Kenmore 10658903800 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 33 inches to 36 inches wide; for your specific Kenmore 10658903800, we recommend confirming the exact cabinet width and required clearances in the owner's manual.

Typical width ranges (what you can expect)

Side-by-side refrigerators commonly fall into these width buckets:

• 32 3/4 in. to 33 in.: many standard-capacity models
• 35 1/2 in. to 36 in.: many larger-capacity models
• Counter-depth versions can still be 33 in. or 36 in. wide (depth changes more than width)

Don’t forget clearance space (it affects the real footprint)

Even after you confirm the cabinet width, plan for the space the refrigerator needs to breathe and for the doors to open.

From the Kenmore 10658903800 installation guidance:

• Allow 1/2 inch of space on each side and at the top for ventilation
• If installed next to a fixed wall, leave at least 2 inches on the hinge side (depending on layout) so the door can swing open
• If the unit has an ice maker, allow extra space behind for the water line

Quick planning table

What you’re measuring	What to include	Typical target
Cabinet width	Refrigerator body only	~33 in. or ~36 in.
Opening width	Cabinet width + side clearance	cabinet width + ~1 in.
Wall-side swing clearance	Space near a fixed wall	~2 in. minimum

How to measure width the right way

Use a tape measure and check more than one spot.

• Measure the widest point of the cabinet (not the door handles)
• Measure the opening at the front and back (walls can be out of square)
• Confirm the door swing path if the refrigerator sits next to a wall
• If you are replacing an older unit, measure the old refrigerator and compare

Why it matters

Width is only part of fit. Ventilation gaps and door swing clearance prevent overheating, reduce noise complaints, and make drawers and bins usable day to day.

On a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator like model 10658903800, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label (the same label that lists the serial number). We use that model number to match the correct parts, diagrams, and troubleshooting information.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the fresh food (refrigerator) door and inspect the cabinet walls near the front opening
• Check the side wall around the crisper drawer area
• Look along the top interior frame just inside the door opening
• If you do not see it in the fresh food section, check the freezer door opening frame
• Use a flashlight; the label is often small and easy to miss

What the label looks like

The ID label typically includes both a model number and a serial number. The serial number format varies, but it is usually a mix of letters and numbers.

Item on label	What it’s used for	Why we need it
Model number	Identifies the exact refrigerator design	Ensures parts fit your 10658903800 configuration
Serial number	Identifies the production unit	Helps confirm version changes and date-related variations

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators can look similar across multiple model numbers, but internal components (water filter style, ice maker design, door parts, and controls) can differ. Using the exact model number from the label prevents ordering the wrong water filter, inlet valve, or ice maker.

Helpful next step

Once you find the label, compare the model number character-for-character with what you’re searching. For diagrams and model-specific details, use the owner's manual.

The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 10658903800 are cooling problems (often airflow or defrost related), water leaks, ice maker or dispenser failures, and unusual noises. The troubleshooting section in your owner's manual helps you narrow the cause by symptom.

Most common problems and what they usually point to

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coils, failed evaporator fan, defrost system trouble (ice buildup)
• Frost buildup in the freezer: defrost heater or defrost thermostat issues
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged defrost drain, cracked water tubing, loose fittings
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, inlet valve problem, failed ice maker assembly
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: clogged water filter, frozen water tube, inlet valve issue
• Clicking, buzzing, or rattling noises: fan blade hitting ice, failing fan motor, compressor start components

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts guessing)

• Confirm the freezer is at 0°F and the fresh food section is at 37°F.
• Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
• Clean condenser coils and verify the unit has good airflow around it.
• Check door seals for gaps, tears, or areas that do not grip paper.
• If you have an ice maker or dispenser issue, verify the household shutoff valve is fully open.

Parts that commonly solve these symptoms on 10658903800

Symptom	Common culprit	Example part for this model
Slow water, bad taste, dispenser issues	Clogged water filter	Refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1
No ice, no water fill	Water inlet valve not opening	Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
Frost buildup, warm freezer	Defrost system failure	Refrigerator defrost heater WP2323198 or refrigerator bi-metal thermostat WPW10225581
Warm fridge, noisy freezer area	Evaporator fan not moving air	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549

Why it matters

Most “not cooling” and “ice maker not working” complaints come down to airflow (fans, blocked vents, dirty coils) or water flow (filter restriction, inlet valve). Fixing the root cause quickly helps prevent food spoilage, repeat icing, and extra wear on the compressor.

On a Kenmore 10658903800 side-by-side refrigerator, a “stopped cooling” complaint is most often caused by a power issue, the refrigerator control being set to OFF, or blocked air vents that prevent cold air from circulating between the freezer and fresh food sections. For model-specific control locations and airflow diagrams, use the 10658903800 owner's manual.

Quick checks we recommend first (no tools)

• Confirm the unit is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet and the outlet has power.
• Check the house breaker or fuse and reset/replace if needed.
• Make sure the refrigerator control is ON (not set to OFF).
• Look for blocked vents (packages, cereal boxes, soda cases) in the freezer bottom and the refrigerator top vent area.
• Verify doors are closing fully and not being held open by bins or food.
• After any change, allow time for temperatures to stabilize (cooling performance does not improve instantly).

Most common causes and what they look like

What’s happening	What you’ll notice	What to do next
Control set to OFF or too warm	Lights work, but compartments warm	Turn controls ON and set to normal; recheck after several hours
Airflow blocked between sections	Freezer may be colder than fridge, or temps swing	Clear vents and avoid packing food against vent openings
Door left ajar or poor seal	Frost, moisture, warm temps, long run times	Ensure doors close; inspect gasket contact all around
Evaporator fan problem	Warm fridge, weak airflow, unusual fan noise or no fan sound	Inspect for ice buildup; if fan is not running, check refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549
Defrost system issue (ice blocking airflow)	Frost/ice on rear freezer panel, reduced airflow	Check defrost components such as refrigerator defrost heater WP2323198 and refrigerator bi-metal thermostat WPW10225581

Why it matters

This model is designed to move cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator through specific vents. When vents are blocked or frost builds up, airflow drops and both temperature and moisture problems can show up even if the compressor is running.

Parts that commonly solve “not cooling” symptoms

If the quick checks do not restore cooling, these are frequent repair paths for this Kenmore 10658903800:

• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315549 (restores airflow)
• Refrigerator defrost heater WP2323198 (melts frost during defrost)
• Refrigerator bi-metal thermostat WPW10225581 (helps control defrost cycling)
• Refrigerator temperature control WP2315562 (addresses control-related temperature issues)
• Refrigerator run capacitor WPW10662129 (starting/running support for the compressor circuit)

On Kenmore model 10658903800, the dispenser has a small removable tray at the bottom that you pull out by hand for emptying and cleaning. Remove it straight out from the dispenser area, wash it, then slide it back in so it sits flat.

Steps to remove and reinstall the dispenser drip tray

• Remove any glass and wipe up standing water first.
• Grip the front edge of the tray at the bottom of the dispenser.
• Pull the tray straight out toward you (no tools needed).
• Empty and wash with warm water and mild dish soap.
• Dry the tray and the dispenser ledge.
• Slide the tray straight back in until it is fully seated.

If the tray feels stuck

Sticky spills can hold the tray in place. These checks free it up without damaging the dispenser trim:

• Wiggle gently while pulling straight out (avoid twisting).
• Wipe the tray edges and the ledge with warm, damp cloth to soften dried residue.
• Check for chips, cracks, or warping that can cause binding.
• Make sure no ice pieces or debris are wedged behind the tray.

Drip tray vs. drain pan (common mix-up)

Some customers mean the removable dispenser tray; others mean the internal defrost drain pan under the cabinet.

Item	Location	Typical purpose	Removal difficulty
Dispenser drip tray	Bottom of the door dispenser	Catches small spills at the dispenser	Easy, hand-removable
Defrost drain pan	Under the refrigerator near the compressor	Collects defrost water for evaporation	Usually requires moving the unit

Why it matters

Keeping the dispenser tray clean and fully seated helps prevent sticky buildup, odors around the dispenser, and water tracking down the freezer door.

For model-specific dispenser details and cleaning guidance, follow the 10658903800 owner's manual.
