Kenmore 25360819710 top-mount refrigerator Parts

A top-mount refrigerator is a two-door refrigerator design with the freezer compartment on top and the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment below. Your Kenmore 25360819710 is a top-mount model, so you access frozen items from the upper door and everyday refrigerated items from the lower door.

In a typical top-mount refrigerator like the Kenmore 25360819710, you will see these zones:

• Freezer (top): ice bucket or ice tray, freezer shelf, and freezer temperature control (on some models)
• Fresh food section (bottom): full shelves, deli/pantry drawer (some models), and crispers for produce
• Door storage: door racks, dairy door, and fixed door bins
• Bottom front: toe grille (covers leveling feet/rollers and helps airflow)

For model-specific features and the exact shelf and drawer configuration, use the owner's manual.

Top-mount refrigerators are popular because they balance capacity, simplicity, and cost.

Because the freezer is on top, a few setup and maintenance items matter more:

• Leveling: we set the cabinet level side-to-side and slightly tilted back so doors close on their own
• Door sealing: both doors must seal fully to prevent frost and temperature swings
• Door swing: many top-mount models allow reversing the door swing (best handled by a qualified person)
• Airflow: keep vents clear so cold air can circulate from freezer to refrigerator section

Knowing you have a top-mount design helps you diagnose symptoms correctly. For example, many “warm fridge” complaints trace back to airflow from the top freezer, door gasket sealing, or defrost issues rather than a problem with shelves or drawers.

For Kenmore top-mount refrigerator model 25360819710, the correct filter depends on whether your refrigerator uses an internal cartridge filter or an inline filter in the water supply line. We use your Owner's manual to confirm the filter style and replacement steps for your exact configuration.

Check these common locations on Kenmore top-mount models:

• Inside the fresh food compartment: upper right corner, ceiling area, or back wall (cartridge-style)
• Base grille area: behind a lower kickplate (cartridge-style)
• Behind the refrigerator: a small cylinder in the 1/4-inch water line (inline filter)
• No filter installed: some setups rely on a household filtration system instead

Your installation guidance calls for a cold water line with 30 to 100 psi and 1/4-inch (6.4 mm) OD copper tubing, plus a shut-off valve and compression fittings. That setup supports either a refrigerator filter or an inline filter, depending on how your unit was configured. See the Installation guide for the water supply connection details.

Use these steps to avoid buying the wrong part:

• Look for a twist-in or push-button release filter head inside the refrigerator
• Inspect the back lower area for an inline filter canister on the water line
• If you have an ice maker, confirm whether water quality issues (taste/odor) improve after filtration
• Match the filter by model number 25360819710 when selecting a replacement

Using the correct water filter helps protect the ice maker and water system from sediment and taste/odor issues, and it keeps water flow strong so the ice maker fills properly.

Kenmore model 25360819710 is a Kenmore-branded top-mount refrigerator built on the 253.6081* platform shown in the documentation; this 253-prefix platform is manufactured for Kenmore by Frigidaire (Electrolux). For model identification details, use the owner's manual.

Kenmore is a brand, and different manufacturers build different Kenmore model series. For this refrigerator, the strongest identifiers are the model platform and the parts ecosystem.

• The Use & Care Guide lists models 253.6081* and 253.7081*.
• Kenmore model numbers that start with 253 are Frigidaire-built units.
• Many replacement parts for this model are Frigidaire/Electrolux-labeled components (for example door bins and fan parts).

Knowing the original manufacturer helps when you are matching parts (door gasket color, door bins, crisper components) and when you are using diagrams and procedures that apply to the same platform.

If you are shopping by component type, these are common examples from the parts list for model 25360819710:

• Frigidaire refrigerator door bin 240337901
• Frigidaire refrigerator door gallon bin 240338001
• Electrolux refrigerator condenser fan blade 241639502

On a Kenmore top-mount refrigerator like model 25360819710, the “top part” is the freezer compartment (the freezer section above the fresh food section). In the diagram, you may also see parts inside that top section labeled as the ice maker, ice bucket, and freezer shelf; see the owner's manual.

People use “top part” in a few different ways. Here are the most common names:

• Freezer compartment: the entire upper section (typical for top-mount/top-freezer models)
• Freezer door: the upper door that seals the freezer
• Freezer shelf: the shelf inside the freezer
• Ice maker / ice bucket (some models): components mounted in the freezer
• Auxiliary freezer control: a temperature control that may be located in or near the freezer area

Using the right term helps you find the correct diagram and replacement part faster. For example, “freezer door” parts (gaskets, handles) are different from “freezer shelf” or “ice maker” parts.

If you are trying to name the “top part” because something is broken or missing, these are common top-section related items for this model:

• Ice maker (if equipped): refrigerator ice maker IM116000
• Door seal issues (air leaks can cause frost): frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (black) 242193212
• Door seal issues (white option): frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (white) 242193206

A Kenmore refrigerator typically lasts 12 to 15 years. With steady temperatures (about 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer), good airflow, and tight door seals, many Kenmore 25360819710 top-mount refrigerators reach the upper end of that range.

Most lifespan differences come down to heat load, airflow, and how hard the sealed system has to work.

• Room temperature and ventilation: hot rooms and blocked airflow make the refrigerator run longer.
• Door openings: frequent or long openings add warm air and moisture.
• Door gasket condition: worn or dirty gaskets cause air leaks and longer run times.
• Cleaning and organization: overcrowding reduces air circulation and can cause uneven cooling.
• Ice maker use (if equipped): ice production adds run time.

Use these habits to reduce compressor run time and extend service life.

• Keep the fresh food section 34°F to 40°F (target 37°F).
• Keep the freezer at 0°F or lower.
• Avoid overpacking shelves so air can circulate.
• Keep doors closing fully; don’t let bins or containers block the seal.
• Clean the door gasket and inspect for gaps, tears, or hard spots.

If your refrigerator runs too long, won’t hold temperature, or you see condensation around the door, the gasket is a common wear item.

For this model, common gasket options include frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (white) 242193206 and frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (black) 242193212 (match color and placement to your unit).

A refrigerator that runs “too much or too long” wears components faster and uses more energy. Keeping temperatures set correctly and maintaining a tight door seal helps the compressor cycle normally and protects food quality.

For model-specific operating guidance and temperature recommendations, use the owner's manual.
