How many cubic feet is my Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore model 59652673200, the most accurate way to get cubic feet (total capacity) is to use the model and serial tag inside the fresh food section, then confirm the listed “unit total volume” in the 59652673200 owner's manual.
Fast ways to find your refrigerator’s cubic feet
Use these options in order; they avoid guesswork and match your exact configuration.
- Check the model and serial number sticker inside the refrigerator section (typically on the left wall).
- Look up “unit total volume” (capacity) in the specifications section of the 59652673200 owner's manual.
- If the label is hard to read, take a photo with the doors open and zoom in to capture the full model number.
- If you are measuring for a cabinet opening, use the manual’s clearance guidance; capacity and exterior size are different.
What “cubic feet” means (and what it does not)
Cubic feet is the interior storage volume of the refrigerator and freezer combined. It is not the same as exterior width, height, or depth.
| Spec you need | Where to find it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Total capacity (cu. ft.) | Manual specs section | Compares storage space between models |
| Exterior dimensions | Manual installation section | Confirms fit in your kitchen opening |
| Clearance requirements | Manual installation section | Prevents airflow and door-swing problems |
Why it matters
Knowing the correct cubic feet helps us match the right Kenmore refrigerator parts and accessories (like shelves, bins, and ice maker components) to your exact platform, and it helps you compare like-for-like capacity when shopping or planning a replacement.

How wide is a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator?
Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, including model 59652673200, are built to fit a standard 36-inch-wide kitchen opening; the cabinet width is typically just under 36 inches. For the exact width and required clearances for your unit, use the dimensions section in the 59652673200 use and care guide.
Typical width you can expect
Side-by-side refrigerators are commonly designed around a 36-inch footprint, but the exact measurement can vary slightly by door style, handles, and trim.
- Standard opening: 36 inches wide (most common)
- Cabinet width: usually slightly under 36 inches
- With doors/handles: can be wider than the cabinet
- Clearance matters: you need space for airflow and door swing
How to confirm the exact width for model 59652673200
We recommend measuring your refrigerator and comparing it to the installation guidance in the manual.
- Measure the cabinet width (left side panel to right side panel).
- Measure the overall width at the widest point (often handles).
- Check the manual’s installation section for recommended clearances (top, sides, rear).
Quick measurement checklist
| What to measure | Where to measure | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet width | Side panel to side panel | Fit in the cutout |
| Overall width | Widest point (often handles) | Door/handle clearance |
| Opening width | Cabinet-to-cabinet space | Installation fit |
Why it matters
A refrigerator that is even 1/2 inch too wide can bind against cabinets, reduce airflow, and make doors harder to open fully. Following the manual’s clearance guidance helps prevent cooling performance issues and installation headaches.

Is there a reset button on a Kenmore refrigerator?
Kenmore refrigerator model 59652673200 does not use one universal “reset” button; most resets are done by turning cooling off and back on through the control panel, or by power-cycling the refrigerator to clear a control glitch. Use the steps in the 59652673200 owner's manual for the exact button sequence.
Quick ways to “reset” your 59652673200
- Power-cycle reset: Unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker), wait 5 to 10 minutes, then restore power.
- Control panel cooling OFF/ON: Use the freezer temperature button to scroll until the display shows OFF, then press Confirm Settings; to turn cooling back on, press the freezer down button and Confirm Settings.
- Exit lockout modes: If dispenser controls seem unresponsive, check for lock/lockout features and turn them off.
- Check door position: Some dispenser functions lose power when the freezer door is open.
- After any reset: Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
What to check before you reset (saves time)
| Symptom | Most common cause | Best first step |
|---|---|---|
| Lights on, not cooling | Cooling turned OFF at controls | Turn cooling back ON and confirm settings |
| Dispenser won’t run | Controls locked or freezer door open | Unlock controls; fully close freezer door |
| Display shows EO/ES/ERROR | Control detected a problem | Power-cycle; if it returns, schedule service |
| No power at all | Outlet, breaker, or fuse issue | Restore power, then retry |
Why it matters
A “reset” can restore normal operation after a brief power interruption, a locked keypad, or cooling being accidentally turned off. It also helps you separate a simple control setting issue from a part failure (such as a dispenser switch or ice maker problem).
Safety note
Before any maintenance or part replacement, unplug the refrigerator to reduce shock risk.

What is the er if code on a Kenmore refrigerator?
On Kenmore refrigerator model 59652673200, an ER IF display is used as an ice fan (ice room fan) fault on many Kenmore-built-by-Whirlpool style refrigerators. It means the control is not seeing the expected ice fan operation; clearing ice blockage or restoring fan power typically stops the code.
What to check first (no parts swapping)
- Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then restore power.
- Ice blockage: Remove the ice bin and look for frost or ice around the air channel near the ice maker.
- Fan sound: With the doors closed, listen for a steady fan; scraping or pulsing points to ice contact.
- Door sealing: Inspect the freezer door gasket for gaps that can cause frost buildup.
- Temperatures: Set the freezer near 0°F and fresh food near 37°F to prevent icing and airflow issues.
When replacement is the right next step
If the code returns after clearing ice and confirming good door sealing, the problem is usually in the ice maker area airflow system (fan motor, wiring, or control output). If you also have no ice production, the ice maker itself can be part of the overall symptom.
| What you notice | Most likely cause | Practical next action |
|---|---|---|
| Fan area packed with frost | Air leak or defrosting issue | Clear ice, confirm gasket seal, recheck in 24 hours |
| Fan never runs, no ice blockage | Fan circuit or control issue | Check connectors, then test fan power |
| No ice plus ER IF | Airflow issue and/or ice maker not cycling | Confirm airflow first, then evaluate ice maker |
If the ice maker is not cycling after airflow is restored, replacing the refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q is a common repair path for this model family.
Why it matters
The ice fan pushes cold air to the ice maker compartment. When airflow drops, ice production slows, cubes turn hollow, frost builds up, and the refrigerator can keep posting ER IF.

What size is Kenmore refrigerator model 59652673200?
Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 59652673200 is a 33-inch class refrigerator (the cabinet is designed to fit a standard 33-inch opening). For the exact overall height, width, and depth for your specific configuration, use the dimensions listed in the 59652673200 owner's manual.
What “size” usually means (and what to check)
When customers ask for refrigerator size, it typically refers to one of these:
- Overall width (most important for the opening)
- Overall height (including hinges)
- Overall depth (cabinet only vs. with handles)
- Capacity (cubic feet)
- Clearances needed for airflow and door swing
Typical dimensions you should expect for a 33-inch side-by-side
Most 33-inch class side-by-side refrigerators land in these common ranges (your exact numbers can vary by handles, hinges, and leveling):
| Measurement | Typical range | What can change it |
|---|---|---|
| Width | ~32 3/4 to 33 in. | side trim, door alignment |
| Height | ~65 to 69 1/2 in. | hinge style, leveling legs |
| Depth | ~30 to 35 in. | handles, door thickness |
How to measure your 59652673200 correctly
We recommend measuring in three places and using the largest number.
- Measure width at the back, middle, and front of the cabinet
- Measure height from floor to the top of the hinge
- Measure depth from the back to the front edge of the doors (then add handle depth if needed)
- Confirm the unit is level; leveling can change door swing and “effective” fit
Why it matters
A refrigerator that is even 1/4 inch too wide or too deep can prevent proper installation, restrict airflow (hurting cooling performance), or keep doors from opening fully. Using the manual’s published dimensions helps you plan for clearances before moving the refrigerator.

What's the average lifespan of a Kenmore refrigerator?
Most Kenmore refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life; a well-maintained Kenmore 59652673200 side-by-side often reaches the high end of that range when temperatures are kept stable and wear items (like door gaskets and ice maker components) are addressed early. For model-specific care and maintenance routines, use the 59652673200 owner's manual.
Typical lifespan ranges (what we see most often)
Lifespan depends on design (side-by-side vs. top freezer), usage, and maintenance. Here are practical expectations:
- 10 to 15 years: typical for most modern refrigerators
- 15+ years: common when condenser coils are kept clean and doors seal tightly
- 8 to 12 years: more likely with heavy use, warm kitchens, or poor airflow around the cabinet
- 20 years: achievable, usually with consistent upkeep and timely repairs
| What affects lifespan | Shortens lifespan | Extends lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Heat and airflow | Coils clogged with dust, tight enclosure | Good clearance, clean coils |
| Door sealing | Torn or warped gasket | Gasket seals flat and clean |
| Ice and water system | Low water pressure, frozen fill tube | Filter changes, leak checks |
| Electrical wear | Frequent power interruptions | Surge protection, stable power |
Maintenance that adds years
These steps prevent the most common failure patterns (cooling loss, leaks, ice maker issues):
- Vacuum and brush condenser coils regularly
- Keep door gaskets clean; replace if they are cracked or won’t seal
- Confirm freezer is near 0°F and fresh food is near 37°F
- If you use the dispenser, replace the water filter on schedule (many are rated around 500 gallons)
- Fix small water leaks quickly to prevent corrosion and ice buildup
Parts that commonly impact longevity
If performance problems start, these parts are frequent culprits on side-by-side refrigerators:
- Gasket-ff W10840101 (warm fridge, condensation, longer run times)
- Refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q (no ice, leaking, overfilling)
- Refrigerator valve WP12544002 (slow fill, no water, dripping at dispenser)
Why it matters
A refrigerator that runs longer to hold temperature uses more energy and stresses the sealed system (compressor and refrigerant tubing). Simple maintenance and early part replacement usually cost far less than a major cooling repair.

Why is my Kenmore side-by-side ice maker not working?
On Kenmore model 59652673200, an ice maker usually stops making ice because the shutoff arm is off, the freezer is not cold enough (ice production starts around 0°F to 2°F), or water is not reaching the valve due to a kinked line, low pressure, or a clogged filter. Use the 59652673200 owner's manual to confirm the correct operating setup.
Quick checks (most common fixes)
- Confirm the ice bin is installed correctly and fully seated.
- Make sure the ice maker arm is down (on); do not force it up or down.
- Verify the freezer temperature is set cold enough; target 0°F to 2°F.
- If the refrigerator was just installed or the bin was emptied, allow about 24 hours for the first harvest and to refill.
- Check that the freezer door closes completely; dispenser and ice functions can stop when the door is open.
Water supply and filter checks
Restricted water flow prevents the mold from filling.
- Inspect the household water line for kinks or pinches.
- Make sure the shutoff valve is fully open.
- Replace the water filter if it is clogged or the filter light is red; reset the filter indicator afterward if your model uses one.
- Confirm water pressure is 20 to 100 psi; 35 psi minimum is recommended when a water filter is installed.
If the fill tube keeps freezing
A frozen fill tube blocks water into the ice maker.
| What you see | What it points to | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| No water entering ice maker | Frozen fill tube, low pressure, valve issue | Clear ice, correct pressure, check valve |
| Water drips then freezes | Inlet valve seeping | Replace the refrigerator valve WP12544002 |
When the ice maker itself is the problem
If temperature and water supply are correct but the ice maker never fills or won’t cycle, replace the refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q.
Why it matters
Ice makers need two basics to run: freezer temperature near 0°F and steady water flow. Fixing door closure, temperature, pressure, and filtration restores normal harvest timing.
