Kenmore 10658909802 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right; the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer code, and the remaining digits narrow down the exact product design and version. For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658909802, using the full model number helps us match the correct parts and manual information.

Most Kenmore refrigerators place the model and serial label in one of these spots:

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

For model-specific label and record details, use the 10658909802 owner’s manual.

Kenmore model numbers typically follow this pattern:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): manufacturer code
• Middle digits: product platform or base design
• Suffix digits: feature set, color, or engineering revision

Using the complete model number (not a partial) prevents mismatches, especially for parts that vary by revision, such as:

• Water filters and filter housings
• Ice maker assemblies
• Water inlet valves and water tubing
• Electronic controls and temperature controls
• Door gaskets and dispenser components

If you are replacing the filter on this model, the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 is a common match for this platform.

• Write down the full model number exactly as shown (all digits)
• Use the full number when searching parts (for example, 10658909802, not just 106.5890)
• Record the serial number too; it helps confirm production series when troubleshooting

Kenmore used multiple manufacturers and design platforms; the same “Kenmore” name can cover very different internal parts. The full model number is the fastest way to get the correct refrigerator parts and repair guidance.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10658909802 are cooling issues, ice maker and water dispenser problems, water leaks, moisture buildup, and unusual noises. Many of these come down to airflow (dirty coils, fan issues), defrost system faults, or water supply and filter restrictions; see the 10658909802 owner's manual for model-specific troubleshooting steps.

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: restricted airflow, dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan problems, or defrost system trouble (ice buildup).
• Ice maker not making ice or low ice production: water supply shutoff not fully open, kinked water line, ice maker switched off, or low water flow.
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged filter, frozen water line, or inlet valve issues.
• Water leaks or puddles: clogged defrost drain, loose water line connections, or door not sealing.
• Moisture buildup inside: frequent door openings, doors not fully closing, or humid room conditions.
• Noisy operation: normal operating sounds after installation, fan noise, or vibration from leveling issues.

• Confirm controls are turned on and set correctly; recheck temperatures after 24 hours.
• Minimize door openings and make sure doors close fully.
• If newly installed or recently moved, allow 24 hours to stabilize; ice production can take 24 to 72 hours to reach normal.
• Verify the refrigerator is connected to water and the shutoff valve is fully open.
• Inspect the water line for kinks and straighten as needed.

Cooling, ice, and leak complaints often share the same root causes: airflow and water flow. Restoring proper circulation and steady water pressure prevents food spoilage, reduces frost buildup, and helps the ice maker and dispenser work consistently.

For Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658909802, a “not cooling” problem is usually caused by a power issue, controls set incorrectly (including OFF), blocked airflow vents, or a failed cooling component such as the evaporator fan or defrost system. Start with the quick checks in the 10658909802 owner's manual.

• Confirm the refrigerator is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Test the outlet (plug in a lamp) and reset the breaker or replace a blown fuse.
• Make sure the refrigerator controls are ON and not set to OFF.
• Allow 24 hours after a new installation or major temperature change for full cooling.
• Check that food packages are not blocking the freezer bottom inlet or the refrigerator top vent.
• Keep doors fully closed; frequent openings can make temperatures rise.

Your 10658909802 relies on air moving from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again. If vents are blocked, airflow is restricted and both temperature and moisture problems can occur.

If power, settings, and airflow are correct, the issue often points to a failed component.

• If you do not hear air movement in the freezer, the evaporator fan system may be involved; the fan blade is refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142.
• If you see heavy frost on the evaporator cover and airflow is weak, the defrost system can be involved; a common service part is the refrigerator defrost heater WP2323198.
• If the ice maker and dispenser also stop working, a water supply issue can be related; the valve is refrigerator water inlet valve W10408179.

A refrigerator that is not cooling can spoil food quickly, and blocked vents or incorrect control settings can mimic a major failure. Doing the simple checks first prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps you pinpoint whether the problem is electrical, airflow-related, or a cooling-system component.

The cubic-foot capacity for Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658909802 is listed in the model’s specifications section of the 10658909802 owner's manual. That published number is the total interior volume (refrigerator plus freezer); your usable space is always a bit less once bins, shelves, and the ice system are installed.

In the 10658909802 owner's manual, check the sections typically labeled “Product specifications,” “Features,” “Performance data sheet,” or “Model information.” Capacity is usually shown as a single total number and sometimes split by compartment.

• Look for “Capacity” or “Total volume” in the specifications pages
• Check for a refrigerator vs. freezer breakdown (some manuals include both)
• Use the model number 10658909802 on the rating label to confirm you are reading the correct manual
• If you have an in-door ice bin, expect less usable freezer room than the published cubic feet

Cubic feet helps you compare replacement refrigerators and choose organizers that fit your storage needs. Usable space is what matters day to day, especially if you use the ice maker and door storage heavily.

If you are checking specs because you are reorganizing or servicing the ice and water system, replacing the filter on schedule helps maintain flow and taste; see how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator and use the correct filter for your setup, such as refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 if it matches your housing.

Most Kenmore refrigerators last 10 to 15 years. For a Kenmore side-by-side like model 10658909802, consistent maintenance (especially cleaning and airflow) and quick fixes for ice and water issues can push service life toward the high end of that range; neglected units wear out sooner.

A refrigerator’s life is mainly driven by compressor run time, heat removal, and door sealing.

• Condenser coil cleanliness (dirty coils make the compressor work harder)
• Door gasket condition (air leaks cause longer run times and frost)
• Ice maker and water system health (leaks and clogs create secondary damage)
• Room temperature and ventilation around the cabinet
• How often doors are opened and how full the compartments are

Use this as a simple baseline for Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators.

For model-specific care steps and cleaning guidance, follow the 10658909802 owner's manual.

When these parts start failing, the refrigerator often runs longer, warms up, or leaks.

• Water filtration: a clogged filter can reduce dispenser flow; use the correct genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1
• Water supply control: a seeping or weak valve can cause slow fill or leaks; consider the refrigerator water inlet valve W10408179
• Defrost system: frost buildup can reduce airflow; the refrigerator defrost heater WP2323198 is a common wear item
• Air movement: damaged blades can reduce cooling; check the refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142

A refrigerator that is running hot, leaking water, or building frost usually is not “just annoying”; it is often shortening compressor life and increasing energy use. Preventive maintenance costs less than major sealed-system repairs.
