Kenmore 10653654300 refrigerator Parts

Your Kenmore refrigerator’s cubic-foot capacity is a model-specific spec; for model 10653654300, the most reliable way to get the exact number is to use the model and serial label inside the fresh food compartment and confirm the listed capacity in the owner's manual.

• Check the model and serial number label on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment; record the full model number and serial number.
• Look in the specifications section of the owner's manual for capacity (often listed as total, refrigerator, and freezer).
• If you are measuring for cabinet fit or replacement planning, also confirm required clearances and door swing space in the manual.

Most full-size side-by-side refrigerators are commonly in the 20 to 26 cubic feet range. A quick estimate can be made by measuring the interior, but it will not match the official rating exactly.

Capacity affects how much food you can store and helps you choose correctly sized replacement items like shelves and bins. It also helps when planning installation space; side-by-side models typically need clearance at the sides and top for ventilation and enough room for the doors to swing open.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10653654300, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label located on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment. Open the fresh food door and look along the interior side wall for the label; it lists both the model and serial number.

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door
• Check the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment
• Look near the upper side walls and around the crisper area
• Find a label that lists Model and Serial together
• Write the model number exactly as shown (for example, 10653654300)

The same label usually contains the key details you need for parts and service.

We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore parts for your exact configuration (shelves, ice maker and water system components, door parts, and defrost system parts). Even small model-number differences can change which parts fit.

• Use the 10653654300 owner’s manual to confirm the label location and record your model and serial number.
• If you’re ordering parts after you find the model number, you can also search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 32 to 36 inches wide; your Kenmore 10653654300 is in that typical range. For the exact cabinet width and required clearances for your specific model, we recommend checking the dimensions section in the owner's manual.

Side-by-side refrigerator widths commonly fall into these buckets:

• 32 to 33 inches: space-saving models
• 35 to 36 inches: most common full-size models
• 42 inches: built-in style (less common)

To avoid ordering the wrong fit or blocking door swing, measure these points:

• Cabinet width: left to right across the main box (not the doors)
• Overall width with doors: can be slightly wider than the cabinet
• Width with doors open: important for tight hallways and adjacent walls
• Depth and hinge clearance: affects whether doors can open fully

Your model’s manual calls out ventilation and door-swing spacing that matters as much as width.

Width alone does not guarantee a good fit. Door swing clearance, ventilation space, and water line routing (if you have an ice maker) determine whether the refrigerator installs cleanly and runs efficiently.

If you are measuring because you are replacing bins, shelves, or water system components, we stock model-matched parts for Kenmore 10653654300 (for example, the refrigerator cantilever shelf WPW10321304 and refrigerator inlet valve W10408179) on the parts list for this model, or you can search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore 10653654300 side-by-side refrigerator, we shut off power and water, remove the ice bin, take out the mounting screws, disconnect the wiring harness, swap in the new ice maker, then restore water and power. Use the 10653654300 owner's manual for safety steps and switch locations.

• Unplug the refrigerator (disconnect power before servicing).
• Shut off the household water supply to the refrigerator.
• Turn the ice maker OFF at the freezer ON/OFF switch.
• Empty the ice bin; melt ice with warm water (do not use anything sharp).
• Keep screws together so nothing drops behind panels.

1. Remove the ice storage bin from the freezer door.
2. Remove the ice maker cover (if equipped).
3. Remove the mounting screws holding the ice maker.
4. Disconnect the ice maker wiring harness connector.
5. Lift the ice maker off the mounting points and remove it.
6. Install the new ice maker in reverse order; reconnect the harness, tighten screws, reinstall the bin.
7. Turn water back on, plug in the refrigerator, then switch the ice maker ON.

• Confirm the ice maker switch is ON.
• Make sure the bin sits level and snaps in securely.
• Verify the water supply valve is fully open and the water line is not kinked.
• If water flow is weak, test the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 (it controls water to the ice maker).

Ice makers depend on steady water flow, a closed-door signal, and correct bin alignment. A small bin seating issue or restricted inlet valve can stop ice production even after a successful replacement.

Yes; replacing the ice maker on your Kenmore 10653654300 side-by-side refrigerator is worth it when the refrigerator is cooling properly and the problem is limited to ice production. Do the basic ice maker checks in the 10653654300 owner's manual first so you do not replace parts unnecessarily.

Before you buy an ice maker, we recommend these fast, high-impact checks:

• After a new hookup or install, allow up to 72 hours for full ice production.
• Confirm the ice maker is ON (wire shutoff arm down or switch set to ON, depending on version).
• Verify the household water shutoff valve to the refrigerator is fully open.
• Clear any jammed cube in the ejector area using a plastic utensil.
• If a water filter is installed, reseat it and replace it if flow is restricted.

Ice makers are a good repair when the freezer temperature is normal and water supply is steady.

If the ice maker is not filling consistently, these parts often solve the root cause:

• Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 (opens to send water to the ice maker)
• Refrigerator water tube 8201597 (can kink, leak, or freeze and restrict flow)

You can order replacement parts from the parts list for model 10653654300, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Low water flow or a failing inlet valve can look like a bad ice maker. Checking water supply and clearing jams first helps restore normal output and prevents repeat failures.
