Kenmore 10659592993 refrigerator Parts

The Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10659592993 size is defined by its exact total capacity (cubic feet) and cabinet dimensions (height, width, depth) listed in the 10659592993 owner's manual. Use that spec section, then measure your space to confirm fit and door clearance.

What to check for “how big”

Use these items to match your kitchen opening and delivery path:

• Total capacity (cu. ft.): overall storage volume
• Width: cabinet width; note handles can add extra
• Height: floor to top of hinge area; leveling legs affect this
• Depth: cabinet depth; doors and handles change the “in-use” depth
• Clearances: space for airflow and door swing

How to measure your space (and the refrigerator)

Measure the opening first, then compare to the manual specs.

• Measure width, height, and depth in at least three spots (top, middle, bottom)
• Include baseboards, trim, and countertops that can reduce the opening
• If moving through a doorway, measure the narrowest point and compare to refrigerator width
• Plan for door swing so bins and shelves can open fully

Typical planning clearances (use the manual for exact requirements)

Location	Common clearance to plan	Why it matters
Sides	1 in.	Prevents rubbing and improves airflow
Top	1 in.	Helps ventilation and leveling
Back	1 to 2 in.	Protects water line and improves airflow

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents installation headaches, protects the water line to the dispenser, and helps avoid cooling issues caused by restricted airflow. It also helps when replacing interior storage parts like the refrigerator crisper pan WP2188656.

The most common issues we see with the Kenmore 10659592993 side-by-side refrigerator involve ice maker and water dispensing problems, warm temperatures from airflow or defrost faults, and door sealing or alignment issues that cause frost and temperature swings. Use the owner's manual for model-specific checks and settings.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Ice maker not making ice: shutoff arm position, frozen fill tube, low water pressure, or a failing ice maker
• No water from dispenser: clogged filter path, frozen reservoir line, or a weak inlet valve
• Refrigerator warm but freezer cold: restricted airflow, iced evaporator, or evaporator fan issues
• Frost buildup or moisture: door gasket not sealing, door not closing squarely, or frequent openings
• Water puddles: defrost drain restriction or a leaking water line connection

Quick checks you can do first

1. Confirm temperatures: set refrigerator to about 37°F and freezer to about 0°F.
2. Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Check door closing: look for gaps, torn gasket areas, or a door that “springs” back.
4. For ice and water: verify the household shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
5. If cooling is weak: listen for the evaporator fan running when the freezer door switch is pressed.

Parts that commonly solve these problems

Symptom	Common part involved	What it does
No ice or small cubes	Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179	Controls water flow to ice maker and dispenser
Ice maker dead or inconsistent	Ice maker assembly 4317943	Cycles to harvest and refill ice
Frost, warm temps, long run times	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581	Senses evaporator temp for defrost control
Door not closing smoothly	Refrigerator door cam (black) WP2182179	Helps the door lift and close properly

Why it matters

These issues affect food safety, ice quality, and energy use. Fixing airflow, defrost, and water-supply problems early prevents heavier frost buildup, warm spots, and repeat ice maker failures.
