Kenmore 10653342300 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10653342300, the model and serial number label is located on the inside wall of the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment. We use that label to record the full model number, serial number, and purchase date for service and parts matching.

Where to look (fast checklist)

• Open the refrigerator (not freezer) door
• Look along the inside side wall of the fresh food compartment
• Check near the crisper area and lower side walls first
• Look for a model and serial number label (often a white or silver sticker)
• Write down both the model number and serial number exactly as shown

What information you should copy from the label

The label typically includes the key identifiers we need to match Kenmore parts and diagrams.

Item on label	What it’s used for	Example (format)
Model number	Ensures correct parts fit	10653342300
Serial number	Identifies production run	Letters + numbers
Purchase date (you add)	Helpful for records	Month/day/year

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators can look similar across multiple model series, but parts like a thermostat, ice maker, or water valve must match the exact model. Using the label information helps us avoid ordering the wrong replacement part.

Helpful next steps

• Confirm the model number on the label matches 10653342300 before ordering
• Use the model number to choose the correct diagrams and parts list
• Keep the information with your paperwork; the owner's manual also recommends recording it
• If you are ordering common cooling or ice/water parts, match by model first, then select the part
• For broader model searches and ordering, use Sears PartsDirect

The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10653342300 are cooling problems, ice maker or dispenser trouble, water leaks, unusual noises, and frost buildup. Many of these trace back to airflow restrictions, water supply issues, or a failed defrost or control component; your owner's manual outlines normal operation and troubleshooting steps.

Common problems and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: blocked vents, dirty condenser area, failed thermostat, fan, or sealed-system issue
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply shutoff, frozen fill tube, bad inlet valve, or ice maker failure
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged filter path, kinked water tube, or valve issue
• Water leaking or puddles: blocked defrost drain, loose water line connection, cracked tubing
• Noisy operation: normal compressor/fan sounds, items vibrating, or a failing fan motor/blade
• Frost buildup in freezer: door not sealing, frequent door openings, or a defrost system problem

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

• Confirm proper air circulation; do not block interior vents with food packages.
• Listen for normal sounds (fan airflow, gurgling, sizzling during defrost); these are expected in many cycles.
• Check doors close fully; clean sticky gaskets and make sure the unit is level.
• Verify the household water supply is on and the line is not kinked.
• After a power interruption, allow time for temperatures to stabilize before adjusting controls.

Parts that commonly solve these symptoms (when a component has failed)

Symptom	Likely part area	Example part for 10653342300
Frost buildup, warm freezer	Defrost system	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581
Temps swing warm/cold	Temperature control	Refrigerator thermostat WP2198202
No ice or no water	Water supply control	Refrigerator water valve W10822681
Loud rattling or fan noise	Air movement	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142
Ice dispensing issues	Dispenser drive	Refrigerator auger motor coupler WP2220458

Why it matters

Cooling, defrost, and water systems are connected. A simple airflow problem can mimic a bad thermostat, and a restricted water supply can look like an ice maker failure. Using the model-specific guidance in the installation guide helps prevent repeat issues after a repair.

Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10653342300 has its exact capacity (cubic feet) listed in the model specifications section of the owner's manual. The most reliable place to confirm it on the appliance itself is the model and serial label inside the refrigerator compartment.

Fast ways to find the cubic feet (capacity)

Use these options in order; they are the quickest and most accurate for model 10653342300:

• Check the model and serial label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment.
• Look up the specifications in the owner's manual.
• Measure usable interior space only if you need an estimate (see the formula below).
• If you are shopping for replacement parts by model, search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

If you need an estimate: how cubic feet is calculated

Capacity is the interior volume. If you measure the inside of the refrigerator and freezer sections (in inches), you can estimate cubic feet:

• Measure height x width x depth of each compartment (inside dimensions).
• Multiply to get cubic inches.
• Add refrigerator + freezer cubic inches.
• Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet.

Quick conversion table

What you have	What to do	Result
Interior measurements in inches	Multiply H x W x D	Cubic inches
Cubic inches	Divide by 1,728	Cubic feet

Why it matters

Knowing cubic feet helps us match the right refrigerator parts and accessories (like shelves, bins, and filter components) and helps you compare storage space when replacing door bins, crisper pans, or planning food storage.

A Kenmore 10653342300 side-by-side refrigerator usually stops cooling because the temperature controls are set incorrectly (including being set to OFF), airflow is blocked by food packages, or a cooling-system component such as the evaporator fan, defrost system, or compressor is not operating correctly. Check the basics first using the owner's manual.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the refrigerator has power and the interior lights come on.
• Verify the refrigerator control is not set to OFF (this model will not cool in OFF).
• Set both controls back to the factory mid-settings, then wait for temperatures to stabilize.
• Make sure air vents are not blocked in either compartment.
• Close doors firmly and check that the door gaskets seal all the way around.
• Clean dusty condenser coils (dirty coils make the compressor run harder and cooling suffers).

What to check next (common cooling failures)

If the settings and airflow look good, focus on the parts that actually move heat out of the cabinet.

Symptom you notice	Most likely area	What it means
Freezer cold, fresh food warm	Airflow/evaporator fan	Cold air is not circulating into the refrigerator side
Frost buildup on back wall/freezer	Defrost system	Ice blocks airflow across the evaporator
No fan noise, warmer temps	Fan motor/blade	Air is not being pushed through the compartments
Warm everywhere, compressor not running	Start components/control	Compressor is not starting or being powered

Parts on this model that often relate to “not cooling”

• Refrigerator thermostat WP2198202 (temperature control issues)
• Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 (defrost overheating or open circuit symptoms)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142 (air movement problems)
• Refrigerator compressor W10309990 (sealed system cooling)

Why it matters

When cooling stops, food temperatures can rise quickly. Starting with control settings, vent blockage, and coil cleaning prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps you pinpoint whether the issue is airflow, defrost, or the compressor system.
