Kenmore 25360002410 refrigerator Parts

For a Kenmore refrigerator, the model number is printed on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. On model 25360002410, the Use and Care information indicates the serial plate is located inside the refrigerator compartment; match the full model number exactly as shown. See the 25360002410 owner's manual for the exact label location and how to record the model and serial.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on an interior wall (serial plate)
• Near the crisper drawer area (often on the side wall above or behind drawers)
• Along the door frame area when the refrigerator door is open
• Behind the toe grille or near the lower front area (less common, but worth checking)

What the model number label looks like

Most Kenmore top-mount refrigerators use a data plate that lists Model and Serial. The model number is usually a full number string (for example, 25360002410), and the serial number is a different code.

Label item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Ordering correct parts, checking fit	253XXXXXXXXX
Serial number	Identifying production run details	Letters and numbers
Purchase date (written by you)	Service records	Month/day/year

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong parts

• Copy the model number exactly, including all digits
• Take a clear photo of the serial plate before it fades
• Use only soap and water to clean the serial plate so the printing stays readable
• If the label is hard to read, write down every character you can and compare it to your parts list

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers determine the correct fit for common replacement items like a door gasket, evaporator fan motor, temperature sensor, or ice maker. Even small model number differences can change shelf rails, controls, and wiring.

For Kenmore model 25360002410, the most accurate way to confirm cubic-foot capacity is to use the model and serial information from the serial plate inside the fresh food compartment, then match it to the specifications listed in the 25360002410 owner's manual. This avoids guessing based on similar 253-series models.

Where to find the capacity information

In most Kenmore top-mount refrigerators, capacity is documented in the product specifications section of the Use and Care Guide and is tied to the exact model number.

• Look for the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment (the manual notes the model and serial information is located there).
• Record the full model number exactly as shown: 25360002410.
• Check the specifications/capacity section in the 25360002410 owner's manual.
• If you are comparing similar units, use only 253.6000-series documents that match your exact model.

Quick reality check: what “cubic feet” means

Cubic feet is the total interior storage volume (fresh food plus freezer). It is useful for comparing refrigerators, but it does not tell you how much usable shelf space you will have.

What you’re checking	What it tells you	Best place to confirm
Total capacity (cu. ft.)	Overall interior volume	25360002410 owner's manual
Model/serial plate	Exact model identity	Inside refrigerator compartment
Shelves/bins layout	Usable storage flexibility	Manual “Features at a glance” section

Why it matters

Using the exact capacity for 25360002410 helps when you are planning kitchen fit, comparing replacement models, or troubleshooting cooling performance expectations (for example, how quickly the refrigerator should recover temperature after loading groceries).

Related setup tip (helps performance)

Proper installation affects how well the refrigerator cools and seals.

• Keep the toe grille unblocked for airflow.
• Make sure the cabinet is level front-to-back so doors close and seal.
• Avoid “walking” the refrigerator side-to-side when moving it.

For Kenmore model numbers, we read the prefix first because it identifies the manufacturing source or product family; then we use the remaining digits to match the exact design and parts list. For Kenmore refrigerator model 25360002410, the 253 prefix is the key identifier, and the full model number is what you should use when ordering parts or checking specifications in the owner's manual.

Where to find the model and serial number on this refrigerator

On Kenmore top-mount refrigerators like 25360002410, the model and serial information is on the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment.

• Open the fresh food (refrigerator) door and look along the inner walls
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown
• Use only soap and water to clean the serial plate so the printing stays readable
• Keep the numbers with your purchase records for future reference

How Kenmore model numbers are typically structured

Kenmore model numbers are usually easiest to interpret in two parts: the prefix and the remainder.

• Prefix (first 3 digits): points to the manufacturing source or product family
• Remainder: identifies the specific configuration, revision, and features
• Full model number: is what we use to ensure parts fit (shelves, gaskets, controls, motors)

Quick example using your model

Model number piece	Example	What it tells us
Prefix	253	Kenmore refrigerator family identifier used for parts matching
Full model	25360002410	Exact unit version for correct parts and documentation

Why it matters

A single digit difference can change fit and wiring, especially for items like a control board, temperature sensor, or door gasket. Using the complete model number helps us match the correct diagrams, part IDs, and installation details the first time.

Tip for ordering the right part

When you shop by model 25360002410, you can narrow quickly to common replacements such as:

• Refrigerator light bulb 316538904 (interior light)
• Refrigerator temperature sensor 240597220 (temperature feedback)
• Refrigerator ice maker IM116000 (optional ice production)

Most Kenmore refrigerators, including top-mount models like 25360002410, typically last 10 to 15 years. With consistent care (especially keeping airflow clear and temperatures stable), it’s common to reach the upper end of that range before major sealed-system or control issues become more likely.

Typical lifespan and what usually fails first

A refrigerator’s life is often limited by a few high-wear systems. Here’s what we see most often over time:

• Cooling airflow parts wear out (evaporator fan motor, condenser fan motor)
• Temperature sensing/control drifts (thermistors, control boards)
• Door sealing degrades (gaskets, hinge bushings), causing longer run times
• Lighting and small hardware fail earlier (bulbs, rails, bins)
• Sealed system components (compressor, evaporator) tend to be later-life repairs

Maintenance that extends life (high impact)

These steps reduce run time, heat load, and moisture problems, which are the biggest lifespan killers:

• Vacuum dust from the condenser area and keep rear/bottom airflow open
• Keep door gaskets clean and sealing flat; correct door sag quickly
• Set stable temps (typical targets: 37°F fresh food, 0°F freezer)
• Avoid overpacking; blocked vents cause warm spots and longer compressor cycles
• Replace failed bulbs with the same wattage listed in the owner's manual

Quick “repair or replace” guide

Use this as a practical decision tool when your Kenmore refrigerator is aging.

If your refrigerator is…	And the issue is…	Usually makes sense to…
Under ~10 years	Light, rails, bins, sensors	Repair
10 to 15 years	Fan motor, gasket, icemaker	Repair if cost is reasonable
Over ~15 years	Compressor, evaporator, control board	Compare repair cost vs. replacement

Parts that commonly support longer service life

When cooling performance drops or doors do not seal well, these model-compatible parts are often involved:

• Refrigerator temperature sensor 240597220 (helps regulate cycling and temperatures)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 242219302 (supports airflow across the evaporator)
• Refrigerator door hinge bushing 5304507146 (helps prevent door sag and seal leaks)

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer to hold temperature uses more electricity and puts extra stress on the compressor and control system. Simple upkeep and quick fixes to airflow and sealing can add years of dependable operation.
