Kenmore 10657902700 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore 10657902700 side-by-side refrigerator, we shut off power and the water supply, remove the ice bin, swap the ice maker assembly, then turn the ice maker back on and allow time for the first ice harvest. Use the owner's manual for model-specific access and switch locations.

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off the circuit breaker.
• Shut off the household water supply to the refrigerator.
• Empty the freezer area around the ice maker.
• Remove the storage bin by pressing the release button and lifting the bin up and out.
• Keep a towel handy for a small amount of water in the fill tube.

1. Remove the ice bin from the freezer door.
2. Turn the ice maker off using the on/off switch (commonly on the top right side of the freezer compartment).
3. Remove the mounting screws holding the ice maker to the freezer wall.
4. Unplug the ice maker wiring harness connector.
5. Transfer any reusable parts from the old assembly to the new one if they are identical (for example, brackets or covers).
6. Install the replacement ice maker, reconnect the harness, and tighten mounting screws.
7. Restore water and power.

If you need the correct replacement assembly for this model, use the refrigerator ice maker 2198597.

A correctly installed ice maker and properly seated storage bin help the optical sensor (beam) detect when the bin is full, preventing overfilling and reducing dispenser jams.

The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10657902700 are cooling problems, ice maker and water dispenser failures, leaks, frost buildup, and unusual noise. Many of these trace back to airflow restrictions, dirty condenser coils, door seal leaks, or a failing water system component; use the owner's manual troubleshooting section to narrow it down.

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coils, blocked air vents, evaporator fan issues, or a defrost system problem
• Freezer cold but fresh food warm: blocked damper/vents, evaporator fan not moving air, frost-clogged evaporator
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, clogged filter, inlet valve problem, or ice maker assembly failure
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged filter, frozen water tube, low house water pressure, inlet valve issue
• Water leaks or puddles: clogged defrost drain, loose water line connections, cracked tubing
• Noisy operation: fan blade hitting ice, worn fan motor, items vibrating against the cabinet

• Confirm the refrigerator has power and the controls are set correctly.
• Make sure air vents inside both compartments are not blocked by food packages.
• Clean the condenser coils and verify the condenser fan area is clear of dust.
• Check door gaskets for gaps, tears, or areas not sealing.
• If you have ice and water, replace the water filter on schedule and purge air from the line.

If your symptoms point to the water system, these model-compatible parts are common fixes:

Cooling, ice, and water problems often share the same root causes: restricted airflow or restricted water flow. Fixing the basic maintenance items first (coils, vents, seals, filter) prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps the compressor and defrost system run normally.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10657902700, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label (the same label that lists the serial number). You will typically find this label inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall or near the ceiling area; confirm the exact spot in the owner's manual.

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door and check the left and right interior walls
• Look near the top front of the compartment (ceiling area or upper side wall)
• Check behind or beside the crisper drawers on the side wall
• Look around the door frame area (hinge side and latch side)
• If you have an ice and water dispenser, also check the inside wall near the filter housing

The ID label usually includes:

• Model number (for example: 10657902700)
• Serial number (a longer code, often a mix of letters and numbers)
• Electrical ratings (volts/amps)

We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore parts and diagrams for your exact refrigerator, which helps avoid ordering the wrong item (for example, the correct refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 or refrigerator ice maker 2198597).
