Kenmore 10658526700 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right; the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer code, and the remaining digits identify the product series and specific configuration. For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658526700, the 106 prefix is the key identifier to match the correct parts and manual.

Where to find the model number on a refrigerator

On most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, the model and serial tag is typically located in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the light
• Behind the crisper drawers area
• Along the door frame when the door is open
• On the back of the cabinet (less common for daily access)

For diagrams and the exact label location guidance for this unit, use the 10658526700 owner's manual.

How the number breaks down (what each section means)

Kenmore numbers are usually structured as a prefix + base model + revision/suffix.

Section	Example from your model	What it tells you	Why it matters
Manufacturer prefix	106	Who built the unit for Kenmore	Ensures parts lists match the correct design
Model/series digits	585267	Product platform and features	Helps narrow down compatible assemblies
Variation digits	00	Finish or engineering revision	Prevents ordering a near-match part

Why the prefix matters when ordering parts

The prefix is the fastest way to avoid wrong-part returns because Kenmore sold appliances built by multiple manufacturers.

• Use the full model number (all digits) when searching parts
• Match the prefix first (for example, 106)
• Then confirm the part fits your exact configuration (ice maker, dispenser, filter style)
• If you are ordering water system parts, confirm the filter type and housing style

If you are troubleshooting water taste, slow dispensing, or ice production, the water filter and cap are common fit-sensitive items on this platform, such as the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 and the filter cap.

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers are the “fit key” for parts. Even small digit differences can change the correct ice maker, inlet valve, thermostat, or water filter style, especially on side-by-side refrigerators with dispensers.

The cubic-foot capacity for Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658526700 is listed on the model’s specification or product data section in the 10658526700 owner's manual. That rating is the total interior volume (refrigerator plus freezer) and is the best number to use when comparing sizes.

Where to find the exact cubic feet

Check these spots in the documentation for model 10658526700:

• Product data sheet or specifications section
• A page that lists “total volume” or “capacity”
• Any note that separates fresh food and freezer volumes
• Footnotes about usable space versus rated volume

What “cubic feet” means on a side-by-side

Capacity is a standardized way to describe interior size; usable space is always a bit less because shelves, bins, and the ice system take up room.

Term	What it describes	What you should use it for
Total capacity (cu. ft.)	Rated interior volume	Comparing refrigerator sizes
Usable space	What you can actually load	Planning storage and organization

Why it matters

Knowing the correct cubic feet helps you choose the right refrigerator size for your household and set realistic storage expectations. It also helps prevent overpacking, which can block airflow and cause warm spots or frost issues.

Related tip (water and ice performance)

If you are also troubleshooting slow dispenser flow or weak ice production, filter restriction is a common cause.

• Replace the filter on schedule (typically every 6 months)
• Dispense and discard several gallons after a new filter install
• Confirm the filter is fully seated and the cap is installed correctly

For filter replacement guidance, use how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator and match your filter to the correct part for this model, such as refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

Most Kenmore refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life; many well-maintained units can reach 15 to 20 years. For your Kenmore 10658526700 side-by-side refrigerator, consistent maintenance (especially airflow and sealing) is what most directly determines how long the compressor and cooling system last; see the 10658526700 owner's manual for model-specific care guidance.

Typical lifespan ranges (what we see most often)

Refrigerator type	Typical lifespan	What usually ends the run
Side-by-side refrigerator (like 10658526700)	10 to 15 years	Sealed system wear, control issues, chronic airflow problems
Well-maintained older units	15 to 20 years	Major cooling-system repair cost vs. value
Heavy-use households	8 to 12 years	Ice maker and dispenser wear, door seal leaks

Maintenance that adds years (highest impact first)

• Clean condenser coils regularly so the compressor runs cooler and shorter.
• Confirm doors seal tightly; warm air leaks force longer run times and faster wear.
• Keep vents clear inside both compartments to prevent hot spots and frosting.
• Replace the water filter on schedule to protect water flow and ice maker performance; use the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.
• Use correct water supply conditions (cold water line, proper pressure) to reduce valve and ice maker strain.

Quick “wear warning” checklist

If you notice these patterns, lifespan is usually being shortened:

• Compressor runs almost constantly or the cabinet feels unusually warm
• Frost buildup on the freezer back wall or weak airflow from vents
• Doors pop open, won’t stay shut, or you see moisture around gaskets
• Ice maker output drops or the dispenser flow slows (often filter or valve related)

Why it matters

A refrigerator’s biggest life limiter is heat and run time. Dirty coils, poor door sealing, and blocked airflow make the cooling system work harder, which accelerates wear on the compressor, evaporator fan, and controls.
