Kenmore 10674932401 refrigerator Parts

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.

Dimensions at a glance

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.

Installation clearances to plan for

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.

Why it matters

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.

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).

How to do a safe reset (recommended)

• 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.

What a reset can and cannot fix

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

If it still will not run after the reset

• 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.

Why it matters

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.

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.

What you’ll typically find in the upper (freezer) 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.

Why the freezer name matters for troubleshooting

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.

Common symptoms tied to the freezer compartment

• 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)

Quick reference: freezer vs. refrigerator section

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

Related parts customers often ask about

If your “upper part” question is tied to ice production, these are common ice-related components for this model:

• Ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943

Why it matters

Using the correct term (freezer compartment) helps us match the right diagrams, parts, and troubleshooting steps, especially for airflow, frost, and ice maker concerns.
