Kenmore 10658902800 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Kenmore refrigerators made by Whirlpool are typically identified by the first three digits of the model number; 106 is a Whirlpool manufacturing prefix. That means your Kenmore 10658902800 side-by-side refrigerator is a Whirlpool-built Kenmore model (Kenmore-branded, Whirlpool-manufactured).

How to tell from the model number

Look at the first three digits (the prefix) on the Kenmore model tag.

• 106: Whirlpool-built Kenmore refrigerators (common for many side-by-side units)
• The remaining digits identify the specific design series and configuration
• The prefix is the fastest way to narrow down parts compatibility and service literature
• Always match the full model number when ordering parts

Common Whirlpool-built Kenmore prefixes (quick reference)

These prefixes are widely used for Whirlpool-manufactured Kenmore appliances.

106	Whirlpool	Parts cross-reference, service info alignment
110	Whirlpool	Often laundry products; same idea for sourcing parts
665	Whirlpool	Common on dishwashers; useful for parts families

Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting

Knowing the manufacturer behind the Kenmore badge helps you choose the right replacement parts (water filter, ice maker, inlet valve) and follow the correct troubleshooting steps.

• Parts listings often align to the Whirlpool-built platform
• Water and ice issues commonly trace to the filter, inlet valve, or ice maker
• The correct manual and diagrams reduce wrong-part returns

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right; the first 3 digits are the manufacturer prefix, the middle digits identify the base design, and the last digits show version or feature variations. For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658902800, the 106 prefix is the key identifier.

Where to find the model number on a refrigerator

We see the model number most often on the rating label in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment
• Behind the lower toe grille (base grille) area
• On the cabinet frame near the door hinge side
• On the back of the refrigerator

For the exact label location and how Kenmore lists model and serial information for this unit, use the 10658902800 owner's manual.

How to break down a Kenmore model number

Here is the standard way we interpret Kenmore model numbers when matching parts and diagrams:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): identifies the original manufacturer (OEM)
• Core model digits: identify the platform or design family
• Suffix digits (often last 2 to 4): identify revisions, color, or feature packages

Quick example

Example model number	What to focus on	Why it matters
10658902800	106 prefix	Helps match the correct parts system and diagrams
10658902800	Full number	Ensures the exact fit for parts like filters, valves, and ice makers

Why it matters when ordering parts

Using the full model number prevents common fit issues, especially on parts that vary by revision, such as:

• Refrigerator water filter and filter cap
• Refrigerator inlet valve
• Refrigerator ice maker
• Electronic control board
• Door gasket panel

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658902800, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label (the same label that also lists the serial number). We use that label information to match the correct parts and the correct manual for your refrigerator.

Where to look first

Check these common label locations on side-by-side refrigerators:

• Inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall near the front
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light housing
• On the inside edge of the refrigerator door (hinge side)
• Behind the base grille area at the bottom front (some designs)
• On the back exterior panel (less common, but worth a quick check)

What the label looks like

The ID label typically includes both a model number and a serial number. Use the model number to find exact-fit Kenmore parts such as a water filter, ice maker, or inlet valve.

Label item	What it’s used for	Example (format)
Model number	Identifies the exact design and parts list	10658902800
Serial number	Identifies production run and date info	Letters plus numbers

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers can look similar across different refrigerator families. Using the exact model number from the label prevents ordering the wrong part (for example, the wrong water filter style or ice maker assembly) and helps you follow the correct procedures in the 10658902800 owner's manual.

Quick tips before you write it down

• Copy the model number exactly as shown, including all digits
• Take a clear photo of the label for reference
• If the label is hard to read, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it

Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658902800 has a total capacity of about 21.9 cubic feet. This is the overall storage volume for both the fresh food and freezer compartments combined; see the 10658902800 owner's manual for model-specific details and features.

What “21.9 cu. ft.” means in real use

Capacity is a lab-style measurement of interior volume, not guaranteed usable shelf space. Usable space changes based on shelves, bins, the ice maker, and how you load food.

• Expect slightly less usable space if the ice maker and ice bin are installed
• Door bins and crisper/meat pans reduce open cavity space but improve organization
• Overpacking can restrict airflow and reduce cooling performance
• Keeping vents clear helps maintain even temperatures

Quick capacity reference

Measurement	What it includes	For model 10658902800

Usable space	Depends on configuration	Varies by shelves/bins/ice maker

Why it matters

Knowing the cubic feet helps when comparing Kenmore refrigerator sizes, planning kitchen storage, and choosing compatible accessories such as a water filter. If you are troubleshooting ice or water performance, the manual’s “Ice and Water” section is also a good starting point.

Most Kenmore refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life; a well maintained Kenmore 10658902800 side-by-side refrigerator often reaches the high end of that range when airflow, temperatures, and door sealing are kept in good shape. For model-specific care and maintenance intervals, follow the 10658902800 owner's manual.

Typical lifespan and what changes it

A refrigerator’s life is mostly determined by heat management and how hard the sealed system has to work.

• Condenser coil cleanliness (dirty coils raise compressor run time)
• Door gasket condition (air leaks cause frost and temperature swings)
• Stable temperatures (fresh food about 37°F, freezer about 0°F)
• Water and ice system upkeep (filters and valves affect performance)
• Ventilation around the cabinet (blocked airflow traps heat)

Quick maintenance checklist (best ROI)

Use this as a simple routine to extend lifespan.

• Vacuum and brush condenser area every 6 to 12 months
• Keep food from blocking interior air vents
• Clean and inspect door gaskets; replace if torn or warped
• Replace the water filter on schedule; use the correct fit such as genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1
• Confirm the refrigerator is connected to a cold water supply (helps dispenser performance)

What “normal aging” looks like vs. a real problem

Symptom	Often normal	Often needs repair
Compressor runs more in summer	Yes	If it never cycles off
Occasional ice clumps	Sometimes	Frequent jams or no ice
Small temperature swings	Minor	Food freezing or thawing
Light frost in freezer	Minor	Heavy frost on back wall

Why it matters

When a refrigerator runs hot (dirty coils, poor airflow, leaky gaskets), the compressor and fans run longer and wear faster. Preventive maintenance reduces run time, improves cooling consistency, and helps you get the full 10 to 15 year lifespan.

To replace the water filter in Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658902800, open the base grille filter door, press the eject button to remove the old cartridge, move the reusable cap to the new filter, then flush the system and reset the filter indicator. See the 10658902800 owner's manual.

Steps to change the filter

• Open the base grille filter door.
• Press the eject button; pull the filter straight out by the cap (expect some dripping).
• Turn the filter cap counterclockwise until it stops; remove and keep the cap.
• Unwrap the new filter; remove the protective cover from the O-rings.
• Install the cap on the new filter: align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the filter, then turn clockwise until it snaps.
• Insert the new filter into the housing until it seats; close the door.

Flush water and reset the light

• Dispense water for about 2 minutes to clear air (water may spurt at first).
• Reset the status light: press the light switch 5 times within 10 seconds; the light returns to green.

What you do	What to watch for
Pull old filter straight out	Less chance of the cap coming off
Reuse the cap	Cap is required for proper fit and sealing
Flush after install	Restores normal flow and clears air

If the filter door is taped shut or damaged

• Remove tape carefully; clean residue so the door opens and closes freely.
• Avoid twisting the cap while removing the filter; pull straight out.
• Replace a missing or damaged cap if it will not seal; use refrigerator water filter cap (black) WP2260518B if it matches your color and setup.

Why it matters

A clogged filter reduces water flow to the dispenser and ice maker and triggers the indicator (green to yellow to red). Replace the filter at least every 6 months for steady flow and better-tasting water.
