How many cubic feet is my Kenmore refrigerator model 10651339713?
The exact cubic foot capacity for Kenmore model 10651339713 is listed on the model’s rating label and in the specifications section of the 10651339713 owner's manual. For most Kenmore 106.5133* side-by-side refrigerators, capacity is typically in the low-to-mid 20 cubic foot range.
Where to find the exact capacity (fastest options)
- Check the model and serial number label inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall near the crisper area).
- Look for a line that says “Capacity”, “Total volume”, or “cu. ft.”
- Confirm the model format shown in the manual (it covers 106.5133* models).
- If you are comparing similar units, use the same measurement type (total vs. refrigerator-only).
What “cubic feet” means on a refrigerator
Cubic feet is the total interior storage volume (refrigerator plus freezer). It is useful for comparing overall size, but it does not tell you how shelves, bins, and the ice maker reduce usable space.
Typical capacity guidance for this model family
Because this is a Kenmore side-by-side in the 106.5133* family, most units land in a similar capacity band.
| Refrigerator style | Typical total capacity range | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Side-by-side (like 10651339713) | ~22 to 26 cu. ft. | Narrow door swing, easy freezer access |
| Top freezer | ~14 to 21 cu. ft. | Value and simplicity |
| French door | ~20 to 29 cu. ft. | Wide shelves and fresh food space |
Why it matters
Knowing the exact cubic feet helps when you are planning a kitchen fit, estimating food storage, and comparing replacement options. It also helps you match accessories and storage parts correctly when ordering from the parts list for this model or searching by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

How wide is a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator?
For Kenmore model 10651339713, the installation cutout width is 36 inches. In most kitchens, that means you should plan on a refrigerator that fits a standard 36-inch-wide opening, plus the side clearances listed in the owner's manual.
What “width” should you use for planning?
Refrigerator width can mean a few different things. For this Kenmore side-by-side, the manual gives the key planning dimension: the cabinet cutout width.
- Cabinet opening (cutout) width: 36 in (standard opening)
- Side and top ventilation clearance: 1/2 in on each side and at the top
- Rear clearance: 2 in behind the refrigerator
- Door swing clearance near a wall: 2 in minimum on each side (varies by layout)
Quick sizing table
| Measurement you’re planning for | What to use for model 10651339713 | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum cabinet cutout width | 36 in | Primary “how wide” planning number |
| Recommended opening if against an extended wall (for crisper removal) | 54 in | Adds room to pull crispers out |
| Side clearance for ventilation | 1/2 in each side | Helps airflow and cooling |
Why it matters
Using the 36-inch cutout width (and the required clearances) helps prevent poor airflow, warm temperatures, and door-swing issues. It also reduces the chance you will have trouble removing bins and crisper pans later.
Related parts that affect fit and door closing
If the refrigerator seems “too wide” in practice, it is often a door swing or sealing issue rather than cabinet width. These parts are commonly involved:
- Gasket, door (beige) 2159075 (torn or warped gasket can prevent full closing)
- Refrigerator door switch W11396033 (door not fully closing can affect lights and temps)
- Refrigerator door bin W11174793 (mis-seated bins can interfere with door closure)

What is the code Sy Ef on a Kenmore refrigerator?
On Kenmore model 10651339713, the SY EF code points to a problem in the evaporator (freezer) cooling system, most often the evaporator fan circuit or feedback. When the freezer cannot move air across the evaporator properly, temperatures drift and the control reports SY EF.
What to check first (fast, no parts)
- Power reset: unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then restore power.
- Make sure the freezer vents are not blocked by food packages.
- Listen for the evaporator fan: it should run when the compressor is running and the freezer door switch is pressed.
- Check for heavy frost on the rear freezer panel (a defrost problem can stop airflow).
- Confirm doors are closing fully; a poor seal can cause frost buildup and airflow issues.
Common causes and the parts that usually fix them
If SY EF returns after a reset, these are the most common repair paths:
| Symptom you notice | Most likely cause | Part that often applies for 10651339713 |
|---|---|---|
| No fan sound, warm freezer | Failed evaporator fan motor | Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549 |
| Fan runs but airflow is weak or noisy | Damaged fan blade | Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142 |
| Heavy frost, airflow fades over days | Defrost system issue | Refrigerator heater WP2323198 |
Why it matters
The evaporator fan is what distributes cold air from the evaporator through the freezer and into the fresh food section. When airflow drops, you can get warm temperatures, soft ice, and recurring frost, even if the compressor is still running.
Where to find model-specific troubleshooting steps
We recommend following the diagnostic and safety guidance in the owner's manual for Kenmore 10651339713, especially before removing panels or testing electrical components.
If you need to purchase replacement parts, order them from the parts list for model 10651339713, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
