Kenmore 10659202990 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Most side-by-side refrigerators are about 21 to 25 cubic feet. For your Kenmore 10659202990, the exact capacity is listed on the product specifications page in the owner's manual.

Side-by-side refrigerator capacity varies mainly by cabinet width and interior layout. Most models fall into these common ranges:

• 21 to 23 cu. ft.: compact to mid-size side-by-side units
• 23 to 25 cu. ft.: most full-size side-by-side units
• 25+ cu. ft.: larger, wider, or higher-capacity designs

We recommend using the model-specific documentation because capacity can change with features like an in-door ice bin, water filtration housing, and shelf configuration.

• Check the specifications section in the owner's manual
• Look for a line labeled total capacity or cubic feet (cu. ft.)
• If you are comparing fit, also note the required clearances (the manual calls out 1/2 inch at the sides and top, and 2 inches near a fixed wall for door swing)

Cubic feet helps you compare storage volume, but it does not guarantee the same usable space. Two 23 cu. ft. side-by-side refrigerators can feel different inside depending on shelf design, ice maker size, and door bin layout.

If you need replacement parts that affect interior space (bins, pans, ice storage), you can order them from the parts list for model 10659202990 or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator dimensions vary by model and style; for your Kenmore 10659202990 side-by-side refrigerator, the exact cabinet width, height, and depth are listed in the 10659202990 owner's manual. If you are comparing to other Kenmore Elite models, use the model number to match the correct spec sheet.

Most full-size side-by-side refrigerators like Kenmore model 10659202990 fall into these common ranges:

• Width: about 32 1/2 to 36 inches
• Height: about 66 to 71 inches (to the top of the hinge)
• Depth: about 30 to 35 inches (deeper with handles)
• Depth with doors open: varies widely; plan extra clearance for swing

Even with the right dimensions, clearances affect fit, door swing, and airflow. The manual for this refrigerator calls out these common spacing needs:

• Leave 1/2 inch of space on each side and at the top for ventilation
• If installed next to a fixed wall, allow at least 2 inches on the hinge side (model-dependent) so the door can swing open
• Leave extra space behind the unit if you have an ice maker and water line connected

Getting the right dimensions prevents door interference, poor air circulation, and installation headaches. It also helps you avoid kinks in the water supply line that can lead to weak water dispensing or ice maker fill problems.

If you remove doors or move the refrigerator to measure, inspect common wear items that affect fit and function, such as the refrigerator door cam (black) WP2182179. You can order model-matched replacement parts from the parts list for 10659202990, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

Most side-by-side refrigerators are about 29 to 35 inches deep (not counting the space you need behind the unit for airflow and, if equipped, water line connections). For exact cabinet depth and required clearances for Kenmore model 10659202990, use the measurements and installation notes in the 10659202990 owner's manual.

• Standard-depth side-by-side: ~29 to 35 in. deep
• Counter-depth side-by-side: ~24 to 25 in. deep (shallower cabinet; doors and handles often still project)
• With doors and handles: add several inches beyond cabinet depth (varies by design)

The manual calls out installation spacing that affects how much total depth your refrigerator needs in the kitchen:

• Allow 1/2 in. space on each side and at the top for ventilation.
• If the refrigerator has an ice maker, leave extra space at the back for water line connections.
• If installed next to a fixed wall, allow 2 in. minimum on the hinge side (depending on model) so the door can swing open.

Use a tape measure and record both numbers so you can compare to your cabinet opening:

• Cabinet depth: back of refrigerator cabinet to the front edge of the cabinet (no doors)
• Overall depth: back of cabinet to the front of the door and handle
• Installed depth: overall depth plus the rear clearance needed for cords, airflow, and water tubing

Depth is what determines whether a side-by-side refrigerator sits flush, blocks a walkway, or pinches the water supply line to the dispenser and ice maker. Planning for ventilation and water line space helps prevent warm temperatures, leaks, and ice maker fill problems.
