Kenmore 25360752407 refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore refrigerator model 25360752407, the model number is printed on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. Open the refrigerator door and look along the inside walls for a label that lists the model and serial numbers; our owner's manual also points to this location.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on an interior side wall
• On the ceiling area inside the fresh food section (near the light)
• On the side wall near the crisper drawers
• On the frame just behind the refrigerator door gasket
• If the label is hard to see, use a flashlight and wipe dust or condensation off the plate

If you still cannot find the label

Sometimes shelves, drawers, or stored items block the serial plate. Try these steps:

• Remove the lower crisper drawers and look at the back wall and side walls
• Check both left and right interior walls of the refrigerator compartment
• Look for a white or silver sticker that includes “Model” and “Serial”
• Write the full model number exactly as shown (numbers only for this Kenmore 253 series)

What the model/serial plate typically includes

Item on the label	What it’s used for
Model number	Matching parts and diagrams to your exact refrigerator
Serial number	Identifying production details for service and records
Purchase date (your note)	Warranty and maintenance tracking

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators can look similar across multiple series, but parts like a defrost timer, door gasket, or light bulb can vary by model. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct replacement parts and installation details the first time.

Kenmore is a brand name, not a single manufacturer; Kenmore refrigerators (including model 25360752407) have been produced by different manufacturers over the years, and LG is one of the companies that has made some Kenmore models. The most reliable way to identify the maker for your exact unit is to check the model and serial information referenced in the owner's manual.

How to tell who made your Kenmore 25360752407

Use these quick checks to narrow it down:

• Look for the full model number on the rating plate and match it to your paperwork.
• Check the first three digits of the model number; they often indicate the original manufacturer.
• Compare the style of common service parts (light bulb, defrost timer, door gasket) to what your refrigerator uses.
• Use the parts list for model 25360752407 to confirm compatible replacement parts.
• If you are troubleshooting, follow the operating and safety guidance in the manual before testing components.

Common manufacturer patterns (what the model prefix usually means)

For Kenmore refrigerators, the model prefix is a strong clue.

Kenmore model prefix	Common manufacturer association	What it means for you
253.xxx	Frigidaire/Electrolux-built designs are common	Parts and layouts often match Frigidaire-style components
795.xxx	LG-built designs are common	Parts and diagnostics often match LG-style components
106.xxx	Whirlpool-built designs are common	Parts and layouts often match Whirlpool-style components

Why it matters

Knowing the original manufacturer helps you troubleshoot faster (defrost system, evaporator fan, controls) and order the right parts the first time. For example, cooling and frost issues on top-mount units often involve the defrost timer or defrost thermostat, and the correct match depends on the design family.

Parts that commonly come up in cooling and defrost troubleshooting

If you are diagnosing a warm fridge or frost buildup, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator defrost timer 215846602
• Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010

Kenmore refrigerators typically last 12 to 15 years. With steady upkeep (good airflow, clean condenser area, tight door seals, correct temperatures), many units reach the upper end of that range. For model 25360752407, follow the care and operating guidance in the owner's manual.

Typical lifespan and what changes it

Most refrigerator life comes down to heat management and how hard the sealed system has to work.

• 12 to 15 years is the normal average for a household refrigerator
• 15+ years is common when coils and airflow stay clean and doors seal tightly
• Heavy use, hot garages, and poor airflow behind the cabinet shorten life
• Frequent door openings and overpacking can raise run time and wear
• Power issues and repeated warm-ups (food left open, outages) add stress

Maintenance that extends life (high impact)

These are the habits that most directly protect the compressor, fans, and defrost system.

• Keep the condenser area (rear or bottom) free of dust and pet hair
• Make sure the door gaskets seal all the way around; fix gaps early
• Leave space for airflow around the cabinet; do not block vents inside
• Set stable temps (typical targets: 37°F fresh food, 0°F freezer)
• Replace failed lights promptly and safely; see owner's manual for bulb replacement steps

Quick “repair vs. replace” guide

Use this as a practical decision tool when the refrigerator is near the end of its expected life.

Situation	What it usually means	Best next step
Door not sealing, sweating, warm spots	Air leak, higher run time	Inspect/adjust gasket and hinges; consider refrigerator freezer gasket 241872501 if worn
Frost buildup, warm freezer	Defrost issue or airflow problem	Check defrost components; refrigerator defrost timer 215846602 is a common suspect
Noisy or weak airflow in freezer	Evaporator fan issue	Inspect fan blade and ice obstruction; refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 may be needed
Cooling is inconsistent and unit runs a lot	Heat rejection problem	Clean condenser area; verify condenser fan operation

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is running hot or leaking air can still “work,” but it runs longer and harder. That increases energy use, causes temperature swings that spoil food faster, and accelerates wear on the compressor and fans.

The exact cabinet dimensions for Kenmore model 25360752407 are listed in the product specifications section of the owner's manual. For planning purposes, most Kenmore top-mount refrigerators in this series are roughly 30 to 33 inches wide, 65 to 69 inches tall, and 26 to 32 inches deep, plus required installation clearance.

Installation clearances to plan for (model-specific)

The manual for 25360752407 calls out these minimum clearances for airflow and hookups:

• Sides and top: 3/8 inch
• Back: 1 inch
• If the back has exposed black condenser coils/tubing, allow 3 inches at the top
• Keep the toe grille area open for proper air circulation
• If the hinge side is against a wall, allow extra space for a wider door opening

What you need	Typical use	Where to confirm
Cabinet width, height, depth	Fit in the cutout	Owner's manual
Side/top/back clearance	Cooling performance	Owner's manual
Door swing space	Full door opening	Owner's manual

Quick measuring checklist (before moving or installing)

• Measure the opening width at the front and back
• Measure height to the lowest cabinet or trim above the refrigerator
• Measure depth from the wall to the front edge of counters
• Add space for the power cord and any water line (if equipped)
• Confirm you can access the front for leveling and toe grille airflow

Why it matters

Correct sizing and clearances prevent restricted airflow, help the compressor cool efficiently, and reduce door alignment and gasket sealing problems over time.
