Kenmore Elite 10658702803 refrigerator Parts

Your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 10658702803 is typically listed at about 30.6 cubic feet of total capacity. For the exact capacity for your specific configuration (and how it is broken out between fresh food and freezer), confirm it in the 10658702803 owner's manual.

How to confirm the exact capacity on your refrigerator

Capacity can vary slightly by configuration and how the manufacturer reports usable space. The most reliable places to verify are:

• The model’s specifications section in the 10658702803 owner's manual
• The rating plate inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall)
• The product data label area near the crisper or lower liner
• The original sales listing or spec sheet for model 10658702803

What “cubic feet” means (and why it can look different)

“Cubic feet” is the total interior volume of the refrigerator and freezer compartments combined. Some listings show:

• Total capacity (fresh food + freezer)
• Refrigerator capacity only
• Freezer capacity only

Quick reference table

Capacity label you see	What it includes	What to do
Total capacity	Refrigerator + freezer	Use this for overall size comparisons
Refrigerator capacity	Fresh food section only	Use this for grocery storage planning
Freezer capacity	Freezer section only	Use this for frozen storage planning

Why it matters

Knowing the cubic feet helps you compare replacement models, plan food storage, and confirm you are buying correctly sized accessories (like bins and shelves) for the Kenmore Elite 10658702803.

Kenmore Elite launched as a premium Kenmore appliance line in 1999. Your specific Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 10658702803 was manufactured later than that; the exact build year is determined from the serial number on the unit and the date-code format shown in the 10658702803 owner's manual.

How to find the year your 10658702803 was made

On most Kenmore Elite side-by-side refrigerators, the serial/model tag is typically inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall or ceiling area), or on the cabinet frame near the door opening.

Use this checklist:

• Locate the model and serial number label inside the refrigerator compartment.
• Write down the full serial number (letters and numbers).
• Compare the serial format to the date-code guidance in the 10658702803 owner's manual.
• If the label is damaged, check for a secondary label near the lower hinge area or rear cabinet.
• Keep the serial number handy when ordering parts like a water filter or door gasket.

What “Kenmore Elite” means vs. your refrigerator’s build year

“Kenmore Elite” is a product line name, not a single release-year model. The line started in 1999, but Kenmore Elite refrigerators have been produced across many years with different designs, controls, and parts.

Quick comparison

Item	What it tells you	Example
Kenmore Elite launch year	When the Elite line first appeared	1999

Serial number	Identifies the unit’s manufacturing date	Used to determine build year

Why it matters

Knowing the manufacturing year helps us match the correct version of parts and service procedures for your refrigerator, especially for items that can change mid-production (controls, door hardware, ice maker and dispenser components).

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators, including model 10658702803, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal household use. With consistent maintenance (especially cleaning and airflow care), it is common to see service life push closer to the upper end of that range.

Typical lifespan and what to expect

Refrigerator longevity is usually limited by sealed-system wear (compressor and refrigerant components), defrost system reliability, and door sealing performance.

• Average range: 10 to 15 years
• Often replace vs. repair window: around years 8 to 12 (depends on the failed part and labor)
• Long-life drivers: clean condenser area, stable temperatures, good door seal, proper leveling
• Short-life drivers: restricted airflow, dirty coils, frequent door openings, warm garage installs

Age of refrigerator	What’s most common	What we recommend
0 to 5 years	Minor adjustments, occasional icemaker or dispenser issues	Keep temps stable; follow the 10658702803 owner's manual
6 to 10 years	Wear items, fans, defrost components	Address symptoms early to prevent food loss
10 to 15 years	Higher chance of major cooling or control failures	Compare repair cost vs. replacement value

Maintenance that extends life (high impact)

These steps help a side-by-side run cooler and reduce compressor run time.

• Vacuum dust from the condenser area and toe grille regularly
• Keep door gaskets clean and sealing evenly
• Avoid overpacking; leave space for air circulation
• Set typical temps: 37°F to 40°F fresh food, 0°F freezer
• Replace the water filter on schedule to protect dispenser flow and valve operation

If you use the dispenser, a clogged filter can cause slow water flow and can contribute to nuisance issues; the correct replacement for this model is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer cycles due to poor airflow or weak door sealing puts extra stress on the compressor and defrost system. Preventive care is the simplest way to reach the full 10 to 15 year lifespan.

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite 10658702803 side-by-side refrigerator include warm temperatures (cooling airflow issues), frost buildup (defrost system or door sealing issues), water or ice dispenser troubles (filter or valve issues), and unusual noises (fan or compressor-start components). Use the 10658702803 owner's manual to match symptoms to the correct checks.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coil, evaporator fan problem, blocked vents, control issue
• Freezer frosting up: failed defrost heater or defrost thermostat, door not sealing, frequent door openings
• Water dispenser slow or no water: clogged water filter, low house water pressure, frozen reservoir line, inlet valve issue
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply problem, frozen fill tube, inlet valve issue, temperature too warm
• Buzzing, clicking, or rattling: evaporator fan blade hitting ice, condenser fan noise, compressor start components cycling

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm temperatures: set freezer near 0°F and fresh food near 37°F; allow 24 hours to stabilize.
2. Clean airflow paths: vacuum the toe-kick area and gently clean the condenser area; keep vents inside clear.
3. Inspect door sealing: look for gaps, torn gasket areas, or doors that do not self-close.
4. Check for frost pattern: heavy frost on the freezer back panel often points to a defrost or airflow problem.
5. Verify water supply: make sure the shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.

Parts that commonly solve these issues on model 10658702803

Symptom	Common part area	Example part for this model
Frost buildup, warm freezer	Defrost system	Refrigerator defrost heater WP2323198, refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat WPW10225581
Warm temps, noise from freezer	Evaporator fan area	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142
No water, slow water, small ice	Filtration or water supply	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1, refrigerator water inlet valve WP2321753

Why it matters

Catching the root cause early prevents food spoilage and helps avoid secondary damage, such as a compressor running nonstop because airflow is restricted or a defrost failure turning into an ice blockage.
