | Improves after a few cycles |
A correctly mounted ice maker with a secure wiring connection and proper water supply prevents intermittent ice production, leaking at the fill tube, and nuisance shutoffs from a mispositioned wire shutoff arm.

What are the most common problems with Kenmore refrigerators?
The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10658133700 are cooling problems, water leaks, ice maker or dispenser failures, and unusual noises. These usually trace back to airflow restrictions, defrost system trouble, worn door seals, or a failing water supply component; our owner's manual troubleshooting section helps narrow it down fast.
- Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan problems, blocked vents, or defrost ice buildup
- Water leaking or puddles: clogged defrost drain, cracked water line, or a leaking valve
- Ice maker not making ice: low water pressure, frozen fill tube, bad ice maker module, or a valve issue
- Water dispenser problems: recently changed filter needing a flush, air in the line, or a weak inlet valve
- Noises (buzzing, clicking, rattling): fan blade hitting ice, items vibrating, or compressor start components struggling
- Confirm airflow: keep vents clear and avoid overpacking; the manual calls out “ensuring proper air circulation.”
- Listen for fans: the evaporator fan should run when cooling is needed; scraping sounds often mean ice contact.
- Check door sealing: look for gaps, torn gasket areas, or doors that do not self-close.
- For water and ice: after a filter change, flush the system; the manual notes this step when water flow or taste seems off.
- Verify water source: connect to a cold water pipe; dispenser water is only chilled to about 50°F (10°C), which is normal.
| Problem area | What you might notice | Part that often applies on 10658133700 |
|---|---|---|
| Water filtration | Slow flow, bad taste after change | Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 |
| Water supply to ice/water | No ice, weak dispenser flow | Refrigerator water inlet valve W10408179 |
| Ice production | Ice maker dead or inconsistent | Refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965 |
| Defrost protection | Frost buildup, warm fridge | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 |
| Door closing/alignment | Door not closing smoothly | Refrigerator door cam (black) WP2182179 |
Cooling, ice, and water issues often cascade: poor airflow or a defrost problem can cause ice buildup that blocks vents, warms the fresh food section, and can even create leaks. Fixing the root cause first prevents repeat failures and wasted food.
