Kenmore 10658999800 refrigerator Parts

A Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator is typically about 36 inches wide. For Kenmore model 10658999800, the owner's manual specifies a 36 inch (91.44 cm) minimum cabinet cut-out width for installation, which is the key width measurement to plan for.

What “width” should you measure?

Refrigerator width questions usually mean one of these. For installation planning, the cabinet opening matters most.

• Cabinet cut-out width: the opening your refrigerator slides into (most important)
• Refrigerator case width: the appliance body itself (can be slightly under the cut-out)
• Door swing clearance: extra side space so doors open fully
• Service clearance: room for airflow and water line routing (ice maker models)

Model 10658999800 width and clearance basics

Based on the installation guidance for this model:

Measurement you plan for	What to use	Typical value for this model type
Minimum cabinet opening width	Cut-out width	36 in (91.44 cm)
Side and top ventilation space	Clearance	1/2 in (1.25 cm) each side and top
Clearance next to a fixed wall	Door swing space	2 in (5.08 cm) minimum (varies by setup)

If the refrigerator sits against an extended wall and you want full access to the crisper pans, the manual notes a wider opening may be recommended.

Why it matters

A side-by-side refrigerator that is “36 inches wide” often still needs more than 36 inches of total space once you include door swing, ventilation, and (if equipped) ice maker water line connections. Planning for the cut-out plus clearance helps prevent rubbing doors, poor airflow, and difficult service access.

Helpful next steps

• Measure the cabinet opening at the front and back (walls are not always square).
• Confirm you have the recommended 1/2-inch ventilation space on both sides and at the top.
• If the unit is next to a wall, plan for door swing clearance so shelves and bins can pull out.
• If you are replacing an older unit, compare the old cut-out width to the new one before moving it in.
• For exact installation requirements and diagrams, use the owner's manual.

The ER IF (or Er IF) code on a Kenmore Elite refrigerator means the ice fan is not working correctly. On Kenmore model 10658999800, that fan is responsible for moving cold air through the freezer and into the ice maker area; when airflow drops, ice production and temperatures can suffer. See the 10658999800 owner's manual for model-specific troubleshooting steps.

What you’ll notice when ER IF is active

• Ice maker slows down or stops making ice
• Ice bin may be partially melted or clumped
• Freezer temperature may drift warmer than normal
• You may hear unusual fan noise (rubbing, buzzing) or no fan sound at all
• Frost buildup in the freezer can restrict airflow

Quick checks we recommend first

1. Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator for 2 minutes, then restore power.
2. Check for airflow blockage: Make sure packages are not blocking vents in the freezer.
3. Inspect for frost/ice: Heavy frost on the rear freezer panel often points to a defrost problem.
4. Listen for the fan: With the freezer door switch held closed, you should typically hear the evaporator fan running.
5. Confirm door sealing: A poor seal can cause excess frost and airflow issues.

Common fixes and related parts for model 10658999800

If the code returns after basic checks, these are the most common repair paths.

Symptom	Most likely cause	Part on this model page
No airflow sound, warm freezer	Evaporator fan motor failed	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549
Fan runs but hits ice/noisy	Ice buildup from defrost issue	Refrigerator defrost heater WP2323198
Heavy frost returns quickly	Defrost control not cycling	Refrigerator electronic control 4388932
Door not closing smoothly	Door cam worn, door stays ajar	Refrigerator door cam (black) WP2182179

Why it matters

The ice fan and evaporator airflow keep the freezer stable and deliver cold air to the ice maker area. When airflow is restricted, the refrigerator can run longer, temperatures fluctuate, and ice production becomes unreliable.

On a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator like model 10658999800, the model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. You will typically find that label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall or near the top, and it lists both the model and serial information.

Where to look first (fast checks)

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door and check the left and right interior walls
• Look near the ceiling of the compartment, behind or beside the light housing
• Check around the crisper drawer area, including the side walls just above the crispers
• If you do not see it in the refrigerator section, check the freezer compartment side wall
• Look for a label that includes “Model” and “Serial” fields

What the label looks like

Most Kenmore rating labels are a white or silver sticker with small print. It usually includes:

• Model number (for example, 10658999800)
• Serial number
• Electrical ratings (volts/amps)
• Refrigerant information

Model number vs. serial number (quick guide)

Item	What it tells you	What we use it for
Model number	The exact refrigerator design and parts breakdown	Matching the correct parts list and diagrams
Serial number	The unit’s production identifier	Dating the unit and confirming production details

Why it matters

We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore parts for your refrigerator, such as the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 or the refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965. Using the full model number prevents ordering a part that looks similar but does not fit.

Helpful reference

For model-specific identification and general refrigerator information, use the owner's manual. If you are ordering parts beyond the most common items, you can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

On Kenmore model 10658999800, the water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer compartment door. You access it from the front by pressing the eject button and pulling the filter straight out by the cap; the base grille stays in place. See the 10658999800 owner's manual.

How to find and remove the filter

• Open the refrigerator and freezer doors so you can clearly see the base grille area.
• Look for the filter in the base grille below the freezer door.
• Press the eject button.
• Pull the filter straight out by the filter cap.
• Expect a small amount of water to spill; keep a towel handy.
• Avoid twisting the cap while pulling; pull straight to prevent the cap from popping off.

What you will see at the base grille

What you see	What it means	What to do
Filter cap at the grille	The cap is part of the filter assembly	Reuse the cap on the replacement filter
Eject button	Releases the filter from the housing	Press, then pull straight out
O-rings on the filter	Helps seal the water path	Check they are seated and not damaged

After you replace the filter (important)

• Flush water through the dispenser for several minutes to clear air from the lines.
• Reset the filter status light by pressing and holding the FILTER button for 3 seconds (the indicator changes back to “Good”).
• If you use reverse osmosis, low water pressure can be more noticeable with the filter installed; replacing a clogged filter often restores flow.

Why it matters

Knowing the filter location on your 10658999800 helps you restore water taste, improve dispenser flow, and prevent ice maker fill issues caused by a restricted filter.

If you need the filter cap replaced, we carry the matching cap as refrigerator water filter cap (black) WP2260518B, and you can also search by model on Sears PartsDirect.
