How wide is a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 33 inches to 36 inches wide; your Kenmore model 10657767790 falls in that common size range. For the exact cabinet width and required clearances for your specific unit, use the dimensions and space requirements in the owner's manual.
Typical width ranges (what you can plan around)
Side-by-side refrigerators are usually built in a few standard widths. Use these as planning numbers until you confirm the exact spec for model 10657767790.
- 33 in. class: common for many standard-capacity side-by-sides
- 36 in. class: very common “full-size” side-by-sides
- 42 in. class: built-in style (less common for Kenmore 106 models)
- Add clearance space for airflow and door swing (see below)
Clearance you should include (from the manual)
Even if the cabinet width fits, the refrigerator needs space around it to cool properly and to open the doors.
- Plan for 1/2 inch clearance on each side and at the top for ventilation
- If the refrigerator is next to a fixed wall, plan for at least 2 inches on the hinge side (or both sides, depending on layout) so the doors can swing open
- If you have an ice maker connected, leave extra room behind the unit for the water line connection
Quick planning table
Use this to estimate the opening you need before you confirm the exact width in the manual.
| What you are measuring | What to include | Typical planning number |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet width | Refrigerator body only | 33 to 36 in. |
| Opening width | Cabinet width + side clearances | cabinet width + 1 in. |
| Door swing space | Extra room near walls/cabinets | 2 in. minimum near a fixed wall |
Why it matters
If the opening is too tight, the condenser and compressor can run hotter, temperatures can fluctuate, and doors may not open fully. Leaving the recommended ventilation and swing clearance helps your Kenmore refrigerator cool efficiently and prevents cabinet-to-door interference.
Ordering parts while you measure
If you are fitting the refrigerator into a new space or replacing door bins and drawers, you can order model-matched parts from the parts list for 10657767790, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

How to read a Kenmore model number?
For Kenmore model 10657767790, the model number is read left to right; the first three digits (106) identify the manufacturer series, and the remaining digits identify the specific design and feature set. We use the full model number to match the correct refrigerator parts and the right owner instructions in the owner's manual.
Where to find the model number on this refrigerator
On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators like 10657767790, the model and serial label is typically inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall near the crisper area or door opening). The manual also notes you should record the model and serial information for service and parts matching.
- Check inside the refrigerator section first (door opening side walls)
- Look near the crisper pans and lower liner area
- Check the ceiling area near the light cover if you do not see it on the walls
- Write down both model and serial numbers exactly as shown
How Kenmore model numbers work (what the digits mean)
Kenmore model numbers commonly use a prefix that points to the manufacturing source, followed by digits that narrow down the exact configuration.
| What you see | What it tells us | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| First 3 digits (example: 106) | Manufacturer series/prefix | Helps route you to the correct parts diagrams and manuals |
| Remaining digits | Model variation and features | Ensures correct fit for items like gaskets, ice maker parts, and controls |
| Full model number | Exact identity of the appliance | Prevents ordering the wrong replacement part |
Why it matters when ordering parts
Even small digit differences can change the correct part for a Kenmore refrigerator. Using the full model number helps us match parts like an ice maker assembly, thermostat, or door gasket to your exact build.
- Prevents wrong-part returns due to fit or wiring differences
- Improves troubleshooting accuracy (cooling, ice maker, dispenser issues)
- Ensures you get the right diagrams and part breakdowns
- Speeds up ordering when you shop by model on Sears PartsDirect

How to tell cubic feet of Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore model 10657767790, the model number alone usually does not state the exact cubic-foot capacity. The most reliable way is to look up the capacity in the owner's manual; if you need a quick estimate, measure the usable interior space and convert cubic inches to cubic feet.
Fast ways to find the capacity
- Check the specifications section in the owner's manual for your exact model.
- Look for a rating/spec label inside the fresh food section; some units list capacity there.
- If you only have the model number, use it to pull the correct documentation and parts breakdown for 10657767790.
- Estimate capacity by measuring interior dimensions (best for a ballpark number).
How to estimate cubic feet (simple math)
- Empty one compartment (refrigerator or freezer) enough to measure.
- Measure width x depth x height of the usable interior space in inches.
- Multiply to get cubic inches.
- Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet.
Quick conversion table
| What you have | What to do | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Interior inches (W x D x H) | Multiply W x D x H | Cubic inches |
| Cubic inches | Divide by 1,728 | Cubic feet (approx.) |
Why it matters
Cubic-foot capacity helps you compare refrigerators, choose the right storage accessories (bins, shelves, pans), and confirm fit for features like the ice maker and water filtration system shown for this model family.
Parts note (when capacity affects fit)
If you are matching storage parts by size (for example, a crisper pan), use the model number 10657767790 to select the exact part listing; a common example is the refrigerator crisper pan WP2188656. You can also search by model on Sears PartsDirect if you are cross-checking multiple part options.

How can I tell how old my Kenmore appliance is?
For your Kenmore refrigerator model 10657767790, the most reliable way to tell its age is to read the serial number on the model and serial tag and decode the manufacturing date from that serial format. The tag location and identification details are shown in the 10657767790 owner's manual.
Where to find the model and serial tag
On most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, the model and serial tag is typically found in one of these spots:
- Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
- On the ceiling area inside the fresh food compartment
- Behind the crisper drawers or near the deli drawer area
- Along the door frame when the refrigerator door is open
- On the back exterior panel (less common for day-to-day access)
How to decode the age once you have the serial number
Kenmore is a brand name; many Kenmore refrigerators (including many 106 prefix models) were built by Whirlpool. The serial number format varies by the actual manufacturer, but these approaches work consistently:
- Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown
- Look for a week and year pattern in the first several characters (common on Whirlpool-built units)
- If the tag includes a manufacture date field, use that date directly
- If you are comparing multiple dates, use the earliest manufacturing date as the build date
Quick reference: what you will use
| What you have | What it tells you | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Model number (10657767790) | Product family and parts match | Use it to match parts and manuals |
| Serial number | Build date code | Decode the date from the serial format |
| Purchase date | When it was bought | Use for warranty and service history |
Why it matters
Knowing the build date helps us match the correct refrigerator parts (like a thermostat, defrost heater, or ice maker assembly) and set realistic expectations for maintenance items such as door gaskets and water filtration components.
Parts and documentation that help with identification
- Use the diagrams and identification section in the 10657767790 owner's manual
- If you are replacing common wear items, match by model first, then confirm by part ID (example: refrigerator thermostat WP2198202)
- For ordering, use the parts list for model 10657767790 on this page, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect
