KitchenAid KSRX25FSST01 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

The KitchenAid KSRX25FSST01 side-by-side refrigerator is about 25.3 cubic feet total capacity. For the exact capacity breakdown (fresh food vs. freezer) and feature details for your specific unit, check the KSRX25FSST01 owner's manual.

Quick capacity details

Capacity is the total usable interior space across both compartments. For a side-by-side like the KSRX25FSST01, that total is typically split between the refrigerator and freezer sections.

• Total capacity: 25.3 cu. ft.
• Includes both compartments (refrigerator + freezer)
• Actual usable space varies with shelves, bins, and ice maker setup
• Keeping the air vents clear helps you use the space efficiently

Why cubic feet matters

Knowing the cubic feet helps when you are:

• Comparing replacement refrigerators
• Planning kitchen fit and food storage needs
• Choosing organization accessories (bins, drawers)
• Estimating how quickly the unit recovers temperature after loading groceries

What can change the “usable” space

Even with the same rated capacity, these items can reduce day-to-day storage room:

Item	How it affects space	Common symptom
Ice maker assembly	Takes room in the freezer	Less space for bulky items
Water filter housing	Uses a small amount of fridge space	Tight fit for tall containers
Door bins and shelves	Changes layout flexibility	Hard-to-fit gallon jugs

If you are troubleshooting ice production or want to confirm the installed ice maker style, the refrigerator ice maker 2198597 is a common replacement part for this model.

A side-by-side refrigerator (like the KitchenAid KSRX25FSST01) has two full-height vertical compartments: the fresh-food section on one side and the freezer on the other. This layout keeps frequently used items at mid-level and often supports in-door ice and water dispensing.

How the layout works

In a side-by-side design, both compartments run from top to bottom, so you get:

• Narrower shelves than many French door models, which can make wide platters harder to store
• Easier access to frozen foods without bending as much (more items at eye level)
• More door storage on both sides (bins, can racks, dairy compartment)
• Common dispenser features (water, cubed ice, crushed ice) depending on configuration

Common features you may see on KSRX25FSST01

Your model’s use and care information covers typical side-by-side features such as dispenser operation and storage controls. For example, many units include adjustable humidity crispers and chilled door bin airflow controls. See the KSRX25FSST01 owner's manual for the exact control locations and operating details.

Feature	What it does	Why you would use it
Humidity-controlled crisper	Adjusts moisture level in the drawer	Helps produce stay fresh longer
Chilled door bin control	Adjusts cold air flow to a door bin	Keeps select items colder in the door
In-door dispenser (if equipped)	Dispenses water and ice	Convenience without opening doors

Why it matters

The side-by-side format affects everyday use: it changes how you organize groceries, how cold air circulates between compartments, and how you plan clearance for door swing. For installation planning, most refrigerators need ventilation space at the sides and top, plus extra room behind if a water line is connected.

Yes. KitchenAid makes 33-inch-wide refrigerators in several styles (including bottom-mount models). Your KitchenAid KSRX25FSST01 is a side-by-side model; for exact cabinet width and clearance needs, use the dimensions and installation notes in the KSRX25FSST01 owner's manual.

What “33-inch wide” means (so you buy the right fit)

A “33-inch” refrigerator is typically the cabinet width class; the actual measured width can vary slightly, and you also need clearance for doors, handles, and airflow.

• Measure the opening width at the front and back (walls are often not perfectly square)
• Plan for door swing clearance (especially next to a wall or island)
• Leave ventilation space as recommended in the KSRX25FSST01 owner's manual
• Confirm water line routing if you have an ice maker or dispenser
• Check height and depth too; width alone does not guarantee fit

Quick sizing checklist

Use this checklist before choosing any 33-inch KitchenAid refrigerator.

What to measure	What to include	Why it matters
Opening width	Trim, baseboards, uneven walls	Prevents binding and rubbing
Door swing	Wall clearance, adjacent cabinets	Ensures doors open fully
Depth	Handles, door thickness	Avoids sticking out too far
Height	Hinges, leveling legs	Prevents top interference

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is “33-inch wide” can still be a poor fit if the doors cannot open fully or if airflow clearance is tight; that can lead to warm temperatures, noisy operation, or ice maker and water dispenser issues.

Related parts for water and ice (common on 33-inch models)

If you are comparing models with dispensers, these are common maintenance items for KSRX25FSST01-STYLE setups:

• Refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 (routine replacement)
• Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 (water supply to ice maker and dispenser)
• Refrigerator ice maker 2198597 (ice production)

The most common KitchenAid refrigerator complaints are ice maker and water dispensing issues, followed closely by cooling and temperature swings. On your KitchenAid KSRX25FSST01 side-by-side refrigerator, these problems usually trace back to water supply parts, airflow (evaporator fan), or defrost-related frost buildup; our owner's manual helps you pinpoint the right checks.

Most common issues we see (and what they look like)

• Ice maker not making ice, slow ice production, or hollow cubes
• Water dispenser flow is weak, sputters, or stops
• Fresh food section warm but freezer still cold (airflow problem)
• Frost buildup on the freezer back wall (defrost problem)
• Unusual fan noise, clicking, or intermittent cooling

Quick checks before replacing parts

1. Confirm temperatures: freezer near 0°F, refrigerator near 37°F.
2. Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. If water or ice is affected, verify the household shutoff valve is fully open.
4. Replace the water filter if it is overdue; a restricted filter can reduce dispenser flow and ice production.
5. If you see frost on the freezer back panel, suspect a defrost system issue.

Parts that commonly solve these symptoms on KSRX25FSST01

Symptom	Most likely system	Common part to check on this model
No ice or slow ice	Ice maker or water supply	Refrigerator ice maker 2198597
No water at dispenser	Water supply control	Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179
Weak water flow	Filtration restriction	Refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1
Frost buildup, warm fridge	Defrost system	Refrigerator heater WP2323198 and refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581

Why it matters

Ice, water, and cooling problems often share the same root causes: restricted water flow, poor airflow across the evaporator, or frost buildup that blocks circulation. Catching the pattern early helps you avoid food spoilage and prevents the compressor from running excessively.

The KitchenAid KSRX25FSST01 is a full-size side-by-side refrigerator; for planning delivery, cabinetry, and door swing, use the model’s published width, height, depth, and capacity from the KSRX25FSST01 owner's manual. This ensures you size to the exact configuration of your unit.

What to measure (and why)

Use a tape measure to confirm your opening and compare it to the spec sheet in the manual.

• Width: cabinet width at the widest point (not trim)
• Height: floor to top hinge cover area (include leveling legs)
• Depth: to door face and to handle front
• Door swing: clearance so doors open fully and bins slide out
• Ventilation: space behind and above for airflow

Typical size range for this model class

Most KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerators like KSRX25FSST01 fit these common ranges; match your final plan to the exact numbers listed in the manual.

Spec you need	Typical range for side-by-side units	Where it’s used
Width	33 to 36 in.	Cabinet opening and delivery path
Height	65 to 71 in.	Overhead cabinets and leveling
Depth	30 to 35 in.	Counter projection and walkway
Capacity	22 to 26 cu. ft.	Storage planning

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents installation problems, protects cooling performance by maintaining airflow, and avoids kinks in the water line that feeds the dispenser and ice maker.

Parts that can affect real-world fit

If space is tight, these items can change how far the refrigerator projects or how components sit in the cabinet.

• Refrigerator water filter cap (black) WP2260518B (filter cover area)
• Refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 (internal filter fit)
• Refrigerator ice maker 2198597 (freezer-side space and bin clearance)
