Kenmore 25360604412 refrigerator Parts

Kenmore model 25360604412 is a top-mount refrigerator, not a chest freezer. For this model, the exact exterior dimensions are listed in the product specifications section of the 25360604412 owner's manual; use that spec to confirm fit in your kitchen opening and for delivery clearance.

Quick way to confirm the size (and avoid measuring mistakes)

We recommend verifying dimensions two ways: the manual specs first, then a tape-measure check at home.

• Check the width, height, and depth in the 25360604412 owner's manual
• Measure the cabinet without doors/handles only if you are planning door removal
• Measure with doors closed for true installed depth
• Add clearance for door swing and airflow (do not block the toe grille)
• If moving through a doorway, plan for tilting and turning space

Installation clearances that affect real-world space

Your refrigerator needs room to breathe and to seal correctly. The installation guidance for this model calls out leveling and door sealing as critical.

What you are checking	What to look for	Why it matters
Front-to-back tilt	About 1/4 to 1/2 inch higher in front	Helps doors close and seal properly
Toe grille	Not blocked	Maintains airflow for proper operation
Door alignment	Doors level and aligned	Prevents warm air leaks and frost

Why it matters

If the refrigerator is squeezed into a tight opening or not leveled correctly, doors can leak air, temperatures can drift, and you can see moisture, frost, or longer run times.

Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on a rating label inside the fresh food section or freezer, most often on an interior side wall, on the wall behind the lower crisper drawers, or near the bottom front behind the toe grille. Confirm it against the 25360604412 owner's manual.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (eye level)
• Inside the freezer on a side wall or back wall
• Behind or just above the lower crisper drawers (on the back wall)
• Behind the toe grille or kickplate at the bottom front
• On the hinge side of the door frame (less common)

What the label looks like and what to copy

The rating label usually includes several identifiers. We recommend copying these exactly:

• Model number (example for this page: 25360604412)
• Serial number (helps match production run and revisions)
• Electrical ratings (volts/amps) and sometimes refrigerant type

Quick ID checklist

Item on label	Why it matters	Example format
Model number	Ensures correct parts fit	25360604412
Serial number	Helps confirm exact version	Letters and numbers
Product type	Confirms you are in the right parts category	Top-mount refrigerator

Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting

Kenmore model numbers can look similar across different refrigerator styles. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong door gasket, shelf, or ice maker, and it also helps when following installation and leveling steps in the guide.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25360604412 are poor cooling (airflow or defrost issues), water leaks (often a drain or door-seal problem), ice maker trouble, and unusual noises from fans or the compressor area. Use the installation guide to confirm airflow, leveling, and door sealing basics first.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or warm fridge/freezer: blocked airflow, dirty condenser area, evaporator fan not running, or frost buildup from a defrost problem.
• Water puddles inside or on the floor: clogged defrost drain, loose water line connection, or door not sealing.
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, ice maker switched off, or restricted water flow.
• Noises (buzzing, rattling, clicking, whirring): evaporator fan blade hitting ice, condenser fan noise, or normal compressor start/stop sounds.
• Doors not closing or sealing: cabinet not leveled correctly, door alignment off, or worn gasket.

Quick checks that solve a lot of calls

Start with these simple, high-impact checks:

• Make sure the toe grille is not blocked; the install instructions note that sufficient air circulation is essential.
• Confirm the refrigerator is level side-to-side and tilted about 1/4 inch front-to-back so doors close and seal properly.
• Verify door seals completely on all sides (the installation checklist calls this out).
• If you are not connecting water, keep the ice maker power switch Off.
• If you are connecting water, use copper tubing and confirm 30 to 100 psi water pressure.

Common fixes and related parts (when symptoms match)

If troubleshooting points to a specific failure, these model-compatible parts are commonly involved:

Symptom	Common area to inspect	Example part for this model
Frost buildup, warm temps	Defrost system	Refrigerator defrost heater 242044008
Warm fridge, fan noise	Evaporator fan area	Refrigerator motor 242077705 or refrigerator evaporator fan blade 242219302
Door not sealing, moisture	Door seal	Frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (white) 242193206 or frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (black) 242193212

Why it matters

Cooling, leaks, and ice maker issues often trace back to airflow and sealing. When the cabinet is not leveled correctly or the toe grille is blocked, temperatures swing, frost builds up faster, and the compressor and fans run longer than they should.

For model-specific setup details (leveling, door alignment, water hookup), follow the installation guide. For parts and diagrams for model 25360604412, shop the parts list on this page or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

A Kenmore refrigerator typically lasts 12 to 15 years. To help your Kenmore model 25360604412 reach that range (or longer), we recommend keeping airflow clear around the cabinet, maintaining good door sealing, and following the setup and care steps in the owner's manual and installation guide.

What affects refrigerator lifespan most

• Ventilation and clearances: restricted airflow makes the compressor work harder
• Room temperature: extreme heat or cold reduces cooling performance
• Door seal condition: warm air leaks cause longer run times and frost issues
• Condenser cleanliness: dust buildup raises operating temperatures
• Usage habits: frequent door openings and overpacking reduce efficiency

Model-specific setup tips that protect longevity

Your installation instructions for this top-mount refrigerator call out key conditions that directly impact long-term reliability:

• Keep minimum clearances: 3/8 inch at sides and top, 1 inch at rear
• Avoid placing the refrigerator in direct sunlight or near heat sources
• Use a grounded outlet; do not use an extension cord or adapter plug
• Keep the toe grille unblocked for proper air circulation

Quick checklist: “healthy” fridge vs “wearing out” fridge

What you notice	What it usually means	What to do first
Runs almost constantly	Poor airflow, dirty condenser, warm room, door leak	Verify clearances, clean condenser, check gasket seal
Frost buildup in freezer	Door leak or defrost issue	Inspect door seal; watch for recurring frost
Warm fridge section but freezer OK	Airflow problem (fan/vents)	Check for blocked vents; listen for fan noise
Water leaks/puddles	Drain or ice maker/water line issue	Check drain area; inspect water line connections

Why it matters

Most major refrigerator wear happens when the sealed system and compressor run hotter and longer than designed. Good airflow (clearances and an unblocked toe grille) and a tight door seal reduce run time, which helps the compressor, evaporator, and defrost system last longer.

Parts that commonly support long service life

If you are addressing cooling performance or air leaks on model 25360604412, these parts are commonly involved:

• Frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (white) 242193206 (door seal and efficiency)
• Refrigerator defrost heater 242044008 (defrost performance)
• Refrigerator motor 242077705 (evaporator fan airflow)
