Kenmore Elite 10651164210 refrigerator Parts

Your refrigerator model is Kenmore 10651164210. To confirm it on the appliance, match that number to the model and serial tag, which is typically on an inside wall of the fresh food section or freezer, or behind the lower crisper drawers or toe grille. Use the owner's manual for the exact tag locations and illustrations for this model.

Where to find the model tag on Kenmore 10651164210

Check these common spots first (look for a sticker or metal plate with MODEL and SERIAL):

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall near the front
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall
• On the wall behind or just above the lower crisper drawers
• Behind the toe grille (kick plate) at the bottom front
• Along the door frame area (open the door and look around the perimeter)

What to write down (so you get the right parts)

When you find the tag, record these details exactly:

• Full model number: 10651164210
• Serial number (helps with production date and revisions)
• Any additional codes (sometimes shown as type, engineering code, or revision)

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers that start with 106 often share a similar look, but parts can vary by revision. Using the exact model and serial from the tag helps us match the correct items like a water filter, air filter, ice maker, door gasket, or control board.

Kenmore Elite model 10651164210 is sold under the Kenmore brand; this model series is manufactured for Kenmore by Whirlpool. For model-specific identification details (including the data plate location and how to read it), use the owner's manual.

How to confirm the manufacturer on your exact unit

We recommend checking the model and serial tag on the refrigerator itself because it confirms the production source and helps match parts correctly.

• Look for the model/serial tag inside the fresh food compartment (commonly on a side wall, ceiling area, or near the crisper frame)
• Match the full model number exactly: 10651164210
• Record the serial number before ordering parts
• Use the model number when selecting parts like a water filter, ice maker, or control board

What the “106” prefix means (why it matters)

Kenmore model numbers that start with 106 are widely associated with Whirlpool-built platforms. That matters because it helps you choose the right style of replacement parts and troubleshooting steps for a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator.

To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 10651164210, we shut off power and the water supply, remove the ice bin, disconnect the ice maker wiring harness, then swap in the new assembly and restore water and power. Use the owner's manual for the exact access points and fastener locations.

Before you start (safety and prep)

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off the circuit breaker.
• Turn off the household water supply to the refrigerator.
• Empty the ice bin and remove it from the freezer door or shelf.
• Protect the floor with towels; a small amount of water can drip from the fill tube.
• Keep track of mounting screws; most side-by-side ice makers use 2 to 3 screws.

Replacement steps (typical side-by-side procedure)

1. Remove the ice bin and any shelf that blocks access.
2. Take off the ice maker cover (if equipped) to expose the harness plug.
3. Unplug the wiring harness connector.
4. Remove the mounting screws; lift the ice maker up and off the mounting tabs.
5. Transfer any parts that must match the old unit (commonly the wire shutoff arm, harness cover, or mounting bracket, if your replacement does not include them).
6. Install the new ice maker on the tabs, reinstall screws, and reconnect the harness.
7. Restore water and power; allow 12 to 24 hours for full ice production.

Quick checks if the new ice maker does not make ice

• Confirm the freezer is cold enough (target 0°F; ice makers often stop cycling above about 10°F).
• Make sure the fill tube is not frozen or blocked.
• Verify the water supply valve is fully open and the line is not kinked.
• Replace a restricted water filter if flow is weak (use refrigerator filter EDR1RXD1).
• If the dispenser and ice maker both have water issues, test the inlet valve (common options on this model include refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10341320 or refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10238100).

Parts that are commonly involved

Symptom	Most likely area	Example part on this model
No ice, no water at dispenser	Water supply/inlet valve	WPW10341320 or WPW10238100
Slow ice, hollow cubes	Restricted filtration	EDR1RXD1
Ice maker dead but dispenser works	Ice maker assembly or wiring	Refrigerator ice maker WPW10251076

Why it matters

A correct ice maker swap restores reliable ice production and prevents leaks caused by misaligned fill tubes, loose mounting screws, or a partially seated harness connection.

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite 10651164210 side-by-side refrigerator include warm temperatures from airflow or defrost issues, ice maker or dispenser failures, water leaks, and unusual noises. Many fixes start with cleaning, checking door seals, and replacing wear parts like filters.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coils, failed evaporator fan motor, frost buildup from a defrost problem, or a temperature sensor issue
• Freezer cold but refrigerator warm: airflow blockage, iced-over evaporator, or evaporator fan problem
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, clogged water filter, failed ice maker assembly, or inlet valve problem
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged filter, kinked water line, or inlet valve issue
• Water leaking: clogged defrost drain, loose water line connections, or door not sealing
• Noisy operation: evaporator fan blade rubbing ice, worn fan motor, or items vibrating inside

Parts that commonly solve these problems

If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these model-compatible parts are common fixes:

Problem area	Part to check/replace	What it affects
Water taste/flow, ice production	Refrigerator filter EDR1RXD1	Restriction can reduce dispenser flow and ice maker fill
Odors in fresh food section	Refrigerator air filter W10311524	Helps reduce food odors and stale air
Ice maker not cycling	Refrigerator ice maker WPW10251076	Restores ice harvest and fill sequence
No water to ice maker/dispenser	Refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10341320	Controls water flow into the refrigerator
Warm temps, noise, poor airflow	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549	Moves cold air through freezer and refrigerator

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

• Set temperatures to typical targets: 0°F freezer, 37°F refrigerator
• Clean condenser coils and confirm the condenser area has good airflow
• Make sure vents inside the compartments are not blocked by food packages
• Inspect door gaskets for gaps and confirm doors close fully
• If the unit is frosted over, defrosting can confirm a defrost-system problem pattern

Why it matters

Cooling, ice maker, and leak complaints often share the same root causes: restricted airflow, restricted water flow, or a sensor/defrost issue. Catching those early helps prevent food spoilage, ice buildup, and recurring puddles.

For model-specific operating details (controls, filter location, and care steps), use the owner's manual.
