How can I tell how many cubic feet my Kenmore refrigerator is?
For your Kenmore 10658536700 side-by-side refrigerator, the most reliable way to confirm cubic feet is to read the rating plate inside the fresh food compartment; it lists the refrigerator’s total volume (capacity) in cubic feet or liters. Use the 10658536700 owner's manual to help locate the label.
Where to find the cubic feet (capacity) label
Look for a model and serial rating plate (a sticker or metal tag) in one of these common spots:
- On an inside side wall of the refrigerator (fresh food) section
- Behind or beside the crisper drawers
- Near the ceiling of the fresh food compartment
- Along the door frame area (visible when the door is open)
If the label is missing: calculate cubic feet from interior measurements
If the rating plate is damaged or unreadable, we use a quick volume calculation.
- Measure interior height, width, and depth in inches (ignore door bins and curved corners)
- Multiply:
H x W x D = cubic inches - Divide by 1,728 to convert cubic inches to cubic feet
- Round to the nearest tenth for a practical estimate
Quick reference table
| What you have | What to do | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Rating plate “Total volume” or “Cu. Ft.” | Read the number directly | Exact capacity for your unit |
| Interior measurements (inches) | (H x W x D) ÷ 1,728 | Close estimate |
| Liters on the label | Liters ÷ 28.3 | Cubic feet |
Why it matters
Knowing cubic feet helps us match the right refrigerator water filter, shelves, and storage bins, and it also helps when comparing replacement parts and organizing airflow space for better cooling performance.
Parts that often get matched by model (not by cubic feet)
Even if you do not know the capacity, ordering by model number 10658536700 is the most accurate approach. Common examples include:
- Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1
- Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
- Refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965

How wide is a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 32 to 36 inches wide; your Kenmore 10658536700 falls in that common size range. For the exact cabinet width and required clearances for your specific unit, use the measurements and spacing guidance in the 10658536700 owner's manual.
Typical width ranges (what you can expect)
Side-by-side refrigerators are built in a few common widths; the exact width depends on capacity and whether the unit is standard-depth or counter-depth.
- Common overall width: 32 to 36 inches
- Most common “standard” size: about 33 inches or 36 inches
- Counter-depth models: often near 36 inches, but shallower front-to-back
- Door swing space matters: you need extra room beyond the cabinet width
Don’t forget clearance; it changes the real space you need
Even if you know the cabinet width, installation space must include ventilation and door-swing clearance. Our manual guidance for this style of refrigerator calls for:
- 1/2 inch space on each side and at the top for ventilation
- 2 inches minimum on the hinge side when next to a fixed wall (so doors can swing open)
- Extra space at the back if you have an ice maker water line
Quick clearance checklist
| What you’re measuring | What to include | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet width | Refrigerator body only | Fits between cabinets/walls |
| “Fits in opening” width | Cabinet width + side clearances | Prevents overheating and rubbing |
| Door swing space | Extra room near a wall | Lets bins and drawers open fully |
How to measure your refrigerator width accurately
Use a tape measure and check more than one spot.
- Measure across the front cabinet (not the doors/handles)
- Measure at the top and bottom (floors can be uneven)
- If you are fitting into cabinetry, measure the opening width in 3 places
- Plan for the 1/2 inch ventilation space on both sides
Why it matters
Width affects more than “will it fit.” Proper spacing helps airflow around the condenser area, prevents door alignment issues, and reduces the chance of doors hitting a wall or not opening far enough to remove shelves and bins.
If you are also planning water and ice hookups, you can order common water-system parts for this model, such as the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179, from the parts list for 10658536700 or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

Where can I find a Kenmore fridge model?
You can find the model number for your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator on the model and serial tag, which is typically inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall near the crisper drawers. For Kenmore model 10658536700, the exact tag location and how it’s labeled is shown in the owner's manual.
Common places to check on a Kenmore side-by-side
Look in these spots first (use a flashlight and wipe dust or condensation off the label):
- Inside the refrigerator section on the left or right wall near the crisper drawers
- On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the light housing
- Behind the lower toe grille (kick plate) at the front
- On the hinge-side door frame (open the door and check the frame edge)
- Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall (less common, but possible)
What the tag looks like (and what to write down)
The tag usually lists both a model number and a serial number. Record both before ordering parts.
| What to capture | Example format | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 106.58536700 or 10658536700 | Ensures parts match your exact design |
| Serial number | Letters and numbers | Helps confirm production range for some parts |
| Type/ratings | Voltage, amps | Useful for electrical troubleshooting |
Why it matters
Kenmore model numbers (especially the 106 prefix family) can look very similar, but small design changes affect parts like the refrigerator ice maker, water filter cap, or inlet valve. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct replacement part the first time.
Ordering parts once you have the model number
After you confirm the model number, you can order parts from the parts list for model 10658536700, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

Why is my Kenmore side by side refrigerator leaking water?
Water leaking from your Kenmore 10658536700 side-by-side refrigerator is usually caused by a clogged defrost drain (water backs up and spills into the fresh food section) or a problem in the water supply circuit (loose tubing or a leaking valve connection). Use the 10658536700 owner's manual to locate access points and follow safe shutoff steps.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Look for a sheet of ice or standing water on the freezer floor; this points to a defrost drain issue.
- Check the water line connection at the lower rear of the refrigerator for drips.
- Inspect the compression nut and sleeve at the valve inlet for seepage.
- Verify the shutoff valve is fully open and not leaking at the packing nut.
- If the leak happens only when dispensing water or making ice, focus on the water circuit.
Most common causes (and what to do)
1) Defrost drain clogged or frozen
When the defrost cycle melts frost, water should flow through the drain to the drain pan. If the drain is blocked by ice or debris, water can overflow and leak.
What to do
- Unplug the refrigerator.
- Clear visible ice around the drain opening (warm water flushes often help).
- Clean the drain opening and confirm water flows freely to the drain pan.
2) Water line or valve connection leaking
The manual’s water line instructions call out checking for leaks and tightening any connections that seep, including at the valve inlet.
What to do
- Turn OFF the main water supply.
- Dry all fittings, then turn water back ON and watch for fresh drips.
- If the valve body itself leaks or won’t seal, replace the inlet valve.
Parts that commonly solve water leaks on this model
| Symptom | Likely area | Part to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Leak at back near supply line | Water valve or fittings | Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 |
| Ice maker or dispenser issues plus leaking | Water supply circuit | Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 |
Why it matters
Even a small leak can lead to ice buildup, warm temperatures from restricted airflow, and floor damage. Fixing the source early also helps the ice maker and water dispenser work consistently.
