Kenmore 10656923600 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

For the Kenmore 10656923600 side-by-side refrigerator, the most common problems are no ice or slow ice production, water dispenser issues, warming temperatures from airflow or defrost trouble, and door sealing or closing problems. Our owner's manual covers operating checks and care steps that prevent many of these failures.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• No ice or small/slow ice: clogged water filter, restricted water supply, or a failing ice maker
• Water dispenser not working or weak flow: clogged filter, frozen water tube, or a failing inlet valve
• Frost buildup or warm freezer/fridge: defrost system issue (heater or defrost bi-metal) or poor airflow
• Not cooling well: dirty condenser area, evaporator fan airflow issue, or sealed system/compressor problem
• Door not closing or popping open: worn door cam, misalignment, or gasket sealing issues

Parts that commonly fix these issues (when symptoms match)

If your symptoms line up, these model-compatible parts are common solutions:

• Water and ice flow: genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1, refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
• Ice production: refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965
• Defrost and frost issues: refrigerator heater WP2323198, refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581
• Door closing: refrigerator door cam (black) WP2182179

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

• Confirm the temperature settings and allow 24 hours after changes.
• Replace the water filter if flow is weak or it is older than 6 months.
• Verify the shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
• Check for ice clumps in the bin and clear them.
• Inspect door seals for gaps; close a dollar bill in the door and feel for easy pull-out.

Symptom-to-part cheat sheet

Symptom	Most likely area	Common part examples for this model
No ice	Ice maker or water supply	WPW10190965, W10408179
Weak water flow	Filter or inlet valve	EDR3RXD1, W10408179
Frost on back wall	Defrost system	WP2323198, WPW10225581
Door won’t close smoothly	Hinge/cam	WP2182179

Why it matters

Catching water-flow and defrost problems early helps prevent ice jams, leaks, and temperature swings that can spoil food and overwork the compressor.

Error 15 on a Kenmore refrigerator is commonly used to indicate an ice maker sensor problem (often shown as “Er IS” or “Er 15” on some Kenmore models). On Kenmore model 10656923600, we recommend confirming the exact code meaning and the reset steps in the 10656923600 owner's manual.

What to check first (quick triage)

• Power reset: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Make sure the ice maker is turned on and the freezer is cold enough to make ice.
• Check for ice jams in the ice bin and around the ice maker.
• Inspect the ice maker wiring harness connection (loose plugs can trigger sensor-related faults).
• If the dispenser area was recently disassembled, re-seat connectors and confirm nothing is pinched.

Likely causes and what they mean

What’s happening	What it usually points to	What we do next
Code returns right after reset	Sensor or control not seeing the ice maker correctly	Check harness connections; inspect for damage
Ice maker stops producing ice	Ice maker module or sensor issue	Test/replace the ice maker assembly
Ice maker works but code appears	Intermittent sensor signal	Check wiring, door switch operation, and connector fit

If you determine the ice maker itself is failing, the correct replacement for this model is the refrigerator ice maker WPW10190965.

Why it matters

An ice maker sensor or communication fault can stop ice production and can also cause the dispenser to behave inconsistently. Addressing it early helps prevent repeated ice jams and reduces strain on the ice maker drive and controls.

The total cubic foot capacity for Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10656923600 is listed in the specifications or product data sheet section of the 10656923600 owner's manual. That section gives the official total capacity (and often the refrigerator and freezer split) for your exact configuration.

Where the exact capacity is listed

Use these spots to get the official cubic feet number for model 10656923600:

• Specifications section in the 10656923600 owner's manual
• Product data sheet pages (often near the back of the manual)
• Model and serial tag inside the fresh food compartment (use it to confirm you are matching the correct configuration)

What “cubic feet” includes

Cubic feet is the manufacturer’s stated interior volume; it is a sizing spec, not a promise of usable shelf space.

• Total capacity: refrigerator plus freezer combined
• Compartment capacity: fresh food vs. freezer split
• Usable space: reduced by shelves, drawers, door bins, and the ice storage area

Quick reference table

Capacity term	Meaning	Best use
Total capacity (cu. ft.)	Combined interior volume	Comparing refrigerator sizes
Refrigerator capacity	Fresh food section volume	Planning shelf and drawer storage
Freezer capacity	Freezer section volume	Planning frozen food and ice storage

Why it matters

Knowing the exact cubic feet for 10656923600 helps you compare replacement refrigerators accurately and understand how storage accessories affect day-to-day space.

If you are trying to regain usable space, replacing damaged storage components can help, such as the refrigerator crisper pan WP2188656.
