Kenmore 10658032800 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

You can date a Kenmore refrigerator by decoding the serial number on the rating label, not the model number. For Kenmore model 10658032800, the serial number format and the date code location are shown in the 10658032800 owner's manual.

Where to find the serial number

Check the rating label in one of these common spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment
• Behind the crisper drawers
• On the cabinet frame near the door hinge area
• Occasionally on the back of the refrigerator cabinet

How Kenmore serial numbers usually encode the date

Most Kenmore refrigerators use a serial number that includes a manufacturing date code (often letters and numbers). The date code typically identifies:

• Month of manufacture
• Year of manufacture
• A plant or production sequence code

Because Kenmore serial formats vary by supplier and era, we use the exact decoding chart for your model series in the manual.

Quick decode checklist (what to write down)

Before you decode, record these details from the label:

• Full serial number (all letters and numbers)
• Model number: 10658032800
• Any prefix letters at the start of the serial number
• Purchase date (if you still have the receipt)

Serial number vs. purchase date (why they can differ)

Date type	What it means	Best use
Manufacture date	When the refrigerator was built	Determining true age
Purchase date	When it was bought	Warranty and ownership records

Why it matters

Knowing the manufacture date helps us match the right replacement parts and troubleshoot issues more accurately, especially for common wear items like a Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9083 or ice and water components.

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 36 inches wide, and the Kenmore 10658032800 installation instructions call for a 36 inch (91.44 cm) minimum cabinet cut-out width. For exact clearances and placement details for your kitchen, use the measurements and diagrams in the owner's manual.

What “width” should you plan for?

When you measure or plan cabinetry, we recommend thinking in three widths:

• Cabinet opening (cut-out) width: the minimum space the refrigerator needs to fit.
• Refrigerator case width: the actual cabinet-to-cabinet width of the unit.
• Door swing and drawer clearance: extra space so doors open fully and bins or crispers can be removed.

Model 10658032800 width and clearance guidance

Based on the installation guidance for this model:

• Minimum cabinet cut-out width: 36 in (91.44 cm)
• Ventilation clearance: allow 1/2 in (1.25 cm) on each side and at the top
• Next to a fixed wall: leave 2 in (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending on door swing needs)
• If you want full crisper pan removal next to an extended wall: a 54 in (137.16 cm) cabinet opening is recommended

Quick planning table

Planning item	What to use	Typical value for this model
Fit in the opening	Cabinet cut-out width	36 in minimum
Airflow space	Side/top clearance	1/2 in each side and top
Door swing	Clearance by wall	2 in minimum (as needed)
Crisper removal by extended wall	Wider opening	54 in recommended

Why it matters

A refrigerator that “fits” at 36 inches can still be frustrating if the doors cannot swing open or if you cannot remove crispers and shelves for cleaning. Planning for clearance prevents dents, poor airflow, and day-to-day usability issues.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10658032800 are cooling issues, ice maker and water dispenser failures, water leaks, excess frost from defrost problems, and normal or abnormal noises. Many fixes start with airflow, temperature settings, and basic cleaning in the owner's manual.

Common problems and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: blocked air vents, dirty condenser coils, doors not sealing, or an evaporator fan issue.
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply problem, a failed ice maker, or a water inlet valve that is not opening.
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged filter, frozen water tube, or inlet valve problem.
• Water leaking: clogged defrost drain, loose water line connections, or a cracked water tube.
• Too much frost or warm fridge with cold freezer: defrost system trouble (heater, thermostat, or control).
• Noises: some sounds are normal; buzzing can happen when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker.

Quick checks we recommend first

1. Confirm the controls are on and give a new installation 24 hours to cool fully.
2. Make sure vents inside both compartments are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean condenser coils and verify the condenser fan area is not packed with dust.
4. Check door gaskets for gaps and make sure doors close fully.
5. If you have ice and water issues, replace the filter and purge air from the water line.

Parts that commonly solve these symptoms (when replacement is needed)

Symptom	Common part to check	Example part for 10658032800
No ice or small cubes	Ice maker, inlet valve	Refrigerator ice maker 2198597, refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
Slow water flow	Water filter, filter cap	Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9083, refrigerator water filter cap (black) WP2260518B
Heavy frost, warming	Defrost heater, bi-metal thermostat	Refrigerator defrost heater WP2323198, refrigerator bi-metal thermostat WPW10225581

Why it matters

Cooling, ice, and leak symptoms often share the same root causes: restricted airflow, poor heat removal at the condenser, or water system restrictions. Catching those early helps protect food temperatures and prevents puddles and ice buildup.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658032800, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label (the same label that lists the serial number). We use that model number to match the correct parts list, diagrams, and specifications in the owner's manual.

Common places to check first

Look for a paper or foil label in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall (often near the crisper drawers)
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light housing
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall
• Behind the base grille or near the lower front frame (less common)
• On the hinge-side door frame area (open the door and check the frame)

What the label looks like (and what to write down)

The ID label typically includes both a model number and a serial number.

Item on label	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Identifies the exact refrigerator design for parts and diagrams	10658032800
Serial number	Identifies the production unit; helpful for service history	Letters and numbers

Tips to find it faster

• Use a flashlight and check flat surfaces near the crisper area first.
• Wipe dust or condensation off the label so the digits are readable.
• Write the model number exactly as shown (all digits, no spaces).

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers can look similar across different refrigerator builds. Using the exact model number (like 10658032800) prevents ordering the wrong items such as a water filter, ice maker, or inlet valve.
