Kenmore 10653584300 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10653584300, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label located on the inside wall of the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment. You can confirm the exact label location and what information it lists in the owner's manual.

What to look for on the label

The label typically includes key identification details you may need for parts and service:

• Model number (for this unit: 10653584300)
• Serial number
• Purchase date field (sometimes recorded by the owner)
• Electrical ratings (varies by model)

Quick steps to find it

1. Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door.
2. Look along the inside walls of the refrigerator compartment.
3. Check near the crisper area and side walls where labels are commonly placed.
4. Write down the model number and serial number exactly as shown.

Why it matters

We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore parts and diagrams for your exact refrigerator configuration. Even small model-number differences can change which items fit, such as a water filter, ice maker assembly, or inlet valve.

On a Kenmore 10653584300 side-by-side refrigerator, a “bad compressor” usually shows up as warm temperatures with the compressor repeatedly clicking on and off, running unusually loud, or running but not cooling. Before condemning the compressor, we confirm airflow, condenser cleanliness, and start components because those issues can mimic compressor failure.

Quick signs that point to a compressor problem

• Refrigerator and freezer are both warm, even though interior lights work.
• You hear a repeating click every few minutes from the compressor area (overload trying to start it).
• Compressor is extremely hot to the touch and shuts off quickly.
• Compressor runs steadily but there is little to no cooling (often paired with poor frost pattern on the evaporator).
• Unusual buzzing, pulsating, or high-pitched sounds that are new and persistent (some compressor sounds are normal). See the owner's manual.

Rule out common look-alikes first (most important)

Many “compressor” complaints are actually airflow, heat-transfer, or defrost issues.

What you notice	More likely cause	What to check first
Both sections warm	No heat removal at condenser	Clean condenser coils; verify condenser fan airflow
Freezer cold, fridge warm	Airflow restriction	Check vents, evaporator fan operation, heavy frost buildup
Clicking, no start	Start device or capacitor issue	Inspect wiring, relay/overload, and capacitor connections
Runs long time	Dirty coils, frequent door openings, warm room	Clean coils; confirm doors seal and close fully

What we check on this model before replacing the compressor

1. Condenser coils: Dirty coils make the sealed system work harder and can cause poor cooling; the manual calls out cleaning coils as a key step.
2. Door sealing and closing: If doors do not close completely or gaskets do not seal, run time increases and cooling suffers.
3. Defrost system symptoms: Heavy frost can block airflow; if you suspect defrost trouble, parts like the refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 and refrigerator heater WP2323198 are common checkpoints.
4. Start components: A failed run capacitor can prevent the compressor from starting; this model has options such as refrigerator run capacitor WPW10662129.

Why it matters

The compressor is part of the sealed refrigeration system; it is expensive and labor-intensive compared with items like a thermostat, defrost parts, or a capacitor. Confirming the basics first prevents replacing the wrong part and helps restore proper temperatures faster.

The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10653584300 are cooling problems (too warm), ice maker or water dispenser trouble, water leaks, frost buildup, doors not sealing or closing well, and lights not working. Many of these start with airflow blockages, dirty seals, or a water supply problem.

Quick checks we recommend first

These steps solve a large share of “not cooling” and “too warm” complaints:

• Make sure the unit is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet and the breaker is not tripped.
• Confirm the refrigerator and freezer controls are not set to OFF.
• Check that air vents are not blocked by food packages (blocked vents stop cold air movement).
• Limit frequent door openings; organize food so doors close quickly.
• If your model has digital controls, turn the unit OFF then ON to reset.
• If doors are hard to open, clean sticky or dirty door gaskets.

For model-specific control locations and troubleshooting steps, use the owner's manual.

Common symptoms, likely causes, and what to do

Symptom	Common cause	What we do next
Refrigerator too warm	Blocked vents, frequent door openings, control settings	Clear vents, reduce openings, adjust settings per manual
Ice maker not making ice	Water supply issue, ice maker failure	Check water supply; test/replace ice maker parts
Water dispenser weak or no water	Clogged filter, inlet valve issue	Replace filter; diagnose inlet valve
Water puddles or leaks	Defrost water, drain issues, door not sealing	Check defrost pan/drain area; inspect door seal
Doors don’t close well	Needs leveling, sticky gaskets, door hardware wear	Level cabinet; clean gaskets; inspect closer parts

Parts that commonly fix these problems

If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these are common replacements for this model:

• Water quality or slow flow: refrigerator filter EDR5RXD1
• No ice production: ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943
• No water to ice maker/dispenser: refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
• Frost or defrost issues: refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 and refrigerator heater WP2323198
• Door not closing smoothly: refrigerator door closer cam WPW10329686

Why it matters

Cooling, ice, and leak symptoms often share the same root causes: restricted airflow, poor door sealing, or inconsistent water supply. Fixing the underlying cause protects food temperatures, reduces compressor run time, and prevents repeat failures.
