Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators measure about 33 to 36 inches wide. For Kenmore model 10658143801, use the exact width and door-clearance dimensions listed in the 10658143801 owner's manual so your cabinet opening and door swing clearance match the refrigerator you own.

These are the measurements that affect fit in a kitchen cutout:

• Cabinet width (box only, no handles): typically 33 to 36 in.
• Overall width (doors closed): typically about 33 to 36 in.
• Width with handles (if handles protrude): typically 34 to 38 in.
• Door swing clearance: often needs 1 to 3 in. beyond the overall width
• Side clearance for airflow/leveling: typically 1/8 to 1/2 in. per side

Measure your refrigerator and your space before moving the unit:

• Measure the widest point across the front with doors closed
• Measure again including handles (if they stick out)
• Check door swing so bins and the ice bucket can clear walls
• Measure the cabinet opening at the front and back (walls are not always square)
• Confirm you can pull the unit out for service, filter changes, and cleaning

If the refrigerator is even slightly wider than the opening, it can prevent proper leveling, restrict airflow, and make it harder to remove shelves, the ice bin, or the water filter.

On Kenmore model 10658143801, the ER 1F (or ER IF) code points to a problem with the freezer evaporator fan (ice fan) circuit, commonly caused by a failed fan motor, ice buildup blocking the fan, or a control issue. Use the 10658143801 owner's manual to confirm the display behavior and access steps.

• Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator (or turn off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Listen for the fan: With the freezer door switch held closed, you should typically hear the evaporator fan running.
• Look for frost or ice: Heavy frost on the rear freezer panel often means airflow is restricted and the fan may be hitting ice.
• Check door sealing: A leaking gasket can drive frost buildup and fan errors.
• Confirm temperatures: Target about 0°F in the freezer and 37°F in the fresh food section.

If the fan motor is not running (or is noisy), the evaporator fan system is the first place we focus.

• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549 (moves cold air through the freezer and into the fresh food section)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142 (can crack or slip and cause noise or poor airflow)

That fan is what distributes cold air. When it fails or gets blocked by ice, temperatures rise, ice production drops, and the refrigerator can run longer than normal, which stresses components.
