Kenmore 25364722406 refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore model 25364722406, the model number alone does not reliably state the exact cubic-foot capacity; the most accurate way is to look up the capacity in the 25364722406 owner's manual or estimate it by measuring the usable interior space and converting cubic inches to cubic feet.

• Check the manual specs: Capacity is typically listed in the specifications section of the manual.
• Look for a rating label: Many refrigerators have a data plate inside the fresh food compartment that lists model and serial; some versions also list capacity.
• Measure and calculate (good estimate): Measure the main usable spaces and convert.
• Use the Kenmore prefix as a clue only: The 253 prefix commonly indicates a Frigidaire-built platform, but it does not guarantee a specific size.

1. Empty the compartment enough to measure the usable interior.
2. Measure width x depth x height (in inches) for:
   • Fresh food compartment
   • Freezer compartment
3. Multiply each set to get cubic inches.
4. Add them together.
5. Divide by 1,728 (12 x 12 x 12) to convert to cubic feet.

Knowing cubic feet helps you compare refrigerators accurately, choose correctly sized replacement shelves and bins, and set realistic expectations for storage space (especially when replacing an older top-mount unit).

On the Kenmore 25364722406 top-mount refrigerator, the upper section is the freezer compartment. It’s the coldest area of the appliance and is designed to keep foods frozen; many models also use this compartment for ice storage and ice maker operation (if equipped).

• Maintains freezing temperatures for long-term food storage
• Circulates cold air that helps cool the fresh food section below
• Provides space for ice trays or an automatic ice maker bin (if your model has one)
• Goes through periodic defrost cycles; some sounds and brief temperature changes are normal

When you’re ordering parts or troubleshooting cooling issues, using the correct name (freezer compartment) helps you match the right diagrams and instructions in the 25364722406 owner's manual. It also helps when diagnosing airflow problems, since cold air movement from the freezer affects refrigerator temperatures.

• Make sure air vents are not blocked by packages; leave space for airflow.
• Avoid overloading the freezer with warm food at one time.
• Confirm the refrigerator is level so doors close tightly.
• Keep the toe grille clear; blocking it can reduce airflow and cooling efficiency.

For Kenmore model 25364722406, the correct water filter depends on whether your refrigerator is equipped with a water and ice system that uses a replaceable filter. We use your model number to match the exact filter style and connection so you get proper fit and water flow; confirm the filter location and type in the 25364722406 owner's manual.

Check these common places on a top-mount refrigerator:

• Inside the fresh food compartment (upper right corner or ceiling)
• In the base grille at the bottom front
• Behind the refrigerator on the water line (inline filter)
• No filter installed (some setups filter at the house or do not filter)

If you find an inline filter on the back water line, it is typically a universal style that matches by tubing size and fittings, not by a “9081/9083” style number.

Use this checklist so the replacement seals correctly and does not restrict water:

• Filter location: inside cabinet, base grille, or inline
• Connection style: push-in, twist-lock, or threaded
• Water line size (inline filters): most commonly 1/4-inch OD tubing
• Flow symptoms: slow dispenser or small ice cubes can point to a restricted filter
• Installation notes: water supply should be 30 to 100 psi for typical ice maker operation

Using the correct filter prevents leaks at the housing, protects the water inlet valve and ice maker from sediment, and helps maintain normal water flow and ice production.

If you are replacing a cartridge-style filter, follow the steps and filter types in how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator.

On a Kenmore refrigerator, DH commonly indicates a defrost heater (defrost) problem, meaning the unit is not clearing frost from the evaporator as expected. On model 25364722406, start by checking for heavy frost on the freezer back wall and verifying the defrost components and airflow.

• Look for a thick frost layer on the inside rear freezer panel (classic defrost failure sign).
• Confirm the freezer door closes and seals fully; warm air leaks create excess frost.
• Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
• Set controls to normal settings and allow 24 hours to stabilize after changes.
• Listen for the evaporator fan running when the compressor is on.

A DH/defrost-related issue is usually caused by one of these:

• Defrost thermostat (bi-metal) not closing when cold
• Defrost heater circuit problem (heater, wiring, or control)
• Evaporator fan not moving air across the coil
• Air damper stuck, causing poor temperature balance

If you find heavy frost, the defrost thermostat is a common starting point: refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202.

1. Unplug the refrigerator before removing panels.
2. Remove the freezer’s rear interior panel and inspect the evaporator area.
3. If the coil is packed in ice, defrosting is not working.
4. Check wiring connections for looseness or corrosion.
5. If the fan is noisy, broken, or not spinning freely, inspect the blade: refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010.

When defrosting fails, frost blocks airflow through the evaporator, so the refrigerator section warms up even if the freezer still feels cold. Fixing the defrost issue restores airflow and stable temperatures.

For model-specific access steps and panel removal guidance, follow the 25364722406 owner's manual.
