Kenmore 25371132103 top-mount refrigerator Parts

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.

How to find the cubic feet for model 25371132103

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).

Quick comparison: upright freezer vs. top-mount refrigerator capacity

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.

Why it matters

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.

Kenmore is a brand name, and model 25371132103 is part of Kenmore’s 253 model series, which is commonly associated with Frigidaire/Electrolux-built refrigerators. For the most reliable confirmation, we recommend matching the model and serial information shown on the unit’s serial plate with the details in the 25371132103 owner's manual.

How to confirm the manufacturer on your specific unit

Use these quick checks on your Kenmore 25371132103 top-mount refrigerator:

• Look inside the fresh food compartment for the serial plate (the manual notes it is located inside the refrigerator compartment).
• Confirm the full model number is 25371132103 (not a similar 253-prefix model).
• Record the serial number; it can help identify the production run.
• Compare the model and serial information to the identification details referenced in the 25371132103 owner's manual.
• If you are ordering parts, match by model number first, then confirm the part fits your exact configuration.

Why the “253” prefix matters

Kenmore model numbers often use a prefix that points to the original manufacturer.

What you see	What it usually indicates	Why it helps
253-prefix Kenmore model	Commonly Frigidaire/Electrolux-built	Improves accuracy when cross-checking parts and service info
Different prefix (varies)	Different manufacturer	Parts and procedures can differ significantly

Why it matters

Knowing who built the refrigerator helps you choose the right replacement parts (like a door gasket, evaporator fan blade, or defrost thermostat) and follow the correct troubleshooting steps for cooling, frost buildup, and ice maker issues.

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.

How a top-mount layout is organized

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)

What to expect for installation and clearance

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.

Why it matters

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.

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.

Dimensions to use for planning

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

Quick fit checklist (before you buy or move it)

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).

Common measurement notes

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

Why it matters

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.
