Where can I find discontinued refrigerator parts?
For Kenmore model 10658439700, the best way to find discontinued refrigerator parts is to search by the exact model number and part number, then compare the part description to confirm fit. Start with the parts list for this model, then expand your search on Sears PartsDirect if you need additional options.
- Search using the model number 10658439700 plus the part number (from your old part label or diagram).
- Check for a replacement or substitute part number listed for the original part.
- Compare photos, mounting points, and electrical connectors before ordering.
- If the part is part of a kit or assembly, search the assembly name (for example, “ice maker” or “water inlet valve”).
- Use the troubleshooting section in the owner's manual to confirm the symptom before buying parts.
If your issue involves water, ice, or cooling performance, these are commonly replaced items we see for Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators like 10658439700:
| Symptom | Part to check | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| No water at dispenser or no ice | Water inlet valve | Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 |
| Bad-tasting water or slow flow | Water filter and cap | Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 and refrigerator water filter cap (black) WP2260518B |
| Ice maker not producing ice | Ice maker assembly | Refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965 |

How many cubic feet is my Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658439700 has its exact capacity (cubic feet) listed in the specifications section of the 10658439700 owner's manual. If you need a quick confirmation without paperwork, the model and serial rating label inside the fresh food compartment typically lists key specs for this unit.
We recommend checking in this order because it is the most reliable:
- Owner's manual specs: Look for “Product data sheet” or “Specifications” in the 10658439700 owner's manual.
- Rating label: Check the label inside the refrigerator section (often on a side wall near the crisper area).
- Measure and estimate (backup method): If labels are missing, you can estimate interior volume, but it is less accurate because shelves, bins, and ducting reduce usable space.
The manual for this Kenmore 106 series refrigerator includes a “Product data sheet” section (listed in the table of contents). That section is where capacity is normally stated along with electrical and water system specs. Use the 10658439700 owner's manual and search within the PDF for:
- “Product data sheet”
- “Capacity”
- “Cu. ft.”
- “Specifications”
If you must estimate, use this as a practical approach:
- Measure interior width x interior height x interior depth (in inches) of the fresh food section.
- Do the same for the freezer section.
- Add both volumes and convert to cubic feet.
| What you measure | Convert to cubic feet |
|---|---|
| Cubic inches (W x H x D) | Divide by 1,728 |
Knowing cubic feet helps you match the right accessories and expectations for performance, including storage planning and maintenance items like a refrigerator water filter. If you are ordering filtration parts for this model, we stock options such as the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 and you can also search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

How wide is a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator?
Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 32 to 36 inches wide; your Kenmore 10658439700 falls in that common range. For the exact cabinet width and required clearances for your specific unit, use the dimensions and installation section in the 10658439700 owner's manual.
Side-by-side refrigerator widths vary mainly by capacity and whether the unit is standard-depth or counter-depth.
- Common standard width: 33 in. to 36 in.
- Narrower models: around 32 in. to 33 in.
- Less common wider models: around 36 in. and up
- Door swing and handles can add usable space needs beyond cabinet width
| Measurement | What it means | Typical value |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet width | Box width without extra clearance | 32 to 36 in. |
| Space needed for ventilation | Air gap at sides and top | 1/2 in. each side and top |
| Space for door swing near a wall | Extra room so doors open fully | 2 in. minimum on the wall side |
Use a tape measure and check in a few places because doors and trim can vary.
- Measure the cabinet left-to-right at the widest point (usually near the front edges).
- Measure with doors closed; do not include the open-door arc.
- If you are fitting into a cutout, also measure depth and height.
- Add clearance for airflow and door swing (especially if installed next to a fixed wall).
Getting the width right prevents installation problems like doors that cannot open fully, poor ventilation that hurts cooling performance, and water line pinch points for the ice maker.
If you are removing doors to fit through a doorway, protect the water filter housing and cap area; the refrigerator water filter cap (black) WP2260518B is a common trim piece that can get misplaced during handling.

What's the average lifespan of a Kenmore refrigerator?
Most Kenmore refrigerators last 12 to 15 years. With steady upkeep on your Kenmore 10658439700 side-by-side refrigerator (especially cleaning and airflow), it’s common to reach that range and often go beyond it; the best model-specific care steps are in the owner's manual.
A refrigerator’s service life is driven more by operating conditions and maintenance than by the badge on the door.
- Condenser coil cleanliness (dirty coils run hotter and stress the compressor)
- Door seal condition (air leaks increase run time and frost)
- Room temperature and ventilation around the cabinet
- Ice maker and water system health (valves, filters, and supply pressure)
- How full it runs and how often doors are opened
These are the highest-impact habits for a side-by-side like model 10658439700:
- Vacuum and brush condenser coils regularly
- Keep the base grille area clear for airflow
- Confirm doors close fully and gaskets seal evenly
- Replace the water filter on schedule (restricted flow can strain the water system)
- Use the correct water supply conditions (cold water line, proper pressure)
| Item | Good target | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Expected lifespan | 12 to 15 years | Typical service life for most refrigerators |
| Water pressure (if plumbed) | 30 to 120 psi | Helps dispenser and ice maker operate correctly |
| Water temperature | 33°F to 100°F | Supports proper filtration and flow |
If the refrigerator is cooling well but you have a single-system issue, replacing a common wear item is often the fastest way to extend life.
| Symptom | Common part area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Slow water flow or bad taste | Filtration | Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 |
| No ice or weak fill | Water supply control | Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 |
| Frost buildup, warm temps | Defrost system | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 |
You can order replacement parts from the parts list for model 10658439700, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
A refrigerator that runs longer than necessary uses more electricity and wears out sealed-system components faster. Simple airflow, sealing, and water-system maintenance helps your Kenmore side-by-side stay efficient and dependable for its full expected lifespan.
