KitchenAid KSCS25INWH00 counter depth side-by-side refrigerator Parts

The KitchenAid KSCS25INWH00 is a counter-depth side-by-side refrigerator that fits a 36 in (91.5 cm) wide opening. Installation height depends on your cabinet style and leveling legs; for a 25 cu ft built-in opening, plan on about 72 in (182.9 cm) tall (standard cabinet). See the KSCS25INWH00 installation guide for the exact opening and swing clearances.

Key dimensions to plan for

Use these as your starting point when measuring your cutout and door clearance:

• Opening width: 36 in (91.5 cm)
• Opening height (standard cabinet, 25 model): 72 in (182.9 cm)
• Opening height (full-overlay cabinet, 25 model): 72 1/8 in (183.2 cm)
• Door swing: allow doors to open to at least 150°
• Side-wall clearance: minimum 13 1/4 in on freezer side and 16 1/2 in on refrigerator side (for door swing)

Quick sizing table (from the installation specs)

These are the cabinet opening heights called out for the 25-size built-in configuration.

Measurement	Standard cabinet	Full-overlay cabinet
Opening height for 25 model	72 in (182.9 cm)	72 1/8 in (183.2 cm)

Leveling legs and why your height can change

The published height dimensions assume the leveling legs are set near the minimum extension. If you extend the leveling legs fully (up to 1 1/4 in below the refrigerator), add 1 1/8 in (29 mm) to the height you need.

• Measure floor-to-cabinet opening height in multiple spots
• Check for flooring transitions (tile to wood, etc.)
• Plan extra clearance if you need to raise the unit for leveling

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents door interference, protects the door hinges and cams, and helps the refrigerator seal properly so temperatures stay stable and the ice maker and water dispenser work reliably.

For the KitchenAid KSCS25INWH00 (a counter depth side-by-side often sold under the Superba name), capacity is typically about 25 cubic feet total. For the exact listed capacity for your specific configuration, confirm it in the KSCS25INWH00 owner's manual.

How to confirm the exact capacity on your refrigerator

Capacity can vary slightly by revision and how the manufacturer reports “total” versus “usable” space. We recommend checking:

• The specifications section in the KSCS25INWH00 owner's manual
• The model and serial tag inside the fresh food compartment (then match it to the manual)
• Any product literature that came with the refrigerator
• Whether your unit is counter depth (shallower cabinet) versus standard depth

Typical capacity ranges (what most owners see)

Most counter depth side-by-side refrigerators in this KitchenAid class land in a narrow range.

Refrigerator style	Typical total capacity	Notes
Counter depth side-by-side	23 to 26 cu. ft.	Shallower cabinet, similar height/width
Standard depth side-by-side	25 to 29 cu. ft.	Deeper cabinet, more storage volume

Why it matters

Knowing cubic feet helps us size the right replacement parts and maintenance items (like a refrigerator water filter), and it also helps when comparing storage space between models or planning kitchen fit and airflow clearances.

Related maintenance tip

If you are tracking performance or taste/odor issues, replacing the water filter on schedule helps keep dispenser flow and water quality consistent. The KSCS25INWH00 commonly uses the refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.

For the KitchenAid KSCS25INWH00 counter depth side-by-side refrigerator, the most common service issues are ice maker and dispenser problems and cooling complaints (warm temperatures, frost buildup, or leaks). These symptoms usually trace back to airflow restrictions, defrost system trouble, or water supply and filtration issues; see the KSCS25INWH00 owner's manual for model-specific operating and care details.

Most common symptoms we see

• Ice maker stops making ice or makes small/hollow cubes
• Water dispenser flow is slow or sputters
• Refrigerator section warms up while freezer seems OK
• Frost buildup on the freezer back wall
• Noisy operation (fan-related) or intermittent cooling

Quick checks that solve many “common problems”

1. Confirm temperatures: Set the refrigerator to about 37°F and the freezer to about 0°F; allow 24 hours to stabilize.
2. Check airflow: Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Clean condenser area: Dust buildup reduces heat removal and can cause warm temps and longer run times.
4. Inspect the water filter: A clogged filter can reduce water flow and affect ice production; replace the refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 on schedule.
5. Look for defrost clues: Heavy frost on the freezer back panel often points to a defrost problem; a common component in that circuit is the refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581.

Common causes and what they typically affect

Issue area	What you notice	Often related parts/systems
Water supply/filtration	Slow water, small cubes	Filter, inlet valve, water tube
Airflow in freezer	Warm fridge, frost, noise	Evaporator fan, air diffuser/damper
Defrost system	Frost blanket, poor cooling	Defrost thermostat (bi-metal), heater, control
Sealed system	Gradual loss of cooling	Compressor, evaporator, condenser

Why it matters

Ice maker and cooling problems usually get worse over time. Catching them early helps protect food, reduces strain on the compressor, and can prevent secondary issues like leaks from ice buildup or restricted airflow.

A KitchenAid KSCS25INWH00 can stop cooling when airflow or heat removal is restricted (dirty condenser area), a control setting turns cooling off, or a key cooling component (fans, defrost system, or sealed system) is failing. Start with the quick checks in the KSCS25INWH00 owner's manual.

Most common causes to check first

• Cooling turned off: Make sure the control is not set to Off; press COOLING ON/OFF to turn cooling on.
• Power issue: Confirm the cord is plugged in; check the house fuse or circuit breaker.
• Temperature settings: Verify set points are reasonable (factory recommendation is 0°F freezer and 37°F refrigerator).
• Dirty condenser area: Dust and pet hair reduce heat transfer and can cause warm temperatures.
• Door not sealing: A door left ajar or a weak gasket lets warm air in and forces long run times.

Quick diagnostic checklist (10 to 20 minutes)

1. Confirm the display is on and cooling is enabled.
2. Check set points; do not expect instant results after changes (cooling takes time).
3. Listen for the evaporator fan in the freezer; no fan sound can mean an airflow problem.
4. Look for heavy frost on the freezer back panel; that points to a defrost problem.
5. Clean the condenser area and ensure vents inside are not blocked by food packages.

What the symptoms usually mean

Symptom	Most likely area	What to do next
Fridge and freezer both warm	Power, controls, sealed system	Verify cooling on, power, then consider compressor/inverter service
Freezer cold, fridge warm	Airflow/damper issue	Check for blocked vents; inspect air diffuser
Frost buildup, weak cooling	Defrost system	Check defrost components such as the refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581
No ice and no water	Water supply/valve	Check supply line and consider the refrigerator inlet valve W10247725

Why it matters

A refrigerator removes heat continuously; when airflow is blocked or a fan/defrost component fails, temperatures rise and food safety is affected. Using the recommended set points and keeping the condenser area clean helps the KSCS25INWH00 cool efficiently.
