Kenmore 10656666502 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10656666502, the quickest way to confirm cubic feet is to look up the capacity in the specifications section of the 10656666502 owner's manual. If you need a backup method, you can calculate capacity by measuring the interior and converting cubic inches to cubic feet.

Capacity is listed as a specification for the refrigerator. Use the manual to match the stated cubic feet to your exact model.

• Locate the model/serial label inside the fresh food section (commonly on a side wall or ceiling area)
• Confirm the model number is 10656666502
• Check the specifications section in the 10656666502 owner's manual
• If you see multiple capacities listed, match the one tied to your exact model number

If you cannot access the spec listing, you can estimate cubic feet by measuring the usable interior space.

• Empty the compartment enough to measure accurately
• Measure width, height, and depth in inches (fresh food and freezer separately)
• Multiply: W x H x D = cubic inches
• Divide by 1728 to convert to cubic feet
• Add fresh food + freezer results for total capacity

Knowing cubic feet helps us choose correctly sized replacement parts and accessories (like shelves and bins), and it also helps when comparing refrigerators or planning food storage.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10656666502, the ice maker On/Off switch is inside the freezer compartment on the top right side. Slide the switch left to ON and right to OFF; see the 10656666502 owner's manual for the exact location illustration.

1. Open the freezer door.
2. Locate the ice maker control switch on the top right area of the freezer compartment.
3. Use the switch positions:
   • ON: slide to the left
   • OFF: slide to the right

If the ice maker has been off, it needs time to restart normal production.

• Allow 24 hours for the first batch of ice.
• Allow up to 3 days to completely fill the ice container.
• Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
• You may hear a brief buzzing sound when the water valve fills the ice maker.

These checks solve most “ice maker not working” complaints on Kenmore 106-series refrigerators.

• Confirm the freezer temperature is set cold enough (typically 0°F to 5°F).
• Make sure the ice storage bin is seated correctly and the freezer door closes fully.
• Verify the household water supply valve is fully open.
• If water flow to the dispenser is weak, replace the water filter (a clogged filter can reduce ice production); the correct filter for this model is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.
• If you have no water to the dispenser and no ice, the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 is a common failure point.

The ice maker switch is the fastest way to stop ice production during cleaning, moving the refrigerator, or troubleshooting. Using the correct ON (left) and OFF (right) positions prevents confusion and avoids unnecessary part replacements.

The overall cabinet dimensions for Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10656666502 are provided in the product specifications section of the 10656666502 owner's manual. Use those listed measurements for accurate fit, door swing, and ventilation planning in your kitchen opening.

Measure your refrigerator and compare it to the manual specs; this helps account for hinges, handles, and leveling.

• Measure width at the widest point you need to clear (cabinet only vs. handles)
• Measure height from floor to top; include the hinge cover if it sits higher
• Measure depth cabinet-only and depth including handles
• Check door swing space needed to remove bins and shelves
• Verify rear space if you have a water line for the dispenser or ice maker

The manual’s installation guidance calls for ventilation space and extra room near walls so the doors can open.

Using the model-specific dimensions and clearances helps prevent poor cooling performance, noisy operation, and door alignment issues; it also reduces the chance of pinching the water supply line on installations with an ice maker.

On Kenmore model 10656666502, ER 15 is an ice maker and dispenser system fault code used on some Kenmore-built-by-LG refrigerators; it commonly shows up when the refrigerator detects an abnormal signal in the ice maker sensing or communication circuit. Use the 10656666502 owner's manual to confirm the exact meaning for your display and to follow the recommended reset steps.

• Power reset the refrigerator: unplug (or turn off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Make sure the ice maker is turned on and the freezer is set cold enough to make ice.
• Remove the ice bin and clear any ice clumps or a jam in the chute.
• Check for frost buildup around the in-door ice maker area; heavy frost can interfere with normal sensing.
• If you need to access the dispenser area, follow how to disassemble a Kenmore refrigerator dispenser.

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

• Refrigerator ice maker 2198597 (ice maker assembly not cycling correctly)
• Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 (low or no water flow to the ice maker)
• Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 (clogged filter reducing flow)

When the refrigerator detects an ice maker related fault, it can pause ice production to prevent overfilling, leaking, or repeated motor cycling. Clearing jams and confirming steady water flow often resolves the problem quickly.
