Can you still get parts for Kenmore refrigerators?
Yes. We still carry replacement parts for Kenmore refrigerators, including the Kenmore 10673853302 top-mount refrigerator. You can match parts by model number and symptom, then order common replacements like an ice maker, water inlet valve, door gaskets, and lighting parts from the parts list for this model or through Sears PartsDirect.
How to make sure you get the right part
Use your full model number (10673853302) and compare the part name and part ID before ordering. We recommend these quick checks:
- Confirm the model and serial number from the refrigerator’s ID tag
- Look up the part by the symptom (no ice, leaking water, warm fridge, door not sealing)
- Match the part ID exactly (letters and numbers)
- Review any notes in the owner's manual about features your unit has (ice maker, filter system)
- If your refrigerator has multiple door colors or configurations, match the correct gasket/panel style
Common Kenmore 10673853302 parts customers replace
These are frequently ordered items for this model when symptoms point to a specific system:
- Ice production issues: ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943
- Water not filling ice maker or leaking: refrigerator inlet valve WP2315576
- Door not sealing, frost buildup, warm temps: freezer or refrigerator door gasket (match color and door)
- Light stays on or won’t turn on: refrigerator light switch W11384469 or refrigerator bulb W11338583
- Frost buildup or defrost problems: defrost bi-metal WP4387503 or refrigerator defrost timer WP2304099
Quick part-to-symptom guide
| Symptom | Most likely area | Example part on this model |
|---|---|---|
| No ice or small cubes | Ice maker or water supply | Ice maker assembly, inlet valve |
| Puddles under fridge | Water line or valve | Water tube, inlet valve |
| Warm refrigerator section | Airflow/evaporator | Evaporator motor, fan blade |
| Frost on freezer wall | Defrost system or door seal | Defrost bi-metal, door gasket |
Why it matters
Using the correct model-matched part helps restore proper cooling, ice production, and door sealing. It also prevents repeat failures like leaks from mismatched water tubing or frost buildup from a poor gasket seal.

How many cubic feet is the Kenmore refrigerator model 10673853302?
The Kenmore top-mount refrigerator model 10673853302 has a total capacity of about 21.9 cubic feet. This is the overall storage volume for the fresh food section plus the freezer, and it helps you compare size, shelf space, and fit before ordering parts or planning a replacement.
What “21.9 cu. ft.” means in real use
Capacity is a single combined number; usable space depends on shelves, bins, and ice maker setup.
- The freezer and refrigerator compartments share that total volume
- Adding an ice maker can reduce usable freezer space
- Shelf and bin layout affects how much you can actually store
- Door storage is included in the total capacity rating
- Food packaging shapes (pizza boxes, gallon jugs) can make a fridge feel smaller than its rating
Quick comparison: capacity ranges for top-mount refrigerators
| Size class | Typical total capacity | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Compact | 14 to 18 cu. ft. | Small kitchens, apartments |
| Mid-size | 18 to 21 cu. ft. | Average households |
| Full-size | 21 to 25 cu. ft. | More storage, bulk shopping |
Model 10673853302 falls into the full-size range.
Why it matters
Knowing cubic feet helps us match the right style of replacement parts and set expectations for storage. For example, if you are adding or troubleshooting ice production, the ice maker and water system components need to match your exact model configuration.
Parts commonly tied to capacity and configuration
- Ice maker components (if equipped), such as the ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943
- Water supply parts that support ice makers, such as the refrigerator inlet valve WP2315576
- Door sealing parts that protect cooling performance, such as the refrigerator gasket panel (black) 2177305
Where to confirm your exact configuration
Your model and serial label is typically inside the refrigerator compartment, and the owner's manual explains features, care, and setup details that can affect usable space.
You can order replacement parts for Kenmore 10673853302 from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

What are the most common problems with Kenmore refrigerators?
The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10673853302 are cooling problems (often airflow or defrost related), water leaks, ice maker troubles, and “new” operating noises that are actually normal. Your owner's manual also lists basic troubleshooting checks to avoid unnecessary service.
Most common symptoms and what usually causes them
- Not cooling or weak cooling: blocked air vents, dirty condenser coils, failed evaporator fan, or frost buildup from a defrost problem
- Water on the floor or inside the fridge: clogged defrost drain, loose water line, or a door not sealing
- Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, inlet valve problem, or failed ice maker module
- Noises (buzzing, sizzling, popping, gurgling): often normal sounds from the compressor, fans, refrigerant flow, or defrost cycle
- Lights not working: burned-out bulb or a failed door/light switch
Quick checks we recommend first (safe, no parts needed)
- Confirm the control is not set to OFF and the unit has power (breaker, outlet).
- Make sure food packages are not blocking airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections.
- Listen for the evaporator fan; it typically runs to circulate air and may speed up with door openings.
- Check door closing and alignment; poor sealing can cause warm temps and moisture.
- If you have an ice maker, confirm the water supply is on and the fill tube is not frozen.
Common parts that match these problems (for model 10673853302)
| Symptom | Part that often relates | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Ice maker not filling or no ice | Refrigerator inlet valve WP2315576 | Opens to send water to the ice maker |
| Ice maker not producing ice | Ice maker assembly 4317943 | Harvests and cycles ice production |
| Warm temps, poor airflow | Refrigerator evaporator motor WPW10189703 | Drives the evaporator fan to move cold air |
| Fridge light stays off | Refrigerator light switch W11384469 | Turns the light on and off with the door |
Why it matters
Cooling, leaking, and ice maker complaints usually trace back to airflow, defrost performance, or water supply components. Catching a weak door seal, a failing fan motor, or a sticking inlet valve early helps prevent food spoilage and repeat icing or puddling.
For model-specific operating details (including normal sounds, air circulation guidance, and troubleshooting steps), use the owner's manual. For ordering replacement parts by model number, you can also search on Sears PartsDirect.
