Kenmore 25351694103 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25351694103, the model number is printed on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. Open the refrigerator door and look for the rating label on an interior wall, then record the full model number exactly as shown.

Where to look (fast checklist)

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door
• Check the inside walls of the refrigerator compartment
• Look for a serial plate/rating label with model and serial information
• Copy the model number exactly (all digits, no spaces)
• Use that model number when ordering parts or checking diagrams

What the label usually includes

Most Kenmore refrigerator serial plates list these items together:

Label item	What it’s used for
Model number	Matching the correct parts and diagrams
Serial number	Identifying production details for service history
Electrical ratings	Verifying power requirements

Why it matters

We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore parts for your exact configuration (ice maker, water filter setup, door style, and internal shelving). Even small model-number differences can change which gasket, control, or water valve fits.

Tip for ordering parts

Once you find the model number, compare it to the model shown on your documentation. Your owner's manual also references where this information is located and gives you a place to record it for future use.

Yes. We still carry replacement parts for Kenmore refrigerators, including model 25351694103. You can match parts by model number and then choose the exact component you need, such as a water filter, door gasket, light bulb, or water inlet valve; all made to fit and function correctly.

How to find the right part for Kenmore 25351694103

Start with the model number and then confirm the part by name and ID. Your owner's manual also helps you identify features like the ice and water system and maintenance intervals.

• Use the full model number 25351694103 when searching
• Match the part by part name and part ID (not just a description)
• Compare the part’s location on the refrigerator (freezer door, fresh food door, dispenser area)
• For water and ice issues, check the filter and water supply parts first
• For air leaks or frost, check door gaskets and door alignment

Common Kenmore refrigerator parts people replace

Here are a few frequently needed parts that apply to this model:

Symptom or need	Likely part	Example from this model’s parts list
Bad taste, slow water flow, filter light on	Water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB
No ice or weak water dispensing	Water valve	Refrigerator water valve 242252702
Warm temps, poor airflow, noisy fan	Evaporator fan blade	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010
Frost buildup, warm freezer, defrost issues	Defrost thermostat	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214
Door not sealing, moisture, frost at edges	Door gasket	Refrigerator gasket 241786014

Water filter note (model-relevant)

For Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators like 25351694103, the manual notes the filter status light can turn red after about 400 gallons of water use, and the dispenser can run in bypass mode if the filter is removed and a bypass is installed. Use how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator for step-by-step guidance.

Why it matters

Using the correct, model-matched part helps prevent leaks, poor cooling, dispenser problems, and repeat repairs. It also saves time because the fit, connectors, and mounting points match your refrigerator’s design.

The Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25351694103 is a full-size unit; the exact cabinet dimensions (width, height, depth) are listed in the specifications section of the owner's manual. Use those published specs, then measure your opening and add the required installation clearances.

How to get the right “size” for your space

Use the manual’s specs first, then confirm your real-world fit with a tape measure.

• Measure the opening width at the front and back (walls are often not perfectly square)
• Measure height to the lowest cabinet or soffit (include flooring changes)
• Measure depth from the wall to the front edge of the surrounding cabinets
• Plan for door swing so bins and drawers can open fully
• Leave space for air circulation and the water line (if connected)

What to measure (and what it means)

Published dimensions and “fit dimensions” are different. Here is what we recommend using when planning:

Measurement	What to measure	Why it matters
Width	Cabinet side to side	Determines if the refrigerator slides into the opening
Height	Floor to top of cabinet/hinge area	Prevents interference with cabinets and trim
Depth	Wall to front of doors/handles	Avoids sticking out too far into the walkway

Why depth is the most common surprise

Refrigerator depth can change depending on what you include.

• Cabinet-only depth is smaller than depth to the front of the handles
• Hinges and door curvature can add depth near the top
• Water line and power cord need room behind the unit

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents installation problems, helps doors seal properly, and keeps airflow moving so the refrigerator cools consistently.

To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore 25351694103 side-by-side refrigerator, we shut off power and water, remove the ice container, disconnect the ice maker wiring and mounting screws, then install the new unit and set the wire signal arm to ON (down). Use the owner's manual for model-specific access details.

Before you start

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off the breaker.
• Turn OFF the household water shutoff valve.
• Remove the ice container from the top of the freezer.
• Keep fingers out of the ice chute; surfaces can be sharp.
• Keep a towel handy for minor drips.

Replacement steps (typical for this model style)

1. Remove the ice container to expose the ice maker area.
2. Locate the ice maker wiring harness connector and unplug it with a straight, firm pull on the connector body.
3. Remove the ice maker mounting screws.
4. Lift the ice maker out.
5. Set the replacement ice maker in place, reinstall screws, and reconnect the harness.
6. Turn water back ON, restore power.
7. Lower the wire signal arm to ON (down) to start ice production.

What to expect after installation

Timeline	Normal behavior	What we recommend
First 24 hours	Ice can begin forming within 24 hours after the unit is cooled	Discard the first batch if taste or color is off
First 48 hours	With no usage, the bin can take about 2 days to fill	Leave the arm ON (down)
After water is reconnected	Air in the line can cause a few odd cycles	Run water at the dispenser to purge air

If it still will not make ice

• Confirm the wire signal arm is down (ON).
• Verify the shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
• If water flow is weak, replace the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB.
• If the dispenser has water but the ice maker does not fill, diagnose the refrigerator water valve 242252702.

Why it matters

Correct installation prevents leaks, protects the wiring connection, and ensures the ice maker can cycle and refill properly.

On Kenmore refrigerator model 25351694103, an ER IF message is treated as an ice and freezer airflow problem that can stop ice production and lead to warmer freezer temperatures. Start with basic airflow and frost checks, then use the owner's manual for the model’s control and diagnostic steps.

What to check first (most common fixes)

• Power reset: unplug for 2 minutes, then restore power
• Ice bin: remove it and clear clumped ice (never use sharp tools)
• Frost: look for heavy frost on the rear freezer panel or around the ice chute
• Door seal: confirm the freezer door closes fully and seals all the way around
• Airflow sound: with the door closed, listen for the evaporator fan cycling

Troubleshooting path for ER IF symptoms

Use this quick decision guide to narrow it down:

What you notice	What it points to	What to do next
Little or no airflow in freezer, temps rising	Evaporator fan or airflow blockage	Clear vents; inspect fan area; consider replacing the refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 if damaged
Heavy frost on rear freezer panel	Defrost problem restricting airflow	Defrost the unit; if frost returns quickly, test/replace the refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214
Frost near door edges, paper test fails	Air leak at door	Warm and reshape gasket; replace the refrigerator gasket 241786014 if torn or warped
Ice maker/dispenser jams repeatedly	Ice path restriction	Empty bin, clear chute, confirm door flap closes

Why it matters

Airflow problems force the cooling system to run longer, reduce ice output, and can cause temperature swings that spoil food. Fixing the airflow restriction or failed fan/defrost component restores normal freezer performance.
