Kenmore 25368802015 top-mount refrigerator Parts

A top-mount refrigerator like Kenmore 25368802015 puts the freezer at eye level and the fresh-food section lower, so you bend more for everyday items. Compared with many bottom-freezer designs, you typically get fewer organization features and fewer built-in dispenser options.

• More bending for fresh food: produce, drinks, and leftovers sit lower in the cabinet.
• Less “grab-and-go” organization: fewer slide-out bins and wide pantry drawers on many top-mount models.
• Limited dispenser features: many top-mount units do not include an external water or ice dispenser.
• Door-swing clearance needs: you may need extra space to fully open doors and drawers.
• Temperature sensitivity in the room: very cold or very hot rooms can reduce cooling performance.

Most households use the fresh-food section far more than the freezer. With a top-mount layout, the “most-used” items are lower, so comfort and convenience can be the deciding factor even when capacity is similar.

• Keep everyday items at mid-shelf height to reduce bending.
• Use the crisper area for bulk produce and less-frequent items; replace broken storage parts such as the crisper drawer - refrigerator storage component by frigidaire 240337103 if needed.
• Make sure the refrigerator is level and slightly tilted back so doors close and seal properly (a common cause of warm temps and moisture).
• Follow the clearance and placement guidance in the installation guide to support airflow and consistent cooling.

Kenmore model 25368802015 is a top-mount refrigerator (freezer on top), not an upright freezer. The exact cubic-foot capacity is listed on the model’s rating label and in the 25368802015 owner's manual; most Kenmore top-freezer units of this style are roughly 14 to 20 cu. ft. total capacity.

Use these quick checks to get the precise number for your refrigerator-freezer:

• Check the rating label inside the fresh food section (often on a side wall or near the crisper area); capacity is commonly shown as “Total volume” or “cu. ft.”
• Look up the specifications section in the 25368802015 owner's manual
• If you only need freezer size, note that top-freezer compartments are typically about 25% to 35% of total capacity
• Measure interior space only if needed (capacity is based on usable volume, not exterior dimensions)

If you are comparing models, “size” can mean capacity or exterior dimensions.

Even when capacity is similar, the cabinet fit can differ. For this model’s installation planning, we follow the clearances in the 25368802015 installation guide:

• Plan for 3/8 inch clearance at the sides and top
• Plan for 1 inch clearance at the rear
• Keep room temperature between 55°F and 110°F for proper cooling performance
• Level the cabinet so doors seal correctly (the cabinet typically tilts slightly back)

Capacity helps you compare storage space, but installation space and airflow clearances determine whether the refrigerator cools properly and whether doors close and seal. A poor seal can lead to frost, warm temps, and higher energy use.

Kenmore model 25368802015 is a Kenmore 253-prefix refrigerator, which is manufactured for Kenmore by Frigidaire (Electrolux/Frigidaire family). Kenmore is the brand name; the actual production is done by the manufacturer tied to the model’s prefix.

Kenmore model numbers commonly use a 3-digit prefix that identifies the manufacturing source.

• Look at the first three digits: 253
• That prefix is associated with Frigidaire-built Kenmore refrigerators
• The remaining digits identify the specific design and feature set

We recommend checking the rating label to match the model number exactly before ordering parts.

• Inside the fresh food compartment (side wall or ceiling area)
• On the cabinet frame near the door opening
• Sometimes behind the crisper drawers

Knowing the manufacturer behind a Kenmore model helps you match the correct part design, fit, and installation style (for example, door bins, gaskets, and fan components can vary by manufacturer family).

For installation clearances, leveling, and door alignment steps specific to this refrigerator, use the installation guide. For operating details and care information, use the 25368802015 owner’s manual.
