How to tell cubic feet of Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore model 10662152110, the most reliable way to get cubic feet is to look up the capacity in the 10662152110 owner's manual. If you cannot find a listed capacity there, you can still estimate it accurately by measuring the usable interior space and converting cubic inches to cubic feet.
Fast ways to find capacity
- Check the specifications section in the 10662152110 owner's manual.
- Look for a rating label inside the fresh food section (often on a side wall or near the crisper area); some units list capacity there.
- Use the model number to confirm you have the correct manual and parts list for 10662152110.
How to estimate cubic feet by measuring
- Empty the compartment you are measuring (fresh food and freezer are often measured separately).
- Measure the usable interior:
- Width (left to right)
- Depth (front to back, not including door bins)
- Height (bottom shelf area to ceiling, excluding light housings)
- Multiply: width × depth × height = cubic inches.
- Convert: cubic inches ÷ 1728 = cubic feet.
Quick conversion table
| What you have | What to do | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Interior measurements in inches | Multiply L × W × H | Cubic inches |
| Cubic inches | Divide by 1728 | Cubic feet |
Why the model number alone is not enough
Kenmore model numbers (including the 106 prefix family) identify the design series and configuration, but they do not consistently encode the exact interior volume. Capacity can also vary with shelf design, ice maker configuration, and liner changes.
Helpful tip if you are comparing sizes
- Top-mount refrigerators commonly fall in the 14 to 22 cubic feet range.
- Use your measurement estimate to compare models apples-to-apples, especially if you are planning kitchen fit or storage needs.

How to clean the drip pan on a Kenmore refrigerator?
On Kenmore refrigerator model 10662152110, you typically clean the drip pan by safely accessing it, emptying and washing it with mild soap and warm water, then reinstalling it so it sits flat and can evaporate defrost water normally. Use the 10662152110 owner's manual for the exact access method.
Before you start (safety and prep)
- Unplug the refrigerator or switch off power at the breaker.
- Remove food from the lower shelves if you need more working room.
- Have towels ready; the pan can spill when you slide it out.
- Use mild dish soap; avoid harsh chemicals that can leave odors.
- If you see mold, wear gloves and ventilate the area.
How to clean the drip pan
- Pull the refrigerator straight out a few inches so you can reach the lower rear area.
- Locate the drip pan near the bottom, usually close to the compressor and condenser area.
- Slide the pan out carefully and keep it level.
- Empty it into a sink, then wash with warm water and mild soap.
- Rinse and dry completely.
- Slide the pan back in until it is fully seated.
Quick troubleshooting if the pan is messy again soon
- Water on the floor: Check for a clogged defrost drain or a pan that is not seated flat.
- Bad odors: Clean the pan and wipe nearby surfaces; odors often come from residue buildup.
- Warm area near the pan: Normal; heat helps evaporate water.
What to use (and what to avoid)
| Item | Recommended? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Mild dish soap + warm water | Yes | Cleans residue without strong odors |
| Baking soda solution | Yes | Helps neutralize smells |
| Bleach (strong mix) | No | Can leave lingering odor and irritate surfaces |
| Abrasive pads | No | Can scratch plastic and trap grime |
Why it matters
A clean drip pan helps prevent odors, reduces the chance of mold growth, and keeps evaporated defrost water from turning into sticky residue that can attract dust near the condenser.

What is the upper part of a fridge called?
On a Kenmore top-mount refrigerator like model 10662152110, the upper section is typically the freezer compartment. It is the colder compartment designed to keep foods frozen and, on many models, it also houses the ice maker and freezer airflow components.
What you will usually find in the upper (freezer) section
- Freezer shelves or wire racks for frozen food storage
- An evaporator area behind the rear panel (where cooling is produced)
- Air vents that send cold air down into the fresh food section
- A freezer light and door switch (on many designs)
- Optional automatic ice maker components
Freezer vs fresh food section (quick comparison)
| Section | Common name | Main job | Typical temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper compartment | Freezer | Freeze and store food long-term | About 0°F |
| Lower compartment | Refrigerator (fresh food) | Keep food cold without freezing | About 37°F to 40°F |
Why the name matters when ordering parts
Parts lists and diagrams for model 10662152110 often group components by where they are used (freezer vs refrigerator section). If you are troubleshooting warm temperatures, frost buildup, or fan noise, identifying the correct compartment helps you match the right part and repair steps.
Examples of freezer-related parts you may see for this model
- Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315539 (moves cold air through the freezer and into the refrigerator section)
- Refrigerator bi-metal thermostat WPW10392132 (helps control defrost temperature conditions)
- Refrigerator defrost heater WPW10316428 (melts frost off the evaporator during defrost)
