Kenmore Elite 10644423600 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator typically lasts 12 to 15 years. For Kenmore Elite model 10644423600, steady temperatures, clean condenser airflow, and on-time water filter changes help you reach (and often exceed) that normal service life; see the 10644423600 owner's manual for model-specific care guidance.

What affects lifespan the most

• Condenser airflow and cleanliness: dust buildup makes the compressor run hotter and longer.
• Door seal condition: air leaks force longer run times and can cause frost issues.
• Defrost system health: failures can lead to heavy frost and poor cooling.
• Water quality and filter maintenance: protects the dispenser and ice maker water path.
• Installation and leveling: proper leveling helps doors close fully and reduces wear.

Maintenance schedule we recommend

Task	How often	Why it helps
Vacuum/brush condenser area	Every 6 to 12 months	Reduces run time and heat stress
Check door gaskets for gaps/tears	Every 6 months	Prevents warm air leaks and frost
Replace water filter	About every 6 months (typical)	Maintains flow and water quality
Confirm cabinet is level and doors self-close	After moves and yearly	Prevents moisture intrusion

If you need the correct filter for this model, use the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

Signs your refrigerator is nearing end-of-life

• Compressor runs almost constantly or is unusually loud
• Temperatures swing (food freezing in fresh food section or warming up)
• Repeated ice maker or dispenser problems from low water flow
• Frost buildup that returns soon after defrosting
• Water leaks that persist after checking tubing and fittings

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is working harder than normal uses more energy and puts extra wear on sealed-system components. Simple upkeep (airflow, seals, and filtration) is the most reliable way to get the full 12 to 15 years from a Kenmore Elite side-by-side.

For Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 10644423600, the installation guide shows a cabinet width of about 35 11/16 in (90.6 cm) and a cabinet depth of about 29 1/2 in (74.9 cm); height varies by configuration and leveling legs, typically about 68 3/4 to 71 3/4 in. See the 10644423600 installation guide for the exact fit details.

Dimensions you can use for planning

Use these as your starting point for measuring your opening and checking door swing:

• Width (cabinet): 35 11/16 in (90.6 cm)
• Depth (cabinet): about 29 1/2 in (74.9 cm)
• Height (overall): depends on model size and leveling legs (see table below)
• Door swing clearance: doors should open to at least 150° for full access
• Side wall clearance: allow space at the sides so doors can open fully

Height options shown in the guide

The guide lists two common “model size” height sets (A/B/C). These are shown with leveling legs at the minimum height (about 1/4 in below the refrigerator). When legs are fully extended to 1 in below, add about 3/4 in to the height.

Model size in guide	Height range shown (A/B/C)	Notes
23 cu ft class	About 68 1/2 to 68 3/4 in	Height varies slightly by measurement point
25 cu ft class	About 71 1/2 to 71 3/4 in	Add about 3/4 in if legs are fully extended

Why it matters

Correct dimensions help prevent installation problems like doors hitting a wall, the refrigerator not sliding into the opening, or the water line and power cord getting pinched behind the cabinet.

Quick measuring checklist

• Measure the opening width at the front and back
• Measure opening height to the lowest cabinet or soffit
• Measure depth to confirm the doors and handles will clear
• Confirm you have room for door swing and drawer access
• Plan routing for the water line and power cord

Your Kenmore Elite side-by-side refrigerator model 10644423600 is built in a 23 cu. ft. or 25 cu. ft. size class. The exact cubic-foot capacity for your unit is identified in the specifications section of the 10644423600 installation guide.

What the installation guide tells you

The installation guide for model 10644423600 lists two capacity groups used for fit and clearance planning:

• 23' (654 L) group
• 25' (694 L) group
• Each group has different height and opening requirements
• Your refrigerator’s listed capacity matches one of these groups

Quick reference from the size table

Size group shown in guide	Approx. liters	Approx. cubic feet	What it’s used for
23'	654 L	23 cu. ft.	Cabinet opening and height planning
25'	694 L	25 cu. ft.	Cabinet opening and height planning

How to confirm which one you have

Use these checks to match your refrigerator to the correct capacity group:

• Verify the model number on the inside wall of the fresh food compartment reads 10644423600.
• In the 10644423600 installation guide, find the “Model Size” table and note whether your listed dimensions align with the 23' or 25' group.
• If you are measuring, measure height with leveling legs set the same way the guide describes.

Why it matters

Cubic-foot size affects fit-related items such as shelf layout, bin sizes, and door clearance requirements. It also helps avoid ordering the wrong storage components for your Kenmore Elite side-by-side platform.
