What model is my Kenmore 10651164210 refrigerator?
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.

Quick reference
| What you see | What it indicates | Why you care |
|---|---|---|
| Kenmore branding | Retail brand name | Parts are still model-specific |
| Model prefix 106 | Whirlpool-built platform | Common Whirlpool-style components |
| Exact model 10651164210 | Your precise configuration | Ensures correct fit and compatibility |
Parts that commonly match this platform
When you are maintaining or repairing this refrigerator, these are common replacement items for this model family:
- Water filtration: refrigerator filter EDR1RXD1
- Odor control: refrigerator air filter W10311524
- Ice production: refrigerator ice maker WPW10251076
Why it matters
Knowing who built the platform helps us narrow down the correct parts and the most likely troubleshooting paths (for example, dispenser issues, ice maker problems, or airflow and cooling complaints) while still matching everything to 10651164210.

How to replace an ice maker in a 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)
- Remove the ice bin and any shelf that blocks access.
- Take off the ice maker cover (if equipped) to expose the harness plug.
- Unplug the wiring harness connector.
- Remove the mounting screws; lift the ice maker up and off the mounting tabs.
- 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).
- Install the new ice maker on the tabs, reinstall screws, and reconnect the harness.
- 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.

What are the common problems with Kenmore 10651164210 refrigerators?
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.
