How many cubic feet is Kenmore freezer Model 25328042804?
The exact cubic-foot capacity for Kenmore upright freezer model 25328042804 is listed on the model’s rating label and in the specifications section of the 25328042804 owner's manual. Most Kenmore upright freezers in this model family are commonly in the mid-size to full-size range (about 15 to 20 cu. ft.), depending on the exact configuration.
Where to find the exact capacity on your freezer
We recommend checking the rating label because it matches your specific unit’s build.
- Look inside the freezer on the upper left interior wall for the model and serial label
- Check for a specifications line that lists capacity in cu. ft.
- Compare the label model number to 25328042804 to ensure it matches
- If the label is hard to read, use a flashlight and take a close-up photo
Quick ways to confirm you have the right information
Capacity can vary between similar-looking Kenmore models, so use at least two checks.
| Check | What to match | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Rating label | Model number and capacity | Most accurate for your exact unit |
| Owner’s manual specs | Model series details | Confirms features and configuration |
| Interior layout | Shelves, bins, drawer style | Helps avoid mixing up similar models |
Why it matters
Knowing the correct cubic-foot capacity helps when you are planning food storage, comparing energy use, and choosing correctly sized replacement items like a door bin A00299203 or shelf supports.

How do I reset my Kenmore freezer?
To reset your Kenmore freezer model 25328042804, unplug the power cord for about 5 minutes, then plug it back in. This power reset clears many temporary control issues and restores normal operation; allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize afterward (see the 25328042804 owner's manual).
Reset steps (safe, quick checklist)
- Turn the temperature control to a normal setting (not OFF) before resetting.
- Unplug the freezer from the wall outlet.
- Wait 5 minutes.
- Plug the freezer back in firmly.
- Keep the door closed and let the freezer run.
- Check temperature after several hours; full cool-down can take time after power loss.
If the alarm or display is beeping after the reset
Your freezer can beep when it senses a condition such as high temperature, door ajar, or an operational error. Use these common actions:
- Close the door completely and confirm it seals.
- Press ALARM RESET to silence the audible alarm.
- Verify the freezer has power (outlet, breaker, house power).
| What you notice | What it usually means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature flashes and beeps | Freezer temperature too high | Press ALARM RESET; keep door closed and allow time to recover |
| Alternating “d” and temperature | Door ajar | Close door; press ALARM RESET |
| Alternating “E” or “CE” and temperature | Operational error | Press ALARM RESET; schedule service if it returns |
Why it matters
A simple power reset fixes many short-term control glitches, but it does not correct airflow problems, door seal leaks, or cooling system failures. If the freezer warms up again after resetting, focus next on door sealing and basic power checks.
When to check the door seal
If the door seems slightly open or you see frost buildup, inspect and clean the gasket. A damaged seal can cause long run times and warm temperatures; the correct replacement for this model is the freezer door gasket 5304507199.

What causes an upright freezer to stop freezing?
On Kenmore upright freezer model 25328042804, the most common reasons it stops freezing are restricted airflow (overpacking or blocked vents), dirty condenser areas, a door that is not sealing, or a temperature control setting issue. Less commonly, a failed compressor start component, fan, or sealed-system problem can stop cooling.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Confirm the temperature control is set for colder operation; then wait several hours for temperatures to stabilize.
- Make sure the door closes and seals fully; a poor seal lets warm, moist air in and quickly raises cabinet temperature.
- Reduce overloading and keep air passages clear; shelf liners like foil or paper can block cold-air circulation.
- Limit door openings and let hot foods cool to room temperature before loading.
- Verify the freezer is level so the door aligns and seals properly.
Most likely causes and what you will notice
| Likely cause | What you typically notice | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Door not sealing (gasket dirty, worn, or misfitted) | Frost buildup, longer run times, temps rising | Clean the gasket and check for gaps; replace if torn or hardened |
| Temperature control set too warm | Freezer runs but won’t reach safe temps | Adjust colder; allow several hours between adjustments |
| Airflow restricted (overpacked, vents blocked, shelf liners) | Warm spots, slow freezing | Reorganize for airflow; remove shelf liners |
| Freezer not level | Door looks misaligned, won’t self-close well | Adjust leveling feet so the door closes easily |
| Start or compressor issue | Clicking, humming, then stopping; no cooling | Test start components; service may be needed |
Parts that commonly solve “not freezing” symptoms
If the door seal is leaking, the correct replacement for this model is the freezer door gasket 5304507199. If the compressor is not starting reliably, a common related component is the electrolux freezer compressor start relay 216954236.
Why it matters
Food safety and food quality depend on stable freezer temperatures. Warm air leaks and poor airflow force the compressor to run longer and can lead to frost, moisture, and temperature swings.
For model-specific operating details (temperature control location, leveling guidance, and usage tips), follow the 25328042804 owner's manual.
