Kenmore 10652584202 refrigerator Parts

Yes. Your Kenmore 10652584202 side-by-side refrigerator uses a defrost drain pan (often called a drip pan) that catches water during the automatic defrost cycle; that water typically evaporates on its own. See the owner's manual for the exact location and access steps.

What the drip pan does (and what’s normal)

During normal operation, we expect:

• Water to drip into the pan while the refrigerator defrosts
• The water to evaporate over time
• More water to remain in the pan longer when indoor humidity is high

If you notice standing water, it can still be normal right after a defrost cycle.

When the drip pan points to a problem

A drip pan that overflows, smells, or keeps refilling quickly usually means another issue is adding water faster than it can evaporate.

Common causes to check:

• Defrost drain partially clogged (water backs up and spills)
• Doors not sealing well (extra frost leads to extra defrost water)
• Ice or water dispenser dripping (air in lines, filter issues)
• Refrigerator not level (water may miss the pan or pool)
• Frequent door openings or warm room conditions (more run time and moisture)

Quick checks you can do safely

• Look for ice buildup on the freezer floor or under the crisper area (often a drain issue).
• Check door gaskets for gaps and wipe them clean.
• If the dispenser drips, flush several glasses of water to help clear air from the lines.
• If water flow is weak, replace the filter with the correct cartridge, such as the refrigerator water filter EDR5RXD1.

Symptoms and likely sources

What you notice	Most likely source	What to do first
Water in pan, no leak	Normal defrost	Wait and recheck after 24 hours
Bad odor near bottom	Dirty pan or spill	Clean pan and surrounding area
Puddle on floor	Drain clog or leak	Inspect drain area and water line
Dispenser dripping	Air in lines or filter	Flush water; check filter seating

Why it matters

The drip pan is part of normal defrost operation, but changes in water amount, odor, or overflow help us pinpoint drain, door seal, or water supply problems before they cause floor leaks or ice buildup.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10652584202, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label located on the inside wall of the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment. Use the full model number from that label when ordering parts or looking up service information in the owner's manual.

Where to look (fast checklist)

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door
• Look along the inside side wall of the fresh food compartment
• Check near the upper side wall area first (common placement)
• Use a flashlight; the label can be easy to miss against the liner
• Write down both the model number and serial number

What the label typically includes

Most Kenmore refrigerator ID labels include these fields:

Label item	What it’s used for
Model number	Matching the correct parts diagrams and replacement parts
Serial number	Identifying production details for service and support
Purchase date (you record it)	Warranty and service records

Why it matters

We use the exact model number to match your refrigerator to the correct parts list and diagrams. Even small model-number differences can change which items fit, such as a water filter, ice maker assembly, or inlet valve.

Tip for parts shopping

When you have the model number, you can quickly narrow down common replacements for this model, such as the refrigerator water filter EDR5RXD1 or the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179.

If the ice maker on your Kenmore 10652584202 side-by-side refrigerator isn’t making ice, the most common causes are the ice maker being turned off, the freezer not being cold enough yet, or a water supply issue (shutoff valve off, clogged filter, or a weak inlet valve). Check the ice maker on/off setting first.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the ice maker is ON: lower the wire shutoff arm (arm down) or set the switch to ON (left), depending on your ice maker style.
• Make sure the freezer door is fully closed; the dispenser system will not operate with the door open.
• If the ice maker was recently installed or reconnected, allow 24 hours after hook-up for ice production and up to 72 hours for full production.
• Verify the home water shutoff valve to the refrigerator is fully open.
• Check for a jammed cube in the ejector area; remove ice with a plastic utensil.

Water supply problems that stop ice production

A refrigerator can dispense water and still fail to make ice if the ice maker fill circuit is restricted.

• A clogged or incorrectly installed filter can reduce flow to the ice maker.
• A failing inlet valve can open enough for the dispenser but not enough for the ice maker fill.
• A frozen fill tube or ice blockage can prevent the mold from filling.

Parts that commonly fix “no ice” on this model

Symptom	Most likely area	Part to consider
No water entering ice maker mold	Water supply control	Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
Slow fill, small cubes, intermittent ice	Restricted filtration	Refrigerator water filter EDR5RXD1
Ice maker won’t cycle or harvest	Ice maker module/assembly	Ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943

Why it matters

Ice makers are sensitive to temperature and water flow. If the freezer is warm or water flow is restricted, the mold will not fill or the ice will not harvest, so production stops even though the refrigerator otherwise seems normal.

For model-specific control locations and ice maker on/off instructions, use the owner's manual.

Water leaking from the bottom of your Kenmore 10652584202 refrigerator is usually caused by a clogged defrost drain that overflows into the fresh food section and runs onto the floor, or by a water supply or dispenser leak (often related to the filter, tubing, or inlet valve). See the owner's manual for model-specific checks.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Look for water under the freezer area after a defrost cycle; some water in the drain pan is normal, but overflow is not.
• Check the water filter seating and flush the system; trapped air can cause dispenser dripping for 24 to 72 hours.
• Inspect the water line behind the refrigerator for kinks or rubbing.
• Check the shutoff valve and supply connection for slow seepage.
• Look inside the freezer for frost buildup that can indicate a defrost drain ice clog.

Most common causes and what to do

What you notice	Most likely cause	What to do next
Puddle appears periodically, often after defrost	Defrost drain clogged or frozen	Clear the drain opening and flush with hot water; confirm the drain pan is positioned correctly
Water drips from dispenser area	Air in lines or filter issue	Re-seat/replace the filter and flush 2 to 3 gallons of water
Leak happens only when ice maker or dispenser runs	Water inlet valve not sealing	Test for dripping at the valve outlet; replace if it seeps using the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
Water under crisper area	Drain backup or internal tubing leak	Check for water trails from the rear wall down to the bottom

Why it matters

A defrost drain backup can refreeze into a larger ice blockage, reduce airflow, and lead to warmer temperatures. A slow water supply leak can damage flooring and can also cause ice maker and dispenser performance problems.

Parts that commonly solve bottom-leak problems

• Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 if the valve seeps or does not close fully
• Refrigerator water filter EDR5RXD1 if flow is restricted or the filter is leaking at the housing
• Refrigerator water filter housing WP2186443 if the filter connection area is cracked or won’t seal
