Where to find model number on Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
On your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10652282202, the model and serial number label is located on the inside wall of the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment. Open the fresh food door and look along the interior side walls for the tag.
- Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door
- Check the inside left and right walls at about eye level
- Look near the crisper area and the upper shelf area
- Wipe the area with a damp cloth; labels can be hard to read under residue
- Use your phone camera light to spot the printed tag
You will typically see these fields on the tag:
| Label item | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Model number | Matching the correct parts list and diagrams |
| Serial number | Identifying production details for service records |
| Purchase date (you record it) | Warranty and maintenance tracking |
We use the model number to match the exact Kenmore configuration (doors, dispenser, ice maker, and water system). That prevents ordering the wrong part, especially for common replacements like the refrigerator water filter EDR5RXD1 or an ice maker assembly.
- Remove food items that block the side walls
- Check for a tag that is vertical (printed top-to-bottom)
- Look for a white or silver sticker with small black text
- Confirm you are looking in the refrigerator compartment, not behind the base grille
For additional location details and appliance identification tips, use the owner's manual.

Why is the ice maker not working on my Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
If the ice maker isn’t working on your Kenmore 10652282202, the most common causes are the ice maker being turned off, the freezer not cold enough yet, the water supply valve being closed, or a clogged/incorrectly installed water filter. Use the checks below to restore ice production.
- Give it time after install or hookup: wait 72 hours for full ice production; after the refrigerator is cold, typical output is 70 to 120 cubes per 24 hours.
- Confirm the ice maker is ON:
- Style 1: lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON (down) position.
- Style 2: slide the ON/OFF switch to ON (left) at the top right of the freezer compartment.
- Verify the water supply is ON: make sure the household shutoff valve feeding the refrigerator is open.
- Check for a jam: remove any ice stuck in the ejector area using a plastic utensil.
- Check the filter: a clogged or misinstalled filter can stop water flow to the ice maker; replace it if needed.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| No ice at all, new install | Not cooled down yet | Wait 72 hours; then recheck output |
| Ice maker silent, bin empty | Ice maker turned OFF | Turn ON using arm or switch |
| Mold is dry (no water) | Water supply off or restricted | Open shutoff valve; check filter |
| Ice maker tries to cycle but stalls | Ice jam in ejector | Clear jam with plastic utensil |
| Slow ice production | Freezer temp too warm or heavy use | Wait 24 hours after changes; avoid frequent door opening |
- If the filter is overdue or suspected clogged, replace the refrigerator water filter EDR5RXD1.
- If water isn’t entering the ice maker (and the supply valve is on), a failing inlet valve is a common cause; see refrigerator inlet valve W10408179.
- If the ice maker assembly won’t cycle or harvest properly, replacement is often the fix; see ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943.
An ice maker needs the right freezer temperature, an ON signal (arm or switch), and steady water flow. One small interruption, especially a closed shutoff valve or restricted filter, stops ice production even when the water dispenser still works.
For model-specific control locations and ice bin removal steps, follow the owner's manual.

How to replace water filter in Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
To replace the water filter in your Kenmore 10652282202 side-by-side refrigerator, remove the old base grille filter cartridge, install the new cartridge (either behind or through the base grille, depending on your filter style), then flush 2 to 3 gallons of water and reset the filter status light if your model has one. See the owner's manual for the exact steps and illustrations.
- Use the correct replacement filter for your refrigerator.
- Keep a towel or shallow pan handy; some water can spill from the old cartridge.
- If your dispenser flow has slowed or the filter light is red, replacement is due.
- We recommend replacing the filter every 6 to 9 months on models without an indicator.
Recommended replacement part: Refrigerator water filter EDR5RXD1
Your filter is located below the freezer door at the base grille. Kenmore 106 models commonly use one of these two styles:
- Remove the base grille.
- Rotate the cartridge counterclockwise to a vertical position.
- Pull the cartridge out.
- Remove the protective cover from the new filter O-rings.
- Push the new cartridge in until it stops, then rotate clockwise to horizontal.
- Locate the filter cap in the front base grille.
- Rotate the cap counterclockwise to vertical and pull the cap and cartridge out.
- Slide the cap off the old cartridge (do not discard the cap).
- Install the cap on the new cartridge.
- Push the new cartridge in until it stops, then rotate clockwise to horizontal.
After installing the new filter:
- Dispense and discard 2 to 3 gallons (8 to 12 liters) of water.
- Expect sputtering or spurting at first as air clears.
If your refrigerator has a filter status light:
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Status light is red | Replace the filter, then reset |
| After replacement | Press the status light switch 5 times within 10 seconds |
| Reset complete | Light changes from red to green |
A fresh water filter helps maintain normal water dispenser flow, supports ice maker performance, and reduces the chance of off-tastes or odors caused by an overdue cartridge.
