Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10652793100 has its exact cubic-foot capacity listed on the model and serial number label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment; that label is the most accurate source for your specific unit. We also list the full specifications in the owner's manual.

Where to find the cubic feet on model 10652793100

Check these common locations first:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on an interior side wall (where the model and serial number label is located)
• Near the crisper area or lower side wall inside the fresh food section
• On the ceiling area inside the refrigerator compartment (less common)

What you’re looking for

On the label, look for wording such as:

• "Capacity" or "Total capacity"
• "Refrigerator capacity" and "Freezer capacity"
• "cu. ft." (cubic feet)

If you only have the model number (no label access)

When you cannot read the rating plate, use these practical options:

• Check the specifications section in the owner's manual
• Measure the interior and estimate capacity (useful for planning shelves and bins, but not exact)
• Compare typical capacity ranges for Kenmore side-by-side units of this design

Method	Accuracy	Best for
Rating plate inside fridge	Highest	Exact cubic feet for your unit
Owner's manual specs	High	Confirming factory specs
Interior measurement estimate	Medium	Storage planning
Model-number pattern guessing	Low	Quick rough comparison

Why it matters

Knowing cubic feet helps us match the right refrigerator parts and accessories (like shelves, bins, and water filtration components) and helps you set realistic expectations for storage space and airflow around food.

For Kenmore model 10652793100, the key is reading the full model number exactly as printed on the model and serial label; the 106 prefix identifies the manufacturing source, and the remaining digits narrow down the exact side-by-side refrigerator design so you get the right parts and instructions. Use the label inside the fresh food compartment and confirm details in the 10652793100 owner's manual.

Where to find the model number on this refrigerator

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators like 10652793100, we look for the model and serial number label:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment (inside wall)
• On a sticker or plate that also lists the serial number
• Near where you would record the purchase date for service records

How to interpret a Kenmore model number (simple breakdown)

Kenmore model numbers are usually structured as a prefix + model identifier + variation digits.

• Prefix (first 3 digits): identifies the manufacturing source (for example, 106)
• Middle digits: identify the base platform or design family
• Ending digits: identify feature and production variations (color, dispenser setup, revisions)

Quick example

What you see	What it means	Why you care
10652793100	Full model number	Use this for parts lookup and manuals
106	Prefix	Helps match the correct parts system
52793100	Model details	Narrows to the exact configuration

Why it matters when ordering parts

Even small digit differences can change which parts fit (door gasket, water system parts, shelves, or ice maker components). When we match parts to 10652793100, we avoid common fit issues like:

• Wrong door gasket size or color
• Water line and filter housing mismatches
• Ice maker fill problems tied to the inlet valve
• Shelf and bin fitment issues

If you are troubleshooting water or ice issues on this model, the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 is a common related part to check.

Why it matters

Using the exact model number from the inside label ensures the parts diagram, replacement parts, and procedures match your refrigerator’s configuration, not just the general Kenmore 106 series.

A Kenmore 10652793100 side-by-side refrigerator usually stops cooling because power is interrupted, the controls are set to OFF or need a reset, airflow is blocked, or a cooling-system component (like the evaporator fan or defrost system) is failing. Start with the quick checks in the owner's manual.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the power cord is fully plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Check the home fuse or circuit breaker; reset or replace if tripped.
• Make sure the refrigerator and freezer controls are not set to OFF.
• Look for blocked air vents in either compartment; clear packages away from vents.
• If your model has digital controls, turn the unit OFF, then ON to reset.
• Wait 30 minutes if it may be in an automatic defrost cycle; cooling can pause briefly.

Common causes and what you will notice

What can cause “no cooling”	What you typically notice	What to do next
Power issue (outlet, breaker, cord)	No lights, no fan/compressor sound	Restore power, then recheck temps
Controls OFF or mis-set	Lights on, but temps rise	Set controls correctly; reset if digital
Blocked airflow	Freezer cold spots, fridge warm	Clear vents; improve air circulation
Evaporator fan problem	Warm fridge, weak airflow, unusual fan noise	Inspect fan area; consider replacing the fan blade
Defrost system problem (frost buildup)	Freezer back wall frosted, airflow drops	Check defrost components
Water/ice related issue is separate	Ice maker slow, but cooling may be OK	Diagnose water supply parts separately

Parts that commonly relate to cooling problems

If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142 (air movement across the evaporator)
• Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 (defrost temperature sensing and protection)
• Refrigerator heater WP2323198 (melts frost during defrost)

Why it matters

When cooling stops, food temperatures can rise quickly. Clearing vents and confirming the refrigerator is not in OFF mode or mid-defrost fixes many “sudden warm-up” complaints without replacing parts.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10652793100 are cooling issues, water or ice dispenser leaks, ice maker problems, and doors that do not seal or open smoothly. Many of these come down to airflow, defrost performance, and water supply or filter restrictions.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coils, blocked vents, evaporator fan problems, or a defrost failure causing ice buildup.
• Water leaking (inside or on the floor): clogged defrost drain, loose water line connections, or a leaking water inlet valve.
• Ice maker not making ice: restricted water supply, clogged filter, frozen fill tube, or inlet valve issues.
• Water or ice leaking at the dispenser: ice clumping in the bin, wrong ice type in the bucket, or user timing (not holding the glass under the chute long enough).
• Doors hard to open or not sealing: dirty or sticky door gaskets, misalignment, or worn door hardware.

Quick checks we recommend first (safe, no tools)

• Set temps to typical targets: 0°F freezer and 37°F refrigerator.
• Make sure air vents are not blocked by food packages.
• Clean the door gaskets with mild soap and water; sticky gaskets can make doors feel hard to open.
• If the dispenser leaks, empty and re-seat the ice bucket; clumped ice can cause spillover.
• If water flow is weak, check for a kinked supply line and confirm the shutoff valve is fully open.

Parts that commonly solve these problems on 10652793100

Problem area	What fails often	Example part for this model
Water dispenser or ice maker not filling	Water inlet valve not opening fully	Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
Frost buildup, warm fridge section	Defrost thermostat (bi-metal) not closing	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581
Frost buildup, no defrost heat	Defrost heater open	Refrigerator heater WP2323198
Weak airflow, noise from freezer	Fan blade damage or obstruction	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142

Why it matters

Cooling, ice, and leak complaints often share the same root causes: restricted airflow, a defrost system that cannot keep the evaporator clear, or a water supply problem (valve, filter, or tubing). Fixing the underlying cause prevents repeat failures and food temperature swings.

For model-specific troubleshooting steps (including dispenser leak checks and gasket cleaning guidance), use the owner's manual. For water line routing, shutoff valve setup, and connection details, use the installation guide.
