Kenmore 25374812400 refrigerator Parts

The Kenmore 25374812400 is a top-mount refrigerator (not an upright freezer), and the cubic-foot capacity is model-specific. For the exact freezer and total capacity for this model, we use the specifications listed in the 25374812400 owner's manual.

What to check to get the right capacity number

Capacity can be listed as total refrigerator capacity and sometimes broken out by freezer vs fresh-food sections. Look for these items:

• Total capacity (cu. ft.)
• Freezer capacity (cu. ft.)
• Refrigerator (fresh-food) capacity (cu. ft.)
• Any notes about usable vs overall volume
• The model and serial label match to 25374812400

Quick reality check (to avoid mixing up models)

The “253” prefix is used across multiple Kenmore refrigeration products, including different sizes and configurations. A capacity listed for a different 253.xxxxxx model (especially an upright freezer) will not match a top-mount refrigerator.

Appliance type	Where capacity is usually listed	Common mix-up
Top-mount refrigerator	Specs section of the manual	Using an upright freezer listing
Upright freezer	Product listing or rating label	Assuming all “253” models share capacity

Why it matters

Using the correct cubic-foot rating helps when comparing replacement refrigerators, planning food storage, and confirming whether performance issues are related to loading and airflow (overpacking can restrict circulation).

If you are troubleshooting cooling while you check specs, the manual also covers control settings and recommends allowing 8 to 12 hours of cool-down time before loading food.

Kenmore is a brand name, and model 25374812400 is part of Kenmore’s 253 model prefix family, which is widely associated with Frigidaire/Electrolux-built refrigerators. You can confirm the exact model and serial details on the rating plate inside the fresh food compartment and in the 25374812400 owner's manual.

How to confirm the manufacturer on your exact unit

We recommend verifying using the model and serial information from the refrigerator’s serial plate (typically inside the refrigerator compartment).

• Open the fresh food door and look along the interior side walls or ceiling area for the serial plate
• Match the model number (25374812400) and your serial number exactly
• Record the purchase date and serial number for parts lookup and service
• Use the manual’s identification section to cross-check where the information is listed
• If you are ordering parts, match by model number first, then confirm by part description

Why the “253” prefix matters

Kenmore model numbers often use a prefix that points to the original manufacturer family. For 253xxxx, the parts ecosystem commonly aligns with Frigidaire-style components (for example, ice maker and door shelf rail designs).

What you’re checking	Where to find it	Why it helps
Model number	Serial plate inside refrigerator compartment	Confirms the correct parts list for 25374812400
Serial number	Same serial plate	Helps identify production details for service
Parts style match	Compare to known components	Helps avoid ordering the wrong revision

Parts examples that commonly align with this model family

If you are troubleshooting or replacing common items, these examples reflect the type of parts frequently used on this platform:

• Ice maker 5304458371 for no-ice or intermittent ice production
• Galaxy refrigerator door shelf rail 240331401 if a door bin rail is cracked or missing
• Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202 if you see frost buildup and warm temperatures

Why it matters

Knowing who built the platform behind Kenmore model 25374812400 helps you match the correct refrigerator parts, service procedures, and troubleshooting steps (especially for ice maker, defrost, and door hardware issues).

In a Kenmore top-mount refrigerator like model 25374812400, the upper section is typically the freezer compartment. It’s the colder area designed to keep foods frozen and, on some models, it also supports an automatic ice maker.

What you’ll usually find in the upper (freezer) compartment

Common freezer-area components and features include:

• Freezer shelves or door bins for frozen food storage
• Cold air circulation paths (vents) that help freeze food evenly
• An automatic ice maker (on some models)
• A freezer light bulb and light shield (on some models)
• The temperature control system that cycles cooling on and off

For model-specific feature details and storage guidance, use the 25374812400 owner's manual.

Freezer vs. refrigerator section (quick comparison)

Section	Typical purpose	Typical temperature range
Freezer (upper on top-mount models)	Long-term frozen storage, ice making	About 0°F
Fresh food (lower)	Short-term refrigerated storage	About 37°F to 40°F

Why it matters

Knowing that the upper section is the freezer helps when you’re troubleshooting cooling issues (for example, frozen food softening) or diagnosing ice maker symptoms. The manual also recommends leaving space between packages so cold air can circulate and food freezes quickly.
