Kenmore 10673182301 top-mount refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore refrigerator model 10673182301, the model number alone usually does not state the exact cubic-foot capacity. The most reliable way is to look up the capacity in the 10673182301 owner's manual or estimate it by measuring the interior and converting cubic inches to cubic feet.

Fast ways to find the cubic feet

• Check the manual/specs: Capacity is typically listed in the specifications section of the 10673182301 owner's manual.
• Use the model/serial label location: For this Kenmore model, the manual notes the model and serial label is on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment.
• Estimate by measuring the interior (good when you need a quick approximation): measure usable interior space and convert.

How to estimate cubic feet (simple math)

1. Empty the compartment enough to measure.
2. Measure the usable interior:
   • Width (left to right)
   • Depth (front to back, not including door bins)
   • Height (bottom shelf area to ceiling, not including thick duct covers)
3. Multiply: width x depth x height = cubic inches
4. Convert: cubic inches ÷ 1728 = cubic feet

Quick conversion table

What you have	What to do	Result
Inches (W x D x H)	Multiply to get cubic inches	Total in³
Cubic inches	Divide by 1728	Approx. ft³

What the model number can and cannot tell you

Kenmore model numbers starting with 106 are commonly Whirlpool-built units, but the digits typically identify the product line and features, not a clear capacity value you can decode reliably.

Why it matters

Cubic-foot capacity helps you choose correctly sized replacement items and accessories (like shelves, bins, and ice maker components) and it also helps when comparing similar top-mount refrigerators for fit and storage needs.

For Kenmore model 10673182301, the correct water filter is the one specified for your exact filtration setup (interior filter housing vs. no built-in filter). The fastest way to confirm the exact cartridge style and replacement interval is to match it to the filter section in the 10673182301 owner's manual.

How to identify the right filter on this model

Use these checks to match the correct filter type before you buy:

• Look inside the fresh food compartment for an interior water filtration housing (often in the upper corner or base grille area, depending on design).
• If a filter is installed, remove it and record any numbers printed on the cartridge.
• If water flow at the dispenser has dropped, the manual notes the filter may be full or incorrectly installed; removing the cartridge briefly and testing flow helps confirm a restriction.
• If you see gray or dark discoloration in ice after a new filter, the manual recommends flushing 2 to 3 gallons (6 to 7 minutes) through the dispenser.
• If your home water has minerals (such as sulfur), a filter may be needed even if the refrigerator did not originally include one.

Quick troubleshooting that points to a filter issue

If you are unsure whether the filter is the problem, these symptoms are strong clues:

• Water dispenser flow decreases noticeably
• Water drips after dispensing (air in lines; flushing helps)
• Ice tastes off or looks discolored after a filter change
• New installation or recent filter replacement

What to do first (safe, no tools)

Symptom	Most likely cause	What we recommend
Slow water flow	Filter clogged or seated wrong	Reseat or replace filter; flush system
Dripping after dispensing	Air in water lines	Flush and use normally for 24 to 72 hours
Discolored ice after new filter	Filter needs more flushing	Flush 2 to 3 gallons; discard early ice

Why it matters

Using the correct filter for the Kenmore 10673182301 keeps water flow steady, helps reduce taste and odor issues, and prevents air and debris from causing dispenser dripping or discolored ice.

Yes. For Kenmore model 10673182301, the most reliable reset is a power reset: turn the temperature control(s) to OFF, disconnect power for several minutes, then restore power and set the controls back to your normal settings (as outlined in the 10673182301 owner's manual).

How to reset (safe, model-appropriate steps)

1. Turn the refrigerator and freezer control(s) to OFF.
2. Unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the dedicated circuit breaker).
3. Wait 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Plug back in (or turn the breaker back on).
5. Set the control(s) to the desired temperature setting.

Before you reset, do these quick checks

• Confirm the outlet has power (try a small lamp or phone charger).
• Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a wall switch.
• Avoid using an extension cord.
• Verify the doors are closing fully and the gaskets are sealing.
• If you recently installed the refrigerator or moved it, recheck that it is level and stable.

What a reset can and cannot fix

A reset helps when the control needs to be restarted after a power interruption or after service work (like door removal). It will not correct a mechanical cooling failure.

Symptom	Reset worth trying?	What to check next
Lights on, cooling seems “stuck” after outage	Yes	Airflow, control settings, door sealing
No interior light when door opens	Sometimes	Door switch and bulb
Ice maker not making ice after water hookup	Sometimes	Water supply, shutoff arm/switch, inlet valve
Warm fridge and no compressor sound	Yes (once)	Start relay, compressor, power supply

Why it matters

Resetting correctly protects the control and helps you avoid chasing the wrong problem. The manual method also ensures you return the thermostat/control to the right setting so food temperatures recover quickly.

Parts that commonly relate to “no light” or “no ice” complaints

• Refrigerator light switch W11384469 (door switch that tells the light and some functions the door is closed)
• Refrigerator bulb W11338583 (interior light)
• Ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943 (ice production system)
• Refrigerator inlet valve WP2315576 (feeds water to the ice maker)

For Kenmore top-mount refrigerator model 10673182301, we recommend 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of clearance at the top to ensure proper ventilation and steady cooling performance. This spacing lets heat escape so the compressor and condenser can run efficiently.

Recommended clearances for model 10673182301

These ventilation clearances are specified in the 10673182301 owner's manual.

• Top: 1/2 in. (1.25 cm)
• Each side: 1/2 in. (1.25 cm)
• Next to a fixed wall: 2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum (to allow the door to swing open)
• Back: Allow extra space if you have an ice maker so the water line connections are not cramped

Quick clearance guide

Location	Minimum clearance	What it helps prevent
Top	1/2 in. (1.25 cm)	Heat buildup above the cabinet
Sides	1/2 in. (1.25 cm)	Restricted airflow around the cabinet
Fixed wall side	2 in. (5.08 cm)	Door swing interference
Back (with ice maker)	Extra as needed	Kinked or stressed water line

Why it matters

Refrigerators remove heat from inside the cabinet and release it into the room. When the top gap is too tight, airflow drops, run time increases, and temperatures can become less stable.

Installation tips that help

• Keep the space above the refrigerator open; avoid tight trim that blocks airflow.
• If an ice maker is installed, leave room for the water line to curve gently.
• After positioning, confirm the doors open fully without rubbing a wall or cabinet.
