Kenmore 25354669400 refrigerator Parts

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25354669400, the model number is printed on the serial plate (rating label) located inside the refrigerator compartment. Open the fresh food door and look along the interior walls for the label that lists both the model and serial numbers.

How to find the label quickly

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door
• Look for a paper or metallic label inside the compartment
• Check the side walls near the front edge first
• Also check near the top interior area if you do not see it right away
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown

What you should see on the serial plate

The serial plate typically includes both identifiers, plus other details used for parts matching.

Label item	What it’s used for
Model number (example: 25354669400)	Ensures we match the correct Kenmore parts diagram and replacement parts
Serial number	Helps identify production details when troubleshooting or ordering certain parts
Electrical ratings	Confirms power requirements and service specs

Why it matters

Using the exact model number is the fastest way to get the right refrigerator water filter, door gasket, light bulb, or dispenser parts the first time. For model 25354669400, the manual also points to the serial plate location inside the refrigerator compartment.

Helpful next step

If you’re already inside the fresh food compartment, the manual section on features and identification is a good reference for where labels and components are located: 25354669400 owner’s manual.

On Kenmore refrigerator model 25354669400, the water filter is located inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, in the upper right front corner. This filter supplies water to both the ice maker and the water dispenser; you can access it from the front of the housing.

How to find it quickly

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door, not the freezer door.
• Look at the top-right area near the front ceiling of the compartment.
• Find the filter housing and the release button next to the cartridge.
• If you see a filter status light nearby, you are in the right area.
• Use the location diagram in the 25354669400 owner's manual if your shelves or bins block your view.

What you will see and how it works

The 25354669400 uses a front-access ice and water filter system. The cartridge sits in a fixed housing; you release it using the filter release button and slide the cartridge out.

Item	What it means for you
Location	Upper right front corner of fresh food compartment
What it filters	Water to the ice maker and water dispenser
Typical change interval	Every 6 to 9 months (normal use)
Capacity indicator	Filter status light turns red after about 400 gallons

When to replace the filter

We recommend replacing the filter when any of these happen:

• Water tastes or smells off
• Ice cubes look cloudy or are smaller than normal
• Water flow at the dispenser slows down
• The filter status light turns red
• The refrigerator sat unused for a while (for example, after moving)

For the correct replacement cartridge used with this model, match to the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB.

Why it matters

A correctly installed, on-time water filter helps protect water taste and flow, reduces sediment that can restrict the dispenser, and supports consistent ice production.

If your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25354669400 isn’t freezing, the most common causes are restricted airflow (overloading or blocked vents), warm air leaking in through a door seal, or a cooling/defrost problem that keeps the freezer from getting cold enough. Use the checks below and confirm control settings in the 25354669400 owner’s manual.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Make sure the freezer door closes fully and isn’t being held open by packages.
• Avoid loading too much warm food at once; it overloads the freezer and slows freezing.
• Leave space between packages so cold air can circulate freely.
• Don’t store hard-to-freeze items (like ice cream) on the freezer door; store them in the interior.
• Verify the freezer temperature setting is cold enough (adjust colder and allow 24 hours to stabilize).

Common causes and what to do

What you notice	Likely cause	What we do next
Freezer is “cool” but not freezing	Airflow blocked or overloaded	Repack for airflow; keep vents clear; wait 24 hours
Frost buildup, weak airflow	Defrost system issue	Check for heavy frost on the rear panel; inspect defrost components
Frost or moisture between doors	Door slightly open or gasket not sealing	Inspect/clean gasket; warm and reshape; level unit
Ice maker also struggles	Freezer not cold enough	Fix freezing issue first; ice maker depends on freezer temp

Parts that often relate to “not freezing” symptoms

If airflow and door sealing look good, a cooling/defrost component is often next.

• Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214 (helps control defrost heating)
• Refrigerator sensor 240597220 (temperature feedback to controls)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 (moves cold air through the freezer)

Why it matters

A freezer that can’t freeze usually comes down to heat getting in (door seal or frequent opening) or cold air not moving (blocked vents, overload, or a fan/defrost issue). Fixing airflow and sealing first prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps the refrigerator recover faster.

Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are typically 32 to 36 inches wide, and Kenmore model 25354669400 falls in that standard full-size range. For an exact fit (especially with doors and handles), confirm the published overall width and required clearances in the 25354669400 owner's manual.

What “width” can mean (and which one you need)

Refrigerator width is listed a few different ways; use the one that matches your situation:

• Cabinet width: the box only, without doors/handles
• Overall width: doors installed (often the spec most people need)
• Width with handles: can add noticeable space
• Required opening width: cabinet cutout plus side clearances

Measurement	Used for	Why it matters
Cabinet width	Tight cabinet openings	Prevents rubbing on side panels
Overall width	Most installs	Confirms the unit will slide in
Width with handles	Door handle clearance	Avoids handle-to-wall interference
Required opening width	New installs and remodels	Ensures airflow and door swing

How we recommend measuring your space

Measure the opening and the delivery path before you commit to delivery or replacement.

• Measure the opening width at the top, middle, and bottom
• Check doorway widths and any tight turns (hallways, stairs)
• Plan for door swing clearance so bins and shelves can pull out
• Leave space for airflow behind and above the refrigerator
• Compare your measurements to the specs and clearances in the 25354669400 owner's manual

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is even slightly too wide can prevent proper door opening and restrict ventilation. Correct clearance helps the sealed system cool efficiently and makes routine tasks like cleaning and filter changes easier.
