Kenmore 10652602100 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

For your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10652602100, the most reliable way to confirm cubic feet is to check the rating plate for a capacity listing (often shown as “Cu. Ft.” or “Total volume”). If it is not listed, we use interior measurements to calculate an accurate estimate.

Where to find the capacity information

Check these common locations first:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• Along the ceiling area inside the refrigerator section
• Behind the toe grille (kick plate) at the bottom front
• On an inside edge near the door opening

If you need help identifying labels and access panels for this model, use the 10652602100 owner's manual.

How to calculate cubic feet (quick method)

If the rating plate does not show capacity, measure the usable interior space and calculate it.

1. Measure height, width, and depth of the interior in inches (measure each compartment separately if you want a more precise total).
2. Multiply: H × W × D = cubic inches.
3. Divide by 1728 to convert to cubic feet.

Measurement tips that improve accuracy

• Measure the usable space, not the outside cabinet size.
• Subtract areas taken up by fixed components (ice maker housing, air tower, light cover) if they significantly reduce space.
• For a side-by-side, calculate refrigerator and freezer sections separately, then add them.

Typical results and what they mean

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators in the 106 model family land in a common capacity range.

What you’re checking	What you’ll get	Best for
Rating plate capacity	Exact listed cubic feet	Confirming official capacity
Measured interior volume	Close estimate	Comparing sizes, planning storage

Why it matters

Cubic feet helps us match the right accessories and expectations for storage, airflow, and ice maker performance. It also helps when comparing replacement parts that vary by design, such as an ice maker assembly like the refrigerator ice maker 2198597.

Many Kenmore refrigerators made by Whirlpool are identified by the model number prefix; for example, Kenmore model 106 units (including 10652602100) are Whirlpool-built. Use the first three digits of the Kenmore model number to quickly confirm the manufacturing source.

How to tell from the model number

Look at the first three digits (the prefix) on the rating label or paperwork.

• 106: Whirlpool-built Kenmore refrigerators (common for side-by-side models)
• 110: Whirlpool-built Kenmore laundry products (common outside refrigeration)
• 665: Whirlpool-built Kenmore dishwashers (common outside refrigeration)
• The remaining digits identify the specific design series and features
• The prefix is the fastest way to match parts and service information correctly

Quick reference table (common Whirlpool-built Kenmore prefixes)

Kenmore prefix	Common product types	What it means for parts
106	Refrigerators	Many core components cross-reference to Whirlpool designs
110	Washers, dryers	Whirlpool-built laundry platform
665	Dishwashers	Whirlpool-built dishwasher platform
198, 552	Various appliances	Often Whirlpool-built (varies by product line)

Why it matters when ordering parts

Using the correct manufacturer platform helps us match the right components for your exact configuration (ice maker, water system, defrost system, door hardware).

• For ice production issues, a common replacement is the refrigerator ice maker 2198597
• For dispenser or no-water symptoms, the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 is a frequent match on Whirlpool-built Kenmore 106 platforms
• For door closing and sealing concerns, check the installation guide for leveling and door alignment basics before replacing parts

Best practice for confirming your exact match

Even within the Whirlpool-built Kenmore 106 family, versions can differ by color, dispenser style, and wiring.

• Confirm the full model number: 10652602100
• Compare the part description to your symptom (ice, water, cooling, door seal)
• Use the diagrams and procedures in the owner's manual
• Order from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect

On the Kenmore 10652602100 side-by-side refrigerator, the electronic temperature control panel is located at the top of the refrigerator compartment (inside the fresh food section). You access it by opening the refrigerator door and looking up along the top interior trim.

What you should see on this model

Most 106-series Kenmore side-by-side models use an interior top control panel that shows the refrigerator and freezer set points and may include water filter status and reset features.

• Control panel is inside the refrigerator section, not on the exterior door
• It sits at the top of the fresh food compartment
• It includes temperature controls for FREEZER and REFRIGERATOR
• Some versions include a water filter indicator and RESET function

For the exact layout and button names used on your unit, use the diagrams and control descriptions in the owner's manual.

Quick access and basic checks

If you are trying to find the panel because temperatures are off or the display is blank, these steps help narrow it down:

• Open the refrigerator door and check the top interior panel for a digital display or indicator lights
• If the display is off, confirm the refrigerator has power and the interior lights work
• If temperatures are drifting, verify the set points are near 0°F (freezer) and 37°F (refrigerator)
• If the water filter light is on, replace the filter and use the panel’s reset procedure
• If the dispenser area is your focus (ice or water issues), the dispenser controls are separate from the interior temperature controls

Control panel vs. dispenser controls (what’s different)

Feature	Where you use it	What it affects
Temperature controls	Top of refrigerator compartment	Cooling performance, ice production rate
Water filter status/reset	Top of refrigerator compartment	Filter reminder and reset percentage
Ice/water dispensing options (if equipped)	Dispenser area on freezer door	Cubed/crushed selection, dispenser light/lock

Why it matters

Finding the correct control panel location helps you adjust temperatures accurately, reset the water filter indicator, and troubleshoot cooling or ice production problems without disassembling the dispenser or door.

If you need replacement parts related to ice production or water supply for this model, we list common options such as the refrigerator ice maker 2198597 and refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 on the parts list for Kenmore 10652602100, and you can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

For your Kenmore 10652602100 side-by-side refrigerator, reset it by turning the temperature control(s) to OFF, disconnecting power, then restoring power and returning the controls to your normal settings. This clears minor control glitches and restarts normal cooling.

Reset methods for model 10652602100

Power reset (most reliable)

• Turn the refrigerator or freezer control (thermostat) to OFF
• Unplug the refrigerator (or switch the circuit breaker OFF)
• Wait 5 minutes
• Plug back in (or turn the breaker ON)
• Set controls back to the desired settings
• Recheck operation after 30 minutes (it may be in a defrost cycle)

Control locations and settings are shown in the 10652602100 owner's manual.

OFF then ON reset (digital-control versions)

Some versions use digital controls; turning the unit OFF and then ON again performs a reset without unplugging.

If the reset does not fix the symptom

A reset helps with minor glitches, not failed parts or airflow problems. Check:

• Power: breaker tripped, plug loose
• Controls: not left in OFF
• Airflow: packages blocking vents
• Defrost: allow at least 30 minutes after restart
• Ice maker: allow 72 hours after installation for full production

If you are troubleshooting weak water flow to the dispenser or ice maker, inspect the water supply and consider the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179.

Quick reference

Situation	Best reset	What to expect
Not cooling or acting erratic	Power reset	Compressor and fans restart; temps recover over several hours
Controls unresponsive	OFF then ON (or power reset)	Controls reinitialize
After moving/cleaning	Power reset	Normal restart after reconnecting power

Why it matters

Resetting the right way prevents repeated short-cycling and helps separate a simple control glitch from issues like blocked vents, defrost trouble, or a water supply problem.

For replacement parts for model 10652602100, order from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
