How many cubic feet is Kenmore freezer Model 25328432800?
Kenmore upright freezer model 25328432800 is typically in the 15 to 17 cubic feet class for this style of freestanding upright freezer. For the exact capacity for your specific unit, we recommend confirming it in the 25328432800 owner's manual.
How to confirm the exact cubic feet (fastest options)
- Check the specifications section in the 25328432800 owner's manual.
- Look for the model and rating label inside the cabinet (often on a side wall); capacity is sometimes listed there.
- If the label lists dimensions only, compare them to typical upright-freezer sizes (see table below).
- If you are comparing units for storage planning, use usable space (shelves and bins) as the practical measure.
- Keep airflow clear around shelves and the rear wall; packed vents reduce cooling performance.
Typical upright freezer capacity ranges (for context)
| Upright freezer class | Typical capacity (cu ft) | Common use case |
|---|---|---|
| Compact | 3 to 7 | Small households, garage overflow |
| Mid-size | 8 to 14 | Weekly bulk shopping |
| Full-size | 15 to 21 | Large families, long-term storage |
Why it matters
Capacity affects how you organize food, how quickly the freezer recovers temperature after door openings, and whether shelves and baskets feel “tight” or roomy. Knowing the exact cubic feet also helps when comparing energy use and planning where the freezer will fit.

Is there a reset button on a Kenmore upright freezer?
Most Kenmore upright freezers, including model 25328432800, do not have a single dedicated “reset” button. A practical reset is to power-cycle the freezer (unplug briefly, then restore power) and then confirm the temperature settings using the instructions in the 25328432800 owner's manual.
How to “reset” your Kenmore 25328432800 safely
- Unplug the freezer (or switch the breaker off) for 5 minutes.
- Plug it back in (or turn the breaker on).
- Set the control to your normal target temperature (most freezers are set around 0°F).
- Wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize before judging performance.
- If the control panel is unresponsive, check the outlet by plugging in a lamp.
If the freezer still will not cool after a reset
A reset will not fix a failed cooling component. These checks narrow down the most common causes:
- Listen for the evaporator fan; if it is silent, the fan motor or blade can be involved.
- Check for heavy frost on the back interior panel (often points to a defrost system issue).
- Make sure the door closes tightly and the gasket seals all the way around.
- Confirm the condenser area is clean and has airflow.
Common symptoms and what they usually mean
| What you notice | What it often points to | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| No fan sound inside | Evaporator fan problem | Motor 297309000, blade 5308000010 |
| Heavy frost buildup | Defrost system problem | Defrost thermostat, defrost heater |
| Lights on, no cooling | Control or compressor start issue | Control board, start components |
Why it matters
Power-cycling clears minor control glitches and restores normal operation after a brief outage. If cooling does not return, the issue is usually mechanical or electrical (fan, defrost, control, or sealed system) and needs targeted troubleshooting.

Where to find model number on upright freezer?
On a Kenmore upright freezer like model 25328432800, the model number is printed on a rating label inside the cabinet or on the cabinet frame near the door opening. We use that exact model number to match the correct parts list, diagrams, and troubleshooting info.
Most common label locations
Check these spots first (in order):
- Inside the freezer on a side wall (often upper left or upper right)
- On the cabinet frame just inside the door opening
- On the ceiling of the freezer compartment
- Behind the lower kick plate or toe grille (front bottom)
- On the back exterior panel
Quick steps to find it fast
- Open the door and scan the cabinet walls and door frame for a white or silver sticker.
- Look for wording like Model, Model No., or MOD.
- Write down the full model number and any serial number.
- Confirm the format in the 25328432800 owner's manual so you record the right characters.
What the label usually looks like
| What you’ll see | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Model number (example: 25328432800) | Ensures the correct Kenmore parts fit |
| Serial number | Helps identify production run and revisions |
| Electrical ratings | Helps with safe power and service checks |
Why it matters
Kenmore freezers can look similar across multiple model series, but parts like the door gasket, electronic control board, or evaporator fan motor can vary by model. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong replacement part and speeds up troubleshooting.
