KitchenAid KSRA25CNBT00 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

The KitchenAid KSRA25CNBT00 is a full-size side-by-side refrigerator; most models in this class are about 33 inches wide, 65 to 71 inches tall, and 30 to 35 inches deep (depth varies most with handles). For the exact dimensions and capacity for your unit, use the KSRA25CNBT00 owner's manual.

What “big” usually means for this model

When customers ask about size, they typically mean one or more of these measurements:

• Overall width (to confirm it fits between cabinets)
• Overall height (to confirm it clears upper cabinets)
• Overall depth (to confirm door swing and walkway clearance)
• Capacity in cubic feet (to compare storage space)
• Clearances needed for airflow and door opening

Typical size ranges for a side-by-side refrigerator

These are common ranges for KitchenAid side-by-side designs like the KSRA25CNBT00.

Measurement	Typical range	What changes it most
Width	32 to 36 in.	Cabinet class (33-in vs 36-in)
Height	65 to 71 in.	Hinge style, leveling legs
Depth	30 to 35 in.	Handles, door thickness

How to measure your KSRA25CNBT00 accurately

Use a tape measure and record to the nearest 1/8 inch.

• Measure width at the widest point (often the hinge caps or doors)
• Measure height from floor to the top hinge area (include hinge cover)
• Measure depth from the wall to the front of the doors; then measure again to the front of the handles
• Confirm the refrigerator is level; a tilted cabinet can change door alignment and “effective” height

Why it matters

Correct dimensions prevent installation problems like doors hitting walls, poor airflow that can affect cooling performance, and difficulty sliding the refrigerator into place without damaging flooring or cabinets.

If you are planning a move or reinstall, we also recommend reviewing the placement and clearance guidance in the KSRA25CNBT00 owner's manual and ordering any needed replacement parts through the parts list for this model or on Sears PartsDirect.

On your KitchenAid KSRA25CNBT00 side-by-side refrigerator, cooling problems are usually caused by restricted airflow, incorrect temperature control settings, or a failure in the defrost or sealed system. We start by checking vents and controls, then move to fans, coils, and defrost components.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Make sure the Refrigerator and Freezer controls are not set to OFF and are near the factory mid-setting.
• Wait a full 24 hours after changing settings or restarting before judging temperature.
• Check that interior air vents are not blocked by food packages.
• Confirm both doors close and seal fully (no gaps, no heavy frost at the door edge).
• Listen for the evaporator fan in the freezer; it should run when the compressor is running.

For control locations and the correct preset positions, use the KSRA25CNBT00 owner's manual.

Common causes (and what they look like)

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to check next
Freezer cold, fresh food warm	Airflow problem	Blocked vents, stuck diffuser, evaporator fan
Heavy frost on freezer back wall	Defrost system issue	Defrost heater, defrost bi-metal
No ice and no water flow	Water supply issue	House water pressure, inlet valve
Both sections warm, compressor runs a lot	Heat not being removed	Dirty condenser coils, condenser fan
Both sections warm, compressor clicks	Start components or compressor	Run capacitor, compressor

Parts that commonly relate to “not cooling” on this model

If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 (can cause frost buildup that blocks airflow)
• Refrigerator heater WP2323198 (defrost heater for frost/ice issues)
• Refrigerator run capacitor WPW10662129 (can affect compressor starting)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142 (air movement across the evaporator)
• Refrigerator evaporator WP2188823 and compressor W10309994 (sealed system components)

Why it matters

A refrigerator cools by moving heat out of the cabinet. When airflow is blocked, controls are mis-set, or frost builds up on the evaporator, the freezer may still feel “kind of cold” while the refrigerator section warms quickly and food spoils.

When to stop and schedule service

• The compressor is extremely hot to the touch and repeatedly clicks on and off.
• You see oil residue near sealed-system tubing.
• Temperatures stay unsafe after 24 hours with correct settings and clear vents.

On your KitchenAid KSRA25CNBT00 side-by-side refrigerator, Sabbath mode keeps your temperature settings the same while turning off interior and dispenser lights, disabling sounds and alarms, turning off the dispenser display backlight, and disabling the dispenser pads. See the KSRA25CNBT00 owner's manual for the exact steps to enable it.

What changes when Sabbath mode is on

• Temperature set points stay at your current settings.
• Interior lights and dispenser lights stay off.
• Audible tones and alarms are disabled.
• The dispenser display backlight turns off.
• Dispenser pads do not respond.

When to use it (and what to expect)

Sabbath mode is designed for times when you want the refrigerator to run normally for cooling, but you do not want user-interface lighting, sounds, or dispenser operation.

Quick expectations checklist

• Cooling continues normally.
• You will not hear door alarms or other beeps.
• You will not be able to dispense water or ice from the door.

Troubleshooting: “My dispenser stopped working”

If the water and ice dispenser suddenly will not operate, check whether Sabbath mode was turned on accidentally.

Symptom	Common cause	What to do
Dispenser pads do nothing	Sabbath mode enabled	Turn Sabbath mode off using the steps in the manual
No beeps or alarms	Sabbath mode enabled	Restore normal mode, then recheck alarms
Display looks dark	Backlight disabled in Sabbath mode	Exit Sabbath mode to restore backlight

Why it matters

Sabbath mode can look like a dispenser or control problem, but it is often just a setting. Confirming the mode first can save time before you troubleshoot parts like the refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 or the refrigerator filter EDR5RXD1.
