How to tell cubic feet of Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore model 10672202201, the model number alone usually does not state the exact cubic-foot capacity. The most reliable way is to look up the capacity in the specifications section of the owner's manual, or calculate it from the interior measurements of the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Fast ways to find capacity
- Check the specs in the manual: Look for “capacity” or “cubic feet” in the product specifications section of the owner's manual.
- Use the model/serial label: The model and serial number label is typically on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment; use that model number to match the correct specs in the manual.
- Measure and calculate (good estimate): Measure interior width, height, and depth (in inches) for each compartment.
- Add both compartments: Total capacity is fresh food volume plus freezer volume.
- Account for unusable space: Shelves, bins, and the evaporator cover reduce usable space; measured volume is an estimate.
How to calculate cubic feet (simple formula)
- Measure interior width x height x depth in inches.
- Multiply to get cubic inches.
- Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet.
Quick reference table
| What you measure | Units | What you do | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width x height x depth | inches | Multiply | cubic inches |
| Cubic inches | in³ | Divide by 1,728 | cubic feet |
Why it matters
Knowing cubic feet helps us choose the right fit for your kitchen space and compare storage capacity across Kenmore top-mount refrigerators. It also helps when planning airflow clearance and door swing space during placement (the manual lists typical clearance guidance).

What is a fridge with freezer on top called?
A fridge with the freezer on top is called a top-freezer refrigerator, also commonly called a top-mount refrigerator. Your Kenmore 10672202201 is this style, with the freezer compartment above the fresh food compartment and separate side-swing doors (one for each section). See the owner's manual for the exact feature layout on your model.
What “top-freezer” (top-mount) means
In a top-mount design, the freezer is the upper compartment and the refrigerator section is below it. This layout is popular because it is simple, efficient, and typically has straightforward airflow between sections.
Common identifiers:
- Freezer door on top, refrigerator door on bottom
- Side-hinged doors (not a pull-out freezer drawer)
- Shared cooling system that circulates air between compartments
- Vents between sections that should not be blocked by food packages
Quick comparison of common refrigerator styles
| Style name | Freezer location | Typical door layout |
|---|---|---|
| Top-freezer (top-mount) | Top | Two side-swing doors |
| Bottom-freezer | Bottom | Fridge door(s) plus freezer drawer/door |
| Side-by-side | Left side | Two tall side-swing doors |
| French door | Bottom | Two fridge doors plus bottom freezer drawer |
Why it matters for use and troubleshooting
Knowing the style helps you use the right care and troubleshooting steps. For example, top-freezer models like the Kenmore 10672202201 rely on clear vents for proper airflow; blocked vents can cause temperature swings, moisture issues, and odor transfer between compartments.
Helpful tips for top-freezer owners
- Keep freezer and refrigerator vents clear for steady temperatures
- Wrap foods tightly to reduce odor transfer between sections
- Allow airflow space around the cabinet during installation (typical guidance is about 1/2 inch at sides/top and extra clearance near walls for door swing)
- If you have an ice maker installed, leave room behind the unit for the water line

What model Kenmore fridge do I have?
Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label inside the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment. For Kenmore model 10672202201, the label is typically on an inside wall; once you have that number, you can match parts and documentation accurately using the owner's manual.
Where to look for the model number label
Check these common spots in the fresh food section first:
- Inside wall (left or right side)
- Ceiling area near the temperature control housing
- Behind or beside the crisper drawers
- Along the front frame (near the door opening)
What to write down (and why)
We recommend recording these items exactly as shown on the label:
- Model number (example format in the manual: 106.)
- Serial number
- Purchase date (if available)
Why it matters
The model number locks in the correct fit for parts like an ice maker assembly, door gasket, evaporator fan motor, and water inlet valve. Even small model variations can change the correct part ID.
Quick ID checklist
Use this checklist to avoid mix-ups:
- Copy the model number character-for-character (no spaces added)
- Confirm you are reading the label inside the refrigerator compartment (not the freezer)
- Use the full model number when searching parts for Kenmore 10672202201
Model number vs. serial number
| Item | What it tells you | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Exact design and parts fit | Parts lookup, diagrams, manual matching |
| Serial number | Production-specific identifier | Service history, unit identification |

What water filter fits my Kenmore fridge?
For Kenmore refrigerator model 10672202201, the correct water filter is the one that matches the filter cartridge style used in your fresh food compartment. This model uses an interior water filter cartridge located in the upper corner of the refrigerator section; we recommend confirming the exact replacement by checking the filter label and the instructions in the owner's manual.
How to confirm the right filter (fast and accurate)
Use these checks before ordering so you get the correct cartridge the first time:
- Look at the existing filter cartridge for its printed part number/model.
- Verify your refrigerator’s model number is 10672202201 (model tag inside the fresh food section).
- Confirm the filter is an interior style (not an inline filter behind the unit).
- Match the twist-lock orientation; this filter removes with about a 1/4 turn to the left.
- If your water flow drops before 6 months, plan to replace the filter more often.
What the manual says about location and replacement timing
Your 10672202201 filter is installed inside the refrigerator:
- Location: upper corner of the fresh food compartment
- Typical replacement interval: every 6 to 9 months (sooner if water flow decreases)
- After replacement: flush the system by dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gallons of water (about 6 to 7 minutes) to clear air and reduce discoloration
Quick reference table
| What you’re checking | What to look for on 10672202201 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Filter location | Inside fresh food compartment (upper corner) | Confirms you need an interior cartridge style |
| Removal method | Twist about 1/4 turn left, then pull down | Ensures the replacement has the same mount |
| Change interval | 6 to 9 months typical | Helps prevent low flow and taste/odor issues |
| Flush after install | 2 to 3 gallons (6 to 7 minutes) | Reduces gray/dark ice and clears the line |
Why it matters
Using the correct filter for your Kenmore 10672202201 keeps water flow steady for the dispenser and ice maker, helps prevent off-tastes and odors, and reduces issues like gray or dark discoloration in ice that can happen when a new filter needs additional flushing.
