Kenmore 10651335710 refrigerator Parts

The Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10651335710 is a 21.9 cu. ft. class refrigerator (total capacity). For the exact capacity listing and the model-family details used by Kenmore (106.5133*), confirm the specification section in the 10651335710 owner's manual.

How to verify the capacity on your exact unit

Use these quick checks so you match the correct 106.5133* variation (the asterisk is the color code):

• Read the full model number from the ID tag inside the fresh food compartment
• Match the model family shown in the manual (models 106.5133* )
• Note whether you have an in-door ice and water dispenser
• Compare your shelf and bin layout to the manual illustrations
• Keep the serial number handy when ordering parts or scheduling service

Capacity at a glance

Spec	What it covers	Value
Total capacity	Refrigerator plus freezer combined	21.9 cu. ft.
Usable storage	What you can practically load	Less than total due to shelves, bins, and air channels

Why it matters

Knowing total cubic feet helps when you are comparing replacement refrigerators, planning kitchen fit, and avoiding overpacking. In a side-by-side design, blocking air vents with food can reduce cooling performance.

For Kenmore model 10651335710, the key to reading the model number is the prefix: the first three digits (106) identify the manufacturer family, and the remaining digits narrow down the exact side-by-side refrigerator configuration and version. Use the full model number when ordering parts or checking specifications in the 10651335710 owner's manual.

What each part of a Kenmore model number tells you

Most Kenmore model numbers follow a predictable pattern:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): identifies the manufacturing source family (example: 106)
• Core model digits: identify the base platform and major design
• Suffix/version digits: identify feature packages, revisions, and color/finish variations
• Asterisk or color code (in manuals): some Kenmore manuals show a wildcard like 106.5133* to cover multiple color variants

Example breakdown (your refrigerator)

What you see	What it means	Why it matters
10651335710	Full model number	Best match for parts lookup and diagrams
106.5133*	Model family shown in the manual	Confirms you are in the right Use & Care Guide

Where to find the model number on a side-by-side refrigerator

We recommend checking these common locations:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the light
• On the door frame (hinge side) when the door is open
• On the back of the cabinet (less convenient, but common)

Why it matters

Using the complete Kenmore model number prevents ordering the wrong refrigerator parts (like an ice maker, water inlet valve, or door gasket) because small digit changes can mean different wiring, mounting points, or dispenser styles.

On Kenmore model 10651335710, the ER FF error code indicates a freezer evaporator fan problem (the fan that circulates cold air through the freezer and into the fresh food section). When that fan cannot run correctly, refrigerator temperatures rise and cooling becomes uneven; follow the checks in the 10651335710 owner's manual.

What to check first (quick, no parts)

• Reset power: Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then plug it back in.
• Confirm airflow: Make sure food packages are not blocking the rear freezer vents.
• Check for frost: Heavy frost on the back freezer panel often points to restricted airflow.
• Listen for the fan: With the compressor running, the evaporator fan should run smoothly (no grinding or squealing).
• Verify door sealing: Make sure the freezer door closes fully and the gasket seals all the way around.

Common causes and typical fixes

What you notice	Most likely cause	What usually fixes it
No fan sound; refrigerator section warm	Evaporator fan motor not running	Test wiring and replace the fan motor if failed (often refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549)
Rubbing, ticking, or rattling in freezer	Fan blade hitting ice or damaged blade	Clear ice buildup; replace refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142 if cracked or warped
Heavy frost on freezer back wall	Defrost problem restricting airflow	Diagnose defrost system; replace refrigerator heater WP2323198 if the heater is not heating
Fan runs but temps drift	Airflow restriction or control issue	Recheck vents and damper paths; follow diagnostic steps in the manual

Why it matters

The evaporator fan is what moves freezer-made cold air where it needs to go. If it slows down, stops, or gets blocked by ice, the refrigerator side warms first and the unit can run longer than normal.

Most Kenmore refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life. For a Kenmore side-by-side like model 10651335710, lifespan depends most on basic care (airflow, clean coils, good door sealing) and fixing cooling or ice maker issues early using the 10651335710 owner's manual.

Typical lifespan ranges (what to expect)

Kenmore has been built by different manufacturers over the years, so real-world longevity varies by design and usage.

• Average: 10 to 15 years
• Common with good maintenance: 15 to 20 years
• Shortened lifespan drivers: dirty condenser coils, poor ventilation, repeated overheating, chronic frost buildup, and door gasket leaks

Condition	What you’ll usually see	Impact on lifespan
Clean coils, good airflow	steady temps, quieter running	longer life
Worn door gasket	sweating, warm spots, longer run times	shorter life
Fan or defrost trouble	frost buildup, warm fridge section	shorter life

Maintenance that adds years

These steps reduce compressor run time and prevent common failures.

• Clean condenser coils regularly (more often with pets)
• Keep vents inside the refrigerator and freezer unblocked
• Set temps to typical targets: 0°F freezer, 37°F refrigerator
• Confirm doors close fully and stay aligned
• Replace worn gaskets if you feel air leaks or see condensation
• Address unusual noises quickly (often fan-related)

Parts that commonly affect longevity

When these parts fail, the refrigerator often still runs, but performance drops and wear increases.

• Door sealing: Door gasket (black) 2159083 (air leaks force longer run times)
• Defrost system: Refrigerator heater WP2323198 (prevents heavy frost that blocks airflow)
• Air circulation: evaporator fan motor and blade (poor airflow causes warm temps and longer cycles)

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer to hold temperature uses more energy and puts extra stress on sealed-system components like the compressor. Keeping airflow clear and doors sealing tight is the simplest way to extend the life of your Kenmore 10651335710.

If your Kenmore 10651335710 side-by-side refrigerator ice maker is not making ice, the most common causes are the ice maker being switched off, the water supply not fully on (or a kinked line), low water pressure, or a restricted/misinstalled water filter. Use the 10651335710 owner's manual to confirm the correct On/Off switch and bin setup.

Quick checks that fix most “no ice” problems

• Turn the ice maker ON (the On/Off switch is accessed after removing the ice storage bin).
• Make sure the ice storage bin is fully seated.
• Confirm the household water shutoff valve is fully open.
• Straighten any kinks/pinches in the water line behind the refrigerator.
• After a new hookup or water shutoff, wait 24 hours for first ice and up to 72 hours for full production.

Water flow and filter troubleshooting

Restricted water flow can cause no ice, small cubes, or hollow cubes.

Symptom	Likely cause	What to do
No ice	Ice maker off, water off, kinked line	Turn on ice maker, open valve, straighten line
Small/hollow cubes	Low pressure, restricted filter	Check pressure, reinstall/replace filter
Cycles but no fill	Inlet valve not opening	Replace refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10179146

If you recently installed a filter, twist it fully into the housing until it locks; a partial turn can restrict flow.

When a part is the best fix

If the freezer is cold, the ice maker is on, and the mold never fills, the inlet valve is a top suspect. If the mechanism is stalled or damaged, replacement of the ice maker assembly is the practical repair.

Common parts for this symptom on model 10651335710:

• Refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10179146
• Refrigerator ice maker W10873791

Why it matters

Correcting water supply and filter issues first restores ice production and prevents unnecessary replacement of the ice maker.
