Kenmore 10658506801 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore model 10658506801, the model number by itself usually does not reliably encode the exact cubic-foot capacity. The most accurate way is to look up the capacity in the product specifications section of the owner's manual, or calculate it from the interior compartment measurements.

Fast ways to find the cubic feet

• Check the specifications section in the owner's manual for listed capacity.
• Look for a tech/spec sheet stored behind the base grille or inside the kickplate area (common on many side-by-side designs).
• Measure the usable interior (not the outside cabinet) and calculate volume.
• If you only need a ballpark, most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are typically 20 to 26 cu. ft. total capacity.

How to calculate cubic feet (DIY method)

1. Empty one compartment (fresh food or freezer) so you can measure accurately.
2. Measure height, width, and depth in inches for the usable space.
3. Multiply: H x W x D = cubic inches.
4. Convert to cubic feet: cubic inches ÷ 1728 = cubic feet.
5. Repeat for the other compartment and add them together.

Quick reference table

What you have	What to do	Result
Model number only	Use the owner's manual specs	Exact capacity (when listed)
Tape measure	Measure inside and divide by 1728	Calculated capacity
No access to inside	Use typical side-by-side range	Approximate capacity

Why it matters

Capacity affects how you shop for refrigerator parts and accessories (like shelves, bins, and water filtration), and it helps when comparing storage space across models.

To replace the water filter in your Kenmore 10658506801 side-by-side refrigerator, use the base grille filter location below the freezer door: press the eject button, pull the filter straight out, move the cap to the new filter, then push the new filter in until it fully seats. See the owner's manual for the exact steps and flushing procedure.

Step-by-step: changing the base grille water filter

• Press the eject button and pull the filter straight out by the cap.
• Turn the filter cap counterclockwise until it stops; remove the cap.
• Remove the protective cover from the new filter’s O-rings.
• Install the cap on the new filter: align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the filter, then turn clockwise until it snaps in.
• Push the new filter into the base grille opening; the eject button will depress, then pop back out when fully engaged.
• Pull gently on the cap to confirm the filter is locked in place.

Flush the water system after replacing the filter

We recommend flushing to clear air and carbon fines after installing a new cartridge.

Action	Timing	What to expect
Hold dispenser lever	5 seconds	Water may sputter at first
Release lever	5 seconds	Flow may pause
Repeat until water flows	Varies	Air clears from lines
Continue 5 on, 5 off	2 minutes	More stable flow

Tips to avoid leaks and fit issues

• Do not twist the cap while pulling the filter out; pull straight to keep the cap from popping off.
• Expect a small spill; keep a towel under the base grille area.
• If the cap came off the old filter, reinstall it on the old filter and pull straight out again.
• If the filter will not seat, remove it and re-check cap alignment (ridge to arrow).

Which replacement filter fits this model?

This model uses a base grille water filter; the replacement filter listed for this model is genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

Why it matters

A properly installed and flushed refrigerator water filter helps maintain water flow at the dispenser, supports normal ice maker fill, and reduces the chance of air pockets that can cause sputtering or slow dispensing.

To identify your Kenmore refrigerator model, we look for the model number on the appliance’s ID label, then match that number when selecting parts and troubleshooting info. For Kenmore model 10658506801, the model number is the key identifier for the correct water filter, ice maker, and control parts.

Where to find the model number label

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 refrigerator section
• Behind or beside the crisper drawers
• Along the door frame (open the door and check the inner perimeter)
• Behind the base grille or near the lower hinge area

For diagrams and model-specific details, use the owner's manual.

How to read the number (and why it matters)

Kenmore model numbers are usually a long string of numbers. The first three digits are often a prefix that helps identify the manufacturing source and parts family.

To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore 10658506801 side-by-side refrigerator, we disconnect power, remove the old ice maker assembly, transfer any reusable parts (such as the shutoff arm/stripper if equipped), then install and level the new ice maker and restore water and power. Use the owner's manual for model-specific access and safety steps.

Before you start (safety and prep)

• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before servicing.
• Turn OFF the main water supply if you will disconnect the water line.
• Protect floors and shelves; remove the ice bin to prevent spills.
• Keep screws and brackets organized for reassembly.
• Do not force the ice maker wire shutoff arm up or down.

Replacement steps (typical side-by-side procedure)

1. Shut down safely: Unplug the unit (or switch off the breaker).
2. Access the ice maker: Remove the ice bin and any shelves/bins blocking access.
3. Disconnect wiring: Unplug the ice maker harness connector.
4. Remove the ice maker: Take out mounting screws, lift the ice maker off its hanger tabs/bracket, and remove it.
5. Transfer parts if needed: If your replacement ice maker does not include items like the shutoff arm or mounting bracket, move identical pieces from the old unit.
6. Install the new ice maker: Hang it on the tabs, reinstall screws, and make sure it sits square and secure.
7. Reconnect wiring and reassemble: Plug the harness back in, reinstall the ice bin and shelves.
8. Turn ice maker on: Lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON position.

Parts that commonly apply

Symptom after replacement	Most common cause	What to check next
No ice production	Ice maker not turned on	Wire shutoff arm down (ON)
Small or hollow cubes	Low water fill	House shutoff valve fully open, no kinks
No water to ice maker	Water supply issue	Water line connection, inlet valve function
Leaks at back	Loose fitting	Compression nut and tubing seating

If you are replacing the ice maker itself for this model, the correct assembly is typically the refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965. If water is not refilling the mold, the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 is a common related part to inspect.

Why it matters

A properly mounted, powered ice maker with a steady water supply prevents leaks, improves cube quality, and avoids nuisance issues like overfilling or intermittent ice production.

Your Kenmore 10658506801 side-by-side refrigerator does not have one single, universal “reset button” for the whole unit. The main reset you will use is the water filter status reset, which is on the dispenser control panel; press and hold RESET for 2 seconds after changing the filter (see the owner's manual).

What you can reset on this model

Here are the most common “resets” customers mean on a Kenmore 10658506801:

• Water filter status light: press and hold RESET for 2 seconds
• Dispenser lock: press UNLOCK to restore ice and water dispensing
• Control power cycle (basic electronics reset): turn the control OFF, unplug briefly, then restore power and set controls back to the desired setting
• Ice maker and dispenser issues: often improved by a power cycle plus checking water supply and filter condition

How to do a safe power reset (control power cycle)

Use this when the refrigerator is acting “glitchy” (display oddities, dispenser not responding, intermittent operation).

1. Turn the temperature control (thermostat/refrigerator or freezer control) OFF.
2. Unplug the refrigerator from the outlet.
3. Wait 2 to 5 minutes.
4. Plug the refrigerator back in.
5. Set the controls back to the desired setting and allow time for temperatures to stabilize.

Why it matters

A power cycle clears minor control logic issues and restores normal operation without replacing parts. It is also the safest first step before deeper troubleshooting.

If the “reset” you need is for the water filter light

After installing a new filter, reset the indicator so it tracks filter life correctly.

• Replace the filter when the light is red or when water flow drops
• Reset the light: press and hold RESET for 2 seconds
• Typical replacement interval: every 6 months (varies with water quality and usage)

If you are replacing the filter, match the correct cartridge for this model, such as the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

Symptom	Most likely “reset”	What to do
Filter light stays red after filter change	Filter status reset	Hold RESET 2 seconds
Dispenser won’t dispense	Dispenser lock	Press UNLOCK
Fridge seems unresponsive after outage	Power cycle	Turn control OFF, unplug 2 to 5 minutes
