Where is the model number on a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
On Kenmore model 10657575791 side-by-side refrigerators, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, typically on the side wall. The exact label location is shown in the 10657575791 owner's manual.
Where to look (fast checklist)
- Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door
- Look along the inside side walls at about mid-height
- Check near the crisper and meat drawer area (label is often nearby)
- Use a flashlight; the label can be easy to miss in low light
- Wipe dust or residue off the label so the numbers are readable
What you should see on the label
The label typically includes both identifiers you may need for parts and service.
| Item | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts to your exact refrigerator | 106.XXXXXXXXX |
| Serial number | Identifying production details for service | Letters plus numbers |
Why it matters
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore parts diagrams and compatible replacement parts (like an ice maker assembly, thermostat, or door gasket). The serial number helps narrow down production variations when a model has multiple revisions.
Tip for recording it correctly
- Write the model number exactly as shown (include all digits)
- Take a clear photo of the label for future reference
- Keep it with your purchase paperwork for quicker ordering and troubleshooting

How can I tell how many cubic feet my Kenmore refrigerator is?
For your Kenmore refrigerator model 10657575791, the most reliable way to confirm cubic feet (capacity) is to look it up in the specifications section of the 10657575791 owner's manual. If you need a quick estimate, you can calculate capacity by measuring the interior and converting cubic inches to cubic feet.
Fast ways to find capacity
- Check the specifications/capacity section in the 10657575791 owner's manual.
- Look for a model and serial tag inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall or ceiling area); use the model number to match specs.
- Estimate it yourself by measuring the usable interior (not the outside cabinet).
How to calculate cubic feet yourself
- Empty a shelf area enough to measure accurately.
- Measure the interior width, depth, and height in inches.
- Multiply:
width x depth x height = cubic inches. - Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet.
Quick conversion table
| What you have | What to do | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Interior measurements in inches | Multiply L x W x H | Cubic inches |
| Cubic inches | Divide by 1,728 | Cubic feet |
Tips so your estimate is realistic
- Measure the main open cavity, then subtract space taken by fixed features (air ducts, light housings, ice chute area).
- If you measure both compartments, calculate fresh food and freezer separately, then add them.
- Use the largest rectangular space you can measure consistently; shelves and bins vary.
Why it matters
Capacity helps you compare replacement parts and accessories (like bins and pans), plan food storage, and understand cooling expectations for a side-by-side layout.

Where is the reset button on a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators like model 10657575791 typically do not have a single, dedicated “reset button.” The practical reset is a power reset: turn the refrigerator control to OFF, disconnect power briefly, then restore power and set the control back to your normal temperature setting (see the 10657575791 owner's manual).
How to “reset” a Kenmore 10657575791 (safe power reset)
- Turn the thermostat or refrigerator control to OFF.
- Unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the circuit breaker).
- Wait about 5 minutes to let the control fully power down.
- Restore power.
- Set the control back to your normal setting and allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
If you are trying to reset a specific problem
Different symptoms point to different fixes. Use this quick guide to choose the next step.
| What you are trying to fix | What to check first | Common next step |
|---|---|---|
| Fridge not running | Outlet power, breaker/fuse, control set to OFF | Power reset, then recheck in 30 minutes |
| Ice maker not making ice | Water supply on, ice maker switch/arm position | Inspect ice maker and ice bin for jams |
| Dispenser not working | Dispenser lock, frozen water line, door switch | Check for ice buildup and airflow issues |
| Lights not working | Bulb seated, bulb burned out | Replace with correct appliance bulb |
Parts that are often involved (when the issue is ice-related)
If the “reset” you need is really an ice maker recovery, these model-compatible parts are commonly involved:
- Ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943 (no ice production or intermittent cycling)
- Refrigerator ice bin WPW10670845 (ice not dispensing, bin cracked, or auger issues)
- Refrigerator water tube W10823511 (slow fill, frozen tube symptoms)
Why it matters
A true reset button is rare on refrigerators; most “reset” situations are either a control power cycle or a symptom that needs a targeted check (power, controls, ice maker water supply, or dispenser components). Following the manual’s OFF and unplug steps also reduces electrical shock risk during troubleshooting.

Why is my Kenmore side by side ice maker not working?
If your Kenmore 10657575791 side-by-side refrigerator ice maker isn’t making ice, the most common causes are the freezer not being cold enough, the ice maker shutoff arm being OFF (up), or the refrigerator water supply valve being turned off. Use the checks below, then follow the steps in the 10657575791 owner's manual.
Quick checks that fix most “no ice” problems
- Confirm the freezer is cold enough for ice production; after changes, allow 24 hours.
- Make sure the ice maker arm is ON (arm down), not OFF (arm up).
- Verify the home shut-off valve to the refrigerator is fully turned on.
- Look for a cube jammed in the ejector arm; remove it with a plastic utensil.
- If the unit was just hooked up, wait 24 hours for first ice.
- If you recently emptied the bin or used a lot of ice, allow 24 hours to recover.
Step-by-step troubleshooting (in the right order)
- Set expectations: After installation, full output can take up to 72 hours; typical production is 70 to 120 cubes per 24 hours once cooled.
- Check freezer temperature: If foods feel soft or ice cream is not firm, correct the temperature settings and wait 24 hours.
- Confirm water supply: Ensure the supply shut-off valve is on and the water line is not restricted.
- Clear mechanical jams: Remove any stuck cube from the ejector area using a plastic utensil.
- Inspect the ice maker itself: If the mold stays dry after water supply and temperature checks, the ice maker assembly may be the issue.
What to replace if the basics check out
| Symptom | Most likely area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Mold stays dry (no fill) | Ice maker assembly or water supply issue | Ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943 |
| Ice production is low | Temperature setting, recent heavy use, or restricted water flow | Follow manual steps first |
| Cubes jam in mechanism | Ejector area obstruction | Clear jam; avoid sharp tools |
Why it matters
An ice maker needs two things to work reliably: cold enough freezer temperatures and steady water flow. Fixing those first prevents unnecessary part replacement and usually restores ice production quickly.
