Whirlpool ED25TEXHW00 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

The Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator model ED25TEXHW00 is typically listed at 25.3 cu. ft. total capacity, with about 9.9 cu. ft. in the freezer (and the remainder in the fresh food section). Use this as the capacity reference when shopping for bins, shelves, and storage parts.

Capacity breakdown (what the numbers mean)

Refrigerator capacity is measured as usable interior volume, split between the freezer and fresh food compartments.

• Total capacity: 25.3 cu. ft.
• Freezer capacity: 9.9 cu. ft.
• Fresh food capacity (calculated): about 15.4 cu. ft.
• Capacity is a sizing guide; shelf and bin layouts can still vary by configuration

Compartment	Capacity (cu. ft.)	What it helps with
Freezer	9.9	Ice storage, frozen food organization, ice bin sizing
Fresh food	~15.4	Shelf space planning, crisper and meat pan fit
Total	25.3	Comparing fridge sizes and overall storage

Why it matters when ordering parts

Knowing the capacity helps you match the right style of storage and ice components for your Whirlpool ED25TEXHW00.

• If you are replacing freezer storage, confirm your ice container style and size
• If you are replacing refrigerator storage, confirm drawer and shelf dimensions before ordering
• If you are troubleshooting ice production, capacity helps set expectations for typical ice storage volume

Most 24.6 cu ft refrigerators are about 35 to 36 inches wide. For your Whirlpool ED25TEXHW00 side-by-side refrigerator, the exact width depends on the specific cabinet and door design, so we recommend measuring your unit (or the installation opening) before ordering parts or planning a replacement.

Typical width ranges (what you can expect)

For a 24 to 25 cu ft side-by-side refrigerator, these are the most common real-world widths:

• 35 1/2 in. to 36 in.: most common for full-size side-by-side models
• 33 in.: less common at this capacity, but possible on some designs
• 36 in. plus clearance: needed when doors must swing fully for bin access

How to measure width the right way

Use a tape measure and check these three spots; we use the largest number.

• Cabinet width: metal box only (no handles)
• Door width: door edges at the widest point
• Handle projection: add handle depth if you need total “space required”

Quick measurement checklist

• Measure at the front and at the back of the opening (walls can be out of square).
• Measure with doors closed.
• If you are replacing the refrigerator, also measure the pathway (doorways, hallways).

Width vs. “space required”: what’s the difference?

What you’re planning	Measurement to use	Why it matters
Fit into a cabinet opening	Cabinet and door width	Prevents rubbing and vibration noise
Door swing and drawer access	Door width plus clearance	Ensures bins and meat pan can slide out
Moving the refrigerator in/out	Narrowest doorway width	Avoids damage to doors and trim

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is “36 inches wide” on paper often needs extra room for door swing, airflow, and water line routing. Getting the width right helps prevent door seal leaks, poor cooling, and installation headaches.

Parts tip for ED25TEXHW00

If you are measuring because the door is not closing smoothly, a worn closer can change how the door sits. Replacing the refrigerator door closer cam WPW10329686 often restores proper closing and alignment.

On the Whirlpool ED25TEXHW00 side-by-side refrigerator, the defrost timer is mounted in the temperature-control area on the refrigerator (fresh food) side on many builds; you access it by removing the control housing cover and then removing the timer’s mounting screws to pull it forward. Use the model parts diagram to confirm the exact mounting point before disassembly.

Where to look on ED25TEXHW00

These are the most common access points used on Whirlpool side-by-side designs that use a mechanical timer like refrigerator defrost timer W10822278:

• Inside the fresh food control console at the top (where the temperature controls and light are)
• Behind the plastic control housing cover in the fresh food section
• On a small bracket/plate attached to the control housing (often held by 2 screws)
• Less commonly, in the machine compartment area behind the lower toe grille (design-dependent)

How to access it safely

1. Unplug the refrigerator.
2. Remove items from the top shelf so you can work under the control console.
3. Remove the control housing cover screws; lower the cover carefully.
4. Identify the timer: a small rectangular module with multiple wire terminals and an advance shaft/dial.
5. Remove the mounting screws; pull the timer forward enough to disconnect the wire connector(s).

• Unplug first to prevent shock
• Take a photo of wiring before disconnecting
• Do not force plastic tabs; warm them slightly if brittle

Quick check: timer vs. other defrost parts

If you see this symptom	Common defrost suspect	Model-matched part to check
Heavy frost on freezer back wall	Defrost system not running	Refrigerator defrost timer W10822278
Defrost starts but stops too soon	Defrost thermostat issue	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581
No heat during defrost	Defrost heater issue	Refrigerator heater WP2323198

Why it matters

When the defrost timer fails to advance or switch modes, frost can build up on the evaporator and block airflow; that leads to warm refrigerator temperatures even if the freezer seems partly cold.
