Kenmore Elite 10658703801 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

To tell how old your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 10658703801 is, we use the serial number to identify the manufacturing date (the model number identifies the product line, but the serial number carries the date code). The quickest path is finding the model/serial tag and decoding the serial format shown in the 10658703801 owner's manual.

Where to find the model and serial number tag

On most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, the tag is in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light
• Behind the crisper drawers on an interior wall
• Along the door frame (hinge side) when the door is open

How to estimate the age once you have the serial number

After you write down the serial number, use these practical checks to narrow the build timeframe:

• Look for a month/year or a date code printed on the same label
• Check the warranty start paperwork or original receipt (often close to purchase date)
• Compare the serial format to the decoding guidance in the 10658703801 owner's manual
• If the label is damaged, take a clear photo and zoom in; faint ink often becomes readable

Quick decision table

What you have	What it tells you	What to do next
Model number only (10658703801)	Identifies the correct parts list	Find the serial number tag to date the unit
Serial number only	Contains the manufacturing date code	Decode the serial number format
Model + serial	Confirms exact unit and age	Use the date code to determine year/month

Why it matters

Knowing the manufacturing date helps us match the right replacement parts and revisions for your refrigerator, especially for common wear items like a water filter, door bins, and defrost components.

For Kenmore Elite model 10658703801, the exact cubic-foot capacity is listed on the model’s specification information in the 10658703801 owner's manual. If you do not have the spec page handy, most full-size Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are typically in the 22 to 27 cu. ft. range.

How to find the capacity for your exact model

We recommend using the model-specific documentation because capacity can vary by door style, dispenser configuration, and interior layout.

• Check the specifications section in the 10658703801 owner's manual
• Look for terms like “capacity,” “total volume,” or “cubic feet (cu. ft.)”
• If the manual lists separate volumes, add refrigerator + freezer for total capacity
• Use the full model number 10658703801 when comparing specs or ordering parts

What “cubic feet” means (and what it does not)

Cubic feet is the interior storage volume, not the exterior size.

Measurement	What it describes	What it helps with
Capacity (cu. ft.)	Interior storage volume	Comparing storage space
Width/height/depth	Exterior dimensions	Fit in your kitchen opening
Shelf/bin layout	Usable space	How well items actually fit

Why it matters

Knowing the correct capacity helps when you are comparing replacement refrigerators, planning food storage, and choosing compatible accessories like a genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 for the dispenser system.

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life with normal use and basic maintenance. For the Kenmore Elite 10658703801 side-by-side refrigerator, keeping airflow clear and staying on top of routine care helps you reach the upper end of that range; see the 10658703801 owner's manual for model-specific care and operating guidance.

Typical lifespan and what to expect

Here is what we see most often for side-by-side refrigerators like this Kenmore Elite model:

Age of refrigerator	What’s common	What to do
0 to 5 years	Minor adjustments, occasional ice maker or dispenser issues	Keep vents clear, confirm temps
6 to 10 years	Wear items show up (seals, fans, controls)	Do preventive cleaning and inspections
10 to 15 years	Higher chance of major cooling-system or control failures	Compare repair cost vs. replacement
15+ years	“Bonus years” if well maintained	Plan for replacement if major sealed-system work is needed

Maintenance that extends life (and prevents breakdowns)

We recommend these habits for Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators:

• Clean the condenser area regularly so the compressor can shed heat efficiently.
• Keep door gaskets clean and sealing tightly; warm air leaks make the unit run longer.
• Avoid overpacking; blocked vents cause uneven cooling and frost issues.
• Set stable temperatures (typical targets: 0°F freezer, 37°F fresh food).
• Replace the water filter on schedule to protect water flow and taste; use the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 when it fits your setup.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs hot, runs constantly, or has air leaks usually fails sooner because the compressor, fans, and electronic controls work harder than they should. Simple upkeep reduces run time, improves temperature stability, and lowers the chance of expensive cooling problems.

When repair vs. replace makes sense

We typically recommend repair when the issue is a wear item (gasket, fan motor, light switch). Replacement becomes more attractive when the problem is in the sealed cooling system or when multiple major parts fail close together.
