Kenmore 10656676501 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10656676501 is a full-size side-by-side; the exact cubic-foot capacity and the exact width, height, and depth are listed in the 10656676501 owner's manual. For planning a replacement or move, we recommend confirming the cabinet measurements on your unit.

What “big” usually means

Most customers need one or more of these measurements:

• Total capacity (cu. ft.) for storage comparison
• Overall width, height, depth to fit a kitchen opening
• Depth with handles versus without handles
• Door swing clearance so doors and bins open fully
• Airflow clearance behind and above the cabinet

How to get the exact size for model 10656676501

Use these steps to get numbers you can rely on for installation and fit:

• Look up capacity and product dimensions in the 10656676501 owner's manual.
• Measure the refrigerator with a tape measure:
  • Width at the widest point
  • Height floor to top of cabinet (and to top hinge cover if present)
  • Depth cabinet only, then depth including handles
• Measure your space:
  • Opening width and height
  • Depth to the wall and to any countertop overhang
  • Clearance needed for door swing

Measurement you need	Where to get it	Why it matters
Capacity (cu. ft.)	Manual specs	Compares storage volume
Width, height, depth	Manual plus tape measure	Confirms fit in the opening
Door swing clearance	Tape measure	Prevents doors hitting walls/cabinets

Why it matters

Capacity helps you compare refrigerators, but dimensions and clearances determine whether model 10656676501 fits your kitchen and whether the doors, shelves, and bins operate without interference.

To replace the water filter in your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10656676501, open the filter access door (commonly in the base grille or inside the fresh food compartment), remove the old cartridge, install the new one fully seated, then flush the system to clear air and carbon fines. See the 10656676501 owner's manual for the exact filter location and reset steps.

Step-by-step: replacing the filter

• Dispense a few cups of water first to relieve pressure and reduce dripping.
• Open the filter cover or access door.
• Remove the old filter (turn counterclockwise or press the release, depending on the housing).
• Install the new filter and lock it in place (turn clockwise until it stops or push until it clicks).
• Close the access door and check for leaks around the filter head.
• Flush the filter by dispensing water for several minutes; discard the first batches of ice.

Which filter fits this model?

For model 10656676501, a common replacement is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1. Always match the filter style to the housing in your refrigerator.

What you see	What it usually means	What to do
Filter door at bottom of freezer	Base grille style filter	Open the small door, twist or pull filter out
Filter inside fresh food area	Push-in or quarter-turn style	Press release or twist to remove
Water tastes off after change	Normal carbon fines/air	Flush water and dump first ice

Resetting the filter indicator

Many Kenmore side-by-side models use a control-panel filter light. After installing the new filter, reset the indicator using the steps shown in the 10656676501 owner's manual.

Why it matters

A fresh refrigerator water filter improves taste and flow, helps protect the water inlet valve and dispenser system from sediment, and reduces the chance of slow fill issues that can affect ice production.

If your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10656676501 ice maker isn’t making ice, the most common causes are a shutoff water supply, a frozen fill tube, a clogged water filter, or a failing inlet valve that isn’t sending water to the ice maker. Use the 10656676501 owner’s manual to confirm the correct ice maker and dispenser settings.

Quick checks (fastest fixes first)

• Make sure the ice maker is turned ON and the shutoff arm (if equipped) is down.
• Confirm the freezer is cold enough; set the freezer to 0°F and the refrigerator to 37°F.
• Check the household water shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line isn’t kinked.
• Look for an ice plug in the fill tube behind the ice maker; thaw it with a hair dryer on low.
• Replace the water filter if flow is weak or the filter is overdue; use genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

When it points to a part problem

If the quick checks don’t restore ice production, these components are the usual suspects.

Symptom	Most likely cause	What we do next
No water enters ice maker	Inlet valve not opening	Test/replace refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
Ice maker cycles but no ice drops	Ice maker assembly failure	Replace refrigerator ice maker 2198597
Small cubes or slow production	Restricted water flow	Replace filter, verify supply pressure

Why it matters

An ice maker depends on steady water flow and proper freezer temperature. A partially restricted filter or a weak inlet valve can stop ice production completely, and a frozen fill tube can block water even when the valve is working.

Tips to prevent repeat issues

• Replace the water filter on schedule to protect the inlet valve and ice maker.
• Keep freezer vents clear so cold air reaches the ice maker area.
• After filter changes, dispense water for a few minutes to purge air from the line.
