Kenmore Elite 25314772102 freezer Parts

The Kenmore Elite chest freezer model 25314772102 is a chest-style freezer; the exact exterior dimensions and cubic-foot capacity depend on the specific configuration listed for this model. We recommend confirming the capacity and measurements in the owner's manual before planning space, delivery, or storage layout.

How to find the exact size for model 25314772102

Use these model-specific checks so you get the right numbers for your freezer (not a similar Kenmore model):

• Look up the capacity (cu. ft.) and overall dimensions in the specifications section of the owner's manual.
• Measure your installation space and compare it to the freezer’s width, height, and depth.
• Include clearance for lid swing and airflow around the cabinet.
• If you are placing it in a tight spot, account for the power cord and any rear clearance needed.
• If the freezer is in a garage or utility room, confirm the recommended operating temperature range in the owner's manual.

Quick measuring checklist (what to measure)

Measure in inches with the freezer empty and on a level surface.

Measurement	What to include	Why it matters
Width	Widest point of cabinet	Fit through doorways and final location
Height	Floor to top of lid (closed)	Under shelves and counters
Depth	Front to back of cabinet	Wall clearance and walkway space
Lid clearance	Space above and behind for lid to open	Prevents binding and hinge stress

Why it matters

“Size” can mean capacity (how much food it holds) or dimensions (whether it fits your space). Using the model-specific specs helps avoid ordering the wrong baskets, gaskets, or lid-related parts later.

Most Kenmore chest freezers, including model 25314772102, do not use a dedicated “reset” button for normal operation. Instead, you reset alarms and restore normal control operation using the ALARM RESET key, and you can also perform a basic power reset by unplugging the freezer briefly.

What “reset” means on this model

On the Kenmore Elite chest freezer 25314772102, “reset” usually refers to clearing an alarm or unlocking the controls:

• Silence an alarm beep: press ALARM RESET once.
• Stop a flashing alarm display: press and hold ALARM RESET until the control panel beeps.
• Lock or unlock the control panel: press and hold ALARM RESET until the panel beeps (you will see a lockout message).

For control details and button functions, use the owner's manual.

Quick troubleshooting steps (safe, no tools)

• Confirm the freezer has power (outlet works, cord fully seated).
• Close the lid fully; a lid ajar condition can trigger beeping and a flashing display.
• Press ALARM RESET to silence the audible alarm.
• If the display is flashing, press and hold ALARM RESET until it beeps.
• If the controls seem unresponsive, toggle the control lockout (press and hold ALARM RESET).
• If needed, do a power reset: unplug for about 30 seconds, then plug back in.

Common alarm situations and the “reset” action

What you notice	Likely cause	What to do
Beeps every 5 seconds, display alternates with a door/lid indicator	Lid ajar too long	Close lid; press ALARM RESET to silence
Display off, beeps every minute	Power failure alarm	Press ALARM RESET; alarm stops when power is stable
Display alternates temp with “CE” or “E” and beeps	System error	Press ALARM RESET to silence; service repair is needed

Why it matters

Using ALARM RESET correctly prevents nuisance beeping, helps you confirm the lid is sealing, and keeps you aware of real temperature risks (for example after a power loss) so food stays safely frozen.

On the Kenmore Elite 25314772102 chest freezer, the most common reasons it stops working are simple power or control issues (temperature control set to OFF, loose plug, tripped breaker) and outlet problems such as using a GFCI-protected receptacle. Start with the checks in the owner's manual.

Quick checks first (no tools)

• Confirm the temperature control is not set to OFF (OFF stops the compressor).
• Make sure the plug is fully seated in the outlet.
• Reset the tripped circuit breaker or replace a blown fuse (use a 15 amp time-delay fuse where applicable).
• Avoid outlets protected by GFCI (not recommended for this freezer).
• Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
• Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

If it has power but still will not run

If the freezer has power and the control is set correctly, a failed start or control component can prevent the compressor from starting.

Common part-related suspects include:

• Start device issues: ptc starter 5304493950
• Control failure: frigidaire freezer electronic control board 216979700
• Wiring damage or loose connections: main harness 297004300

Fast symptom guide

What you notice	Most likely direction	What to do next
No lights, no sound	Power supply or outlet issue	Try a different non-GFCI outlet; check breaker/fuse
Light works, compressor silent	Control set to OFF or start/control problem	Verify control setting; inspect start/control parts
Runs a lot but not cold	Lid seal leak or warm-air intrusion	Check gasket fit and lid closure

Why it matters

A chest freezer can stop running from a simple setting or outlet issue, and running on incorrect power (voltage swings, extension cords, or the wrong receptacle type) can also damage the motor over time. Fixing the root cause protects food and prevents repeat failures.

For 400 lbs of meat, plan on about 10 to 12 cu. ft. minimum, and 12 to 16 cu. ft. for easier stacking, airflow, and organization (especially with bone-in cuts). For best results, follow the loading and Quick Freeze guidance in the 25314772102 owner's manual.

Quick sizing rule (easy math)

A dependable planning rule is 1 cu. ft. per 35 to 40 lbs of packaged meat.

• 400 lbs ÷ 40 = 10 cu. ft.
• 400 lbs ÷ 35 = 11.4 cu. ft.
• Add extra space for odd-shaped packages and baskets: +2 to +5 cu. ft.

Freezing a large amount safely (important)

Total capacity is only half the story; freezing performance depends on how much unfrozen meat you load at one time.

From the Kenmore Elite 25314772102 manual:

• Let the freezer run about 4 hours to cool down before loading unfrozen food
• Freeze only 3 lbs of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time
• Spread packages out so cold air can circulate
• Use Quick Freeze for large loads; cool hot food to room temperature first

What the manual’s 3 lb per cu. ft. limit means

Freezer size	Fresh load per batch	Batches to freeze 400 lbs
12 cu. ft.	36 lbs	12
15 cu. ft.	45 lbs	9
20 cu. ft.	60 lbs	7

Why it matters

Choosing enough cubic feet prevents overpacking (slow freezing and warm spots). Following the manual’s per-batch freezing limit helps the compressor pull temperatures down quickly, which protects food quality.

On Kenmore Elite chest freezer model 25314772102, the model and serial number are printed on the serial plate located on the left exterior wall of the cabinet. Use both numbers when ordering parts or matching diagrams.

How to find it fast

• Look at the left outside side panel of the freezer cabinet.
• Find a sticker or metal tag labeled Model and Serial.
• Wipe dust or frost residue so every digit is readable.
• Write the numbers down exactly as shown (including any dots or dashes).
• Take a clear photo for reference when ordering parts.

If you do not see the label right away

Sometimes the plate is easy to miss depending on placement and lighting.

• Check the left exterior wall near the back corner.
• Use a flashlight and look for a silver rating plate or white sticker.
• If the freezer is tight to a wall, carefully pull it forward a few inches.

What you need	What it’s used for
Model number	Ensures the correct parts list and diagrams for your freezer
Serial number	Helps match production variations when applicable

Why it matters

Kenmore chest freezers can use different components across close model variations. The correct model number helps match items like a lid gasket, temperature sensor, or electronic control board to your exact freezer.

Reference

The serial plate location for this model is listed in the owner's manual.
