Kenmore 25351699103 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 32 to 36 inches wide; your Kenmore 25351699103 is in that typical range. For the exact cabinet width (and required clearance for doors and airflow), we recommend checking the dimensions section in the 25351699103 owner's manual.

Typical width ranges (what you can expect)

Side-by-side refrigerator widths vary mainly by capacity and whether the unit is counter-depth.

• Standard-depth side-by-side: typically 33 to 36 in. wide
• Counter-depth side-by-side: typically 32 to 36 in. wide
• Common “fits most spaces” size: about 36 in. wide
• Door swing matters: handles and door bins can add needed clearance beyond cabinet width

Measure it the right way (cabinet vs. doors)

To avoid a tight fit, we measure and plan for more than just the cabinet.

What to measure	Where to measure	Why it matters
Cabinet width	widest point of the metal cabinet	Confirms the opening size you need
Door/handle projection	front-most point with doors closed	Prevents sticking out past counters
Door swing clearance	space needed to open doors fully	Ensures drawers and bins can pull out
Side and top clearance	gap to walls/cabinets	Helps airflow and prevents rubbing

Why it matters

Correct width and clearance help the doors seal properly, reduce warm air leaks, and prevent frost or cooling complaints. Proper leveling also supports door closing and sealing, which is called out in the use and care guidance for this style of refrigerator.

Parts that often relate to “fit” issues

If the refrigerator fits but doors do not seal or close well, these parts are commonly involved:

• Door seal issues: refrigerator gasket 241786014
• Interior bin interference: frigidaire refrigerator door bin 240356402
• Crisper area alignment: refrigerator crisper pan 240351061

On the Kenmore 25351699103 side-by-side refrigerator, the water filter is located inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, in the upper right area. The parts diagram in the 25351699103 owner's manual shows the filter position in the refrigerator section.

How to find it quickly

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door
• Look along the upper right interior wall/ceiling area
• Check for a short, cylindrical cartridge housing labeled for the water filter
• If you see a small cover or filter head, that is the access point
• Keep a towel handy; a few drops of water are normal during removal

If you are replacing the filter

For this model, the compatible replacement shown in our parts list is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB (part number 9911).

Basic replacement checklist

• Dispense a few cups of water after installation to clear air and carbon fines
• Confirm the filter is fully seated and locked to prevent leaks
• If your dispenser flow is slow, replace the filter first before troubleshooting valves or tubing

Common locations on side-by-side refrigerators (comparison)

Even though your 25351699103 places it in the upper right of the fresh food section, side-by-side designs commonly use one of these locations:

Location	What it looks like	Why it is used
Upper right inside refrigerator	Cartridge in a filter head or behind a small cover	Easy access without moving the unit
Base grille (toe grille area)	Twist-in filter behind the lower front grille	Keeps filter out of the food area
Top access area	Filter under a top trim panel	Clean look, quick service access

Why it matters

Knowing the exact filter location helps prevent cracked housings, cross-threading, and leaks. It also speeds up routine maintenance, which helps protect the ice maker and water dispenser from low flow and sediment buildup.

Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25351699103 is typically in the 22 to 26 cubic feet range. The most accurate capacity for your exact configuration is listed in the 25351699103 owner's manual, and it is based on usable interior storage space, not exterior cabinet measurements.

How to estimate cubic feet (quick method)

If you want a rough estimate, we calculate interior volume (not the outside of the cabinet):

• Measure the inside width (left wall to right wall)
• Measure the inside height (floor to ceiling of the compartment)
• Measure the inside depth (back wall to the inside front edge)
• Multiply: width x height x depth (in inches)
• Divide by 1,728 to convert cubic inches to cubic feet

Example calculation

Measurement type	Example (inches)	Notes
Interior width	20	Measure inside the liner
Interior height	60	Exclude the light housing if it reduces space
Interior depth	18	Do not include door bins
Estimated cubic feet	12.5	20 x 60 x 18 / 1728

What affects the “real” capacity

Two refrigerators with the same exterior size can have different usable cubic feet. Capacity changes based on:

• Insulation thickness and cabinet design
• Ice maker and air duct space in the freezer
• Shelf and drawer layout (crisper pans, deli area)
• Door bin depth and divider placement
• Evaporator cover and fan housing space

Why it matters

Cubic feet helps you compare storage space and choose the right replacement parts and accessories (like shelves, bins, and drawers) that match your exact Kenmore 25351699103 layout.

If you are also troubleshooting cooling or airflow issues that reduce usable space (frost buildup, warm spots), checking the evaporator airflow components such as the refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 can be a practical next step.

To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore 25351699103 side-by-side refrigerator, we shut off power and water, remove the ice bin, remove the ice maker mounting screws, disconnect the wiring harness, install the replacement unit, then restore water and power and turn the ice maker back on. Use the 25351699103 owner's manual for the correct wire signal arm ON/OFF position and access details.

Before you start

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off the breaker.
• Turn off the household water shutoff valve.
• Lift the wire signal arm to the UP (OFF) position.
• Remove the ice container by lifting up and out (do not use the ice chute as a handle).
• Place a towel in the freezer to catch ice and drips.

Replacement steps (typical side-by-side)

1. Remove the ice maker cover (if equipped).
2. Remove the mounting screws while supporting the ice maker.
3. Unplug the wiring harness connector.
4. Transfer any bracket or fill cup from the old unit if your replacement requires it.
5. Mount the new ice maker, reconnect the harness, and reinstall screws.
6. Restore power and turn the water back on.
7. Lower the wire signal arm to the DOWN (ON) position.

After installation: what’s normal

What happens	What it means	What we do
First cubes look cloudy or taste odd	Fresh water path after reconnecting	Discard the first batches
Slow ice at first	Freezer and mold are stabilizing	Allow up to 24 hours
Sounds during cycling	Water fill, motor, ice dropping	Normal operation

Why it matters

A fully seated harness plug and correct wire-arm position prevent “no ice” complaints; a careful restart also helps avoid leaks that can freeze the fill area.

On the Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25351699103, the model number is printed on the serial plate located inside the refrigerator compartment. Use that label to record both the model and serial number for parts lookup and service reference; see the 25351699103 owner's manual.

Where to look (fast checklist)

• Open the fresh food (refrigerator) door, not the freezer door
• Look along the inside walls of the refrigerator compartment
• Check near the upper side wall or around the crisper area (common label locations)
• Use a flashlight; the print can be small or lightly colored
• Write the model number exactly as shown: 25351699103

What you should copy from the label

The serial plate typically includes both identifiers. Record both so we can match the correct Kenmore parts list.

Item on label	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Ensures the correct parts diagrams and part compatibility	25351699103
Serial number	Helps identify production details for service and some part variations	Letters plus numbers

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers that start with 253 often share similar styling across multiple refrigerators, but parts like a refrigerator water filter, door gasket, or ice maker components can vary by exact model. Using the serial plate info prevents ordering the wrong replacement.

Parts help once you find the model number

After you confirm 25351699103, you can order common replacements from the parts list for this model or search by model on Sears PartsDirect. If you are working on water quality or dispenser flow, the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB is one of the listed parts for this model.
