Kenmore 25360721000 refrigerator Parts

Yes. We still carry replacement parts for Kenmore refrigerators, including model 25360721000. The key is matching parts to your exact model number so the fit, wiring, and temperature-control functions are correct for your refrigerator.

How to find the right part for your Kenmore model

Use your full model number (from the rating label inside the fresh food section or on the cabinet wall) and then match the part by name and ID.

• Confirm the model number is 25360721000 (all digits matter)
• Identify the symptom (warm fridge, frost buildup, leaking water, door not sealing)
• Match the part type to the symptom (defrost, airflow, door seal, drainage)
• Compare the part ID and description before ordering
• Replace only one suspected failure at a time when troubleshooting

Common Kenmore 25360721000 parts customers replace

These are examples of parts available for this model that often solve everyday cooling and frost issues:

Problem you see	Part that often relates	Example part for this model
Frost buildup, warm temps	Defrost system	Thermostat 297216600 or refrigeration appliance defrost heater 216608500
Warm freezer, weak airflow	Evaporator fan	Evaporator fan motor 5304442620 or blade 5308000010

For your Kenmore refrigerator model 25360721000, we find the correct part number by matching the model tag information first, then confirming the part on the diagram or the old part label. The model tag is usually inside the fresh food section or along the door frame.

Where to look for the model tag (fastest way)

Check these common locations on Kenmore refrigerators:

• Along the door frame where the door meets the cabinet
• Inside the fresh food compartment on the left or right wall
• Near the top interior wall of the fresh food compartment
• On the side wall behind crisper drawers (you may need to slide drawers out)

How we match the right part number

Once you have the model number (25360721000), use this process to avoid ordering the wrong part:

• Identify the system: cooling, defrost, door, lighting, or drainage
• Compare the part name and shape to what is installed
• Check for a sticker or stamping on the old part (often shows a manufacturer number)
• Confirm mounting points, wire connectors, and dimensions before ordering
• If multiple versions exist, match by location and function (for example, defrost vs. evaporator fan)

Examples of part numbers you might be looking for

These are common “search targets” customers need when troubleshooting this model:

What you are fixing	Part type to look up	Example part for this model
Frost buildup, warm temps	Defrost control component	Upright freezer defrost timer 5304518034
Noisy or weak airflow	Evaporator fan component	Evaporator fan motor 5304442620
Door not sealing, frost at edges	Door seal	Freezer door gasket 5304507200
Water pooling inside	Drain component	Hose 5304512272

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers can share similar-looking parts across different series. Using the exact model number 25360721000 and matching the part’s function (defrost heater, thermostat, compressor start relay, door gasket) prevents fit issues and repeat repairs.

Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on the appliance ID label; once you find it, match it exactly (letters and numbers) to look up parts and diagrams for your unit, such as Kenmore model 25360721000.

Where to look for the model number label

We most often see the model and serial number label in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall (often right wall)
• Inside the fresh food compartment near the ceiling or control housing
• On the door frame when you open the refrigerator door
• Behind the toe grille or kick plate at the bottom front
• On the back exterior panel (less common, but possible)

What the label looks like and what to copy

The label usually includes both a model number and a serial number. For parts lookup, the model number is the key.

• Copy the model number exactly as shown (no extra spaces)
• Use all digits and any letters (for example, 25360721000)
• Keep the serial number too; it helps when comparing production variations

Quick check: model number vs. serial number

Item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Finding correct parts, diagrams, and fit	25360721000
Serial number	Identifying production run and date codes	Mix of letters and numbers

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators can look similar across multiple model families, but parts like a door gasket, defrost timer, or evaporator fan motor can vary by model. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong replacement.

Most Kenmore refrigerators, including model 25360721000, last 10 to 15 years with normal household use. Regular maintenance (especially keeping airflow clear and seals tight) is what most often determines whether you land closer to 10 years or push past 15.

What affects lifespan the most

• Condenser cleanliness and airflow: Dust buildup and blocked vents make the compressor work harder.
• Door seal condition: Warm air leaks force longer run times and can lead to frost and temperature swings.
• Defrost system health: A weak heater, thermostat, or timer can cause heavy frost and poor cooling.
• Room conditions: Hot garages, tight built-ins, and poor ventilation shorten life.
• Usage habits: Frequent door openings and overpacking reduce cooling efficiency.

Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)

• Vacuum coils and the rear/bottom area every 6 to 12 months.
• Keep food from blocking interior air vents.
• Confirm doors close fully and stay aligned.
• Clean and dry spills promptly to prevent odors and corrosion.
• If you see water under the unit, inspect the drain path and pan.

Common “end-of-life” symptoms vs. fixable issues

Symptom	Often fixable?	Common area to check
Warm fridge/freezer but lights work	Yes	Airflow, evaporator fan, frost buildup
Heavy frost on back wall	Yes	Defrost system components
Clicking, then no cooling	Sometimes	Start components, compressor
Water puddles under unit	Yes	Drain tube, drain pan

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is running longer than normal can drive up energy use and accelerate wear on major components like the compressor. Catching airflow, seal, and defrost problems early is the simplest way to extend service life.
