- Confirm the full model number is 59653462300 (from the rating label inside the refrigerator).
- Use the parts diagram to match the callout number to the part name.
- Compare your original part’s connector style, mounting holes, and wire length.
- For water and ice parts, confirm line size and fitting type before ordering.
- For gaskets, confirm color and door (fresh food vs. freezer) before purchase.
Quick match checklist
| What you are replacing | What to match | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Ice maker not making ice | Mounting pattern, harness plug, fill cup position | Refrigerator ice maker (D7824706Q) |
| Door not sealing | Door side, gasket profile, color | Door gasket (W10840101 or W10133491) |
| No water to dispenser/ice maker | Valve ports, electrical plug, line fittings | Refrigerator valve (WP12544002) |
Why it matters
Using the correct model-specific part helps restore proper cooling, prevents air leaks that cause frost, and avoids water leaks that can damage flooring. The 59653462300 owner's manual also covers operating and maintenance basics (including water filter guidance) that can prevent repeat failures.

How wide is a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator?
Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 32 to 36 inches wide; your Kenmore 59653462300 falls in that common size class, but the exact cabinet width depends on the specific configuration and door style. For the precise measurement and required clearances, use the dimensions section in the 59653462300 owner's manual.
Typical width ranges (what you can expect)
Side-by-side refrigerators are usually built in a few standard widths. Use this as a quick sizing guide before you measure your opening.
- 32 to 33 inches: narrower side-by-side models
- 35 to 36 inches: most common full-size side-by-side models
- 36+ inches: larger capacity or specialty configurations
- Plan extra space for door swing, handles, and airflow clearance
How to measure width the right way
We recommend measuring both the refrigerator and the space where it will sit.
- Measure the cabinet width (left side panel to right side panel)
- Measure the widest point (often the handles or hinge caps)
- Measure the opening width in at least 3 places (top, middle, bottom)
- Confirm you have the side and top clearances listed in the manual
- If the refrigerator sits in a recess, verify height to the top of hinge cap (the manual calls this out for covered installations)
Quick comparison: cabinet width vs. space needed
| What you’re sizing for | What to measure | Why it’s different |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator width | Cabinet side-to-side | Tells you the base footprint |
| “Overall” width | Handles, hinge caps, trim | Often the widest point |
| Opening width needed | Wall-to-wall plus clearance | Prevents rubbing and airflow issues |
Why it matters
If the opening is too tight, doors may not open fully, the refrigerator may not level correctly, and restricted airflow can hurt cooling performance. Using the manual’s clearance guidance helps prevent installation headaches.

What are the common problems with Kenmore Elite refrigerators?
Common problems we see on Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators like model 59653462300 are warm temperatures from dirty condenser coils or airflow issues, frost buildup from defrost or door-seal problems, and “new” noises that are often normal compressor or ice/dispenser operation. Use the 59653462300 owner's manual troubleshooting chart to match symptoms to the most likely cause.
Most common symptoms and what usually causes them
- Not cooling or food too warm: dirty condenser coils, blocked rear air grille, doors opened often, controls need adjustment
- Food too cold: controls set too high, airflow issues, door not closing properly
- Frost or moisture (inside or outside): high humidity, frequent door openings, door gaskets not sealing
- Runs too frequently: warm room conditions, dirty condenser coils, door not sealing, recent large food load
- Unfamiliar sounds: compressor hum, ice agitation during dispensing, solenoid valve operating the ice chute door (often normal)
Quick checks we recommend first (safe, no tools)
- Confirm both doors close fully and nothing is holding them open.
- Set temperatures to a normal mid-range setting and wait 24 hours for stabilization.
- Clean condenser coils and make sure the rear air grille is not blocked.
- Reduce long door openings; organize items so you can grab and close quickly.
- Look for gasket gaps, tears, or areas that feel loose.
Parts that commonly relate to these problems
If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these are common replacements for this model:
| Symptom | Part that may be involved | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Ice maker not making ice, odd ice behavior | Ice maker assembly or fill system | Refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q, refrigerator fill tube WPB5705307 |
| Water dispenser weak or no water to ice maker | Water inlet valve | Refrigerator valve WP12544002 |
| Moisture leaks into compartments, frost near door | Door gasket not sealing | Gasket-ff W10840101, refrigerator freezer door gasket W10133491 |
Why it matters
Warm temps, frost, and frequent running usually trace back to airflow, coil cleanliness, or door sealing. Fixing those basics first protects food quality, reduces energy use, and prevents ice buildup that can lead to bigger cooling complaints.
