What are the dimensions of a Kenmore refrigerator model 10674932401?
For Kenmore refrigerator model 10674932401, the cabinet measures 65 7/9 in. high without the hinge (about 66 in.), 66 3/4 in. high with the hinge, 32 1/8 in. deep without the handle, and 33 7/9 in. deep with the handle. For installation, also plan for required airflow clearances.
| Measurement | Size |
|---|---|
| Height (without hinge) | 65 7/9 in. |
| Height (with hinge) | 66 3/4 in. |
| Depth (without handle) | 32 1/8 in. |
| Depth (with handle) | 33 7/9 in. |
Even with the correct height and depth, the refrigerator needs space around it for ventilation and door swing. Our Kenmore documentation calls out these common clearances:
- Allow 1/2 in. space on each side and at the top for ventilation
- If installed next to a fixed wall, leave 2 in. minimum on the hinge side so the door can swing open
- If the unit has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connection
- Avoid installing near heat sources (oven, radiator)
- Do not install where temperatures fall below 55°F (13°C)
For the full placement and clearance diagram, use the 10674932401 owner's manual.
Accurate dimensions help you avoid tight fits that can pinch the water line, prevent doors from opening fully, or reduce airflow. Poor airflow can lead to warmer temperatures, longer run times, and frost or cooling complaints.

Is there a way to reset a Kenmore Elite refrigerator?
Yes. For Kenmore model 10674932401, the most reliable reset is a power reset: turn the temperature control to OFF, disconnect power for several minutes, then restore power and set the control back to your normal setting (per the 10674932401 owner's manual).
- Turn the refrigerator temperature control to OFF.
- Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet.
- Wait 5 to 10 minutes.
- Plug it back into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
- Set the temperature control back to the desired setting.
- Give cooling 30 minutes to restart normally after the reset.
A reset clears minor control glitches after a power interruption, door left open, or brief temperature swing. It will not correct an airflow blockage, a failed fan motor, or a defrost problem.
| Symptom after reset | Most common cause | What to check first |
|---|---|---|
| No lights, no cooling | No power to unit | Outlet, breaker/fuse, cord seated |
| Runs but warms up | Airflow or defrost issue | Vents blocked, frost buildup |
| Clicking or humming, no start | Start components | Run capacitor, compressor circuit |
| Ice maker not working | Water supply or valve | Water line, inlet valve, ice maker switch |
- Confirm the outlet is live and not controlled by a wall switch.
- Check the house breaker or fuse and reset/replace if needed.
- Make sure the temperature control is not set to OFF.
- If the unit is in an automatic defrost cycle, wait and recheck operation in 30 minutes.
- If you suspect a water-fill issue affecting ice production, inspect the water line and consider the refrigerator inlet valve WP2315576.
Resetting correctly prevents electrical shock risk and avoids misdiagnosing a simple power or control setting issue as a failed part. It also gets you back to a known-good baseline before troubleshooting the compressor, evaporator fan, or ice maker.

What is the upper part of a fridge called?
In a Kenmore top-mount refrigerator like model 10674932401, the upper part is the freezer compartment. It’s the section designed to keep foods frozen and it also supplies cold air that circulates down into the fresh food (refrigerator) section.
Most top-mount freezers include features like these:
- Freezer shelf (for organizing frozen foods)
- Pull-out freezer floor or bin area (on some designs)
- Air vents that move cold air through the freezer and into the refrigerator section
- Ice maker area (if equipped or if an ice maker is added)
For the exact feature list and layout for your unit, use the 10674932401 owner's manual.
When customers describe “the top part isn’t cold” or “the bottom is warm,” we treat that as an airflow and freezer-cooling issue first. On this model style, cold air enters and circulates through the freezer, then some of that air moves into the refrigerator section through vents.
- Freezer is cold but refrigerator is warm (often airflow or vent blockage)
- Frost buildup in freezer (can point to a defrost problem)
- No ice production (can be ice maker or water supply related)
| Section name | Location on this style | Main job |
|---|---|---|
| Freezer compartment | Upper section | Freezes food; drives cold-air circulation |
| Refrigerator compartment | Lower section | Keeps food chilled above freezing |
If your “upper part” question is tied to ice production, these are common ice-related components for this model:
Using the correct term (freezer compartment) helps us match the right diagrams, parts, and troubleshooting steps, especially for airflow, frost, and ice maker concerns.
