Examples from the parts list for this model

What you need	Example part on this model	When it’s typically needed
Water filtration	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB	Low flow, bad taste/odor, filter reminder
Freezer door sealing	Refrigerator freezer gasket 241786014	Frost, sweating, door not sealing
Defrost protection	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214	Heavy frost, warm fridge/freezer
Ice storage	Ice container 241860803	Cracked bin, dispenser jams

How we recommend you confirm you are buying the right part

Even within the Kenmore 253 series, small revisions can change fit.

• Find the full model number on the refrigerator’s ID tag and match it exactly to 25356963600
• Use the exploded view and part descriptions to match shape, mounting points, and finish
• For water filters, confirm whether your unit uses a rear filter and the release button style
• For gaskets, confirm which door (fresh food vs freezer) and the gasket color
• For ice maker issues, check for ice clumping and bin jams before replacing parts

Why it matters

Using the correct model-matched part helps prevent leaks, poor cooling, dispenser jams, and repeat repairs. For example, the manual notes the refrigerator’s ice and water filter system has specific operating limits (pressure, temperature, and flow), so the correct filter and installation steps protect both water quality and dispenser performance.

Ordering options

We recommend ordering directly from the parts list for model 25356963600 so you get the right fit. If you need to search beyond the most common items, you can also look up parts by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25356963600 are warm temperatures from airflow or defrost issues, water leaks from drain or seal problems, ice maker and dispenser troubles, and unusual noises from fans. Many fixes start with cleaning, checking door seals, and verifying temperature settings in the 25356963600 owner's manual.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or too warm: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan problems, or a defrost cycle issue that lets frost build up and block airflow.
• Runs too long: doors opened often, dirty condenser, or worn door gaskets letting warm air in.
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged defrost drain, loose water line connections, or a door gasket not sealing.
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issues, frozen fill path, or ice maker component wear.
• Ice dispenser jams: ice clumps when the dispenser is not used often; shaking the ice bin to loosen cubes is a common fix.

Quick checks we recommend first (before replacing parts)

1. Confirm temperatures: set the freezer and refrigerator controls correctly; allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize after changes.
2. Clean the condenser: a dirty condenser is a common cause of warm temps and long run times.
3. Inspect door gaskets: look for gaps, tears, or areas that do not grip a dollar bill evenly.
4. Listen for fan noise changes: clicking, grinding, or intermittent airflow points to an evaporator fan issue.
5. Check the ice bin: if cubes are fused together, remove the bin and shake it loose (do not use sharp tools).

Parts that commonly solve these problems on 25356963600

Problem area	What fails most often	Example part for this model
Water taste/flow, ice quality	Clogged water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB
Frost buildup, warm temps	Defrost thermostat issues	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214
Poor door seal, sweating, leaks	Worn gasket	Refrigerator freezer gasket 241786014
Dim or out interior light	Burned-out bulb	Refrigerator light bulb 316538904

Why it matters

These symptoms usually trace back to airflow, sealing, or water supply. Fixing the root cause protects food temperatures, reduces compressor run time, and prevents repeat issues like ice clumping or recurring puddles.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25356963600, the model number is printed on the serial plate located inside the refrigerator compartment (fresh food section). Use the model number exactly as shown on that plate when matching parts and diagrams; see the 25356963600 owner's manual.

Where to check on model 25356963600

Start with the fresh food compartment and look for the serial plate on the cabinet liner:

• On an inside side wall of the refrigerator compartment
• On the frame just inside the door opening
• Near the upper interior area (often close to the light)
• Near the crisper area on an interior wall

What information is on the serial plate

You will typically find these identifiers together:

• Model number (the key for parts lookup)
• Serial number
• Electrical ratings (common on many data plates)

Plate item	What it looks like	What to do with it
Model number	Starts with 253 or 970	Match parts and diagrams to your exact model
Serial number	Letters and numbers	Keep for service records

Tips to read it correctly

• Use a flashlight and read straight on to reduce glare.
• Write it down exactly, including all digits.
• Clean the plate with mild soap and water only.
• Take a clear photo before ordering parts.

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers can be very similar across different refrigerator styles; using the serial plate from the fresh food compartment prevents ordering the wrong items such as a water filter or door gasket.

If your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator 25356963600 ice maker is not making ice, the usual causes are the ice maker being turned off (wire signal arm up), the freezer not cold enough, or restricted water flow from the household valve or a clogged filter. Use the 25356963600 owner's manual to verify the correct ON/OFF setup for your ice maker style.

Quick checks that fix most “no ice” problems

• Lower the wire signal arm to the down/ON position (common on side-mounted ice makers).
• Make sure the household water line valve is fully open.
• Confirm the freezer is cold enough to freeze water into cubes.
• Inspect the water line behind the refrigerator for kinks.
• If cubes are clumped and the dispenser jams, remove the bin and shake to loosen cubes (never use sharp tools).

Water flow and filter restrictions

If the water dispenser flow is slow, the ice maker often stops or makes small or hollow cubes.

• Replace a clogged filter with the correct cartridge, such as genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB.
• After replacing the filter, flush water for 3 minutes to purge air and condition the system.

What you see	Most likely cause	What to do
No ice at all	Ice maker turned off	Set arm down to ON
Small or hollow cubes	Low water flow	Replace filter; check valve
Ice clumps, dispenser jams	Infrequent use	Shake bin to break up cubes

When parts are the issue

If the freezer is cold and water flow is strong, a failed ice maker component can stop cycling or filling. Common replaceable items include the ice maker mold 241798231 and the ice container 241860803.

Why it matters

Restoring the ON setting and steady water flow typically gets ice production going within 24 hours; with no usage, it can take about 2 days to fill the ice container.
