How to tell cubic feet of Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore model 10670212410, the cubic-foot capacity usually isn’t reliably “decoded” from the model number alone. The most accurate way is to confirm capacity in the product specifications section of the 10670212410 owner’s manual, or calculate interior volume by measuring usable space.
- Check the specifications section in the 10670212410 owner’s manual for listed capacity.
- Look for a rating label inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall or ceiling) that may list capacity.
- Measure the usable interior (not exterior cabinet size) and calculate cubic feet.
- If you’re comparing similar Kenmore 106 models, use the full model number (all digits) when searching specs.
- Empty the compartment you’re measuring (fresh food and freezer are often calculated separately).
- Measure usable interior dimensions in inches: height × width × depth.
- Multiply to get cubic inches.
- Divide by 1728 to convert to cubic feet.
| What you have | What to do | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Inches (H × W × D) | Multiply | Cubic inches |
| Cubic inches | Divide by 1728 | Cubic feet |
Kenmore model numbers (including the 106 prefix family) are primarily used to identify the product platform and configuration for parts and service. Capacity can vary within a model family, so a single digit in the model number is not a dependable capacity code.
Knowing cubic feet helps you compare refrigerator sizes, plan food storage, and confirm fit when replacing shelves, bins, or door components for your exact Kenmore 10670212410.

What is the top part of the fridge called?
On Kenmore model 10670212410 (a top-mount refrigerator), the top section is the freezer compartment. It’s the colder compartment designed to keep foods frozen and, on some setups, it also houses the ice maker and related components (if equipped).
- Freezer shelves and door bins for frozen food storage
- Temperature airflow outlets that send cold air down to the fresh food section
- Evaporator area behind an interior panel (cooling coil and fan system)
- Ice maker components (only if your refrigerator has an ice maker installed)
For diagrams and compartment identification specific to this model, use the 10670212410 owner’s manual.
| Compartment | Common name | Primary purpose | Typical temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top section | Freezer | Long-term frozen storage, ice production (if equipped) | Around 0°F |
| Bottom section | Fresh food (refrigerator) | Short-term chilled storage | Around 37°F |
Knowing the correct compartment name helps when you’re ordering parts, reading troubleshooting steps, or following maintenance instructions. For example, if you’re diagnosing ice production issues, you’ll usually be working in the freezer area.
If your 10670212410 has an ice maker installed, these freezer-related parts may apply:
- Refrigerator ice maker assembly 4317943 (makes and harvests ice)
- Refrigerator ice bin W11625904 (stores ice in the freezer)
- Refrigerator shut-off arm W10646481 (signals the ice maker to stop when the bin is full)

What water filter fits my Kenmore fridge?
For Kenmore top-mount refrigerator model 10670212410, the correct water filter cannot be identified from the model-specific information available here because the exact filter style and filter part number vary by configuration. We recommend confirming the filter type and replacement number using the 10670212410 owner's manual.
Use these quick checks on your 10670212410 to avoid ordering the wrong cartridge:
- Look for a filter housing in the upper-right fresh food compartment, base grille, or rear cabinet area.
- Check the existing filter label for a printed part number.
- Note the filter shape and how it locks in (twist-in, push-in, pull-down, or inline).
- If your unit has no filter housing, it may use an external inline filter or no filter at all.
- Match by model number 10670212410 first, then by the filter number printed on the old cartridge.
Different Kenmore 106-series refrigerators can use different filter families, so the “right” answer depends on what your refrigerator is built with.
| What you see on the refrigerator | What it usually indicates | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Cartridge inside the fresh food section | Internal cartridge filter | Match the number on the cartridge or manual listing |
| Filter in the base grille | Push/twist grille filter | Confirm the grille filter number and style |
| No cartridge anywhere | Inline filter or no filter | Check behind the unit for an inline filter on the water line |
A “wrong filter” is one cause, but these are also common:
- Air trapped in the water line after installation
- Filter not fully seated/locked
- Low household water pressure
- Clogged filter head or kinked supply line
- A failing inlet valve (for this model, see refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10279909)
Using the correct filter for your Kenmore 10670212410 helps maintain normal dispenser/ice maker flow and ensures the filter seals properly so you do not get leaks or bypassed filtration.
