Kenmore 25328722803 freezer Parts

On the Kenmore upright freezer model 25328722803, the model and serial number label is typically on the upper left wall inside the freezer compartment. This is the fastest place to check before ordering parts or looking up troubleshooting steps in the 25328722803 owner's manual.

Common places to check on an upright freezer

Look for a paper or metal rating label in these spots:

• Upper left interior wall (most common for upright models)
• Side wall inside the cabinet (near the front opening)
• Ceiling area inside the freezer (on some upright designs)
• Behind the lower kick plate or base panel (if your model has one)
• Back exterior panel (less common, but possible)

What the label usually includes

The rating label normally lists both numbers you need:

• Model number (for this unit, it starts with 253.)
• Serial number
• Sometimes the purchase date field (blank until you fill it in)

What you need	Why it matters	Example format
Model number	Ensures parts fit your exact freezer	253.XXXXXXX
Serial number	Helps match production run details	Letters and numbers

Why it matters

We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore parts diagrams and compatible parts (like a door gasket, temperature control knob, or door bin). Using only the freezer size or a partial number often leads to the wrong part.

To estimate the cubic-foot capacity of your Kenmore 25328722803 upright freezer, measure the usable interior width, depth, and height (in inches), multiply them together, then divide by 1,728. This converts cubic inches to cubic feet.

How to measure it accurately

• Unplug the freezer if you need to remove shelves or bins for access.
• Measure the interior cabinet space, not the outside dimensions.
• Measure in inches: width (W) x depth (D) x height (H).
• Subtract space taken up by thick interior panels, the evaporator cover, or a hump if present.
• Use the largest “box-like” space you can measure; shelves and door bins do not change the cabinet volume.

Quick formula and example

Formula:

• Cubic feet = (W x D x H) ÷ 1,728

What you measure	Example value	Multiply result
Width (in.)	24
Depth (in.)	20
Height (in.)	60	28,800 cu in
Convert to cu ft	28,800 ÷ 1,728	16.7 cu ft

Why it matters

Knowing cubic feet helps you plan food storage and freezing loads. For example, the manual guidance for many upright freezers is to freeze only about 3 pounds of fresh food per cubic foot at one time, so capacity directly affects how much you should load during a big freeze-in.

Where to confirm capacity for this model

If you want the manufacturer-stated capacity (rather than a measured estimate), check the specifications section in the 25328722803 owner's manual.

Most upright freezers last 10 to 20 years; for a Kenmore upright freezer like model 25328722803, 12 to 15 years is a typical real-world lifespan when the door seals well, airflow is good, and the unit is kept clean and level (see the 25328722803 owner's manual).

What affects lifespan the most

• Heat and ventilation: In hot areas, the cabinet can run much warmer than room temperature, so clearance for airflow matters.
• Door sealing and alignment: If the freezer is not level, the door can misalign and not seal, which drives frost and longer run times.
• Frost management and cleaning: Heavy frost buildup and dirty surfaces reduce efficiency and add wear.
• How often the door is opened: Frequent openings add warm, moist air and increase compressor run time.
• Food loading habits: Overloading and putting in hot food forces longer run cycles.

Maintenance that helps you reach the high end of the range

Use these habits to push lifespan closer to 15 to 20 years:

• Keep the freezer level so the door closes easily and seals consistently.
• Allow space for air circulation around the cabinet, especially in warmer climates.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before loading.
• Wrap foods well and wipe containers dry to reduce internal frost.
• Do not line shelves with foil or paper; it blocks cold air circulation.
• Defrost and clean when frost reaches about 1/4 to 1/2 inch; unplug the unit before defrosting.

Quick expectations by age

Freezer age	What’s typical	What to watch
0 to 5 years	Stable temps, normal cycling	Door left ajar, blocked airflow
6 to 12 years	May need minor parts and deeper cleaning	Increasing frost, longer run times
13 to 20 years	Still possible with good care	Warm temps, frequent alarms, hard starting

Why it matters

A freezer that runs longer because of poor airflow, heavy frost, or a weak door seal puts extra stress on the sealed system and electrical components. Keeping the unit level and reducing frost buildup helps it cool efficiently and last longer.
