Where is the model number on a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator?
On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658902801, the model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label (the same label that lists the serial number). We typically see this label inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall or near the door opening; confirm the exact spot in the 10658902801 owner's manual.
Where to look first (fastest checks)
- Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door and check the left and right interior walls.
- Look around the door opening frame (near the hinges and gasket area).
- Check behind the crisper drawers or on the wall just above them.
- If you have an ice and water dispenser, also check near the control housing area inside the refrigerator.
What the label looks like
The rating label is usually a white or silver sticker/plate that includes:
- Model number (for example, 10658902801)
- Serial number (often a mix of letters and numbers)
- Electrical information (volts/amps)
Quick ID guide
| You see on the label | What it means | What to write down |
|---|---|---|
| Model No. | Identifies the exact refrigerator design | The full model number (all digits) |
| Serial No. | Identifies your specific unit | The full serial number |
Why it matters
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore parts and diagrams for your exact build, especially for common replacements like the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1, ice maker, or water inlet valve.

How to tell cubic feet of Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore model 10658902801, the most reliable way to find cubic feet is to look up the capacity in the specifications section of the 10658902801 owner's manual. If you cannot find a listed capacity, you can estimate it by measuring the usable interior space and converting cubic inches to cubic feet.
Fast ways to get the cubic feet
- Check the specifications/features pages in the 10658902801 owner's manual.
- Look for a model/serial label inside the fresh food compartment (commonly on a side wall or near the crisper area).
- If you have the original listing or receipt, it may show capacity (cu. ft.).
- Use the measurement method below for a close estimate.
How to estimate cubic feet by measuring
- Empty one compartment (refrigerator or freezer) enough to measure.
- Measure the usable interior:
- Width (in.)
- Depth (in.)
- Height (in.)
- Multiply:
W x D x H = cubic inches. - Convert:
cubic inches ÷ 1728 = cubic feet.
Quick conversion table
| What you have | What to do | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Interior inches (W x D x H) | Multiply | Cubic inches |
| Cubic inches | Divide by 1728 | Cubic feet |
Why the model number usually is not enough
Kenmore model numbers (including 106 prefix models) identify the product line and configuration, but they do not consistently encode the exact interior capacity. Capacity can also vary with features like ice maker housing, air channels, and shelf design.
Related maintenance tip (helps performance)
If you are checking capacity because storage seems tight due to ice or water issues, keeping the filtration system current helps prevent flow problems and ice maker interruptions. For this model, a common replacement is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

What are the dimensions of Kenmore refrigerator model 10658902801?
For Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658902801, the cabinet dimensions are 32 in. wide, 65-3/4 in. high, and 26-5/8 in. deep. For the most accurate fit, confirm clearance needs and door-swing space in the 10658902801 owner's manual.
Dimensions and what they mean
These measurements describe the refrigerator cabinet size (not the space you need around it).
- Width: 32 in.
- Height: 65-3/4 in.
- Depth: 26-5/8 in.
- Plan extra room for door swing, handles, and airflow
- If you have an ice maker and water dispenser, allow space for the water line behind the unit
Quick fit checklist (recommended clearances)
Most side-by-side refrigerators install best with a little breathing room.
| What to allow for | Typical planning allowance | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Side clearance | 1/8 to 1/4 in. each side | Prevents rubbing and helps leveling |
| Top clearance | 1 in. | Improves airflow and service access |
| Back clearance | 1 in. | Protects water line and improves ventilation |
Why it matters
Correct dimensions and clearances help prevent door alignment issues, reduce vibration noise, and keep the condenser area ventilated so the compressor can cool efficiently.
Related parts that can affect fit and door swing
If the refrigerator sits unevenly or the doors do not close smoothly, these parts are commonly involved:
- Refrigerator door cam (black) WP2182179 (helps the door close and align)
- Door gaskets (reduce air leaks that can cause moisture and icing)
- Leveling feet/rollers (not listed here, but often the first adjustment to check)

What does er if mean on a Kenmore refrigerator?
On Kenmore model 10658902801, the ER IF code points to a problem with the ice maker fan (ice compartment fan) or its airflow, wiring, or control. Restoring airflow and confirming the fan runs normally usually clears the issue; use the 10658902801 owner's manual for model-specific access and checks.
What to check first (fast, no parts)
- Power reset: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker) for 2 minutes, then restore power.
- Ice buildup: check the ice room and vents for frost or a blocked air passage.
- Ice bin position: reseat the ice container fully so it is not blocking the fan inlet/outlet.
- Door switch: confirm the freezer door switch clicks and the interior light turns off when pressed.
- Temperature: set freezer to about 0°F and fresh food to about 37°F; allow 24 hours to stabilize.
Likely causes and what they mean
| What you notice | Most likely cause | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| Loud buzzing or grinding near ice room | Fan blade hitting ice | Defrost the ice room, clear frost, confirm airflow |
| No fan sound when the door switch is pressed | Failed fan motor or wiring issue | Inspect harness connections; replace failed fan motor if confirmed |
| Code returns after reset, cooling seems off | Control not powering fan correctly | Check connectors; consider control diagnostics |
Parts that commonly relate to ER IF symptoms
If the ice maker is not producing ice or the ice room is not getting cold air, these parts are often involved:
- Refrigerator ice maker 2198597 (ice production issues that can accompany poor ice-room airflow)
- Refrigerator electronic control board WPW10135901 (can affect fan power and error reporting)
Why it matters
The ice maker fan moves cold air to the ice compartment. When airflow is blocked by frost or the fan is not running, ice production drops and temperatures can drift, which can lead to repeated error codes and inconsistent dispenser performance.
