How to tell cubic feet of Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore model 10657765790, the model number alone usually does not state the exact cubic-foot capacity. The most reliable way is to look up the capacity in the 10657765790 owner's manual; if you need an estimate, we recommend measuring the usable interior space and converting it to cubic feet.
Our Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators typically place the model and serial number label on an interior side wall.
- Check the fresh food compartment side wall first
- Look behind the crisper drawers or meat pan area
- Use a flashlight; labels can be low-contrast
- Record the full model number and serial number for accuracy
If you cannot find capacity listed, you can estimate it from interior measurements.
- Empty the compartment you are measuring
- Measure width, depth, and height in inches (usable space, not the door bins)
- Multiply:
W x D x H = cubic inches - Divide by 1728 to convert cubic inches to cubic feet
- Measure refrigerator and freezer sections separately, then add them
| What you have | What to do | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Interior inches | Multiply W x D x H | Cubic inches |
| Cubic inches | Divide by 1728 | Cubic feet |
Kenmore model numbers (including the 106 prefix family) identify the design series and configuration, but capacity can vary by revision, feature package (ice maker, filtration system), and interior layout. Using the manual specs or a measurement-based estimate prevents ordering the wrong bins, shelves, or storage parts.
When you are matching storage parts to your exact interior configuration, these are common fit-sensitive items:
- Refrigerator crisper pan WP2188656 (drawer length and rail style)
- Refrigerator meat pan (depth and front profile)
- Refrigerator glass shelf (width and support tabs)
- Door bins and rails (mount style)

Where is the reset button on a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators like model 10657765790 typically do not have a dedicated “reset button.” The most reliable reset is a power reset: turn the refrigerator control to OFF, disconnect power briefly, then restore power and set the control back to your normal temperature setting (as outlined in the 10657765790 owner's manual).
- Turn the refrigerator control (thermostat) to OFF.
- Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet.
- Wait about 5 minutes (this clears many control glitches).
- Plug the refrigerator back in.
- Set the control back to your normal setting and allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
Many issues that feel like they need a reset are actually caused by power, airflow, or ice maker and dispenser conditions.
- Not running at all: Check the outlet, then check the house fuse or circuit breaker.
- Warm temperatures: Confirm vents are not blocked and doors are sealing.
- Ice maker not working: Confirm the ice maker is on and the water supply line is open.
- Dispenser acting up: A stuck switch or frozen line can mimic a control problem.
| Symptom | What we check first | What “reset” helps most |
|---|---|---|
| No lights, no cooling | Power cord, breaker/fuse | Power reset after restoring power |
| Cooling seems off after outage | Control setting, airflow | Power reset, then 24-hour stabilization |
| Ice maker stopped | Water supply, ice maker on/off | Power reset, then test ice maker |
| Dispenser unresponsive | Dispenser switch/panel | Power reset, then inspect dispenser |
A true reset on this Kenmore refrigerator is about safely removing power and restoring it with the control set correctly. That prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps you separate a temporary control glitch from a real failure (like a thermostat, defrost issue, or dispenser control problem).

Why is my Kenmore side by side ice maker not working?
If your Kenmore refrigerator model 10657765790 ice maker is not making ice, the most common causes are the freezer not being cold enough, the ice maker shutoff arm being in the OFF (up) position, or the refrigerator water supply being turned off. Use the 10657765790 owner's manual steps below to restore ice production.
- Set the freezer to 0°F (most side-by-side units make ice best at 0°F to 5°F).
- Wait 24 hours after turning the ice maker on or after a water hookup for normal ice production.
- Confirm the ice maker shutoff arm is down (ON).
- Make sure the home shut-off valve to the refrigerator water line is fully open.
- Look for a jammed cube in the ejector arm; remove it with a plastic utensil.
- Check the fill area for an ice blockage; clear only with a plastic tool.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| No ice at all | Freezer too warm or ice maker turned off | Verify freezer temp and arm position; wait 24 hours |
| Ice maker cycles but no water in mold | Water supply shut off or restricted | Open shut-off valve; check for kinked line |
| Ice jams in mechanism | Cube stuck in ejector area | Clear jam with plastic utensil |
| Ice in bin clumps or dispenser struggles | Ice frozen together or stuck in chute | Empty bin, dry it, and allow 24 hours to restock |
If the basic checks above do not restore ice, these model-compatible parts are often involved in ice production or delivery:
- Ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943 (complete ice maker module)
- Refrigerator water tube W10823511 (water path to the ice maker area)
- Refrigerator ice container WPW10312300 (bin issues, clumping, auger-related symptoms)
An ice maker depends on two things working together: cold enough freezer temperatures and a steady water supply. If either is interrupted, the mold stays dry or the harvest cycle cannot complete, so ice production stops.
