Kenmore 5969535610 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore model 5969535610, the model number is printed on the nameplate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, at the front upper left corner. We use that model number to match the correct parts list, diagrams, and specifications for your side-by-side refrigerator in the owner's manual.

Check these spots in order (most common first):

• Open the refrigerator door and look along the front upper left interior wall/ceiling area.
• Look for a nameplate that lists Model Number and Serial Number.
• Wipe the area with a dry cloth; labels can be hard to read if dusty.
• Use a flashlight and read straight on; glare can hide characters.
• Write the model number exactly as shown (for example, 5969535610).

The manual recommends recording key identification details for service and parts matching.

Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators can look similar across multiple series. Using the exact model number helps us match the right components (like an ice maker, water inlet valve, or door parts) so you avoid ordering a part that does not fit.

Once you have the model number, you can order parts from the parts list for model 5969535610, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator capacity depends on the exact model number; many Kenmore Elite full-size refrigerators fall in the 25 to 30.6 cu. ft. range. For your Kenmore 5969535610 side-by-side, the Use and Care Guide shows a “25 cu. ft. model” example, which is the best match for this model family. See the 5969535610 owner's manual for the model identification section and feature diagram.

We recommend using the model identification information and the rating label details to match the correct spec for your unit.

• Check the nameplate inside the fresh food section (typically upper left area)
• Match the model number and manufacturing information to the correct spec listing
• Look for capacity listed as “cu. ft.” or “total capacity”
• If you are comparing models, confirm whether the number is total capacity or usable capacity

Capacity affects how much food you can store, how you organize shelves and bins, and what replacement parts fit correctly (for example, ice maker and dispenser-related components).

If you are troubleshooting ice production or dispenser performance on a 25 cu. ft. side-by-side layout, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator ice maker (red) D7824706Q
• Refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10245167
• Refrigerator union WP4373559

For additional parts by model number, you can also search on Sears PartsDirect.

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators weigh about 250 to 320 lb. For your specific Kenmore model 5969535610, the exact shipping and installed weight is listed in the specifications section of the 5969535610 owner's manual.

Side-by-side refrigerator weight varies mainly by cabinet size, dispenser/ice maker features, and insulation.

• Counter-depth models: often 220 to 280 lb
• Standard-depth models: often 250 to 340 lb
• Units with in-door ice and water: usually on the higher end
• Units with an ice maker installed: add a small amount of weight

Knowing the weight helps us plan safe moving, flooring protection, and delivery access. It also helps when you are leveling the cabinet or removing doors to fit through tight openings.

• Measure doorways and turns; remove doors/handles if needed (see the 5969535610 owner's manual)
• Empty food, bins, and shelves to reduce load
• Protect flooring with a rigid panel or appliance mat
• Use an appliance dolly and keep the refrigerator upright
• If it has an ice maker, shut off the water supply and disconnect the water line

If you are removing components for service before moving (for example, an ice maker), we list model-matched parts for 5969535610 on our parts page and in our catalog on Sears PartsDirect. A common example is the refrigerator ice maker (red) D7824706Q.

Many Kenmore refrigerators are built by Whirlpool; the quickest way to tell is the model number prefix. In most cases, Kenmore refrigerator model numbers that start with 106 are Whirlpool-built, and you can confirm the full identification details on the nameplate and in the owner's manual.

Kenmore uses a prefix system where the first three digits of the model number commonly indicate who built the appliance.

• 106.xxx: typically Whirlpool-built (common for many Kenmore refrigerators)
• Other prefixes can indicate other manufacturers (varies by product line and era)
• Always match the full model number on the refrigerator nameplate, not just what is on a receipt
• Use the model number to select compatible parts like an ice maker, water inlet valve, or dispenser components

For Kenmore 5969535610, the Use and Care Guide explains that the nameplate is located inside the refrigerator compartment, near the front upper left corner.

Knowing whether a Kenmore refrigerator is Whirlpool-built helps you choose the correct replacement parts and avoid ordering look-alike components that do not fit.

Common part categories affected by manufacturer design:

• Ice maker and ice handling parts
• Water system parts (valves, tubing, unions)
• Electrical start components (relay, overload, run capacitor)
• Door and dispenser switches

These are examples of parts listed for Kenmore 5969535610 that you would match by model during ordering:

We recommend ordering replacement parts using the parts list for model 5969535610 first; for broader model searches and diagrams, use Sears PartsDirect.

On Kenmore model 5969535610 (side-by-side refrigerator), ER IF is an ice-maker airflow related fault; it points to the fan and air ducting that move freezer air to the ice maker area. Restoring airflow and verifying the fan circuit typically clears the condition.

• Confirm both doors close fully and nothing is holding them open.
• Clear any food packages blocking freezer vents and the air return path.
• Look for frost or ice buildup around the ice maker area that could restrict airflow.
• Do a power reset: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Set the freezer control back to a normal setting after the reset.

If airflow checks and a reset do not help, these model-compatible parts are often involved in ice maker complaints:

• Refrigerator ice maker (red) D7824706Q (ice production and harvesting)
• Refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10245167 (water supply to the ice maker)
• Motor module W10190935 (ice maker drive/module component)

The ice maker depends on steady cold airflow from the freezer. When that airflow drops, the ice maker compartment warms up quickly; ice production slows and the refrigerator may post ER IF to flag the problem.

For operating tips and control settings for this refrigerator, use the 5969535610 owner's manual. You can also order model-compatible replacement parts from the parts list for 5969535610, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
