Kenmore 10651753711 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Kenmore model numbers tell us who built the appliance and which design family it belongs to. For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10651753711, the 106 prefix identifies the manufacturer family, and the remaining digits narrow down the exact configuration so we can match the correct parts and manual.

Where to find the model number on a refrigerator

On most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, we find the model and serial tag in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light
• On the door frame behind the crisper drawers
• On the cabinet frame near the hinge side
• Occasionally on the back of the refrigerator

For model-specific locations and labeling, use the 10651753711 owner's manual.

How to decode a Kenmore model number (quick guide)

Kenmore model numbers are typically split into two parts: a prefix and a model sequence.

• Prefix (first 3 digits): identifies the manufacturer family (example: 106)
• Model sequence (remaining digits): identifies the platform and feature set
• Suffixes or extra characters (on some models): indicate color, revision, or production changes

Example breakdown

Example	What it tells us	Why it matters
10651753711	106 = manufacturer family; 51753711 = specific design/configuration	Ensures correct parts fit and wiring/controls match
106.5175* (manual family)	Manual covers a group of related models	Confirms you are using the right instructions

Why it matters when ordering parts

Using the full model number prevents common fit and compatibility issues, especially for ice and water components.

• Ice maker assemblies can vary by harness and mounting style
• Water inlet valves can differ by coil rating and port layout
• Dispenser and user interface parts can be finish-specific
• Door bins and shelf rails can change by revision

If you are troubleshooting ice production or water dispensing, the refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10179146 is a common model-matched part to check when water flow is weak or intermittent.

To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10651753711, we shut off ice production, remove the ice bin, swap the ice maker assembly, then restore water and power. After installation, we turn the ice maker back on and confirm it fills and harvests ice normally using the steps in the 10651753711 owner's manual.

Before you start (safety and prep)

• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
• Turn the ice maker OFF first (wire shutoff arm up, or the ice maker switch to Off, depending on style).
• Turn off the household water supply if you will disconnect any water line.
• Empty the ice storage bin.
• Protect the floor with towels; keep a small container for screws.

Remove the ice storage bin (model-specific)

Your 10651753711 uses one of two common shutoff styles:

Ice maker style	How we turn it off	Where to access it
Style 1	Lift wire shutoff arm to Off (up)	Inside the ice maker door
Style 2	Move On/Off switch to Off (left)	Bottom of ice maker (open ice door)

Then we remove the bin:

• Open the ice maker door.
• Set the shutoff arm/switch to Off.
• Lift the front of the bin and pull it out.
• When reinstalling, push the bin all the way in or the dispenser may not work.

Replace the ice maker assembly

For this model, the correct replacement is the refrigerator ice maker assembly WPW10300022.

Typical replacement steps:

• Remove the mounting screws holding the ice maker to the freezer wall.
• Unplug the ice maker wiring harness connector.
• Transfer any required parts from the old unit (such as the shutoff arm or cover) if your new assembly does not include them.
• Connect the wiring harness, mount the new ice maker, and reinstall the ice bin.

Turn it back on and verify operation

• Restore power.
• Restore water supply (if turned off) and check for leaks.
• Turn the ice maker ON (wire arm down, or switch to On).
• Allow time for the ice maker to cycle and refill; first batches can be smaller as the system stabilizes.

Why it matters

Turning the ice maker off before removal prevents unwanted cycling and reduces the chance of dispenser issues. Fully seating the ice bin is critical because the dispenser drive will not engage correctly if the bin is not pushed in completely.

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, including Kenmore model 10651753711, are built to fit a 36-inch-wide cabinet opening. For this model family, the Use & Care Guide lists a normal minimum cabinet cut-out width of 36 inches, which is the key width to plan for when installing.

What “36 inches wide” means for planning

The manual’s 36-inch figure is the minimum cabinet cut-out width (the space your kitchen opening needs). The refrigerator’s actual case width is typically very close to that, but you should also plan for door swing and airflow clearances.

• Plan for a 36 in (91.44 cm) minimum opening width
• Leave 1/2 in clearance on each side and at the top for ventilation
• Leave 2 in clearance behind the refrigerator
• If installed next to a fixed wall, allow extra side clearance so doors can open fully
• If your unit has an ice maker, allow extra rear space for the water line

For the exact installation clearances and placement notes, use the 10651753711 owner’s manual.

Quick reference: width vs. clearances

Measurement type	What it’s used for	Typical value for this model family
Cabinet cut-out width	Opening in cabinetry	36 in
Side/top ventilation	Airflow around cabinet	1/2 in each side and top
Rear clearance	Airflow and water line room	2 in

Why it matters

If the opening is too tight, the refrigerator can run warmer, use more energy, and you may have trouble removing drawers or fully opening doors. Planning for the cut-out width plus clearances helps avoid installation and performance problems.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator typically lasts 10 to 15 years. For a Kenmore side-by-side like model 10651753711, consistent maintenance (cleaning coils, keeping doors sealing, and changing filters on schedule) is what most often determines whether you land closer to 10 years or closer to 15.

What affects lifespan the most

• Condenser coil cleanliness (dust buildup makes the compressor work harder)
• Door gasket seal quality (air leaks cause longer run times and frost issues)
• Ice maker and dispenser use (more moving parts and water flow means more wear)
• Water quality and filter changes (reduces valve and housing problems)
• Ventilation and leveling (poor airflow and misalignment strain components)

Maintenance checklist we recommend

Use the schedule in your 10651753711 use and care guide as your baseline.

• Vacuum coils and grille area regularly
• Keep freezer and fresh food vents unblocked
• Confirm doors close fully and seal all the way around
• Replace the water filter on schedule and flush the dispenser after changes
• Watch for slow ice production or weak water flow (early signs of water system restriction)

Common “life-extending” repairs vs. “end-of-life” repairs

What you notice	Often points to	Typical next step
Warm temps but fans run	Airflow restriction, dirty coils, frost buildup	Clean, defrost, check airflow
No ice or slow ice	Ice maker or water supply issue	Diagnose ice maker and inlet valve
Weak/no water at dispenser	Filter restriction or valve issue	Replace filter, test valve
Loud humming, poor cooling	Sealed system or compressor strain	Professional diagnosis recommended

If you are troubleshooting ice production on this model, the refrigerator ice maker assembly WPW10300022 is a common replacement part when the mold will not fill or harvest correctly.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer and harder to maintain temperature wears out key components faster (especially the compressor and fans). Simple upkeep helps stabilize temperatures, reduce frost, and lower overall run time.

Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10651753711 has a total capacity of about 21.9 cubic feet. For the exact capacity listing and any model-variant notes, we recommend confirming it in the 10651753711 owner's manual.

How to confirm the capacity on your exact unit

Capacity can vary slightly by configuration within a model series. The most reliable way to confirm is to check the model’s Use and Care Guide and the rating label.

• Look in the specifications section of the 10651753711 owner's manual
• Check the model and serial tag inside the fresh food compartment (usually on a side wall)
• Compare your model prefix (106.5175*) shown in the manual to your full model number
• If you have door bins or shelves that differ from standard, your usable space can feel different even when total cubic feet is the same

What “21.9 cu. ft.” means in real use

“Total volume” is the combined fresh food plus freezer interior volume. Usable space depends on shelving, bins, and the ice maker setup.

Measurement	What it includes	What can change it
Total capacity (cu. ft.)	Refrigerator + freezer compartments	Model variant, internal layout
Usable space	What you can actually load	Ice maker, bins, shelf positions

Why it matters

Knowing cubic feet helps us match the right accessories and parts (like shelves, door bins, and ice maker components) and set expectations for food storage compared to other Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator sizes.
