Kenmore 25370813710 top-mount refrigerator Parts

Kenmore model 25370813710 is a top-mount refrigerator, not an upright freezer; its cubic-foot capacity is listed in the product specifications section of the 25370813710 owner's manual. If you are trying to size an upright freezer, the capacity will be different than a top-freezer refrigerator.

How to find the exact cubic feet for model 25370813710

We recommend using the model-specific specs in the manual because capacity can vary by configuration.

• Open the 25370813710 owner's manual
• Look for “Product specifications”, “Capacity”, or “Features at a glance”
• Check for separate listings for refrigerator and freezer compartment volume
• Confirm you are reading the correct model family (the manual covers 253.6081* and 253.7081* series)
• Match the full model number on your serial plate inside the fresh food compartment

Refrigerator vs. upright freezer: quick comparison

Appliance type	Typical capacity range	Best use
Top-mount refrigerator (top freezer)	14 to 22 cu. ft.	Everyday fresh + frozen storage
Upright freezer	14 to 21 cu. ft.	Bulk frozen food storage

Why it matters

Capacity affects fit, energy use, and storage planning. A top-mount refrigerator’s “cubic feet” includes both compartments, while an upright freezer’s rating is all freezer space, so the numbers are not interchangeable.

For the Kenmore 25370813710 top-mount refrigerator, the most common problems are warm temperatures from airflow or defrost issues, frost buildup in the freezer, water leaking from a clogged defrost drain, and ice maker problems. We use the owner's manual to confirm settings and follow the right checks.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Refrigerator not cold enough: dirty condenser, weak condenser fan, evaporator fan not running, or a defrost failure icing up the evaporator.
• Freezer frosting up: failed defrost heater or defrost thermostat, or a door gasket leak.
• Water on the floor or under crisper: defrost drain partially blocked; meltwater overflows into the fresh-food section.
• No ice or slow ice production: ice maker issue, freezer temperature too warm, or water supply problem.
• Door not sealing or sweating: torn or warped door gasket.

Quick checks we recommend first (10 to 20 minutes)

• Set controls to the recommended mid-range settings in the owner's manual.
• Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages (freezer and fresh-food sections).
• Clean condenser coils and confirm the condenser fan runs when the compressor runs.
• Check door seal with a paper-strip test; resistance should feel consistent around the door.
• Listen for the evaporator fan; it should run during cooling (door switch held closed).

Parts that commonly fix these issues (when symptoms match)

Symptom	Common part to inspect	Example part for this model
Frost buildup, warm fridge	Defrost system	Refrigerator defrost heater 242044008 and refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918634
Warm temps, weak airflow	Evaporator fan	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 242219204
Door not sealing	Door gasket	Frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (white) 242193206 or frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (black) 242193212
No ice	Ice maker	Refrigerator ice maker 241798231

Why it matters

Catching airflow, defrost, and gasket problems early prevents heavy frost, temperature swings, and compressor overwork. That protects food quality and helps the refrigerator run efficiently.
