Where is the model number on a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658585892, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label on the side wall inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. The owner’s manual diagram shows this label location in the Parts and Features section. See the 10658585892 owner's manual for the exact label position and a parts layout.
How to find the label quickly
- Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door
- Look along the inside side wall near the front edge
- Check around the area near the crisper and meat drawer section
- Use a flashlight; the label can be easy to miss in low light
- Write down both the model number and serial number for parts lookup and service records
What you should record (and why)
The label typically includes both identifiers; we recommend copying them exactly.
| Item to record | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures you get the correct Kenmore parts diagrams and compatible replacement parts | 106.XXXXXXXX |
| Serial number | Helps identify production details when matching certain parts | Letters and numbers |
Why it matters
Kenmore model families can look similar, but parts like the ice maker, water inlet valve, and door gaskets can vary by model. Using the exact model number from the label helps you match parts correctly the first time.
Ordering parts after you find the model number
Once you confirm the model number, you can order parts from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

How to tell how old a Kenmore refrigerator is by serial number?
You can tell the age of your Kenmore refrigerator by decoding the serial number on the model and serial label (not the model number). For Kenmore model 10658585892, the label is on the cabinet inside the fresh food section; use the serial number to identify the manufacturing date. See the 10658585892 owner's manual for label location details.
Where to find the serial number on model 10658585892
The model and serial number label is inside the refrigerator compartment (fresh food side). Once you locate it, write down the full serial number exactly as shown.
- Look on the inside cabinet wall of the fresh food compartment
- Check near the crisper area or side wall (common locations)
- Record both the model number and serial number for your records
- Keep your purchase date and receipt with the serial number information
How Kenmore serial numbers typically indicate age
Kenmore refrigerators commonly use a serial format where the first characters encode the build date (month and year), followed by additional digits that identify the production sequence.
Quick decode guide (typical)
| Serial number portion | What it usually tells you | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| First 1 to 2 letters | Manufacturing month code | Match the letter(s) to the month chart in the manual/tech sheet |
| Next 1 to 2 characters | Manufacturing year code | Match the code to the year chart |
| Remaining digits | Production sequence | Not needed for age |
Because Kenmore serial coding can vary by supplier and era, we use the chart that matches your unit’s documentation and label style.
Why it matters
Knowing the manufacture date helps us match the correct replacement parts and revisions for your refrigerator, especially for common repairs involving the ice maker, water system, and defrost components.
If you are ordering parts, use your full model number 10658585892 and then select the exact part from the parts list for your refrigerator, or search by part number on Sears PartsDirect.

|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the exact refrigerator build | Confirms you are looking up the right unit |

If you are trying to estimate capacity without the label

What are the most common problems with Kenmore refrigerators?
The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10658585892 are ice maker problems, warm temperatures from airflow or control settings, water leaks from the supply or valve, unusual noises, dispenser issues, and frost buildup tied to the defrost system. Use the 10658585892 owner's manual troubleshooting section to match symptoms to checks.
Common problems and what to check first
- Ice maker not making ice: confirm freezer is cold enough, ice maker arm is down (ON), and the shutoff valve is fully open.
- Too little ice: allow 72 hours after hookup for full production; heavy use needs 24 hours to recover.
- Not cooling well: verify control settings, reduce door openings, and make sure doors close completely.
- Water leaking: inspect the water line connection and look for a seeping inlet valve.
- Noisy operation: many sounds are normal; persistent new noises often point to a fan or airflow restriction.
- Frost buildup: usually relates to a defrost heater, defrost thermostat (bi-metal), or defrost control.
Quick symptom-to-part map (model 10658585892)
| Symptom | Most likely area | Parts that commonly apply on this model |
|---|---|---|
| Ice maker not producing ice | Water supply, ice maker module | Ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943, refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 |
| Warm fridge or freezer | Temperature control, airflow | Refrigerator thermostat WP2198202, evaporator fan area |
| Frost on back wall, poor airflow | Defrost system | Refrigerator heater WP2323198, refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581, refrigerator defrost timer 4388932 |
| Water dispenser weak or no water | Filter housing, valve, tubing | Refrigerator water filter housing WP2186443, refrigerator inlet valve W10408179, refrigerator water tube 8201597 |
Why it matters
Catching the root cause early protects food temperatures, prevents repeat ice and water dispenser failures, and helps avoid secondary damage like ice buildup around the evaporator or water puddles on the floor.
Helpful DIY guidance
- For water filter and flow issues, follow how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator.
