For the Kenmore room air conditioner model 25376185310, AC spare parts typically range from under $10 for small electrical items (like fuses) to $100 to $700 for common repairs (like a fan motor or control board), and up to $1,000+ for major sealed-system components. For model-specific part pricing and availability, start with the parts list for this model, then expand your search on Sears PartsDirect.
Typical room air conditioner part cost ranges
These are common price bands we see for window and room air conditioners like Kenmore 25376185310 (parts only):
- $5 to $30: fuses, knobs, small hardware, simple switches
- $15 to $60: air filter, thermistor (temperature sensor)
- $60 to $200: fan blade, capacitor, relays
- $120 to $450: fan motor, user interface (display) board
- $200 to $700: electronic control board, blower assembly components
- $800 to $1,500+: compressor or sealed-system repairs (often not cost-effective on older units)
What changes the price the most
A few factors drive the final cost more than the brand name on the front:
- Part type: controls and motors cost more than plastic trim and hardware
- Availability: discontinued or limited-stock parts often cost more
- Labor and tools: electrical diagnostics and sealed-system work add significant labor cost
- Age and condition: corrosion, bent fins, or heavy dirt buildup can increase repair time
- Install complexity: some parts require removing the cabinet and handling sharp coil fins
Quick “repair vs replace” checklist
Use this to decide whether it is worth repairing your Kenmore 25376185310.
| If you’re replacing this part | Typical decision rule | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Filter, thermistor, knob, fuse | Repair | Low cost, quick improvement |
| Fan motor or control board | Repair if unit is otherwise solid | Common fix, moderate cost |
| Compressor or sealed-system component | Replace in many cases | High cost relative to unit value |
Why it matters
Room air conditioners are heavy and have sharp metal edges and coil fins. If you plan to install a part yourself, follow the handling and safety guidance in the installation guide and confirm electrical requirements in the owner's manual before opening the unit.

What size air conditioner do I need for a 10x10 room?
For a 10x10 room (about 100 sq. ft.), we typically recommend a 5,000 to 6,000 BTU room air conditioner for efficient, comfortable cooling. Your Kenmore 25376185310 is a larger-capacity window unit, so it can cool that space quickly but may cycle on and off more often.
Quick sizing guide (BTU by room size)
Use this as a practical starting point; ceiling height, sun exposure, and insulation can push you up or down.
- 100 sq. ft. (10x10): 5,000 to 6,000 BTU
- 150 sq. ft.: 6,000 to 7,000 BTU
- 250 sq. ft.: 8,000 to 10,000 BTU
- 350 sq. ft.: 10,000 to 12,000 BTU
- 450 sq. ft.: 12,000 to 14,000 BTU
How to tell if a unit is oversized for a small room
An oversized window air conditioner can still work, but these are common side effects:
- Short run times (frequent cycling)
- Less consistent humidity removal (room can feel cool but clammy)
- More noticeable temperature swings
- More start-stop noise
What we know about Kenmore 25376185310 fit and capacity
The installation guide groups units into capacity ranges and lists typical window opening requirements. Use the exact dimensions and window requirements in the installation guide to confirm your window can support the unit safely.
| What you are checking | Why it matters | Where to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| BTU capacity vs. room size | Comfort and humidity control | Owner's manual |
| Window opening and width | Safe mounting and sealing | Installation guide |
| Airflow around the unit | Prevents poor cooling and icing | Owner's manual |
Why it matters
Matching BTU capacity to room size helps the air conditioner run long enough to remove humidity while maintaining steady temperature. The manual also notes that capacity should fit the room size for efficient, satisfactory operation, and that blocked airflow can reduce performance.

Why is my Kenmore air conditioner not blowing cold air?
If your Kenmore room air conditioner model 25376185310 runs but is not blowing cold air, the most common causes are restricted airflow (dirty filter or blocked vents), incorrect settings (temperature too high or vent open), or a normal compressor delay after restarting. Use the 25376185310 owner's manual to confirm control settings and troubleshooting steps.
Quick checks that fix most “not cold” complaints
- Set the temperature lower than the room temperature.
- Make sure the vent control is closed (open vent reduces cooling).
- Wait 3 minutes after turning the unit off and back on; the compressor delay is normal.
- Confirm the unit is plugged into a properly grounded outlet; do not use an extension cord.
- If the cord’s safety device tripped, press RESET on the plug head.
Step-by-step troubleshooting (in order)
- Verify settings: Cooling mode selected, temperature set low, fan speed appropriate.
- Check airflow: Clean the air filter and make sure the front intake and discharge louvers are not blocked by curtains or furniture.
- Confirm vent position: Push the vent control to the closed position for maximum cooling.
- Power reset: Unplug for 10 seconds, plug back in, then restart (this can reset locked controls).
- Allow time to cool: In very hot rooms, cooling can take longer, especially if doors are opening often.
What you should observe (helps pinpoint the cause)
| What you notice | Most likely cause | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| Fan blows but air is not cold right after restart | Compressor delay | Wait 3 minutes, then recheck |
| Weak airflow from the front | Dirty filter or blockage | Clean filter, clear obstructions |
| Room never reaches set temp on hot days | Heat load too high or unit undersized | Reduce heat sources, improve shading/insulation |
| Controls do not respond | Locked or glitchy controls | Unplug 10 seconds to reset |
Why it matters
Low airflow and an open vent can make the evaporator less effective, so the unit runs longer and still feels warm. Correct settings and good airflow let the compressor and fan remove heat efficiently.
Parts and repair help
If basic checks do not restore cooling, we recommend using the model number 25376185310 to look up replacement parts and repair resources through Sears PartsDirect.
