Kenmore 10657051791 refrigerator Parts

Kenmore Elite refrigerators come in several sizes, so the exact “how big” depends on the specific model. For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10657051791, use the 10657051791 owner's manual to confirm the exact exterior dimensions and capacity; most side-by-side units are roughly 33 to 36 inches wide and 22 to 26 cubic feet.

Kenmore Elite is a product line, not one single size. Here are common ranges we see across Elite refrigerators:

• Width: 29 to 36 inches (side-by-side models are commonly 33 to 36 inches)
• Height: 66 to 71 inches
• Depth: 29 to 35 inches (deeper if you include handles)
• Capacity: 18 to 29 cubic feet

Even when the cabinet size fits, clearances affect door swing, airflow, and water line routing.

• Allow about 1/2 inch of space on each side and the top for ventilation
• If you have an ice maker, leave extra space behind for the water line connection
• If installed next to a fixed wall, plan for about 2 inches minimum on the hinge side so the door can swing open

Use this as a checklist when measuring your opening.

Correct sizing prevents poor cooling from restricted airflow, makes it easier to connect the ice maker water line, and helps avoid door-alignment and gasket sealing problems that can cause temperature swings.

To clean the condenser coils on your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10657051791, we unplug the refrigerator, remove the base grille, vacuum the coils with a brush-style attachment, then reinstall the grille and restore power. Cleaning regularly helps the refrigerator cool efficiently.

1. Unplug the refrigerator (or disconnect power).
2. Open both doors.
3. Remove the base grille (toe grille) at the bottom front.
4. Vacuum the condenser coils using a vacuum with an extended attachment; a coil brush helps loosen packed dust.
5. Reinstall the base grille by lining up the support tabs with the metal clips and snapping it firmly into place.
6. Plug the refrigerator back in.

Coils should be vacuumed when dusty or dirty. In many homes, that means cleaning about every 2 to 6 months; if you have pets or a dusty area, it can be as often as every other month.

• Clean more often if you notice pet hair buildup near the grille
• Clean after remodeling or heavy dust events
• Add coil cleaning to seasonal kitchen maintenance

Use tools that remove dust without damaging tubing or wiring.

• Vacuum with crevice tool or brush attachment
• Soft coil brush (gentle bristles)
• Flashlight for visibility
• Avoid water spray on electrical components
• Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals

Dirty coils reduce heat transfer, so the compressor runs longer.

Clean condenser coils help your Kenmore 10657051791 move heat out of the sealed system. When coils are clogged with dust, the refrigerator works harder, can run longer, and may struggle to maintain consistent temperatures.

For grille removal and reinstallation details, use the 10657051791 owner's manual.

To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore 10657051791 side-by-side refrigerator, we shut off power, turn off the water supply, remove the ice bin, swap the ice maker assembly, then restore power and flush the water system so the new ice maker fills and cycles normally. See the 10657051791 owner's manual for model-specific safety steps.

• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before servicing.
• Turn the ice maker OFF by lifting the shutoff arm (if equipped).
• Shut off the household water supply to the refrigerator.
• Use a sturdy cup when dispensing water after reconnecting.
• Replace all panels and covers before operating.

1. Turn the ice maker OFF: open the freezer door and lift the signal arm to the OFF (up) position.
2. Remove the ice bin to access the ice maker.
3. Disconnect power to the refrigerator.
4. Remove the old ice maker: take out mounting screws, unplug the ice maker wiring harness, and disconnect the fill tube connection if your design uses one.
5. Install the new ice maker: connect the wiring harness, position the ice maker on the mounting points, and tighten mounting screws.
6. Restore water and power: turn the water supply back on, then plug the refrigerator back in.
7. Flush and prime: dispense and discard 2 to 3 gallons of water (about 6 to 7 minutes) to clear air and rinse the water system.

If you are replacing the complete assembly for this model, use the exact part listed for your unit: ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943.

An ice maker replacement is as much about safe shutoff and proper priming as it is about swapping parts. Flushing the water system helps prevent sputtering, small cubes, and early jams caused by air in the line.
