How to read Kenmore refrigerator model number?
Your Kenmore refrigerator model number is the ID we use to match the correct parts and diagrams for your exact unit; for model 10672003010, you will typically find it on a rating label inside the fresh food section or freezer, or behind the lower front kickplate.
Where to find the model number label
Check these common locations on Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators like 10672003010:
- Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (often near the crisper area)
- Inside the refrigerator door frame (open the door and look around the perimeter)
- Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall or ceiling
- Behind the lower toe grille or kickplate (front bottom)
- Behind the lower crisper drawer area (on the liner wall)
If the label is dirty or faded, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it so the characters are easier to read.
How to read the number and why it matters
Kenmore model numbers are used to identify the product platform and the exact configuration (features, color, and production run). Entering the full model number exactly as shown on the label helps ensure you get the right items, such as a door gasket, ice maker, or control board.
Model number vs. serial number
| What you see on the label | What it’s used for | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Finds correct parts and diagrams | 10672003010 |
| Serial number | Identifies your specific unit’s build | Varies |
Tips to avoid common mistakes
- Copy the model number character-for-character (including any leading zeros)
- Use uppercase letters if any appear on the tag
- Do not use the patent number or other long codes on the label
- If there is a revision after the model (such as a suffix), include it when searching
Why it matters
A single digit difference can change fit and compatibility; using the correct model number helps prevent ordering the wrong refrigerator parts and reduces installation issues.

Why is my Kenmore refrigerator leaking underneath?
Water under your Kenmore refrigerator model 10672003010 is most often caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain that overflows into the cabinet and then onto the floor. Clearing the drain path and checking the drain tube and drain pan usually stops the leak.
Most common causes (and what to check first)
- Defrost drain clogged with food debris or ice: water backs up and leaks out under the unit.
- Drain tube restricted or out of position: water misses the drain pan and ends up on the floor.
- Cracked or shifted drain pan: defrost water drips underneath instead of evaporating.
- Water supply connection leak (if you have an ice maker): slow drips can pool under the refrigerator.
- Door not sealing well: excess frost leads to heavy defrost water and overflow.
Quick fix: clear a clogged defrost drain
- Unplug the refrigerator.
- Remove items from the bottom of the fresh food section and access the rear interior area where the drain trough and hole sit.
- Melt any visible ice with warm water (not boiling) and clear the drain hole with a soft tube cleaner.
- Flush the drain with warm water until it flows freely to the drain pan.
- Reassemble and restore power.
For model-specific access points and panel removal steps, follow the 10672003010 owner's manual.
Parts that commonly solve “leaking underneath”
If clearing the drain helps only temporarily, the drain path may be damaged or not routing water correctly.
| Symptom | Most likely area | What typically fixes it |
|---|---|---|
| Water appears after defrost cycles | Defrost drain path | Clear drain; replace drain tube if split |
| Water near back/bottom | Drain tube to pan | Reseat or replace tube |
| Water near water line | Inlet valve or fittings | Tighten/replace leaking component |
Model-matched part to consider if the drain tube is cracked or missing: refrigerator drain tube W10619951.
Why it matters
Leaks underneath can lead to floor damage and can also indicate a defrost drainage problem that may cause ice buildup around the evaporator, reducing cooling performance over time.
