How to identify a refrigerator model?
To identify your Kenmore refrigerator model, find the model and serial number label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment; on Kenmore model 10677062791, the label is typically on a side wall. Record both numbers exactly as shown for parts lookup and service records (see the owner's manual).
Where to look on model 10677062791
Check these common label locations first:
- Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
- Near the crisper drawers area (still on an interior side wall)
- Behind the base grille area for the tech sheet (do not remove permanent labels)
- On the cabinet frame just inside the door opening
What to write down (and why)
We recommend copying the information exactly as printed:
- Complete model number (for correct parts diagrams and compatibility)
- Serial number (helps identify production details)
- Purchase date (useful for your records)
Quick reference table
| Item | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts to your exact refrigerator | 10677062791 |
| Serial number | Identifying the specific unit | Letters and numbers |
| Purchase date | Service and maintenance records | Month/day/year |
Tips to avoid common mistakes
- Use a flashlight; labels can be faint or partially hidden by shelves.
- Copy every digit; missing a single number can pull the wrong Kenmore parts list.
- If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in to confirm characters.
Why it matters
Kenmore refrigerators often share similar styling across multiple series, but parts like an ice maker, thermostat, or door gasket can vary by model. Using the exact model number helps ensure you get the right replacement the first time.

Is there a reset button on a Kenmore refrigerator?
Most Kenmore 10677062791 refrigerators do not have a dedicated “reset” button; the practical reset is a power reset. Turn the refrigerator control to OFF, unplug the unit for 5 to 10 minutes, then plug it back in and return the control to your normal setting (see the owner's manual).
How to reset (power cycle) your Kenmore 10677062791
- Turn the refrigerator control to OFF.
- Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
- Wait 5 to 10 minutes to let the control circuits fully discharge.
- Plug the refrigerator back in.
- Set the refrigerator control back to the desired temperature setting.
Quick checks before and after the reset
- Confirm the cord is firmly plugged into a working outlet.
- Check the house breaker or fuse and reset/replace if needed.
- Give the refrigerator up to 30 minutes to resume normal operation after a defrost cycle.
- Make sure the control is not still set to OFF.
- Listen for fans and compressor start-up; cooling can take several hours to fully stabilize.
When a “reset” will not fix the problem
A power reset helps clear minor control glitches, but it will not correct a failed component. If you still have no cooling, no ice, or repeated issues, these parts are common suspects on this model:
| Symptom | Common area to check | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| No ice production | Ice maker system | Ice maker assembly 4317943 |
| Water dispenser weak or no water | Water supply/valve | Refrigerator inlet valve WP2315576 |
| Frost buildup, warm temps | Defrost system timing | Refrigerator defrost timer W10822278 |
| Interior light issues | Door switch/lighting | Refrigerator light switch W11384469 |
Why it matters
Resetting the refrigerator the right way (control OFF, then unplugging) protects you and prevents false troubleshooting. It also helps you distinguish a temporary control issue from a real failure in the defrost system, ice maker, or water inlet valve.

What is the most expensive part to replace on a refrigerator?
For a Kenmore refrigerator like model 10677062791, the most expensive single part to replace is typically the compressor because it is part of the sealed cooling system and the repair usually involves specialized labor. High-cost repairs can also include sealed-system work and some electronic controls.
Most expensive refrigerator repairs (what to expect)
These are the repairs that most often drive the highest total cost (parts plus labor):
- Compressor replacement (sealed-system repair)
- Sealed-system leaks or restrictions (refrigerant-related work)
- Condenser fan or motor issues that cause overheating and poor cooling
- Control or temperature regulation problems that keep the unit from cycling correctly
- Ice maker system repairs when multiple components are involved (valve, ice maker, water line)
For this model, a compressor is available as refrigerator compressor W10309988.
Cost comparison: common parts vs. big-ticket parts
Actual totals vary by symptom and labor, but this is the typical cost pattern.
| Repair type | Typical cost level | Why it gets expensive |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor / sealed system | Highest | Specialized tools, sealed-system labor, longer repair time |
| Major motors (condenser fan) | High | More labor, access, and diagnosis time |
| Ice maker assembly | Medium | Usually a straightforward swap if water supply is OK |
| Thermostat / timer / switches | Lower to medium | Less labor, simpler diagnosis |
Why it matters
When the compressor or sealed system is involved, the refrigerator may run longer, cool poorly, or get noisy because the system cannot move heat efficiently. The owner's manual also points out that dirty condenser coils or blocked airflow can make the motor work harder, which can mimic bigger problems.
Before you assume it is the compressor
We recommend these quick checks first because they can prevent unnecessary parts replacement:
- Clean the base grille area and make sure airflow is not blocked
- Clean condenser coils (if accessible on your design)
- Confirm doors seal fully; a leak can cause long run times
- Verify the temperature settings and allow 24 hours after changes
- If the ice maker is acting up, check for leaks and water supply issues
