How many cubic feet is my Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
Your Kenmore top-mount refrigerator model 25367189507 has its exact cubic-foot capacity listed on the appliance’s serial/rating plate inside the fresh food compartment. For the most accurate number, match the model number and read the capacity/specs section in the 25367189507 owner's manual.
Fast ways to find the cubic feet (capacity)
Use these methods in this order for the quickest, most reliable result:
- Check the serial/rating plate inside the refrigerator compartment (it’s the best source for exact specs).
- Look in the specifications section of the 25367189507 owner's manual.
- Measure interior space only if the label is missing (see the quick estimate below).
- Do not rely on “model number math.” Some Kenmore model numbers resemble capacity patterns, but many do not.
Quick estimate method (when the label is unreadable)
If you need a working estimate, you can calculate cubic feet from interior measurements.
- Measure usable interior width, depth, and height (in inches) of the refrigerator compartment.
- Multiply:
width × depth × heightto get cubic inches. - Convert to cubic feet: divide by 1,728.
Example conversion table
| What you have | What it means | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| Interior measurements (inches) | Gives cubic inches | W × D × H |
| Cubic inches | Convert to cubic feet | (W × D × H) ÷ 1,728 |
Why it matters
Capacity affects how you load food for proper airflow, how quickly temperatures recover after door openings, and which accessories fit. The manual also reminds you that blocking cold air vents can reduce circulation and cooling performance.

How do I tell what model Kenmore fridge I have?
Your Kenmore refrigerator model number is printed on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. For model 25367189507, the owner's manual also notes the model and serial information is found on that serial plate.
Where to look on a Kenmore top-mount refrigerator
Check these common serial plate locations (start with the first):
- Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (most common)
- Inside the refrigerator compartment near the top, behind shelves
- On the inside wall behind the lower crisper drawer area
- On the cabinet frame just inside the door opening
- Behind the toe grille or kick plate area (lower front)
What to write down (and why)
Record both the model number and serial number exactly as shown. This helps us match the correct parts list, diagrams, and repair instructions.
- Model number: identifies the exact design and parts used
- Serial number: helps narrow production changes within the same model
- Brand: Kenmore (useful when searching parts by category)
Quick check: model number vs. part number
Use this as a simple reference so you do not mix up numbers when ordering parts.
| Item you see on the label or part | What it’s used for | Example from this refrigerator page |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the refrigerator | 25367189507 |
| Part ID | Identifies a specific replacement part listing | 316538904 |
| Part number | Manufacturer’s part number for that part | 241555401 |
Why it matters
Kenmore model numbers can look similar, but small differences can change which door gasket, shelf, or electrical part fits. Using the exact model number helps ensure you get the right replacement the first time.

What are the most common problems with Kenmore refrigerators?
The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25367189507 are cooling problems, water leaks, ice buildup from defrost trouble, unusual noises, and door sealing issues. Many of these are caused by restricted airflow, dirty condenser coils, or worn door gaskets; our 25367189507 owner's manual covers key care and “before you call” checks.
Most common symptoms and what they usually mean
- Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan issue, or defrost system problem
- Frost or ice buildup (freezer or back wall): defrost thermostat/heater issue or door not sealing
- Water leaking or puddles: clogged defrost drain, door left ajar, or excess humidity
- Loud humming, rattling, or clicking: normal operating sounds, fan blade interference, or start device trouble
- Doors not closing tightly: unit not level, hinge wear, or gasket not sealing
Quick checks we recommend first (safe, no parts required)
- Confirm power and settings: make sure the plug is fully seated and temperature controls are set correctly (the manual notes the unit may pause during a defrost cycle).
- Clean the condenser: periodic condenser cleaning helps efficiency and cooling performance.
- Check airflow: do not overcrowd shelves or block cold air vents.
- Level the refrigerator: leveling helps the doors close tightly.
- Reduce moisture load: cover foods and wipe containers dry to limit interior moisture buildup.
Parts that commonly solve these problems (when a repair is needed)
If your symptoms point to a specific failure, these model-matched parts are common fixes:
| Symptom | Common suspect | Example part for 25367189507 |
|---|---|---|
| Warm fridge/freezer, noisy airflow | Fan blade damaged or rubbing ice | Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 |
| Frost buildup, warm temps after a few days | Defrost control issue (often thermostat) | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202 |
| Door sweating, frost near door, poor cooling | Door gasket not sealing | Refrigerator gasket 241872512 |
| Clicking, won’t start, intermittent cooling | Start device problem | Refrigerator start relay kit 5304491941 |
Why it matters
Cooling and leak complaints usually trace back to airflow and sealing. When coils are dirty, vents are blocked, or a gasket leaks, the compressor runs longer, temperatures drift, and moisture turns into frost or puddles.

What's the average lifespan of a Kenmore refrigerator?
Most Kenmore refrigerators last 10 to 15 years on average. For a Kenmore top-mount refrigerator like model 25367189507, regular care (especially keeping airflow and seals in good shape) is what most often determines whether it reaches the high end of that range.
What affects refrigerator lifespan the most
- Condenser coil cleanliness (dust buildup makes the compressor work harder)
- Door gasket condition (air leaks cause longer run times and frost issues)
- Stable temperatures (about 37°F in the fresh food section and 0°F in the freezer)
- Fan and defrost performance (poor airflow or heavy frost strains the system)
- Prompt repair of small issues (noise, warm temps, water leaks)
Maintenance checklist to help yours reach 15 years
We recommend these routine steps for a top-mount refrigerator:
- Vacuum and brush dust from the condenser area every 6 to 12 months
- Keep door gaskets clean and check for gaps with the paper test
- Avoid overpacking; leave space for air circulation
- Keep the unit level so doors close fully
- Confirm the refrigerator is on a dedicated 115V outlet as described in the owner's manual
Common wear items and what they impact
| Symptom you notice | Often related system | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Warm refrigerator, freezer OK | Airflow from freezer to fridge | Evaporator fan components (blade) |
| Frost buildup, warming | Defrost system | Defrost thermostat |
| Door won’t seal, sweating | Door seal | Door gasket |
If you are chasing airflow or temperature problems, the refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202 and refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 are examples of model-matched parts that can be involved in common cooling complaints.
Why it matters
A refrigerator that runs longer and hotter than it should (from dirty coils, weak airflow, or leaky gaskets) puts extra load on the sealed system and compressor. Keeping those basics in check is the most reliable way to extend service life.
