Kenmore 25364802400 refrigerator Parts

You usually cannot tell the exact size (cubic feet or exterior dimensions) from the model number alone. For Kenmore model 25364802400, the reliable way is to use the rating plate information and the specifications listed in the 25364802400 owner's manual.

What you can learn from the model number (and what you cannot)

Model numbers often indicate the brand family and design series, but they do not consistently encode capacity.

• Often indicates: brand series (Kenmore 253 prefix), style family, and revision
• Sometimes indicates: feature package (ice maker-ready, finish, control type)
• Does not reliably indicate: cubic feet, width, height, or depth
• Best source for exact size: the specification section in the manual

How to confirm the refrigerator size for 25364802400

Use these steps to get the correct capacity and fit measurements before ordering parts or planning installation.

1. Find the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment (the manual notes the model and serial information is located inside the fresh food section).
2. Check the specifications and installation information in the 25364802400 owner's manual.
3. If you are planning a tight fit, follow the clearance guidance in the 25364802400 installation guide.

Typical fit planning measurements (helpful when you are measuring your space)

Even without exact published dimensions in front of you, these are the measurements we recommend recording:

Measurement to record	Where to measure	Why it matters
Width	widest point of cabinet	Confirms opening fit
Height	floor to top of cabinet	Confirms overhead clearance
Depth	back to front (include handles if needed)	Prevents door and walkway issues
Door swing clearance	hinge side to wall	Ensures doors open fully

Why it matters

Knowing the true size prevents installation problems and helps you choose compatible replacement parts and accessories. For example, storage components like the crisper drawer - refrigerator storage component by frigidaire 240337103 must match the interior layout used on model 25364802400.

Most Kenmore refrigerators, including the Kenmore 25364802400 top-mount refrigerator, last 12 to 15 years with normal household use. Good airflow around the cabinet, steady power, and basic cleaning help the compressor and sealed system run longer; see the 25364802400 owner's manual for care and operating guidance.

What affects refrigerator lifespan the most

• Ventilation: Keep airflow open around the refrigerator so heat can dissipate.
• Power quality: Voltage swings (about 10% or more) can hurt performance and strain the compressor.
• Door sealing: A leaking gasket makes the unit run longer and wear faster.
• Condenser cleanliness: Dust buildup increases run time and heat.
• Usage habits: Frequent door openings and warm food loads increase workload.

Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)

• Vacuum dust from the condenser area and surrounding vents.
• Confirm the refrigerator is on a dedicated outlet (not a wall switch controlled outlet).
• Keep door gaskets clean and check for gaps.
• Set temperatures to normal food-safe ranges and avoid overpacking air vents.
• Replace failed interior lighting promptly using the correct bulb, such as the refrigerator light bulb 316538904 when it matches your setup.

Typical lifespan expectations

Item	Typical range	What it means for you
Whole refrigerator	12 to 15 years	Common replacement window for cooling performance and efficiency
Sealed system components (compressor, refrigerant loop)	10+ years typical	Often the deciding factor in repair vs. replace
Wear items (gaskets, shelves, drawers)	Varies	Usually economical to replace to keep the unit sealing and organized

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer than it should (from poor airflow, weak door seals, or dirty condenser areas) puts extra stress on the compressor and can shorten the overall service life.

On the Kenmore 25364802400 top-mount refrigerator, the top section is the freezer compartment. It is the colder compartment designed to keep foods frozen, and on many setups it also supports ice making (if your unit is equipped with an ice maker). For model-specific features and control locations, use the 25364802400 use and care guide.

What the freezer compartment does

• Maintains freezing temperatures for long-term storage
• Circulates cold air that also helps cool the fresh food section below
• Often includes door shelves, a main shelf, and an interior storage area
• May include an ice maker (optional on some configurations)

Freezer vs. fresh food compartment (quick comparison)

Compartment	Location on this model style	Primary purpose	Typical items
Freezer compartment	Top	Freezing and frozen storage	Frozen meals, ice, meat for long storage
Fresh food compartment	Bottom	Refrigerated storage	Produce, dairy, leftovers, drinks

Tips for better freezer performance

We recommend these basics for top-mount freezers like the Kenmore 25364802400:

• Leave space between packages so cold air can circulate
• Avoid overloading the freezer door with hard-to-freeze items
• Keep the door closing tightly and level the cabinet if needed
• Set controls to the recommended starting points in the manual
• Keep condenser areas clean so the unit runs efficiently

Why it matters

Knowing the correct compartment name helps when you are reading troubleshooting steps, adjusting temperature controls, or ordering parts such as a door gasket, shelf trim, or a light bulb.

For Kenmore refrigerator model 25364802400, the cubic feet (capacity) is listed on the serial or rating plate inside the fresh food compartment. We also recommend checking the capacity section in the 25364802400 owner's manual for model-specific labeling and location details.

Where to look inside the refrigerator

The manual notes the serial plate is located inside the refrigerator compartment. Common places to check include:

• On a side wall near the top shelf
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment
• Behind or beside the crisper drawers
• Near the temperature control housing
• Along the door frame edge (fresh food side)

What the capacity label looks like

On many Kenmore top-mount refrigerators, capacity is shown as one of these terms on the plate:

• Total volume
• Total capacity
• Cu. ft.
• Refrigerator volume and freezer volume (listed separately)

Quick reference table

Label wording you see	What it means
Total volume / Total capacity	Overall cubic feet for fridge + freezer
Refrigerator volume	Fresh food section cubic feet
Freezer volume	Freezer section cubic feet

If the label is missing or unreadable

You can still estimate capacity by measuring the usable interior space and converting to cubic feet.

• Measure interior width, height, and depth in inches (fresh food and freezer separately)
• Multiply to get cubic inches
• Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet
• Add the two sections for an estimated total

Why it matters

Knowing cubic feet helps us match the right Kenmore 253 series replacement parts and accessories (like shelves, door bins, and drawers) and confirms you are shopping for the correct size category of top-mount refrigerator.

Kenmore is a brand name, and model 25364802400 is part of Kenmore’s 253 model prefix family, which is commonly associated with Frigidaire/Electrolux-built refrigerators. You can confirm the exact model and serial details on the serial plate inside the fresh food compartment and in the 25364802400 owner's manual.

How to confirm the manufacturer on your exact unit

We recommend verifying using the identification label (serial plate) inside the refrigerator compartment.

• Open the fresh food door and look along the interior side wall for the serial plate
• Record the full model number and serial number exactly as shown
• Match the prefix (for example, 253) to the manufacturer code family
• Keep the information for parts lookup, service, and warranty reference
• Use the manual’s “model and serial” section to confirm the label location

What the “253” prefix means

Kenmore model numbers often start with a 3-digit prefix that points to the original manufacturer.

What you see	What it indicates	Why it helps
25364802400	“253” prefix family	Identifies the build family used for parts and service
Serial plate info	Exact unit identity	Ensures correct parts match and documentation

Why it matters for parts and repairs

Knowing who built the refrigerator helps you choose compatible parts (like door gaskets, shelves, and evaporator fan components) and follow the right troubleshooting steps for cooling, defrost, and ice maker issues.

If you are ordering common fit parts for this model, match by model number first; for example, storage and door components such as the crisper drawer - refrigerator storage component by frigidaire 240337103 are model-specific.
