Kenmore 10651335716 refrigerator Parts

To read a Kenmore refrigerator model number, we match the full number on the appliance ID tag (for this unit, 10651335716) to the correct Use and Care Guide and parts list; the tag is typically inside the fresh food compartment or freezer, or behind the base grille. Use the 10651335716 owner's manual to confirm the model family (106.5133*) and features.

Check these common locations on Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall
• On the frame behind the lower crisper drawer area
• Behind the base grille (kick plate) at the bottom front
• Along the door frame edge (open the door and look around the perimeter)

Kenmore model numbers are used mainly to identify who built the unit and which design series it belongs to. For this refrigerator, the manual lists the series as 106.5133* (the asterisk indicates a color code). That helps us select the correct parts and instructions.

Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong Kenmore refrigerator parts (like an ice maker, door switch, or water inlet valve) that may look similar but mount differently or use different wiring/connectors.

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (include all digits)
• If there is a serial number, record it too (helps with production changes)
• Compare the model number on the tag to the model shown on your manual cover
• When replacing dispenser or ice components, confirm whether your door has water dispensing

For Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators like model 10651335716, the typical cabinet opening width is 36 inches, and that is the standard width most side-by-side units are designed around. For exact clearance and door-swing needs, follow the spacing guidance in the 10651335716 owner's manual.

The installation requirements for this Kenmore side-by-side call out a 36 inch minimum cabinet cut-out width for installation, with additional width recommended in certain layouts.

• Minimum cabinet cut-out width: 36 in (91.44 cm)
• Recommended side and top ventilation clearance: 1/2 in (12.7 mm)
• Recommended rear clearance: 2 in (50.8 mm)
• If installed next to a fixed wall, allow at least 2 in on the wall side (varies by setup) for door swing

Even if the refrigerator fits a 36-inch opening, your kitchen layout can require extra space for access.

Width is not just about “will it fit”; it affects airflow, door swing, and whether you can remove bins and crispers for cleaning or replacement. Planning the right opening helps prevent cooling problems and avoids cabinet damage.

• Measure the cabinet opening width at the front and back
• Confirm rear clearance for the power cord and water line
• Check door swing clearance next to walls or islands
• Plan for leveling so doors close properly (leveling steps are in the 10651335716 owner's manual)

Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10651335716 has a total capacity of 21.9 cu. ft. Use the 10651335716 owner's manual to confirm the exact capacity listing for your 106.5133* color variation and to see how the space is allocated between the refrigerator and freezer.

Capacity is the combined interior volume of both compartments.

• It includes refrigerator + freezer space
• It is a volume measurement, not a shelf-by-shelf usable space guarantee
• Door bins, ice storage, and shelf positions can reduce usable room
• An installed ice maker and bin typically reduce freezer storage

If you want to match the spec to your exact unit, check these common locations:

• The model and serial tag inside the fresh food section (side wall or ceiling area)
• The Use & Care Guide specifications section in the manual
• Any tech sheet stored behind the toe grille or rear service panel (varies by build)

Knowing the correct cubic feet helps you compare side-by-side refrigerators accurately, plan food storage, and choose correctly sized replacement items such as bins and drawers.

Most Kenmore refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life; a well-maintained Kenmore 10651335716 side-by-side can often reach the upper end of that range when airflow, seals, and temperatures are kept in check. For model-specific care and cleaning steps, follow the 10651335716 owner's manual.

A refrigerator’s lifespan is mainly driven by heat management, door sealing, and how hard the sealed system has to work.

• Condenser coil cleanliness (dirty coils raise compressor run time)
• Door gasket condition (air leaks cause frost and warm temps)
• Stable temperature settings (avoid frequent extreme adjustments)
• Ice maker and dispenser use (more cycling means more wear)
• Room conditions (hot garages and tight cabinets shorten life)

Use this as a simple routine to help your Kenmore side-by-side last longer.

• Vacuum or brush condenser coils regularly
• Confirm doors close fully and the gaskets seal all the way around
• Keep vents inside the refrigerator and freezer unblocked
• Replace clogged water filters on schedule (restricted flow strains the water system)
• Address new noises early (fan, ice maker, or compressor strain)

When a refrigerator starts running longer to hold temperature, energy use goes up and parts like the compressor, evaporator fan, and defrost system wear faster. Basic cleaning and sealing checks are the easiest way to protect the most expensive components.
