How to tell what model Kenmore refrigerator?
Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label inside the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment. For Kenmore model 10674254401, that label is on an inside wall of the refrigerator compartment; the model number is what we use to match the correct parts and instructions in the owner's manual.
Where to look for the model number label
Check these common spots in the fresh food compartment first:
- On an inside side wall (often right or left)
- Near the top interior liner (ceiling area)
- Behind or beside the crisper drawers
- On the frame area near the door opening (inside edge)
- Occasionally on a lower wall near the kick plate area (still inside the compartment)
What to write down (and why)
We recommend recording the key details exactly as shown on the label:
- Model number (example format in the manual: starts with 106.)
- Serial number
- Purchase date (from your receipt)
Why it matters
The model number identifies the exact design version of your refrigerator. That matters because parts like a refrigerator water filter, ice maker assembly, door gasket, or electronic control can vary by model even when the refrigerator looks similar.
Quick guide: model number vs. serial number
| Item on the label | What it tells us | When you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Which parts and diagrams fit your refrigerator | Ordering parts, looking up instructions |
| Serial number | The unit’s unique identifier | Service history, warranty paperwork |
If the label is hard to read
Try these steps to make the printing easier to see:
- Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth and dry it
- Use a flashlight held at an angle to reduce glare
- Take a close-up photo and zoom in
- Copy the characters carefully (0 vs O, 1 vs I)

How to fix a broken refrigerator water dispenser?
For Kenmore model 10674254401, a “broken” water dispenser is usually caused by the water supply being off, air trapped in the line, or a clogged or misinstalled water filter. Restoring flow typically comes down to filling and flushing the system, then checking the filter, tubing, and dispenser switch.
Quick fixes to restore water flow
- Confirm the home shutoff valve is fully ON and the supply line is connected.
- Fill the system: press and hold a sturdy container against the dispenser until water begins to flow.
- Flush the line: dispense and discard 2 to 3 gallons (8 to 12 L) (about 5 minutes) to clear air.
- If flow is weak, remove the filter and test dispensing; if flow improves, replace the filter.
- If it drips after dispensing, keep the glass under the spout 2 to 3 seconds after releasing; air can cause dripping for 24 to 72 hours.
Filter, tubing, and common parts to check
A restricted filter is the most common cause of slow or no dispensing.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| No water | Shutoff off, air in line | Turn on, fill and flush |
| Slow flow | Filter clogged/misinstalled | Reinstall or replace |
| Drips | Air in lines, glass removed too soon | Flush; hold glass longer |
If your refrigerator has no filter status light, replace the filter every 6 to 9 months, sooner if flow drops.
- Filter: refrigerator filter EDR6D1
- Dispenser control: refrigerator dispenser switch WP2162361
- If you suspect a frozen, kinked, or leaking line: refrigerator water tube 8201597
When to suspect the inlet valve
If the shutoff is ON, the system is filled and flushed, and a known-good filter still does not restore flow, the water inlet valve can be the cause.
- Listen for a click at the dispenser; no click often points to a switch issue.
- If you hear the valve hum but get no water, the valve or supply line is restricted.
Valve reference: refrigerator water inlet valve WP2188808
Why it matters
Air in the lines and a clogged filter reduce dispenser flow and can also affect ice maker performance.
For model-specific dispensing and flushing steps, follow the owner's manual.
