Kenmore 10656724602 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10656724602, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label (the same label that lists the serial number). On most units, you will find this label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment along the side wall or near the ceiling.

Where to look first (fast checks)

• Open the refrigerator door and check the upper side walls inside the fresh food section
• Look near the top interior trim (close to the temperature control area)
• Check the side wall behind the crisper drawers (you may need to slide drawers out)
• If you do not see it in the refrigerator section, check the freezer compartment side wall
• Use a flashlight; the label is often small and easy to miss

What the label looks like

The ID label typically includes:

• Model number (for example, 10656724602)
• Serial number (a mix of letters and numbers)
• Electrical ratings (volts/amps)

For the exact label location and how it is referenced in service and parts diagrams, use the 10656724602 owner's manual.

Why it matters

Using the correct model number ensures we match the right Kenmore parts and diagrams for your exact refrigerator configuration (ice maker, dispenser style, shelving, and door parts). It also prevents ordering a look-alike part that will not fit.

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 32 to 36 inches wide; your Kenmore model 10656724602 fits that common range. For the exact cabinet width and required clearance for door swing, we recommend checking the dimensions section in the 10656724602 owner's manual.

Typical width and what to plan for

When you are measuring for a replacement or a tight kitchen opening, we plan for both the cabinet width and the extra space needed for ventilation and door swing.

• Typical side-by-side cabinet width: 32 to 36 in.
• Measure at the widest point (often the hinge side or handles)
• Leave ventilation space: 1/2 in. on each side and at the top (common guidance)
• If installed next to a fixed wall, allow about 2 in. minimum on the hinge side so the door can swing open
• If the unit has an ice maker, allow extra space behind for the water line connection

Quick measuring checklist (so you get the right number)

Use a tape measure and record all three measurements.

• Width: left to right across the cabinet (and then across handles, if present)
• Height: floor to top of cabinet (and to top hinge cover if it sticks up)
• Depth: back to front (cabinet only, then include doors and handles)

Clearance planning at a glance

These clearances help prevent poor airflow, rubbing doors, and hard-to-service water lines.

What you are planning for	Typical allowance	Why it matters
Side/top ventilation	1/2 in.	Helps the refrigerator cool efficiently
Next to a fixed wall	2 in. minimum (hinge side)	Lets doors open fully
Back clearance (ice maker/water line)	Extra space needed	Prevents kinked water tubing

Why it matters

Width alone is not the whole fit. A refrigerator that is “36 inches wide” on paper can still bind against cabinets if you do not account for door swing, leveling, and the water line for the dispenser and ice maker.

If you are also troubleshooting dispenser or ice maker performance while planning a move, we use the how to prevent water dispenser and ice maker problems guide to rule out common water supply and filter issues.

For Kenmore model 10656724602, the most reliable way to get the exact cubic-foot capacity is to read the refrigerator’s rating plate (usually inside the fresh food section). The model number helps identify the unit, but the capacity is confirmed in the product specifications listed in the 10656724602 owner's manual.

Fast ways to find the exact capacity

• Check the rating plate inside the refrigerator compartment (often on a side wall or near the crisper area). Capacity is commonly listed as “Total capacity” or “Cu. Ft.”
• Look in the specifications section of the 10656724602 owner's manual.
• If you are measuring for fit, use the manual’s installation clearance guidance as a cross-check for the refrigerator’s size and placement needs.

If you need a quick estimate (when the plate is hard to read)

Most Kenmore 106-series side-by-side refrigerators are commonly in the 20 to 26 cu. ft. range. Use this only for rough planning (like comparing models); use the rating plate or manual specs for the exact number.

Why the rating plate matters

The rating plate ties the exact configuration of your refrigerator (doors, dispenser, ice maker setup) to its official specifications. That is the number we use when matching parts like a water filter, ice maker, or electronic control.

Related specs people often confuse with capacity

Spec	What it tells you	Where to find it
Cubic feet (capacity)	Interior storage volume	Rating plate; 10656724602 owner's manual
Installation clearance	Space needed around the cabinet	10656724602 owner's manual
Electrical requirements	Outlet and circuit needs	10656724602 owner's manual

Water leaking from the bottom of your Kenmore 10656724602 side-by-side refrigerator is usually caused by a defrost drain that is clogged or frozen, which makes meltwater overflow and run onto the floor. It can also come from the water supply system (filter, tubing, or inlet valve) if a connection is loose or a part is leaking.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Look for a sheet of ice or standing water on the freezer floor (common with a blocked defrost drain).
• Check for water under the front grille area (often the drain pan overflow path).
• Inspect the water filter area and filter cap for drips.
• Pull the refrigerator out and look for a slow drip at the rear water line connection.
• If the leak happens after using the dispenser or ice maker, focus on the water supply components.

Most common cause: clogged or frozen defrost drain

During defrost, water should flow down the drain and into the drain pan. If the drain is blocked by ice or debris, water backs up and leaks out.

What to do

• Unplug the refrigerator.
• Remove items from the freezer floor area and check for ice buildup.
• Melt ice with warm water (turkey baster works well) and clear debris from the drain opening.
• Confirm water flows freely to the drain pan after clearing.

Water supply leaks (dispenser or ice maker related)

Your manual notes that one or two drops after dispensing can be normal, but steady dripping or puddles are not. Use the troubleshooting and water supply guidance in the 10656724602 owner's manual.

Parts that commonly cause leaks

Leak symptom	Most likely area	Part to consider
Drip at back of unit	Water line connection or valve	Refrigerator water inlet valve W10408179
Drip near filter housing	Filter not seated, damaged cap	Refrigerator water filter cap (black) WP2260518B
Slow flow, odd taste, leaks at filter	Clogged or misinstalled filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1

For step-by-step filter tips, we use the same process outlined in how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator.

Why it matters

Leaks can lead to floor damage, ice buildup in the freezer, and poor cooling if airflow paths get blocked. Fixing a drain restriction or a small valve leak early prevents bigger problems later.

On Kenmore model 10656724602, the ice maker usually stops making ice because it is switched OFF (wire shutoff arm up), the water supply valve is closed, the water line is kinked, or the unit has not had enough time after being turned on (24 hours for first ice, up to 72 hours for full production). Use the 10656724602 owner's manual to confirm the correct ON/OFF position and bin setup.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Make sure the wire shutoff arm is down (ON); do not force it.
• Confirm the household water shutoff valve is fully open.
• Straighten any kinks in the water source line behind the refrigerator.
• If it is a new install or was just turned on, wait 24 hours for first ice and 72 hours for normal output.
• Clear a cube jam at the ejector area using a plastic utensil.

Water flow and filtration problems

Restricted water flow can prevent the mold from filling.

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do
No ice at all	Valve closed, kinked line, ice maker OFF	Open valve, straighten line, turn ON
Small or hollow cubes	Low water flow, clogged filter	Improve flow, replace filter
Gray or off-tasting ice	Filter needs flushing or replacement	Flush system, replace filter

If your filter is overdue, replace it with the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

When a part is likely at fault

If the ice maker is ON and you have good water supply but the ice maker never fills, the inlet valve is a common failure point; replace the refrigerator water inlet valve W10408179. If the valve is working but the ice maker will not cycle, replace the refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965.

Why it matters

The ice maker depends on steady water flow and the shutoff arm being in the ON position; when either is wrong, the mold does not fill and ice production stops.
