How many cubic feet is a Kenmore upright freezer model 25371132103?
Kenmore model 25371132103 is a top-mount refrigerator, not an upright freezer. Its exact cubic-foot capacity is listed on the model’s rating information and in the specifications section of the 25371132103 owner's manual; use that value for the correct total and compartment capacities.
We recommend using the model-specific documentation because capacity can vary by configuration.
- Check the specifications or product data section in the 25371132103 owner's manual.
- Look for the serial plate inside the fresh food compartment; the manual notes the model and serial information is located there.
- If you see multiple capacity numbers, use the one labeled total capacity (not just freezer or refrigerator).
- If you are comparing to an upright freezer, confirm you are using the correct appliance type (upright freezer vs. top-mount refrigerator).
| Appliance type | What “cubic feet” usually represents | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Upright freezer | Total freezer storage volume | 14 to 21 cu. ft. |
| Top-mount refrigerator | Total volume (refrigerator + freezer) | 14 to 22 cu. ft. |
Capacity affects food storage planning, energy use expectations, and whether shelves, bins, and door storage match what you need. Using the correct model type (top-mount refrigerator vs. upright freezer) prevents ordering the wrong parts and comparing the wrong specifications.

What is a top mount refrigerator?
A top-mount refrigerator, like Kenmore model 25371132103, has the freezer compartment on top and the fresh-food (refrigerator) section below. This classic layout gives you straightforward storage, easy access to everyday refrigerated items, and a separate freezer space above.
In a top-mount refrigerator, you typically use the upper door for frozen foods and the lower door for fresh foods.
Common features you will see:
- Freezer section on top with shelves or a bin
- Fresh-food section below with adjustable shelves and crisper drawers
- Door storage for jars, bottles, and cans
- Some models support an automatic ice maker (water supply required)
Proper airflow and leveling matter for cooling performance and door operation. The 25371132103 Use & Care Guide calls out these typical clearances:
| Location | Typical clearance |
|---|---|
| Sides and top | 3/8 inch |
| Back | 1 inch |
It also notes not to block the toe grille and to install the refrigerator on a level, solid floor. For the exact guidance for your unit, use the 25371132103 owner's manual.
The top-mount design affects daily convenience and performance. With the refrigerator section at eye and waist level, you access fresh foods more often without bending as much, while the freezer stays separate above for longer-term storage.

What size is a Kenmore refrigerator model 25371132103?
For Kenmore top-mount refrigerator model 25371132103, the cabinet size is 32 in. wide, 65-3/4 in. high, and 26-5/8 in. deep (depth is typically measured without the doors and handles). For the most accurate fit, confirm the measurement method in the 25371132103 owner's manual.
Use these measurements when checking doorway clearance, cabinet openings, and delivery paths:
- Width: 32 in.
- Height: 65-3/4 in.
- Depth: 26-5/8 in.
- Allow extra space behind and above the unit for airflow
- Plan for door swing so shelves and bins can open fully
These steps prevent the most common "it won’t fit" surprises:
- Measure the opening width at the front and back (walls are not always square).
- Measure height to the lowest cabinet or trim above the refrigerator.
- Measure doorways and hallways on the delivery route.
- Add clearance for hinges and door swing.
- Leave space for air circulation around the refrigerator (recommended in the manual).
Different sellers and owners sometimes report different depths because they measure different points.
| Measurement type | What it usually includes | Why it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet depth | Box only | Most consistent number |
| Depth with doors | Cabinet plus doors | Doors add noticeable depth |
| Depth with handles | Doors plus handles | Handles can add more clearance needs |
Correct dimensions help prevent poor airflow (which can cause warm temperatures), door interference, and installation headaches. The manual also emphasizes choosing a proper location near a grounded outlet and allowing adequate air circulation.
