How to tell cubic feet of Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore model 10655529400, the model number alone usually does not state the exact cubic-foot capacity. The fastest way to get the correct capacity is to look it up in the 10655529400 owner's manual; if you need an estimate, we recommend calculating interior volume from measurements.
Best ways to find the cubic feet
- Check the 10655529400 owner's manual for the listed capacity/specifications.
- Look for a rating plate inside the fresh food section (often on a side wall or near crisper drawers); some units list capacity there.
- Search the model’s spec sheet information included with the manual set.
- If you cannot find a published capacity, measure and calculate the interior volume (next section).
- Use the result to compare to common side-by-side sizes (typical range: 20 to 26 cu. ft.).
How to estimate cubic feet by measuring
- Empty one compartment (refrigerator or freezer) enough to measure.
- Measure the usable interior:
- Width (inches)
- Depth (inches) (front to back of usable space)
- Height (inches)
- Multiply:
width x depth x height = cubic inches. - Convert to cubic feet:
cubic inches ÷ 1728 = cubic feet. - Repeat for the other compartment and add them together.
Quick conversion table
| What you have | What to do | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Inches (W x D x H) | Multiply to get cubic inches | Total cubic inches |
| Cubic inches | Divide by 1728 | Cubic feet |
Why it matters
Cubic feet helps us match the right shelves, bins, crisper pans, and door parts, and it also helps you compare storage space when planning food organization or replacement.
Related tip for water and ice features
If you are also checking specs because of water/ice performance, a clogged filter can reduce flow; the correct replacement for this model is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

Where is the model number on a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10655529400, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label. You will typically find that label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, along the side wall near the top, or around the door opening.
Common places to check first
- Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left or right interior wall
- On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment (near the light housing)
- On the frame around the door opening (visible when the door is open)
- Behind the crisper drawers on the side wall
- On the back exterior panel (less common, but worth a quick look)
For the exact label location and what the tag looks like on this model, use the 10655529400 owner's manual.
What you should see on the label
The identification label usually includes both a model number and a serial number. The model number is the one you will use to match Kenmore parts like a water filter, ice maker, or inlet valve.
| Item on label | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Finding correct parts and diagrams | 10655529400 |
| Serial number | Dating/production tracking and service records | Letters plus numbers |
Why it matters
Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong refrigerator parts (for example, a water filter cap or ice maker assembly that looks similar but does not fit). It also helps us pull the correct parts diagram for shelves, door components, and dispenser parts.

Why is my Kenmore side by side ice maker not working?
If the ice maker in your Kenmore 10655529400 side-by-side refrigerator isn’t making ice, the most common causes are no water supply to the refrigerator, a frozen fill tube, or a failed water inlet valve or ice maker assembly. Start by confirming water flow and freezer temperature.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Make sure the freezer is cold enough (target 0°F); warm freezers often stop ice production.
- Confirm the household shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line isn’t kinked.
- Look for an ice jam in the fill tube (a frozen tube blocks water from entering the ice mold).
- Check that the ice maker is turned on (bail arm or switch, depending on configuration).
- Dump old ice and reseat the bin fully; a mis-seated bin can prevent dispensing and make it seem like the ice maker failed.
Most likely parts involved (and what they do)
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| No ice, no water entering ice maker | Water valve not opening | Test/inspect refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 |
| Ice maker cycles but cubes are small or hollow | Low water flow | Check filter, supply pressure, and valve |
| Ice maker never cycles or won’t harvest | Ice maker module failure | Inspect/replace whirlpool refrigerator ice maker assembly 2198597 |
| Water dispenser is slow too | Restricted filter | Replace genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 |
Step-by-step troubleshooting order
- Verify freezer temp: If it’s above 10°F, fix cooling first (airflow, condenser cleaning, door seal).
- Check water flow at the door: If the dispenser is weak, address filter or supply before replacing the ice maker.
- Inspect the fill tube: If frozen, thaw it and look for the reason (seeping valve, low freezer temp swings).
- Evaluate the valve: A valve can fail electrically or mechanically; it may hum but not pass water.
Why it matters
An ice maker depends on steady freezer temperature and consistent water flow. Fixing the root cause (filter restriction, frozen fill tube, or a weak inlet valve) prevents repeat failures and protects the ice mold from damage.
