Kenmore 25360505512 refrigerator Parts

Your Kenmore refrigerator model number for model 25360505512 is printed on the appliance’s rating label. We most often see it inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall, inside the door area, or behind the toe grille (kickplate). Use the exact model number to match parts and manuals.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left or right side wall
• On the frame just inside the door opening (near the gasket)
• Behind the lower crisper drawers (on the back wall)
• Behind the toe grille (kickplate) at the bottom front
• Inside the freezer compartment on an interior wall

What the label looks like and what to write down

The rating label usually includes more than just the model number. Record these items exactly as shown:

• Model number (for this page: 25360505512)
• Serial number
• Electrical ratings (volts and amps)
• Sometimes a type or production code

Why the exact model number matters

Kenmore refrigerators can look similar across multiple model families, but parts like a door gasket, evaporator fan motor, or control board can vary by model. Using the correct model number helps ensure the parts list and diagrams match your refrigerator.

If you need to…	Use this info	Result
Order replacement parts	Model number + part ID	Correct fit and mounting points
Troubleshoot cooling issues	Model number + symptoms	More accurate diagnosis steps
Confirm clearances and setup	Installation specs	Proper airflow and door sealing

Helpful next steps

• Compare the label’s model number to the one on this page: 25360505512
• Use the 25360505512 installation guide for placement and clearance basics (airflow and leveling affect door sealing and cooling)
• If you see an error code on the display, use Kenmore 253 series french door refrigerator error codes to identify what it points to

Why it matters

A single digit off in the model number can lead to ordering the wrong refrigerator parts, which can cause poor door sealing, temperature problems, or installation fit issues.

Kenmore refrigerator model 25360505512 typically does not use one universal “reset” button. For most control glitches, we reset it by power-cycling the refrigerator (turning power off, then back on) and then confirming the temperature controls and door seals are set correctly per the 25360505512 owner's manual.

How to reset it (most common method)

• Unplug the refrigerator (or switch the circuit breaker off).
• Wait 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Set the fresh food and freezer controls back to your normal settings.
• Give the refrigerator time to stabilize; cooling performance can take several hours to fully normalize.

If the issue is related to ice maker or water

The installation instructions for this model emphasize correct water supply setup and leak checks, which can prevent “no ice” or weak fill symptoms that look like a control problem.

• Confirm the household water supply is on and connected.
• Use a cold water line with 30 to 100 psi water pressure.
• Use 1/4-inch OD copper tubing (plastic is more likely to leak).
• Avoid self-piercing shut-off valves.
• Tighten any leaking connections and recheck for leaks in 24 hours.

For ice maker behavior after a power interruption, follow the setup and switch position guidance in the installation guide.

Quick checks that often solve “needs a reset” complaints

Symptom	What to check first	Common fix
Lights on, not cooling	Controls accidentally changed	Reset temps, allow time to recover
Frost buildup, warm fridge	Airflow blocked	Clear vents, avoid overpacking
Door not sealing	Gasket not sealing or cabinet not level	Level unit, clean gasket
No ice after move/power loss	Water supply or ice maker switch	Verify water, turn ice maker on

Why it matters

A power-cycle clears minor electronic hiccups and forces the control to restart. If the real issue is airflow, leveling, or water supply, “resetting” alone will not fix it, so these checks save time and prevent repeat problems.

Most refrigerators, including Kenmore model 25360505512, are organized into five main storage compartments: the fresh food (refrigerator) section, the freezer section, crisper drawers, door bins/racks, and a deli or pantry-style area (when equipped). For model-specific layout details, use the 25360505512 installation guide and your 25360505512 owner's manual.

The 5 main refrigerator compartments (what they’re for)

• Fresh food compartment: Main refrigerated space for everyday items; typically kept around 37°F.
• Freezer compartment: Frozen storage; typically kept around 0°F.
• Crisper drawer compartment: High-humidity storage to help produce stay fresh longer.
• Door compartment (bins/racks): Quick-access storage for condiments and beverages; warmest area.
• Deli/pantry compartment (if equipped): A mid-temp zone for meats, cheeses, and snacks.

Quick comparison: where to store what

Compartment	Best for	Avoid storing	Temperature stability
Fresh food section	Leftovers, dairy, drinks	Raw meat uncovered	High
Freezer section	Frozen foods, ice	Items that thaw easily	High
Crispers	Fruits and vegetables	Open liquids	Medium
Door bins	Condiments, juice	Milk, eggs (long-term)	Low
Deli/pantry (if equipped)	Deli meats, cheese	Produce needing humidity	Medium

Why it matters

Using the right compartment helps food last longer and keeps temperatures more consistent. For example, door racks warm up fastest when the door opens, while crispers help manage humidity for produce.

Parts that commonly relate to these compartments

If a storage area is cracked, sagging, or not fitting correctly, these model-compatible parts are commonly involved:

• Crisper drawer - refrigerator storage component by frigidaire 240337103
• Refrigerator crisper drawer cover insert 240350608
• Door rack support (240534901) - refrigerator shelving part by frigidaire 240534901

Yes. For Kenmore refrigerator model 25360505512, we can replace many common parts ourselves (drawers, door hardware, gaskets, light bulb, ice maker) using basic tools and the steps in the 25360505512 installation guide. Leave sealed-system work (refrigerant lines, compressor) and complex electrical diagnosis to a technician.

Good DIY repairs for this model

These are typically straightforward because they involve accessible hardware and minimal wiring:

• Replace storage components such as the crisper drawer - refrigerator storage component by frigidaire 240337103
• Swap a burned-out light using the refrigerator light bulb 316538904
• Replace an ice maker module (if equipped) using the refrigerator ice maker IM116000
• Fix warm spots caused by a poor door seal by replacing the frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (black) 242193212
• Replace a broken door bin support using the door rack support (240534901) - refrigerator shelving part by frigidaire 240534901

Repairs to avoid as DIY

These repairs commonly require specialized tools, testing, or refrigerant handling:

• Sealed-system repairs (refrigerant leaks, evaporator, heat exchanger, compressor)
• Control board diagnosis when symptoms are intermittent
• Any repair that requires opening refrigerant tubing or brazing

Quick safety and setup checklist

Before we start any repair, we use these steps to prevent damage and reduce repeat problems:

• Unplug the refrigerator before removing covers, bulbs, or wiring-connected parts
• If moving the unit, do not lift or pull by the handles (use a hand truck from the side)
• Keep airflow open at the toe grille; blocked airflow causes poor cooling
• If connected to water, check for leaks after moving it and again about 24 hours later
• After changing temperature controls, wait 24 hours before making more adjustments

What tools and time to expect

Repair type	Typical tools	Typical time
Drawer, shelf, rack support	None to screwdriver	5 to 20 minutes
Light bulb	Gloves, possibly screwdriver	5 to 10 minutes
Door gasket	Screwdriver, warm water or hair dryer for shaping	30 to 90 minutes
Ice maker	Nut driver/screwdriver	30 to 60 minutes

Why it matters

DIY-friendly repairs help restore cooling performance, reduce energy waste from air leaks, and prevent food spoilage. For example, a worn gasket can let humid air in, which increases frost and makes the refrigerator run longer.
