Kenmore 10654203300 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 10654203300, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label located on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment. Open the fresh food door and look along the interior side wall for the identification sticker; it lists both model and serial information.

How to find the label quickly

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door
• Look on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment
• Check the side walls first; then scan near the front edge where the door gasket seals
• Use a flashlight; the print can be small or lightly faded
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown

What you should see on the sticker

The label typically includes these fields:

Label item	What it’s used for	Example for this unit
Model number	Matching parts and diagrams	10654203300
Serial number	Identifying production details	Varies by unit
Purchase date (you record it)	Service history and records	Your date

For the exact wording and “Product Record” section, use the 10654203300 owner's manual.

Why it matters

Using the correct model number helps us match the right Kenmore refrigerator parts and troubleshooting info for your exact configuration (ice maker, dispenser, door bins, and internal controls). Even small model number differences can change which parts fit.

If the label is hard to read

• Take a clear photo and zoom in to confirm characters
• Clean the label gently with a damp cloth and mild dish soap; dry immediately
• If you’re ordering parts, search by model first, then confirm the part ID before checkout on Sears PartsDirect

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 32 to 36 inches wide; the exact cabinet width varies by model and configuration. For your Kenmore 10654203300, use the dimensions and clearance guidance in the owner's manual to confirm the precise width for your installation.

Typical width ranges (what you can expect)

Most side-by-side refrigerators fall into these common width groups:

• 32 to 33 inches: space-saving models
• 35 to 36 inches: most common full-size width
• 36+ inches: larger capacity or specialty configurations

Installation clearances that affect “how much space you need”

Width is only part of the fit. Your Kenmore 10654203300 also needs side clearance so doors can open properly and air can circulate.

• Plan for 1/2 inch of space on each side and at the top for ventilation
• If installed next to a fixed wall, allow about 2 inches minimum on the wall side (door swing clearance varies by setup)
• Leave extra room behind the refrigerator if you have an ice maker water line

Quick planning table

Use this as a practical checklist when measuring your opening.

What to measure	What it tells you	Why it matters
Cabinet opening width	Whether the refrigerator body fits	Prevents binding or forced installation
Door swing clearance	Whether doors open fully	Avoids hitting walls, cabinets, or trim
Ventilation gaps	Whether heat can escape	Helps cooling performance and efficiency
Back clearance	Space for cord and water line	Prevents kinks and leaks

Why it matters

If the refrigerator is too tight in the opening, you can end up with poor airflow, doors that do not open fully, and harder access to the water line and electrical cord. Measuring for both width and clearances prevents installation problems.

If you end up needing replacement parts while you are setting up or servicing the unit, you can order model-matched parts for Kenmore 10654203300 from the parts list, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

On Kenmore refrigerator model 10654203300, the model and serial number label is located inside the refrigerator compartment on the inside wall. We recommend writing down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown for parts lookup and service records; see the 10654203300 owner's manual.

Common places to check on this style of refrigerator

If you do not spot the label right away, check these typical locations:

• Inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall
• Near the crisper drawers (often on the wall behind or beside them)
• Along the cabinet frame just inside the door opening
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment (less common)
• On a rear interior wall near the light housing

What to record (and why)

The label usually includes several identifiers. Recording all of them helps ensure you get the right Kenmore parts and diagrams.

Item to record	Example format	Why it matters
Model number	106.XXXXXXXXX	Matches the correct parts list and diagrams
Serial number	Letters and numbers	Helps identify production run details
Purchase date (your records)	Month/day/year	Useful for warranty and maintenance history

Tips if the label is hard to read

A worn label can still be usable with a few quick checks:

• Wipe the area with a damp cloth and mild soap; dry completely
• Use a flashlight at an angle to make faint printing easier to see
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in
• Copy characters carefully (0 vs O, 1 vs I)

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers can look similar, but small differences change which parts fit (for example, a water inlet valve, ice maker, or door cam). Using the exact model number from the label helps us match the correct replacement parts the first time.

Yes, replacing the ice maker is usually worth it on Kenmore model 10654203300 when the refrigerator is otherwise cooling well and you rely on ice daily; an ice maker replacement is typically far less expensive than replacing the entire refrigerator. Confirm the correct procedure and startup steps in the 10654203300 owner's manual.

When replacing the ice maker makes sense

We recommend replacing the ice maker when the rest of the refrigerator is performing normally and the problem is isolated to ice production or dispensing.

• The freezer temperature is stable and food stays frozen
• The ice maker will not cycle, overfills, or stops making ice consistently
• You see repeated ice jams or stripped drive components in the bin area
• You already verified the shutoff switch is in the ON position
• You use the dispenser often and want reliable ice output

Quick cost and value check

Situation	Replace the ice maker?	Why
Fridge cools normally; ice maker is the only failure	Yes	Lowest-cost fix for a high-use feature
Multiple cooling issues (warm freezer, heavy frost, no airflow)	Not first	Diagnose cooling/defrost issues before buying parts
You rarely use ice	Maybe not	Benefit is low even if the part cost is reasonable

What to verify before you buy an ice maker

The manual guidance for this style of Kenmore side-by-side is clear: after turning the ice maker on, allow time for production and discard initial batches.

• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice
• Discard the first three batches of ice produced
• Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply (softener chemicals can damage ice maker parts)
• If water spurts at the dispenser after service, flush the system until air clears
• Make sure the ice storage bin is seated correctly; the bin/door position can stop production

If you suspect a water supply problem (slow fill, hollow cubes, no fill), the refrigerator inlet valve W10822681 is a common related part to check.

Why it matters

A weak or failing ice maker can waste water, create clumping or poor-quality cubes, and lead to repeated jams at the dispenser. Fixing the ice system restores convenience without the cost and disruption of a full refrigerator replacement.

Ordering the right part

We recommend ordering replacement parts for Kenmore 10654203300 from the parts list for this model to ensure fit. If you are shopping by model number across appliances, search on Sears PartsDirect.

To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore 10654203300 side-by-side refrigerator, we disconnect power, shut off the water supply, remove the ice bin, swap the ice maker assembly, then restore power and water and flush the system so it makes clean ice again. See the 10654203300 owner's manual for safety steps and ice maker shutoff details.

Before you start (safety and prep)

• Unplug the refrigerator (or turn off the breaker) before servicing.
• Shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
• Empty the ice bin and remove it from the freezer door.
• Protect the floor with towels; a small amount of water can spill.
• Use two people if you need to move the refrigerator for access.

Basic replacement steps (typical side-by-side procedure)

1. Turn the ice maker off (switch to OFF or raise the shutoff arm, depending on your setup).
2. Remove the ice storage bin.
3. Remove the mounting screws holding the ice maker to the freezer wall.
4. Unplug the ice maker wiring harness connector.
5. Transfer any needed parts from the old unit to the new one (common examples: wire shutoff arm, mounting bracket, or fill cup, if your replacement does not include them).
6. Install the new ice maker, reconnect the harness, and tighten mounting screws.
7. Turn water back on, restore power, and turn the ice maker on.

After installation: what to do next

• Dispense water to flush the water system until flow is steady.
• Discard the first batch or two of ice; this clears air and any debris from the line.
• Check the fill tube area for drips during the first hour of operation.

Parts that commonly relate to ice maker and water issues

If the new ice maker still does not fill or harvest ice, these model-matched parts are common suspects:

Symptom	What to check	Model-matched part example
No water to ice maker	Water inlet valve not opening	Refrigerator inlet valve W10822681
Ice maker cycles but no ice drops	Ice maker module/assembly	Refrigerator ice maker WPW10190961
Weak water flow at dispenser and ice maker	Filter housing or restrictions	Refrigerator water filter housing WP2186443

You can order replacement parts from the parts list for model 10654203300, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Why it matters

Installing the ice maker correctly (power off, water off, secure mounting, and proper flushing) prevents leaks, protects wiring connections, and helps the ice maker start producing normally without air pockets in the water line.
