Kenmore 56460912100 compact refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore compact refrigerator model 56460912100, the capacity is 9.5 cubic feet. You can confirm it on the model and capacity information in the owner's manual, and you may also see it on the refrigerator’s model number plate.

The easiest way is to use the documentation or the appliance data plate.

• Check the first pages of the owner's manual for the listed capacity.
• Look for the model number plate on the upper back area of the refrigerator (as described in the manual).
• Record both the model number and serial number for parts and service.
• If you are comparing sizes, note that “compact refrigerator” capacities commonly range from about 1.7 to 9.5 cu. ft.

If you are trying to estimate capacity (for example, if shelves or bins reduce usable space), you can calculate an approximate volume from interior measurements.

• Measure interior height, width, and depth in inches
• Multiply: H x W x D = cubic inches
• Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet

Knowing cubic feet helps us match the right storage expectations and compare compact refrigerator sizes accurately. It also helps when planning airflow clearance and placement so the unit cools efficiently.

Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on the model number plate; for Kenmore compact refrigerator model 564.60912100, the plate is located in the upper corner of the refrigerator back. Write down both the model and serial number because you will need them to look up parts and service information in the owner's manual.

On Kenmore model 564.60912100, check these spots first:

• Upper corner of the refrigerator back (primary location for this model)
• The exterior rear panel area near the power cord entry

Kenmore refrigerators typically last 12 to 15 years on average. For your Kenmore 56460912100 compact refrigerator, lifespan depends most on basic care like keeping the condenser tubing clean, limiting frost buildup, and maintaining good door sealing; our owner's manual covers these maintenance steps.

• 12 to 15 years: common average for household refrigerators
• 10 to 12 years: more likely with heavy use, poor airflow, or dirty condenser tubing
• 15+ years: more likely with regular cleaning, proper spacing, and stable temperatures

These items reduce compressor run time and overheating, which are the biggest drivers of early failure.

• Vacuum the condenser tubing on the back when dusty (at least every 3 months is a solid routine)
• Defrost when frost reaches about 1/4 inch to keep cooling efficient
• Keep the unit level so the door seals close evenly
• Allow 24 hours after changing the cold control for temperatures to stabilize
• Avoid frequent door openings and close the door fully each time

A compact refrigerator like the Kenmore 56460912100 has less surface area to shed heat than many full-size models, so airflow clearance and clean condenser tubing make a noticeable difference in how hard the sealed system has to work.
