On Kenmore microwave/hood combo model 66568600891, the model and serial tag is located behind the microwave oven door on the front frame; use the complete number exactly as shown when looking up parts or the owner's manual.
Where to find the model number on this microwave/hood combo
For Kenmore 66568600891, check these spots first:
- Open the microwave door and look at the front frame area

- Write down both the model number and serial number (helpful for correct part revisions)
- Keep the info with your purchase records for faster troubleshooting and parts matching
How to interpret a Kenmore model number (what the digits usually mean)
Kenmore model numbers are typically structured so the early digits identify the source manufacturer and the remaining digits identify the design series and variations. For microwaves, the most important rule is to use the entire model number, not just the first few digits.
- Prefix/manufacturer code: often the first 3 digits (varies by product line)
- Base model series: the next group of digits
- Version/variation: the ending digits (color, feature set, production change)
Quick guide: what to use for common tasks

| Checking installation requirements | Full model number + installation guide | Confirms mounting and venting details |
| Troubleshooting symptoms | Full model number + symptom notes | Helps narrow likely causes |
Why it matters

How can I tell how many cubic feet my Kenmore refrigerator is?
Your Kenmore 66568600891 is a microwave/hood combo, not a refrigerator, so it will not list “cubic feet” the way a fridge does. For this model, we use oven capacity (cu. ft.) and you can confirm the exact capacity and specifications in the 66568600891 owner's manual.
How to find the capacity for model 66568600891
Use these reliable options (in order):
- Check the specifications section in the 66568600891 owner's manual for “oven capacity” or “capacity (cu. ft.)”.
- Look for the model and serial number plate on the unit (often behind the door area or on the oven frame); the manual’s “getting to know your microwave oven” section typically shows where this plate is located.
- If you are measuring for fit (cabinet opening, venting, mounting), use the 66568600891 installation guide for the correct installation clearances and venting requirements.
If you meant a refrigerator instead
If you were asking about a Kenmore refrigerator’s cubic feet, the fastest methods are:
- Find the rating plate inside the fresh food compartment; it often lists “Total volume” or “Cu. Ft.”
- Look up the refrigerator model number and check the listed capacity.
- Measure the interior (height x width x depth in inches) and divide by 1,728 to estimate cubic feet.
Microwave capacity vs. refrigerator cubic feet (quick comparison)
| Appliance type | What “cubic feet” describes | Where to confirm it |
|---|---|---|
| Microwave/hood combo (66568600891) | Oven cavity capacity | 66568600891 owner's manual |
| Refrigerator | Total interior storage volume | Rating plate inside fridge or owner’s manual |
Why it matters
Using the right measurement prevents ordering the wrong appliance type parts and helps you plan correctly for cooking space, cabinet fit, and venting. For example, venting layouts and duct sizing are installation-critical on over-the-range microwaves, and those details are covered in the 66568600891 installation guide.
