Whirlpool ED5JHEXTB10 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

The Whirlpool ED5JHEXTB10 is a full-size Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator. “How big” usually means two things: storage capacity (cubic feet) and exterior dimensions (width, height, depth). For this model, use your kitchen opening measurements and compare them to the refrigerator’s published specs before ordering delivery.

Measure the opening and the path into the kitchen; side-by-side doors need swing clearance.

• Opening width: measure top, middle, bottom between cabinets
• Opening height: floor to the lowest cabinet or soffit
• Depth: back wall to the front edge of counters (and note handle clearance)
• Door swing space: room to fully open doors and pull out bins
• Ventilation clearance: space behind and above for airflow

These ranges help you plan when you do not have the exact spec sheet in hand.

Use this to avoid common installation surprises.

• Confirm the refrigerator can clear doorways and hallways on the way in
• Check for water line access if you use the dispenser/ice maker
• Verify the unit can sit level on the floor (important for door sealing)
• Make sure doors can open without hitting an island or wall

A refrigerator can match your capacity needs but still not fit the cabinet opening or allow the doors to open fully. Measuring first prevents delivery-day issues and helps the refrigerator cool efficiently.

If you are planning to use the dispenser, replacing the filter on schedule helps maintain flow and taste; see refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

We size the Whirlpool ED5JHEXTB10 side-by-side refrigerator by its total interior volume (fresh food plus freezer). Most Whirlpool side-by-side models in this class are about 25 cubic feet total, and the exact number is listed on the model’s rating label inside the cabinet.

Look for the model and serial tag, then check the printed capacity value.

• Open the fresh food door and inspect the side wall near the crisper area.
• Check the ceiling area near the light housing if you do not see it on the side wall.
• Write down the “Total” capacity (cu. ft.) and, if shown, the refrigerator and freezer breakdown.
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in to read the capacity line.

Capacity helps you compare storage space across refrigerators, but usable space depends heavily on the shelf and bin configuration, plus whether the ice maker and ice container are installed.

If bins or pans are cracked, missing, or not sliding correctly, the refrigerator can feel smaller even though the rated capacity is unchanged.

• Refrigerator crisper pan WP2188656 (fresh food produce drawer)
• Refrigerator meat pan WP2188664 (deli/meat drawer)
• Refrigerator ice bin WPW10670845 (ice container in the freezer door or compartment)

The model number for your Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator is printed on the appliance’s model and serial tag; on ED5JHEXTB10 units, it’s typically inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment along the side wall or near the ceiling. Match that tag exactly when ordering parts.

Check these common tag locations first:

• Inside the refrigerator section on the left or right interior wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light housing
• Behind the crisper drawers on the side wall
• Along the door frame (hinge side) when the refrigerator door is open
• Occasionally behind the toe grille at the bottom front

Use the tag to capture the details we need for accurate part matching:

• Full model number (for example, ED5JHEXTB10)
• Serial number
• Any revision, suffix, or engineering code printed with the model
• Brand name (Whirlpool)

Whirlpool uses model variations that can change parts like the water filter, ice maker, door gasket, and inlet valve. Using the full model number helps ensure the diagrams and parts list match your exact build.

If the label is smudged, take a clear photo with the door open and the light on; then zoom in to confirm each character before ordering.
