Kenmore 10651754710 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore model 10651754710 side-by-side refrigerators, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label (the same label that lists the serial number). The exact label location varies by door style, but it is typically found inside the fresh food compartment around the door opening.

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door and inspect the cabinet frame around the opening
• Check the side walls just inside the fresh food compartment
• Look near the top front edge of the liner (inside, above the shelves)
• If you do not see it, check the freezer door opening frame as well
• Use a flashlight; the label is often small and easy to miss

The ID label usually includes both a model number and a serial number. The serial number format can vary, so use the model number to match parts and documentation.

We use the model number to ensure you get the correct Kenmore refrigerator parts (like an ice maker, water inlet valve, or evaporator fan motor) because similar-looking side-by-side units can use different components.

For model-specific diagrams and identification details, use the 10651754710 owner's manual.

When a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10651754710 stops cooling, the most common causes are loss of power, temperature controls set incorrectly, doors not sealing, or blocked air vents that prevent cold air from circulating. Use the troubleshooting steps in the 10651754710 owner's manual to narrow it down quickly.

• Confirm the refrigerator is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet (no extension cord or adapter).
• Check the outlet has power (plug in a lamp); reset the breaker or replace a blown fuse if needed.
• Make sure both doors close fully; warm air entering can make temperatures rise.
• Clear packages away from air vents in both compartments.
• If it was just installed or restarted, allow 24 hours to cool completely.

If power and airflow are good but temperatures keep climbing, a failed cooling component is likely. Common suspects on side-by-side refrigerators include the evaporator fan system and sealed-system components.

• If you hear unusual fan noise or have weak airflow, inspect the fan area for ice buildup and check the evaporator fan.
• If the fan motor is not running when it should, replacement is often the fix.

Helpful model-matched parts to consider:

• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549 (moves cold air through the freezer and into the fresh food section)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142 (damaged blades reduce airflow and can cause noise)

A side-by-side relies on steady airflow from the freezer to keep both sides cold. Power issues, door leaks, or blocked vents stop that airflow, so temperatures rise even if the compressor seems to run.

The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10651754710 are ice maker failures, weak or leaking water dispensing, poor cooling, frost buildup, and unusual noises. Many of these problems trace back to airflow (evaporator fan), water supply (filter or inlet valve), or door switch and sealing issues; use the 10651754710 owner's manual to match symptoms to the correct checks.

• Ice maker not making ice: low water pressure, clogged filter, failed ice maker module
• Not cooling or warm temperatures: evaporator fan not running, blocked vents, dirty condenser coils
• Water leaking or dripping at dispenser: air in lines after filter change, filter installed wrong, low pressure
• Noisy operation: evaporator fan blade hitting ice, worn fan motor, items vibrating
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged filter, dispenser lock enabled, inlet valve issue
• Frost buildup in freezer: door not sealing, door left ajar, airflow restrictions

1. Confirm controls are set correctly and the dispenser is not locked.
2. Check door closure and gaskets; make sure bins and shelves are not preventing a full seal.
3. Look for blocked air vents inside the fresh food and freezer sections.
4. If water flow is weak, replace or reinstall the water filter and flush the system.
5. Listen for the evaporator fan; a loud scraping sound often means ice contact.

Cooling, ice, and water issues often share the same root causes: restricted airflow or restricted water flow. Fixing the underlying cause first prevents repeat failures and helps protect major components like the compressor.

For model-specific operating steps (including dispenser behavior, filter flushing, and water supply notes), follow the 10651754710 owner's manual.

If your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10651754710 is not cooling, runs constantly, or makes new loud noises, the compressor can be the cause, but many “bad compressor” symptoms are also caused by airflow, defrost, or sealed-system issues. Use the checks below and confirm normal sounds in the 10651754710 owner's manual.

• Refrigerator and freezer temperatures keep rising even though the unit runs.
• The compressor tries to start, then clicks off repeatedly (start attempt, then stop).
• You hear a persistent loud buzzing or unusual knocking that is not typical for this model.
• The compressor shell is extremely hot and cooling performance is poor.
• The refrigerator seems to run far more than normal even after 24 hours of stable use.

Before condemning the compressor, we check these items because they can mimic compressor failure:

• Condenser coils: dirty coils cause long run times and warm temps.
• Condenser fan (if equipped): not running can overheat the compressor.
• Evaporator fan: weak or stopped airflow can cause warm refrigerator temps; inspect the refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549 and refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142.
• Defrost system: heavy frost on the evaporator can block airflow and reduce cooling.
• Door sealing and loading: frequent door openings or a door left ajar increases run time (the manual notes longer run time can be normal with warm rooms, large food loads, or frequent openings).

Your 10651754710 uses an energy-efficient design; the manual explains the refrigerator may run longer than older models and can make unfamiliar but normal sounds. Typical normal sounds include:

A true compressor or sealed-system failure is a higher-skill repair and is often misdiagnosed. Ruling out airflow (fans), frost blockage, and overheating first prevents replacing expensive parts unnecessarily.

For Kenmore model 10651754710, the most accurate way to get cubic feet is to look up the capacity in the specifications section of the 10651754710 owner's manual. Model numbers can hint at a series, but they do not reliably encode the exact interior volume.

• Check the specs in the manual: This is the cleanest match to your exact model.
• Read the rating plate: Many refrigerators list capacity on the model and serial tag inside the fresh food section.
• Measure and estimate (backup method): Use interior dimensions to estimate cubic feet if you cannot access specs.
• Compare within the same model family: The manual cover shows this unit is in the 106.5175* family; capacity varies by configuration and revision.

We use this only as a fallback because shelves, bins, and ducting reduce usable space.

1. Measure interior width, height, and depth (in inches) of the refrigerator compartment and freezer compartment.
2. Multiply each compartment: W x H x D to get cubic inches.
3. Add both compartments.
4. Convert to cubic feet: divide by 1,728.

Cubic feet helps us match the right door bins, shelves, crisper pans, and ice maker parts for your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator, and it also helps when comparing replacement units.

Most Kenmore refrigerators last 10 to 15 years; with consistent maintenance, many units reach 15 to 20 years. For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10651754710, routine care like cleaning condenser coils and keeping door seals tight is what most directly extends service life (see the 10651754710 owner's manual).

• Clean condenser coils regularly so the compressor runs cooler and less often.
• Confirm doors seal tightly; warm air leaks force longer run times and frost buildup.
• Keep vents clear inside both compartments for steady airflow.
• Maintain correct temperatures (steady settings reduce cycling and icing).
• Fix water and ice issues early to prevent leaks, clogs, and ice buildup.

These are common wear items that can restore performance when symptoms show up:

• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549 (airflow and cooling consistency)
• Refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10179146 (ice maker and dispenser water supply)
• Refrigerator ice maker assembly WPW10300022 (ice production and harvesting)

A refrigerator that runs warmer, runs constantly, or builds frost is usually working harder than it should. That extra run time accelerates wear on the compressor, fans, and defrost system, which shortens overall lifespan.
