What are the dimensions of a Kenmore refrigerator model 10658902802?
The overall dimensions for Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658902802 depend on whether you measure the cabinet only or include the doors, hinges, and handles. Use the dimension definitions in the 10658902802 owner's manual and then measure your unit the same way to confirm fit.
How to measure 10658902802 the right way
- Measure width at the widest point (often hinges or door edges).
- Measure height from the floor to the highest point (hinge cover can be highest).
- Measure depth from the back to the front of the doors; then note handle projection separately.
- Record the opening width and height of your cabinet cutout.
- Check door swing clearance so doors open fully without hitting a wall.
Cabinet vs. overall dimensions
| Dimension type | What it includes | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet dimensions | Main box only | Built-in look, rough planning |
| Overall dimensions | Doors, hinges, handles | Final fit, walkway projection |
| Cutout opening | Your cabinet space | Installation clearance check |
Typical clearance targets for side-by-side refrigerators
- Sides: 1/8 to 1/4 inch each side
- Top: about 1 inch
- Back: about 1 inch (add more if the outlet or water line sticks out)
Why it matters
Using the same measurement definitions as the manual prevents surprises like a handle hitting a wall, doors not opening fully, or restricted airflow that can cause warm temperatures.

What is the ER if code on a Kenmore Elite?
The ER IF (or Er IF) code on a Kenmore Elite refrigerator, including model 10658902802, points to an ice fan (ice compartment fan) airflow problem. That fan moves freezer air through the ice maker and dispenser area; when airflow drops, ice production and dispensing performance suffer.
What you will usually notice
- Ice maker slows down or stops making ice
- Ice clumps in the bin or cubes look wet or hollow
- Little to no cold air reaching the ice chute area
- Freezer temperature may be normal, but the ice area is warm
- Fan noise changes (rattling, buzzing) or the fan goes quiet
Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts
- Reset power: Unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker) for 2 minutes, then restore power.
- Check for ice buildup: Frost or ice around the fan ducting can block airflow.
- Confirm freezer settings: Set freezer to about 0°F and refrigerator to about 37°F.
- Inspect the ice bin and chute: Clear jammed ice and make sure the bin seats fully.
- Listen for the fan: With the freezer door switch held closed, you may hear the fan run (some models delay fan operation).
Common causes and what typically fixes it
| Likely cause | What it affects | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Frost or ice blocking airflow | Air cannot reach the ice compartment | Defrost blockage; correct door seal or defrost issue |
| Fan blade obstructed or damaged | Fan cannot move air | Clear obstruction; replace fan blade if needed |
| Defrost system problem | Repeated icing returns | Diagnose heater/thermostat/control |
| Control or wiring issue | Fan not powered correctly | Check connections; test control circuits |
Parts that are often involved on this model
If troubleshooting points to a defrost-related airflow blockage, these model-matched parts are commonly checked:
For model-specific access points, wiring routing, and diagnostic notes, use the 10658902802 manual.
Why it matters
The ice fan is what keeps the ice maker and dispenser path cold. When airflow is restricted, the ice compartment warms up, cubes melt and refreeze, and the refrigerator can struggle to maintain consistent ice production.

Where is the model number on a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10658902802, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label (the same label that lists the serial number). On most side-by-side units, you will find this label inside the fresh food compartment along the side wall or near the door opening.
Where to look first (fast checklist)
- Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door and check the left and right interior side walls
- Look around the door frame opening (the vertical face the gasket seals against)
- Check near the top front ceiling area inside the fresh food compartment
- If you do not see it, check the freezer compartment side wall near the front
What the label looks like
The ID label is usually a small white or silver sticker or plate that includes:
- Model number (for example, 10658902802)
- Serial number (a mix of letters and numbers)
- Electrical ratings (volts/amps) and sometimes refrigerant information
Quick ID tips
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| “106.58902802” with a dot | Same model family format | Use 10658902802 when searching parts |
| Letters plus numbers labeled “Serial” | Serial number | Record it for service history |
| Multiple long numbers | Not all are the model | Use the one explicitly labeled “Model” |
Why it matters
We use the exact model number to match the correct Kenmore parts and diagrams. Even small model variations can change items like the refrigerator ice maker, water inlet valve, or water filter fit.
After you find it
- Write the model number exactly as shown
- Take a clear photo of the label for future reference
- Use the model number to confirm parts such as the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1
For model-specific label locations and illustrations, check the 10658902802 owner's manual.
