Kenmore 25324452102 freezer Parts

The exact cubic-foot capacity for Kenmore upright freezer model 25324452102 is listed on the model’s specification information in the 25324452102 owner's manual. Most Kenmore upright freezers in this style are commonly in the mid-to-high teens (roughly 15 to 18 cu. ft.), but the manual is the best place to confirm the precise number for your unit.

How to find the capacity for model 25324452102

Check these common places where capacity is typically shown:

• The specifications section of the 25324452102 owner's manual
• The model and serial tag inside the cabinet (often on the upper left interior wall on upright models)
• The product rating label area near the serial plate
• Any original sales receipt or product listing that matches 25324452102 exactly

Typical capacity range (for context)

If you are comparing sizes, here is what we see most often for upright freezers:

Upright freezer size class	Typical capacity range	Best use
Compact	3 to 9 cu. ft.	Small households, overflow storage
Mid-size	10 to 14 cu. ft.	Moderate frozen-food storage
Full-size	15 to 18+ cu. ft.	Bulk shopping, large households

Why it matters

Capacity affects how much food you can store, how you organize baskets and shelves, and how long the freezer can hold safe temperatures during a power failure. It also helps when ordering accessories and planning placement and ventilation.

For Kenmore upright freezer model 25324452102, the model and serial number plate is typically on the upper left wall inside the freezer, visible when you open the door. We recommend recording both numbers so you can match the correct parts and instructions in the 25324452102 owner's manual.

Where to look (upright vs. chest)

• Upright freezer (like model 25324452102): check the upper left interior wall
• Chest freezer: check the left exterior wall, usually above the access panel
• Look for a data plate or serial plate with “Model” and “Serial” fields
• Write the numbers down exactly as shown (including all digits)

Quick checklist to confirm you found the right label

• The label includes Model Number and Serial Number
• It is a factory-printed sticker or metal plate (not a store tag)
• The model number format often starts with 253. (common for many Kenmore-built units)

Why the model number matters

The model number is how we match your freezer to the correct parts and repair information. For example, if you are ordering a temperature control knob or troubleshooting defrost issues, the exact model number helps ensure compatibility.

A Kenmore upright freezer like model 25324452102 typically lasts 10 to 15 years with normal household use. Keeping the condenser area clean, maintaining good airflow, and avoiding frequent door openings helps the sealed refrigeration system and controls run longer.

Typical lifespan and what to expect

Most upright freezers fall into this range:

Appliance type	Typical lifespan	Notes
Upright freezer (household use)	10 to 15 years	Longer life is common with steady room temps and good maintenance
Sealed refrigeration system components	10 to 15 years	Compressor and refrigerant loop life depends heavily on ventilation and cleanliness

What shortens (or extends) freezer life

These are the biggest real-world factors we see:

• Poor airflow around the cabinet (heat cannot escape, compressor runs hotter)
• Warm installation location (operation is less efficient in high ambient temps)
• Dirty condenser area (forces longer run times)
• Heavy frost buildup from door leaks or frequent openings
• Power issues (low voltage or unstable supply can stress electrical components)

For model-specific operating and care guidance, follow the 25324452102 owner's manual.

Parts that commonly affect performance as the freezer ages

A freezer can still be “alive” but not cooling well if a few service parts are failing. Common examples for this model include:

• Defrost timer 5304518034 (can cause excessive frost if it stops advancing)
• Thermostat 297216600 (can lead to temperature swings or long run times)
• Freezer defrost heater 5304496687 (failed heater often leads to heavy frost and warm temps)
• Motor 297309000 and blade 5308000010 (evaporator fan issues reduce airflow and cooling)

Why it matters

Knowing the typical 10 to 15 year lifespan helps you decide whether to repair or replace. If your 25324452102 is near the upper end of that range and needs a major sealed-system repair, many owners choose to focus on airflow, defrost performance, and door sealing first to restore cooling efficiently.
