Kenmore 10654263300 refrigerator Parts

Kenmore model numbers are structured so the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer, and the remaining digits narrow down the design family and exact variation. For your Kenmore refrigerator model 10654263300, the 106 prefix is the key that tells us who built it.

How to break down a Kenmore model number

Most Kenmore model numbers follow this pattern:

• First 3 digits: manufacturer prefix (who made it)
• Next set of digits: base model design (platform or series)
• Last digits: feature, color, or production variation (the exact version)

To confirm the exact format used on your unit, match the full number from the rating plate to the examples in the 10654263300 owner's manual.

Common example format

Here is a simple way to read what you typically see:

Section	Example	What it means
Manufacturer prefix	106	Identifies the manufacturer behind the Kenmore brand
Base model digits	54263	Identifies the core design family
Variation digits	300	Identifies the specific version (features or revision)

Where to find the model number on the refrigerator

On most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, the model/serial tag is usually located:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• Near the crisper drawer area
• Along the door frame edge (fresh food side)
• Occasionally behind the toe grille area

Write the model number exactly as shown (including all digits) so we can match the correct parts list.

Why it matters

Kenmore used the same brand name across multiple manufacturers. That means the prefix helps us route you to the right diagrams and parts (for example, an ice maker assembly, water inlet valve, or thermostat that fits your exact build).

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10654263300 are cooling issues, water leaks, ice maker and dispenser failures, and unusual noises. These usually trace back to airflow problems (fans or frost buildup), water supply components, or door sealing and leveling.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser area, failed evaporator fan, defrost system trouble (ice buildup restricting airflow)
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged defrost drain, cracked water tubing, or a leaking inlet valve
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, inlet valve problem, or ice maker assembly failure
• Strange noises: normal compressor and fan sounds, rattling from water lines, sizzling during defrost, or a failing fan motor
• Doors not closing well or hard to open: dirty or sticky gaskets, refrigerator not level, or door alignment issues

Quick checks we recommend first (safe, no parts required)

1. Listen and observe: buzzing during ice maker fill, gurgling at cycle end, and fan airflow sounds can be normal operation (your 10654263300 owner's manual describes common sounds).
2. Check door seal and closing: clean sticky gaskets and confirm the cabinet is level so doors self-close.
3. Look for frost buildup: heavy frost in the freezer points to a defrost airflow problem.
4. Inspect for leaks: check the water line connections and look for dripping at the valve area.

Common part fixes for this model (when symptoms match)

Symptom	Likely area	Example part on this model
No ice or slow ice production	Water supply to ice maker	Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
Ice maker dead or inconsistent	Ice maker module/assembly	Ice maker assembly 4317943
Warm fridge/freezer, airflow weak	Temperature control/airflow system	Refrigerator thermostat WP2198202

Why it matters

Cooling, leaks, and ice maker problems often share the same root causes: restricted airflow, poor sealing, or inconsistent water supply. Catching these early helps protect food temperatures, reduces ice buildup, and prevents water damage.

Your Kenmore refrigerator model 10654263300 has a total capacity of 21.9 cubic feet. This number is the combined storage volume of the fresh food compartment and the freezer, and it helps you compare usable space across side-by-side refrigerator models.

How to confirm capacity for your exact configuration

We recommend checking the capacity listing in your 10654263300 owner's manual. Capacity is sometimes shown alongside installation clearances and feature details, and it is the best place to confirm the spec tied to your model label.

• Look for a “Specifications” or “Product data” section
• Check for “Total volume” or “Total capacity” wording
• Verify your model number on the inside wall label in the refrigerator compartment
• If your unit has an ice maker, remember the ice bin can reduce usable freezer space

What “21.9 cu. ft.” means in practical terms

Capacity is a standardized measurement, but day-to-day usable space depends on shelves, bins, and accessories.

What you are measuring	What it includes	What can change usable space
Total capacity (21.9 cu. ft.)	Refrigerator + freezer volume	Shelf positions, bins, ice storage
Usable space	What you can actually load	Crisper pans, door bins, ice container

Why it matters

Knowing the cubic feet helps when you are planning food storage, comparing replacement refrigerators, or deciding whether to add or replace storage components like a crisper pan or meat pan.

If you are replacing broken storage parts, you can order model-matched items from the parts list for this refrigerator, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
