Where is the model number on a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658585890, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label on the side wall inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. The label is shown in the Parts and Features section of the 10658585890 owner's manual.
Where to look (fast checklist)
- Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door
- Look along the inside side wall of the refrigerator compartment
- Check near the crisper and meat drawer area (lower section is common)
- Use a flashlight; the label can be easy to miss in dim light
- Write down both the model number and serial number for parts lookup
What the label includes
Most Kenmore refrigerators list both identifiers on the same sticker.
| Item on the label | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Model number (example: 10658585890) | Matching the correct parts diagrams and replacement parts |
| Serial number | Identifying production details when servicing |
| Electrical ratings | Verifying power requirements and safety info |
Why it matters
We use the model number to match the exact configuration of shelves, ice maker, water system, and door parts. Even small model variations can change which parts fit.
Tip for ordering the right part
Once you have the model number, you can order parts from the parts list for model 10658585890 on this page, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Where is the filter located on a side by side refrigerator?
On the Kenmore 10658585890 side-by-side refrigerator, the water filter system is inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment; the filter status light is located at the top of that compartment. Use the 10658585890 owner's manual to identify the exact filter access point and the correct cartridge change steps.
How to find it quickly
- Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door and look along the top interior area first.
- Check for a small filter cover, cap, or housing that twists or releases.
- If you see a filter status light at the top, the filter is typically nearby.
- If your model uses a remote filter, follow the water line routing shown in the manual.
- If the dispenser flow is weak, the filter location is still the same; the cartridge may be clogged.
What the filter status light tells you
Your model uses a water filter status light to indicate when it is time to replace the cartridge.
| Light color | Meaning | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| Green | Filter is OK | Keep using it |
| Yellow | Low filter life | Plan to replace soon |
| Red | Replace filter | Replace now |
Why it matters
Knowing the filter location helps you restore normal water flow and ice production. A restricted filter can cause noticeably slower dispensing and can affect ice maker performance and ice quality.
Related parts that may be involved
If you are troubleshooting low water flow or no ice, these parts are commonly checked along with the filter:
- Refrigerator water filter housing WP2186443 (if the housing is cracked, leaking, or not sealing)
- Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 (if the valve is not opening fully or is restricted)
- Ice maker assembly 4317943 (if water supply is good but ice production is still poor)
You can order replacement parts for Kenmore 10658585890 from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Why is there water leaking from the bottom in my Kenmore refrigerator?
Water leaking from the bottom of your Kenmore 10658585890 side-by-side refrigerator usually comes from a clogged or frozen defrost drain that overflows, or from a small water-supply seep (dispenser or ice maker) that runs down to the base. Use the 10658585890 owner's manual to match the symptom to the right area.
What to check first (fast triage)
- Look for water or ice on the freezer floor or under the rear freezer panel (points to a defrost drain issue).
- Check the drip pan area underneath; some water there during defrost is normal.
- Watch the dispenser after filling a glass; drips can run down the front and pool below.
- Check the ice chute for a cube holding the trap door open.
- Inspect the water line connections at the back for slow seepage.
Symptom-to-cause guide
| What you notice | Most likely cause | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Water starts after defrost; ice on freezer floor | Frozen/clogged defrost drain | Thaw and flush the drain until it flows freely |
| Water in drip pan only | Normal defrost water, slow evaporation | Clean pan area; allow time to evaporate |
| Drips right after dispensing water | Cup removed too soon or air in lines | Hold cup 2 to 3 seconds after releasing; flush over 24 to 72 hours |
| Puddle appears after ice use | Ice chute not sealing | Clear stuck ice; confirm chute closes |
Safe DIY fix steps
- Unplug the refrigerator before working near wiring or fans.
- Thaw ice at the drain area using warm water; use a hair dryer on low with constant movement.
- Flush the drain tube with warm water until it drains quickly.
- If the leak tracks to the water system, inspect the valve and tubing for cracks or mineral buildup.
Parts that commonly relate to bottom leaks
- Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 (controls water to the dispenser and ice maker; can seep)
- Refrigerator water tube 8201597 (can leak at fittings or from cracks)
Why it matters
A small drain restriction or slow seep can turn into recurring freezer ice, reduced airflow, and floor damage. Fixing the source stops repeat puddles.
