Kenmore 10657903700 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 32 to 36 inches wide; your Kenmore 10657903700 is in that typical range. For the exact cabinet width and the clearance needed for door swing and ventilation, use the dimensions listed in the owner's manual.

Most side-by-side refrigerator widths fall into these common buckets:

• 32 to 33 inches: narrower cabinets, tighter kitchen cutouts
• 35 to 36 inches: most common full-size side-by-side width
• 42 inches: built-in style (less common)

Even if the cabinet width fits, you still need room for airflow and the doors to open.

• Plan for 1/2 inch of space on each side and at the top for ventilation
• If the refrigerator sits next to a fixed wall, allow at least 2 inches on the hinge side so the door can swing open
• If you have an ice maker, allow extra space behind the unit for the water line

• Measure the widest point of the cabinet (usually across the doors)
• Measure at front and back (walls can be out of square)
• If you are replacing an older unit, measure the opening and compare to the refrigerator’s listed dimensions

Width is only part of fit. Side-by-side refrigerators need ventilation space and door-swing clearance; skipping those clearances can cause poor cooling performance and everyday usability problems.

For your Kenmore 10657903700 side-by-side refrigerator, we recommend setting the fresh food (refrigerator) section to 37°F and the freezer to 0°F. After any adjustment, give the controls about 24 hours to stabilize before deciding whether to change them again (see the 10657903700 owner's manual).

• Refrigerator: 37°F (food stays fresh without freezing)
• Freezer: 0°F (best for ice production and long-term storage)
• Convertible meat drawer (if used for meat): 28°F to 32°F (meat-chilling range noted in the manual)

• Put a refrigerator thermometer in a glass of water on a middle shelf; check after 24 hours.
• Put a freezer thermometer between frozen items; check after 24 hours.
• If food is freezing in the refrigerator, raise the temperature slightly (warmer setting).
• If ice cream is soft or ice production is slow, lower the freezer temperature slightly (colder setting).
• Keep vents inside the compartments unblocked so cold air can circulate.

Correct temperatures reduce food spoilage, prevent accidental freezing in the fresh food section, and help the ice maker and water dispenser perform consistently.

If you are also replacing your filter while dialing in taste and flow, the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 is a common maintenance item for this model.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10657903700, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label (the same label that lists the serial number). Check the label locations shown in the 10657903700 owner's manual to match what you see on your unit.

We typically see the model and serial label in one of these spots on a side-by-side refrigerator:

• Inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall
• Along the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light housing
• On the door frame (hinge side) when you open the refrigerator door
• Behind the base grille area at the bottom front (less common, but possible)
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall (occasionally)

The identification label usually includes both a model number and a serial number. Write down both exactly as shown; they help us match the correct Kenmore parts list and diagrams.

Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators can look similar across multiple model numbers, but parts like the water filter, ice maker, and inlet valve can vary by model. Using the exact model number helps ensure you get the right replacement part the first time.

• Look for a white or silver sticker, not a stamped plate
• Use a flashlight and check the door frame edges carefully
• Remove items from the top shelf so you can inspect the ceiling area
• If the label is worn, copy the clearest characters first, then compare to the format shown in the manual

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10657903700 are cooling issues, water leaks, ice maker or dispenser failures, and unusual noises. These usually trace back to airflow problems, a defrost-system fault, or a water-supply component that is restricted or failing; use the 10657903700 owner's manual troubleshooting section to narrow it down.

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan not running, or a defrost problem causing ice buildup
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged defrost drain, cracked water line, or a leaking inlet valve
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, inlet valve problem, or ice maker assembly failure
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged water filter, frozen water tube, or inlet valve restriction
• Buzzing, rattling, or clicking: fan blade hitting ice, failing fan motor, or compressor start components

1. Confirm temperatures: set fresh food to about 37°F and freezer to about 0°F.
2. Clean condenser coils: poor heat release is a top cause of weak cooling.
3. Check door sealing: look for gaps, torn gasket areas, or doors not closing fully.
4. Inspect for frost buildup on the freezer back panel (points to defrost issues).
5. Verify water supply: the manual notes the refrigerator must be connected to a cold water pipe, and water temperature can take up to 24 hours to cool after installation or heavy use.

When symptoms match, these are frequently replaced parts for model 10657903700:

Catching the root cause early prevents food spoilage, reduces compressor run time, and helps avoid repeat failures (for example, a clogged filter can mimic a bad inlet valve, and a frosted evaporator can mimic a sealed-system cooling problem).

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10657903700, a “stopped cooling” problem is usually caused by loss of power, the refrigerator control being set to OFF, blocked air vents that prevent airflow between compartments, or a failed cooling component such as the evaporator fan or defrost system. Use the checks in the owner's manual to pinpoint the cause.

• Confirm the power cord is fully plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Test the outlet by plugging in a lamp.
• Reset a tripped breaker or replace a blown fuse.
• Make sure the refrigerator control is ON (the unit will not cool if the control is set to OFF).
• Check that food packages are not blocking the freezer bottom air inlet or the refrigerator top vent.
• If this is a new install or the unit was unplugged, allow 24 hours to cool before judging performance.

Your 10657903700 is designed to circulate cold air from the freezer into the fresh food section and back again. When vents are blocked, temperatures rise and moisture issues can follow.

• Frosted-over vents or weak airflow at the refrigerator top vent
• Items packed tightly against the back wall (especially on models with multiple rear vents)
• Warm refrigerator section while the freezer seems closer to normal

If power and venting are good and temperatures keep climbing, these are common culprits:

A refrigerator that is not cooling can spoil food quickly, and blocked airflow can also create temperature swings that make the compressor and fans run longer than normal. Restoring proper airflow and correct control settings prevents repeat problems.
