Kenmore 59651673100 26" side-by-side refrigerator Parts

You typically can’t read the exact cubic-foot capacity directly from the Kenmore model number 59651673100. The most reliable way is to look up the capacity in the specifications section of the 59651673100 owner's manual, or calculate an estimate by measuring the usable interior space.

Fast ways to get the cubic feet

• Check the specs in the manual: Look for “capacity” or “cubic feet” in the features/specifications pages of the 59651673100 owner's manual.
• Use the model tag to confirm you have the right unit: On this model, the manual notes the model/serial label is inside the refrigerator section on the left wall.
• Estimate by measuring the interior (good when shelves/bins differ from unit to unit).

How to estimate cubic feet by measuring

1. Empty the section you’re measuring (fresh food and freezer are usually listed separately, plus a total).
2. Measure usable interior:
   • Width (inches)
   • Height (inches)
   • Depth (inches)
3. Multiply: W × H × D = cubic inches
4. Convert to cubic feet: cubic inches ÷ 1728 = cubic feet

Quick conversion table

What you have	Convert to cubic feet
Cubic inches	Divide by 1728
Cubic feet	Multiply by 1728

What the “596” prefix means (and what it doesn’t)

For Kenmore refrigerators, the prefix (like 596) helps identify the manufacturing source family, but it does not consistently encode the exact capacity. Capacity varies by cabinet size, insulation thickness, and interior configuration.

Why it matters

Knowing cubic feet helps you compare refrigerator sizes, choose the right storage layout, and confirm fit when replacing major items like the refrigerator compressor or refrigerator fan motor (airflow and cooling performance depend on the correct system design for the cabinet).

On Kenmore model 59651673100 side-by-side refrigerators, the water filter is located inside the refrigerator compartment, typically at the upper-right area of the fresh food section behind a small filter cover. For the exact location and removal steps for your configuration, use the 59651673100 owner's manual.

How to find it quickly

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door.
• Look along the top-right interior wall or ceiling area.
• Check for a small flip-down or push-button filter door.
• If you see a blue bypass cap, the filter is currently bypassed (no cartridge installed).
• If the filter housing looks empty, confirm the cartridge is not removed for troubleshooting.

How to remove and reinstall the filter (typical steps)

1. Dispense a little water first to relieve pressure (if your dispenser is working).
2. Open the filter cover.
3. Turn or pull the cartridge out (style varies by housing).
4. Install the new cartridge fully seated, then close the cover.
5. Flush the system by dispensing 2 to 3 glasses of water.

If water does not dispense right after a filter change

During initial use or after replacing the filter, a short delay is normal while the internal reservoir refills.

Symptom	Most common cause	What we do next
No water for 1 to 2 minutes	Tank refilling after service	Keep the lever pressed; wait, then try again
Bad taste/odor after sitting	Stagnant water in lines	Flush 2 to 3 glasses; replace filter if needed
Filter was frozen	Cartridge/media damaged	Replace the filter cartridge

Why it matters

Knowing the correct filter location helps you replace it on schedule, restore water flow, and prevent taste and odor issues caused by an overdue cartridge.

If the ice maker in your Kenmore 59651673100 is not making ice, the most common causes are the ice maker shutoff arm being up, the freezer not cold enough yet, a closed/kinked water supply line, low water pressure, or a clogged water filter. Use the checks below and confirm the setup steps in the owner's manual.

Quick checks (fastest fixes first)

• Make sure the ice bin is installed and the ice maker arm is down (on).
• Confirm the freezer door fully closes; on this design, opening the freezer door removes power from the controls.
• If the refrigerator was just installed or the bin was emptied, allow about 24 hours for the first full ice production.
• Discard ice made in the first 12 hours after initial start-up to flush the system.
• Check the household water line for kinks and verify the shutoff valve is fully open.

Water supply and pressure requirements

Your refrigerator needs adequate water pressure for the inlet valve to fill the ice maker mold.

• Working range: 20 to 100 psi
• Recommended minimum (especially with a filter): 35 psi

What you see	Likely cause	What we do next
No ice at all	Water not reaching valve, shutoff arm up, or freezer not cold	Verify arm down, check line for kinks, confirm freezer temp
Small or malformed cubes	Low water pressure or restricted flow	Check pressure, replace filter if restricted
Ice production is slow	Normal after install or heavy use	Wait 24 hours for the bin to restock

Parts that commonly fix “no ice” symptoms

If the basic checks pass (arm down, freezer cold, water supply on) and the ice maker still will not cycle or fill, these model-compatible parts are common repair paths:

• Refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q if the module will not harvest or the mold never fills
• Refrigerator valve WP12544002 if water is not entering the ice maker (and pressure is good)
• Refrigerator tube WP2300868 if the fill tube is blocked, cracked, or leaking

Why it matters

An ice maker depends on three things working together: freezer temperature (0 to 2°F is the target range for operation), water flow/pressure, and the ice maker’s internal cycling. A problem in any one of these areas stops ice production.
