Where to find model number on Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
On your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10656924600, the model number is printed on the model and serial tag, typically located inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment around the door opening. Use the tag’s model number to match the correct parts list and diagrams.
Common places to check first
- Open the fresh food door and look along the cabinet frame near the hinges
- Check the inside edge of the fresh food door (near the gasket)
- Look on the side wall just inside the fresh food compartment
- If you do not see it, remove items from the top shelf and re-check the upper door frame area
What the tag looks like and what to copy
The tag usually includes both a model number and a serial number.
| Item on tag | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Finding exact replacement parts and diagrams | 10656924600 |
| Serial number | Identifying production date range for some parts | Letters and numbers |
Why it matters
Kenmore model numbers can be very similar, and even one digit difference can change which water filter, ice maker, door gasket, or inlet valve fits. Using the exact model number helps ensure you get compatible parts and correct installation details.
Helpful next step
Once you find the model number, keep it handy and use the exploded-view diagrams and specifications in the owner's manual to confirm part locations and component names before ordering.

How to tell cubic feet of Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore model 10656924600, the model number alone usually does not directly state the exact cubic-foot capacity. The most reliable way is to look up the capacity in the product specifications section of the owner's manual, or estimate it by measuring the usable interior space and converting cubic inches to cubic feet.
Fast ways to get the cubic feet
1) Check the manual specs (best option)
Capacity is typically listed as “capacity” or “total volume” in the specifications section of the owner's manual. This gives the correct total for the refrigerator and freezer sections.
2) Estimate capacity by measuring interior space
If you need a quick estimate, measure the inside of each compartment (refrigerator side and freezer side), then convert.
- Measure height, width, depth in inches for the refrigerator compartment
- Repeat for the freezer compartment
- Multiply each compartment’s measurements to get cubic inches
- Add them together
- Convert to cubic feet: divide by 1,728
Calculation you can use
| What you measure | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator compartment | H × W × D (inches) | cubic inches |
| Freezer compartment | H × W × D (inches) | cubic inches |
| Total capacity | (Fridge + Freezer) ÷ 1,728 | cubic feet |
Tips to make the estimate more accurate
- Measure usable space (don’t include door bins, air ducts, or thick interior walls)
- Measure to the front edge of shelves, not to the back wall if there’s a fan cover
- Expect your estimate to be lower than the published capacity because manufacturers calculate volume differently
- If you recently rearranged shelves and bins, put them back in their normal positions before measuring
Why it matters
Cubic feet helps you compare refrigerator sizes, plan food storage, and choose compatible accessories (like the correct water filter style and replacement bins) for your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator.

Why is there water leaking from the bottom in my Kenmore refrigerator?
Water leaking from the bottom of your Kenmore 10656924600 side-by-side refrigerator is usually caused by a defrost drain that is clogged and overflowing into the drain pan area, or by a water supply leak to the ice maker or dispenser (often at the inlet valve, tubing, or filter connections). See the owner's manual for water system and use-care checks.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Look for a sheet of ice or standing water on the freezer floor (common sign of a blocked defrost drain).
- Check the water filter is fully seated and the cap is snug (a loose connection can drip).
- Inspect the water line behind the refrigerator for kinks, rubbing, or a slow drip.
- Watch for leaking only after using the dispenser or when the ice maker refills.
- Confirm doors close fully and gaskets seal; warm air can increase frost and defrost water.
Most common causes (and what to do)
| Likely cause | Typical clue | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Clogged defrost drain | Water under crisper drawers or freezer floor ice | Clear the drain opening and flush with hot water; clean the drain pan area |
| Leaking water inlet valve | Drip at back lower area, especially during ice maker fill | Test for seepage; replace the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 if it leaks |
| Filter or filter cap not sealed | Drips near filter housing area | Reseat the filter and cap; replace worn cap if cracked |
| Dispenser tubing leak | Water appears after dispensing | Inspect tubing and fittings inside the door and at the hinge area |
Why it matters
A small leak can turn into floor damage, ice buildup in the freezer, and reduced cooling performance. The manual notes that water normally runs into the drain pan during defrost, so leaks typically happen when that water cannot drain correctly or when the water supply system is seeping.
