Kenmore 10644262600 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore model 10644262600, the most accurate way to get the cubic-foot capacity is to use the model and serial label inside the fresh food compartment, then confirm the listed “capacity” or “total volume” in the 10644262600 owner's manual. This avoids guessing based on similar 106-series refrigerators.

Where to find the capacity on your refrigerator

On 10644262600, start with the model and serial number label inside the refrigerator compartment (typically on an inside wall). Once you have that information, use the manual specifications section to match your exact configuration.

• Look inside the refrigerator compartment, not the freezer
• Check the inside side wall near the crisper area or upper wall
• Record the full model number and serial number for reference
• Use the manual’s specifications/capacity listing (when provided)

Quick ways to confirm capacity (best to least precise)

1. Manual specs for model 10644262600 (best)
2. Rating plate information (often lists key specs)
3. Compare to typical 106-series side-by-side sizes (useful for planning only)

Typical capacity range (planning guidance)

Most Kenmore 106-series side-by-side refrigerators are commonly in this range; use this only for rough planning until you confirm the exact spec for 10644262600.

What you need	Typical range for side-by-side	Best source for your exact number
Total capacity (cu. ft.)	20 to 26 cu. ft.	10644262600 owner's manual
Refrigerator section	13 to 17 cu. ft.	10644262600 owner's manual
Freezer section	6 to 9 cu. ft.	10644262600 owner's manual

Why it matters

Cubic-foot capacity helps us choose correctly sized shelves, bins, and drawers, and it also helps with kitchen planning (clearances, airflow space, and door swing).

Cleaning the condenser coils on your Kenmore 10644262600 side-by-side refrigerator means removing dust and pet hair so the sealed system can release heat properly. When coils are dirty, the compressor runs longer and cooling performance can suffer; regular coil cleaning helps prevent warm temperatures.

Before you start (safety and access)

• Unplug the refrigerator (or switch off power at the breaker).
• Pull the refrigerator straight out to protect flooring and water lines.
• Remove the base grille (toe grille) to access the condenser area.
• Use only nonflammable cleaner and avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners.
• Keep water away from electrical components.

How we clean the condenser coils

1. Vacuum first: Use a crevice tool to remove loose dust from the coil area and the floor underneath.
2. Brush the coils: Use a condenser coil brush to loosen packed lint and pet hair.
3. Vacuum again: Capture what the brush loosened so debris does not get pulled back into the condenser fan area.
4. Clean the surrounding area: Wipe the base area and reinstall the base grille.
5. Restore power: Plug back in and confirm the refrigerator is running normally.

What to expect after cleaning

Most refrigerators stabilize within a few hours; if temperatures were warm, allow up to 24 hours for full recovery after airflow and heat transfer improve.

What you notice	What it usually means	What we do next
Compressor runs a lot	Dirty coils make heat removal harder	Clean coils; confirm doors seal and vents are clear
Divider between compartments feels warm	Normal exterior moisture control heat	No repair needed unless temps are also high
Temps still too warm after 24 hours	Airflow, defrost, or control issue	Check vents, frost buildup, and settings in the manual

How often should we clean the coils?

• Every 6 months in most homes
• Every 3 months if you have pets, heavy dust, or the refrigerator is in a tight enclosure

Why it matters

The manual notes that dirty condenser coils prevent proper air transfer and make the motor work harder. Keeping coils clean reduces strain on the compressor and helps your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator hold safe food temperatures.

For model-specific care and cleaning details, follow the steps in the 10644262600 owner's manual. You can also find replacement parts for your refrigerator on this model’s parts list, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10644262600 are cooling issues (often airflow or defrost related), water leaks, ice maker or dispenser troubles, and new or louder operating noises. Many of these start with basic maintenance and a few targeted checks from the 10644262600 owner's manual.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coils, blocked vents, evaporator fan problems, or frost buildup from a defrost failure
• Frost or ice buildup in the freezer: defrost system issue (thermostat/bi-metal, heater, or control)
• Water under the refrigerator or in compartments: clogged/iced defrost drain, loose water line connections, or door not sealing
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, frozen fill tube, or inlet valve problem
• Noises that seem new: normal compressor and fan sounds, refrigerant movement, or ice maker fill cycles

Quick checks we recommend first (before replacing parts)

1. Confirm airflow: keep vents clear and avoid overpacking; proper air circulation is called out in the manual.
2. Listen for the evaporator fan: you should typically hear airflow when the unit is running; a damaged blade can reduce airflow.
3. Inspect door sealing: look for gaps, torn gasket areas, or doors not closing squarely.
4. Check for frost patterns: heavy frost on the back freezer panel often points to a defrost problem.
5. Identify the noise type: buzzing at ice maker fill, fan airflow, and refrigerant rattling can be normal per the manual.

Parts that commonly relate to these problems on 10644262600

Symptom	Common area	Example part on this model
Warm fridge/freezer, poor airflow	Evaporator fan area	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142
Frost buildup, warm temps	Defrost system	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581
Temps drifting or inconsistent	Temperature control	Refrigerator temperature control WP2315562

Why it matters

Cooling, defrosting, and airflow work together. When airflow is restricted or frost builds up on the evaporator, the refrigerator can run longer, temperatures rise, and you may notice more noise and moisture problems.

Ordering the right replacement part

We recommend matching parts by the full model number 10644262600 and the part ID shown in the parts list. You can order model-matched parts from the list for this refrigerator, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.
