Kenmore 25374192400 refrigerator Parts

The Kenmore top-mount refrigerator model 25374192400 is typically about 32 inches wide, 65-3/4 inches tall, and 26-5/8 inches deep (depth can vary slightly depending on how you measure the doors and handles). For the most accurate measurement points for your exact setup, use the owner's manual.

Dimensions to use for planning

Use these measurements when checking fit through doorways, cabinet openings, and clearances.

• Width: 32 in.
• Height: 65-3/4 in.
• Depth: 26-5/8 in.
• Plan extra space behind the unit for airflow and the power cord
• If your doors have a handle, measure depth to the front-most point

How to measure your refrigerator correctly

We recommend measuring in three ways so you do not get surprised during installation.

• Cabinet width: left edge to right edge at the widest point
• Height: floor to the top of the hinge cover/top panel
• Depth (two ways):
  • cabinet to front of door (no handle)
  • cabinet to front of handle (if equipped)

Quick reference table

Measurement	What it helps with	What to watch for
Width	Cabinet opening fit	Trim and door swing clearance
Height	Overhead cabinets	Leveling legs can change height slightly
Depth	Aisle clearance	Handles and door bins add depth

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents door-swing interference, ensures proper ventilation for the sealed system, and helps avoid cooling problems caused by tight clearances. The placement and clearance guidance in the installation guide is the best way to confirm your final fit.

On the Kenmore 25374192400 top-mount refrigerator, the top section is the freezer compartment. It is designed to keep foods frozen and, on some setups, it also supports an automatic ice maker and freezer lighting.

What you will typically find in the top (freezer) compartment

• Freezer shelves or a freezer panel for organizing frozen foods
• A freezer temperature control (often paired with the fresh food control)
• An ice maker (if your refrigerator is equipped for one)
• A freezer light and light shield on some models
• Air vents that circulate cold air to the refrigerator section

For model-specific operating details and compartment features, use the owner's manual.

Freezer vs. refrigerator section (quick comparison)

Section	Main job	Typical temperature range	Common issues when it is not right
Freezer (top)	Freezes food, supports ice making	0°F to 5°F	Soft ice cream, slow ice production, frost buildup
Fresh food (bottom)	Keeps food cold (not frozen)	34°F to 40°F	Warm milk, spoiled produce, condensation

Why the name matters when ordering parts

When you search parts for the “top part,” you usually need freezer-related components (lighting, ice maker parts, defrost parts, or door hardware). For example, if ice production is the concern, an assembly like the ice maker 5304458371 is the type of part you would match to symptoms.

Related tips for this model

• If the freezer door does not close tightly, cold air loss can affect both compartments.
• If you see heavy frost, defrost components (heater, thermostat, timer) are common suspects.
• If the freezer light is out, replace it with an appliance bulb of the same wattage as described in the manual.

Kenmore is a brand name sold by Sears, and different manufacturers build Kenmore refrigerators by model. For model 25374192400, the 253 model prefix identifies it as a Frigidaire-built (Electrolux/Frigidaire) refrigerator; you can confirm the model identification details in the owner's manual.

How to confirm the manufacturer on your refrigerator

We recommend checking the model and serial tag on the cabinet (usually inside the fresh food section) and matching it to the model number format.

• Look for the full model number: 25374192400
• Confirm the 253 prefix (this is the key identifier)
• Compare the model number on the tag to the one on your paperwork
• Use the parts list for this model to match common Frigidaire-style components (ice maker, defrost parts, door hardware)
• Keep the serial number handy when ordering parts

Why the manufacturer matters for parts and repairs

Kenmore branding stays the same, but the underlying design changes by manufacturer. Knowing that 25374192400 is Frigidaire-built helps you:

• Choose compatible replacement parts (ice maker, defrost heater, thermostat)
• Follow the correct troubleshooting steps for cooling, frost, and ice maker issues
• Avoid ordering look-alike parts that do not fit

Examples of model-matched parts on this refrigerator

System	Example part on this model	What it affects
Ice maker	Ice maker 5304458371	Ice production and harvest
Defrost	Refrigerator defrost heater 5303918247	Frost removal and airflow
Cooling airflow	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010	Cold air circulation

How to make sure you get the right part

Use your refrigerator’s full model number (25374192400) and confirm the part location in the diagrams.

• Find the model and component breakdown in the 25374192400 owner's manual
• Match the part by name and ID (not just by appearance)
• Compare your original part to the listing (mounting points, connectors, and finish)
• Check whether your refrigerator has optional features (like an ice maker)
• Replace related wear items at the same time when it makes sense (for example, door shelf supports with a shelf rail)

Common Kenmore 25374192400 parts customers replace

Here are a few examples of parts available for this model:

What it fixes	Example part for this model	What to look for
No ice or poor ice production	Ice maker 5304458371	Ice maker assembly vs. individual ice maker components
Frost buildup, warm fridge	Refrigerator defrost heater 5303918247	Heater, thermostat, and timer symptoms can overlap
Noisy fan, weak airflow	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010	Cracks, wobble, or rubbing on the shroud
Dim or no interior light	Refrigerator lamp bulb 316538904	Correct base type and wattage listed for the appliance

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators are built to be serviceable; using model-matched parts helps restore proper cooling, airflow, and door sealing. That protects food temperatures and reduces run time, which can help prevent repeat failures.

Quick tip before you order

If you are replacing a sealed-system component (like a compressor, evaporator, or condenser), we recommend using a qualified technician because refrigerant handling and brazing are required.

Kenmore refrigerators typically last 12 to 15 years with normal household use. Your Kenmore 25374192400 can often reach the high end of that range when basic maintenance is kept up, especially steady power, clean airflow around the unit, and good door sealing.

Typical lifespan and what changes it

Most refrigerator life comes down to how hard the sealed system and fans have to work.

• Clean condenser area regularly so heat can leave the system efficiently
• Keep door gaskets sealing so the compressor does not run nonstop
• Maintain proper airflow inside (do not block vents with food)
• Use stable power; low voltage can damage the compressor
• Fix frost buildup early to prevent airflow restrictions

Quick “repair vs. replace” guide

Use this as a practical rule of thumb for a top-mount refrigerator like model 25374192400.

If your fridge is…	Usually makes sense to…	Why
Under ~8 years old	Repair	Plenty of remaining service life
8 to 12 years old	Compare cost	Balance of repair cost vs. remaining life
12 to 15+ years old	Repair only if minor	Major sealed-system repairs can exceed value

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is struggling (warm temps, long run times, frost buildup, or poor door sealing) wears the compressor and sealed system faster. The owner guidance for this model also notes that insufficient power/voltage variation can damage the compressor, which directly shortens lifespan.

Parts that commonly support longer life

If you are addressing cooling performance or frost issues, these are common wear items we see on this model family:

• Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202
• Refrigerator defrost heater 5303918247
• Refrigerator timer 215846602
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010

For model-specific care and operating guidance, follow the maintenance and use sections in the owner's manual.
