For Kenmore Elite model 10658703803, the exact cubic-foot capacity is listed on the model’s rating label and in the 10658703803 owner's manual. Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators in this series are commonly in the mid-20 cu. ft. range, but we use the model-specific label/manual as the final word.

How to find the capacity on the refrigerator

Check these common locations for the rating label (it often lists capacity in cubic feet):

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• Along the ceiling of the fresh food compartment
• Behind the crisper drawers
• On the inside edge of the freezer compartment
• On the cabinet frame near the door hinge area

Quick capacity check (what to look for)

On the label or in the specs section of the manual, look for wording such as:

• “Total capacity”
• “Refrigerator capacity” and “Freezer capacity”
• “Cu. ft.” or “cubic feet”

Spec label term	What it means
Total capacity	Combined refrigerator + freezer space
Refrigerator capacity	Fresh food section only
Freezer capacity	Freezer section only

Why it matters

Capacity helps you compare replacements, plan kitchen fit, and choose the right maintenance parts (like a refrigerator water filter) without guessing.

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right: the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer behind the Kenmore brand, and the remaining digits narrow down the product family and the exact version. For Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 10658703803, the 106 prefix is the key that points you to the correct parts list and service information in the 10658703803 owner's manual.

How a Kenmore model number is structured

Most Kenmore model numbers follow this pattern:

• 3-digit prefix: manufacturer identifier (most important for parts matching)
• Middle digits: base design or series within that manufacturer
• Ending digits: feature set, color/finish, or production variation

Quick example using your model

Section	Example	What it tells us
Prefix	106	Manufacturer code used for parts lookup
Remainder	58703803	The specific design and version

How to use the model number when buying parts

When you search parts for a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator, we recommend these steps:

• Match the full model number exactly (for you: 10658703803).
• Use the model number to confirm fit before ordering common items like a water filter or door bin.
• If a part has multiple color options (for example, gaskets or handles), match the description carefully.
• Keep the model number handy when troubleshooting cooling, ice maker, or dispenser issues.
• Cross-check diagrams and part lists in the 10658703803 owner's manual to confirm location and naming.

Why it matters

Kenmore is a brand label used across multiple manufacturers. The 3-digit prefix prevents ordering the wrong refrigerator parts (filters, control boards, door gaskets, hinges) that look similar but mount differently or use different connectors.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator like model 10658703803 typically lasts 12 to 15 years. Good airflow around the cabinet, clean condenser coils, and keeping door seals tight are the biggest factors that help you reach (or beat) that average.

What you can do to help it last longer

• Clean the condenser area regularly (dust buildup makes the compressor work harder).
• Keep the toe grille and rear vents clear for proper ventilation.
• Confirm doors close and seal fully; warm air leaks create extra run time.
• Replace the water filter on schedule to protect water flow and ice maker performance.
• Keep temperatures steady (avoid frequent wide adjustments).
• Level the refrigerator so doors self-close and align correctly.

Quick lifespan guide (what to expect)

Item	Typical lifespan	Notes
Kenmore Elite refrigerator (overall)	12 to 15 years	Average for modern refrigerators with normal use
Water filter	About 6 months	Replace sooner if water flow slows or taste changes
Door gasket	Several years	Shorter if torn, warped, or not sealing

When “end of life” symptoms start showing up

These issues often signal wear that can shorten lifespan if not addressed:

• Refrigerator not holding temperature or running constantly
• Clicking or humming followed by no cooling (start components or compressor strain)
• Frost buildup on the freezer back wall (defrost system problem)
• Water leaking under the unit or inside compartments
• Ice maker or dispenser performance dropping

If you are maintaining the unit and still seeing water quality or flow issues, using the correct filter for this model (for example, refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1) helps protect the dispenser and ice maker.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is clean, well-ventilated, and sealing properly runs fewer hours per day. That reduces compressor load, helps stabilize temperatures, and typically extends the service life of key parts.

For model-specific care and maintenance intervals, follow the 10658703803 owner's manual.
