Common Kenmore refrigerator parts people replace

These are frequent wear items on top-mount refrigerators like the Kenmore 25361532804:

Symptom	Common part category	Example part on this model page
Interior light out	Light bulb	Refrigerator light bulb 316538904
Frost buildup, warm fridge	Defrost control parts	Refrigerator defrost timer 215846602 or refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202
Door not sealing, moisture	Door gasket	Refrigerator door gasket (white) 241872502
Noisy or warm temps	Fan parts	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 241854301 or refrigerator condenser fan blade 241639502

Why it matters

Using the correct Kenmore parts for your exact model keeps temperatures stable, reduces energy use, and prevents repeat failures. For example, a weak door seal can cause moisture, frost, and longer run times; a failing evaporator fan can cause warm refrigerator temperatures even when the freezer seems cold.

Quick safety and handling tips

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing electrical parts (lights, fans, defrost timer)
• Wear gloves when replacing a bulb or working near sheet metal edges
• Keep food in a cooler if the doors will be open for an extended repair
• After any repair, allow 24 hours for temperatures to fully stabilize

On a Kenmore 25361532804 top-mount refrigerator, the top section is the freezer compartment. It’s designed to keep foods frozen, and on some setups it can also house an ice maker and freezer door storage bins (depending on the exact configuration shown in your owner's manual).

What the freezer does (and what you’ll typically find there)

• Maintains below-freezing temperatures for long-term food storage
• Helps freeze fresh foods quickly when set correctly
• Often includes door racks or bins for smaller items
• May include an ice maker area (if your refrigerator is equipped for it)
• Works with the refrigerator section through airflow and the cooling system

Freezer vs. refrigerator section: quick comparison

Compartment	Location on this model style	Primary purpose	Typical items
Freezer compartment	Top	Freezing and long-term storage	Frozen foods, ice, ice cream
Fresh food compartment	Bottom	Chilled storage above freezing	Produce, dairy, leftovers

Why it matters

Knowing the correct compartment name helps when you’re using care instructions, troubleshooting cooling issues, or ordering the right replacement parts for your Kenmore refrigerator.

Related parts you might see referenced in freezer-related troubleshooting

If you’re diagnosing airflow or temperature problems that affect the freezer first, these parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 241854301 (moves cold air through the compartments)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 (fan blade that helps circulate air)
• Refrigerator defrost timer 215846602 (controls defrost cycles on timer-based systems)
• Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202 (helps regulate defrost operation)

Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. For Kenmore model 25361532804, the Use & Care Guide specifically notes the model and serial information is found on that serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment; match that number to your paperwork or the owner's manual.

Where to find the model number on a Kenmore top-mount refrigerator

Check these common locations first (in order):

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall
• Inside the refrigerator compartment near the ceiling/light area
• Behind or beside the crisper drawers
• Near the front frame area (sometimes visible when drawers are removed)
• On the cabinet liner wall near the temperature control area

How to read what you find

Kenmore model numbers are typically all numbers and may include a 3-digit prefix that helps identify the platform.

What you see on the label	What it means	What to do next
A full model like 25361532804	This is the exact model ID used to match parts and diagrams	Use it to look up parts and documentation
Model plus serial number	Serial helps identify production details	Record both for service and ordering
Only partial digits	Not enough to match parts reliably	Recheck the label for the full string

Why it matters

Using the exact model number (for example, 25361532804) prevents ordering the wrong Kenmore refrigerator parts such as a door gasket, defrost timer, or light bulb; small design changes can affect fit and wiring.

Quick tips before you write it down

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (all digits, no spaces)
• Take a clear photo of the serial plate for reference
• Keep the model and serial together in your records

On the Kenmore 25361532804 top-mount refrigerator, the temperature sensing components you can access most often are located in the control housing at the top of the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment, near the temperature control knobs and the light. Use the owner's manual to identify the exact control box layout for your version.

What you will typically see in this model

The manual shows the refrigerator and freezer controls grouped in the upper fresh food section (the control box area). That is also where you will usually find the temperature control thermostat and related sensing parts.

• Look at the top interior ceiling of the refrigerator compartment
• Find the control box that contains the refrigerator control and (on some versions) the freezer control
• Check near the light and the air vent openings (do not block vents with food)
• Follow any small wiring harnesses leading into the control housing
• If your unit has a separate freezer control, it may be in the freezer compartment control area on some versions

Quick access and safety checklist

Before you remove panels or unplug connectors, we recommend these basics:

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off the breaker
• Empty the top shelf area for working room
• Use a flashlight to locate wiring and clips
• Avoid pulling on wires; release locking tabs on connectors
• Reinstall covers fully so airflow is not disrupted

Sensor vs. control: what is usually where?

On many top-mount refrigerators, the “temperature sensor” people refer to is actually part of the temperature control (thermostat) system in the control housing.

What you are looking for	Most common location	What it affects
Refrigerator temperature control (thermostat)	Fresh food control box (top interior)	Refrigerator and often freezer temps together
Freezer control (damper style on some models)	Freezer control area or air control path	Freezer temp and airflow balance
Light switch	Near the control box area	Interior light operation

Why it matters

If the sensing/control parts in the control housing are loose, iced up, or not seated correctly, the refrigerator can run too warm, too cold, or cycle inconsistently. Correct placement also helps maintain proper airflow between compartments.
