How can I tell how many cubic feet my Kenmore refrigerator is?
For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10655536400, the most reliable way to confirm cubic feet is to check the model and serial number label inside the fresh food compartment, then match that information to the capacity listed in the owner's manual. If you need an estimate, you can calculate interior volume by measuring.
- Check the inside label: Look on an inside wall of the refrigerator compartment where the model and serial number are listed.
- Use the manual specs: The capacity is typically listed in the product data/specifications section of the owner's manual.
- Measure and calculate (good for an estimate): Measure the usable interior space and convert to cubic feet.
- Compare by style: Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are commonly in the 20 to 26 cu. ft. range.
- Empty enough space to measure the usable interior (not the outside cabinet).
- Measure in inches:
- Height (top shelf area to floor)
- Width (left wall to right wall)
- Depth (back wall to inside front edge)
- Multiply: Height x Width x Depth = cubic inches
- Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet.
| What you measure | What it tells you | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Interior (usable) dimensions | Approximate cubic feet | Best DIY estimate |
| Model/serial label + manual | Official capacity | Most accurate |
| Exterior cabinet dimensions | Not capacity | Includes insulation and non-usable space |
Knowing cubic feet helps us choose correctly sized parts and accessories (like shelves, bins, and a refrigerator water filter), and it also helps when planning food storage and airflow so temperatures stay stable.

Who makes 10655536400 refrigerators?
Kenmore model 10655536400 is a Kenmore-branded side-by-side refrigerator that was sold through Sears; this model series is commonly manufactured for Kenmore by Whirlpool. For model identification details (model and serial label location and product record info), use the owner's manual.
We recommend verifying by checking the model and serial number label inside the fresh food compartment and matching it to the documentation.
- Open the refrigerator door and look on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment
- Record the full model number (10655536400) and the serial number
- Compare the information to the product record section in the manual
- Use the model number when ordering parts such as a water filter or ice maker
- Keep the purchase date with your records for service and maintenance history
Kenmore uses model prefixes to identify the manufacturing source. The 106 prefix is widely associated with Whirlpool-built Kenmore refrigerators, including many side-by-side designs.
| What you see | What it means | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Kenmore nameplate | Retail brand | Parts are selected by model number, not just brand |
| Model prefix 106 | Whirlpool-built Kenmore platform | Helps narrow down compatible components |
| Model/serial label inside compartment | Exact unit identification | Prevents ordering the wrong part |
Knowing the manufacturing platform helps when troubleshooting and choosing compatible components (for example, water filtration and ice maker parts). For this model, common replacements include the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 and the whirlpool refrigerator ice maker assembly 2198597.

Why is my Kenmore side-by-side ice maker not working?
If your Kenmore 10655536400 side-by-side refrigerator ice maker isn’t making ice, the most common causes are the ice maker being switched OFF, the freezer not cold enough yet, or a water supply problem (shutoff valve closed, kinked line, or a clogged filter). Use the checks below to pinpoint the failure fast using the owner's manual.
- Confirm the ice maker ON/OFF switch is set to ON (left) (it’s on the top right side of the freezer compartment).
- Make sure the freezer door closes fully; the ice maker stops when the door is open.
- If the ice maker was just installed or recently reconnected to water, allow 24 hours for ice after hookup and up to 72 hours for full production.
- Verify the household water shutoff valve to the refrigerator is fully open.
- Check the water supply line for kinks or pinches behind the refrigerator.
A restricted water supply can leave the ice mold dry or produce small, hollow cubes.
- If you have a filter installed, reseat it and replace it if it’s overdue.
- For this model, the compatible replacement is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.
- If water flow to the ice maker is weak or intermittent, the inlet valve can be the cause; see the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What we do next |
|---|---|---|
| Ice mold has no water | Shutoff valve closed, kinked line, failed inlet valve | Open valve, straighten line, test/replace valve |
| Slow ice production | Freezer too warm, doors not sealing, filter restricted | Set temps, check door seal, replace filter |
| Ice jam at ejector | Cube stuck in ejector area | Clear jam with a plastic utensil |
- If an ice cube is jammed in the ejector area, clear it with a plastic utensil (avoid sharp tools).
- If the storage bin is full or removed, the ice maker’s sensor system can stop production until the bin is properly seated.
An ice maker needs the right freezer temperature and steady water pressure. Fixing a simple OFF switch setting, a clogged water filter, or a weak inlet valve prevents repeat jams, slow ice production, and dispenser issues.
