How many cubic feet is a Kenmore freezer model 25370412411?
The Kenmore 25370412411 is a bottom-mount refrigerator, not an upright freezer. Capacity (cubic feet) is listed in the model’s specifications section of the 25370412411 use and care guide, which is the best place to confirm the exact total and freezer compartment volume for your unit.
Use the model documentation to locate the capacity/specs listing.
- Open the 25370412411 use and care guide
- Look for sections labeled “Specifications”, “Product dimensions”, or “Features at a glance”
- If the guide lists total capacity only, check for a separate line for freezer capacity
- If you only see dimensions, use the specs section (not the dimensions) for cubic feet
On a bottom-mount refrigerator like the Kenmore 25370412411, capacity is typically shown as:
| Capacity term | What it refers to | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Total capacity | Fresh food + freezer combined | “Total” or “Overall” capacity |
| Freezer capacity | Bottom freezer drawer space only | “Freezer” capacity |
| Fresh food capacity | Upper refrigerator section only | “Refrigerator” or “Fresh food” capacity |
Knowing the freezer cubic feet helps you compare storage space, choose the right freezer baskets and bins, and set realistic expectations for ice storage and frozen food organization.
If you are reinstalling or adjusting the freezer drawer, the 25370412411 installation guide includes steps to reinstall the drawer and check the gasket seal, which helps maintain proper freezer temperatures and usable storage space.

Who makes Kenmore refrigerator model 25370412411?
Kenmore is a brand name, and model 25370412411 is part of Kenmore’s 253 model series, which is widely associated with Frigidaire/Electrolux-built refrigerators. For model-specific operating details and identification labels, use the 25370412411 owner's manual.
We recommend checking the model and serial tag on the refrigerator because it ties your specific production run to the original manufacturer.
- Look for the model/serial label inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall) or near the crisper area
- Confirm the model number is 25370412411 (exact match)
- Note the serial number and any additional codes on the tag
- Compare the tag information to the identification section in the 25370412411 installation guide
- Use the confirmed model/serial details when ordering parts like a water filter or door gasket
Kenmore model numbers often use a prefix that indicates the manufacturing source. The 253 prefix is commonly tied to Frigidaire/Electrolux designs, which is why many parts and service procedures align with that platform.
| What you see | What it typically indicates | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Kenmore nameplate | Retail brand | Parts are still matched by model number |
| 253 model prefix | Frigidaire/Electrolux-built platform | Helps narrow down compatible components |
| Model/serial tag | Exact unit identity | Best reference for service and parts ordering |
Even when the platform is consistent, revisions happen. We recommend ordering by the exact model number and the part listing for that model.
- Water filtration: the manual references Kenmorepure water filter 046-9999; match it to the listed Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9999
- Odor control: if your unit uses a door air filter, match by part listing such as refrigerator door air filter EAFCBF
- Door sealing issues: match the correct gasket by color/fit, for example refrigerator door gasket 5304537408
Knowing who built the platform behind your Kenmore refrigerator helps you troubleshoot faster, interpret error-code resources correctly, and select the right replacement parts (filters, gaskets, sensors, and boards) the first time.

What is the bottom part of a refrigerator called?
On the Kenmore 25370412411 bottom-mount refrigerator, the “bottom part” is typically the toe grille area at the lower front and the machine compartment underneath or behind it, where major cooling parts (like the compressor and condenser fan) live and airflow enters.
Depending on what you mean by “bottom,” these are the most common terms:
- Toe grille: the vented cover at the lower front; it lets air flow for proper operation.
- Machine compartment: the enclosed area that houses cooling components.
- Base grille: another name for the toe grille on some refrigerators.
- Lower hinge area: where the door stop and hinge hardware sit (viewed from underneath).
- Drain pan area: a pan near the bottom that can collect defrost water on many designs.
The bottom section is where heat is rejected and airflow is managed. For this model, the manual specifically warns not to block the toe grille because the refrigerator needs sufficient air circulation to run correctly. Use the 25370412411 owner’s manual for the exact airflow and clearance guidance.
| Area | What it does | What you might notice when there’s a problem |
|---|---|---|
| Toe grille / base grille | Brings in air for cooling | Warm cabinet sides, longer run times |
| Machine compartment | Houses cooling system parts | Buzzing, clicking, overheating smells |
| Door hinge/stop area | Controls door swing and closing | Door won’t close, door hits cabinets |
- Keep the toe grille clear of rugs, pet hair, and dust.
- Confirm the refrigerator has the recommended installation clearances (sides/top and back) for airflow.
- If the door is not closing well, inspect the gasket seal and door alignment.
- If you see water near the front, check for spills and look for signs of a drain issue.
- If you hear a new fan noise, it can point to airflow or fan-related issues.
If your question is tied to a symptom (warm temps, odors, leaks), these parts are commonly involved:
- Refrigerator condenser fan motor 242018301 (moves air through the condenser area)
- Refrigerator compressor 5304475104 (drives the cooling cycle)
- Refrigerator door gasket 5304537408 (helps the door seal so cold air stays in)
When the “bottom part” (especially the toe grille area) is blocked, the refrigerator cannot shed heat efficiently. That leads to higher energy use, warmer temperatures, and more wear on key components.
