Kenmore 10672002010 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore refrigerator model 10672002010, the ice maker is controlled by a wire shutoff arm (not a dedicated reset button). To “reset” it, we cycle the ice maker OFF and back ON, then allow time for a new harvest cycle to start. See the 10672002010 owner's manual.

Quick reset steps (wire shutoff arm method)

• Open the freezer door and locate the ice maker wire shutoff arm.
• Lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position until you hear/feel it click.
• Wait 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON (arm down) position.
• Close the freezer door and wait for operation to resume.
• Allow 24 hours for the first batch of ice after a reset or restart.

If you want a full “power reset” of the refrigerator

1. Turn the temperature controls to OFF (if your control panel has an OFF setting).
2. Unplug the refrigerator (or switch the circuit breaker OFF).
3. Wait 5 minutes.
4. Restore power and set temperatures back to normal.
5. Confirm the wire shutoff arm is down (ON).

What to expect after resetting

What you see	What it means	What to do
No ice right away	Normal after cycling power or turning ice maker back on	Wait up to 24 hours for first batch
Small/odd first cubes	Normal after water system work	Discard the first three batches
Water spurts at dispenser	Air in the water line	Flush water until flow is steady

Common reasons it still will not make ice

• Wire shutoff arm is stuck in the up position or blocked by the ice bin
• Freezer temperature is too warm (ice maker slows dramatically)
• Water supply is restricted (kinked line, clogged filter, low pressure)
• Ice maker assembly failure (consider refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q)
• Water inlet valve not opening consistently (consider refrigerator water inlet valve assembly WP12544124)

Why it matters

Cycling the wire shutoff arm clears simple “stuck off” conditions and restarts the ice maker’s normal fill and harvest sequence. It also helps after replacing a water filter or restoring water supply.

For Kenmore refrigerator model 10672002010, the correct replacement water filter is the one specified in the 10672002010 owner's manual. The manual also notes the disposable filter should be replaced at least every 6 months (or sooner if water flow drops).

How to identify the right filter for your refrigerator

Use these checks to match the correct filter type and avoid fit or leak issues:

• Confirm the model number on the rating label inside the fresh food compartment: 10672002010
• Check where the filter mounts; this model’s filter is inside the refrigerator compartment (upper right area)
• Look for a filter status indicator light; some versions use a “Replace” light and a “Filter Reset” touch pad
• Match the filter by the manual’s “Replacement Filter” listing (not by a generic “Kenmore filter” description)
• If you use reverse osmosis, confirm pressure is in range; low pressure can mimic a “bad filter” symptom

What the manual says about replacement and reset

The manual guidance for this Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator is:

Item	What to do	Typical timing
Replace interval	Replace the disposable water filter	Every 6 months minimum
Replace sooner if	Water flow to dispenser or ice maker decreases	As needed
Reset (indicator models)	Press and hold “Filter Reset”	3 seconds

If you are unsure after installing a new filter

These steps help confirm the filter is correct and the water system is working normally:

• Flush the system after replacing the filter; trapped air can cause sputtering
• Make sure the filter is fully seated and rotated clockwise until it stops
• Verify the household cold-water pressure is 35 to 120 psi
• If flow is weak, remove the filter briefly and test dispensing; a big improvement points to a clogged or misinstalled filter
• If you have reverse osmosis, remember the refrigerator’s filter can further reduce pressure

Why it matters

Using the correct filter for 10672002010 protects the filter head from leaks, keeps ice and water tasting clean, and prevents low-flow complaints that are actually caused by a mismatched or improperly seated filter.

Water underneath a Kenmore 10672002010 bottom-mount refrigerator is usually caused by defrost water not draining correctly (a clogged or frozen drain) or by a small leak in the ice and water system that drips down to the floor. Use the steps below to pinpoint the source and stop the leak.

Quick checks that solve most leaks

• Look for ice or frost on the freezer floor; that often points to a defrost drain issue.
• Check the drain pan underneath for cracks, shifting, or overflow.
• Inspect the water supply line connection at the back (especially if you have an ice maker).
• Watch for dispenser drips; 1 to 2 drops after dispensing is normal, but steady dripping is not.
• Confirm the doors close fully; warm air can create excess condensation and water.

Most common cause: clogged or frozen defrost drain

When the defrost cycle melts frost, water should flow through the drain to the drain pan. If the drain is blocked, water can back up, refreeze, and eventually leak out onto the floor.

What to do

• Unplug the refrigerator.
• Remove freezer items and check for a sheet of ice on the freezer bottom.
• Melt ice with warm (not boiling) water and clear the drain opening.
• Flush the drain with warm water until it flows freely to the pan.

If the drain tube is damaged or won’t clear, replacing the refrigerator drain tube W10619951 is a common fix.

If the leak is related to ice maker or water supply

A slow leak at the valve, tubing, or filter head can run down the cabinet and show up as a puddle underneath.

Symptom	Likely area to check	Common next step
Puddle near back of unit	Water line fittings	Tighten and reseat tubing
Leak only when ice maker fills	Inlet valve	Test and replace if seeping
Drips or wetness near filter area	Filter head or filter install	Reinstall and flush system

Helpful parts to consider if you confirm a water-system leak:

• Refrigerator water inlet valve assembly WP12544124
• Refrigerator water filter head W11346623
• Refrigerator water supply tube union, 5/16 x 5/16-in WP2300868

Why it matters

Leaks can lead to floor damage, ice buildup in the freezer, and poor cooling performance if airflow gets blocked by frost. Fixing the drain or water connection early prevents repeat leaks and helps the refrigerator run efficiently.
