Kenmore 25357672791 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator widths vary by model; most full-size units are about 35 to 36 inches wide. For Kenmore model 25357672791, use a tape measure to confirm the cabinet width and the overall width with handles so you plan the correct opening and door-swing clearance.

Typical width you will see on Kenmore side-by-sides

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators fall into these common ranges:

• 32 to 33 inches: space-saving models
• 35 to 36 inches: most standard-capacity side-by-sides
• 36+ inches: larger-capacity designs

How to measure width the right way

Measure in the spot where the refrigerator will sit:

• Cabinet width: the main box, not including handles
• Overall width: doors plus handles (often the tight-fit number)
• Opening width: measure top, middle, and bottom of the cutout
• Clearance: leave room on the hinge side for full door swing
• Service space: allow a little extra so the unit can slide out for repairs

Quick reference table

What to measure	Includes	Use it for
Cabinet width	Refrigerator body only	Basic fit in the cutout
Overall width	Doors and handles	Tight openings, trim, and panels
Door-swing clearance	Space beside the unit	Drawer and bin access

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is “wide enough” can still be a problem if handles hit cabinets or doors cannot open far enough to pull out bins. If you are also servicing the dispenser area while checking fit, follow the steps in how to disassemble a Kenmore refrigerator dispenser to access components safely.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25357672791 are cooling issues, water leaks, ice maker and dispenser failures, and unusual noises. These usually trace back to airflow problems (dirty coils or a failed fan), defrost drain clogs, worn door seals, or a failing ice maker component.

Most common symptoms and what they usually mean

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: restricted airflow, dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan problem, or defrost system trouble
• Water under the fridge or inside the fresh food section: clogged defrost drain or drain tube issue
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, frozen fill path, or ice maker assembly failure
• Noisy operation (buzzing, rattling, grinding): fan blade rubbing ice, worn fan motor, or loose panels
• Frost buildup in the freezer: door not sealing, frequent door openings, or defrost problem

Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts

1. Confirm temperatures: set freezer near 0°F and fresh food near 37°F.
2. Check airflow: make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
3. Inspect the door seal: look for gaps, tears, or areas that do not grip paper when the door is closed.
4. Look for ice buildup on the freezer back wall (often points to a defrost or airflow issue).
5. Check for slow water flow at the dispenser; a clogged filter is a common cause.

Parts that commonly solve these problems on model 25357672791

Problem area	Common fix	Example part on this model page
Poor water flow, bad-tasting water, ice maker issues	Replace water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WFCB
Warm freezer or fresh food, noise from freezer	Inspect fan blade for damage or rubbing	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010
Water leaks from defrost system	Clear drain and inspect drain tube	Refrigerator drain tube 241957901
Ice maker not producing	Replace ice maker assembly (after water checks)	Refrigerator ice maker assembly IM116000
Frost and moisture around doors	Replace worn gasket	Refrigerator freezer door gasket 215734313

Why it matters

Cooling, leaking, and ice maker problems often get worse when airflow is restricted or seals leak. Fixing the root cause protects food temperatures, reduces frost buildup, and prevents water damage.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators like model 25357672791, the model number is printed on the appliance identification label. You will usually find that label inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall, near the top, or around the door opening.

Common places to check first

Look for a white or silver sticker or plate that lists MODEL and SERIAL.

• Inside the refrigerator section on the left or right interior wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light
• On the frame around the refrigerator door opening (door jamb area)
• Behind the crisper drawers on the side wall (less common)
• On the back exterior panel near the bottom (backup location)

What the label looks like (and what to write down)

The label typically includes both a model number and a serial number. For parts lookup and diagrams, the model number is the key.

Item on label	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Finding correct parts and diagrams	25357672791
Serial number	Identifying production run and date info	Letters and numbers

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers can look similar across different refrigerator designs. Using the exact model number (for example, 25357672791) helps us match the correct parts list for items like the ice maker, door gasket, and water filter.

Next step once you find it

After you locate the model number, use it to choose parts that fit your exact refrigerator configuration. A common maintenance item for this model is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WFCB.

If your Kenmore 25357672791 side-by-side refrigerator stopped cooling, the most common causes are restricted airflow (dirty coils or a failed evaporator fan), a defrost problem causing ice buildup, or a compressor start issue. Start with airflow checks before moving to sealed-system parts.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the controls were not bumped warmer; set fresh food to about 37°F and freezer to about 0°F.
• Make sure both doors fully close and the gaskets seal all the way around.
• Listen for the evaporator fan in the freezer; it should run when the compressor is running.
• Check for heavy frost on the freezer back wall (a defrost failure clue).
• Clean condenser coils and make sure the unit has a few inches of clearance for ventilation.

What the symptoms usually mean

What you notice	Most likely cause	What to do next
Freezer cold, fridge warm	Airflow blockage or evaporator fan issue	Check vents, then inspect fan and frost buildup
Both sections warm, lights on	Compressor not starting or not running	Check for clicking, overheating, or intermittent running
Heavy frost on freezer panel	Defrost system problem	Check for ice blocking airflow; defrost components may be needed
Fan noise missing in freezer	Evaporator fan not running	Inspect fan blade and motor area for ice or obstruction

Parts that commonly relate to “not cooling”

If airflow is weak or you hear rubbing or rattling in the freezer fan area, these parts are often involved:

• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 (broken or slipping blade reduces airflow)
• Refrigerator thermostat 5303917954 (temperature control issues can affect run time)
• Refrigerator compressor overload protector 5303308603 (a failed overload can stop the compressor)

Why it matters

A refrigerator cools by moving heat out of the cabinet. When airflow is restricted (fan issue, frost buildup, blocked vents) the freezer may struggle first, and the fresh food section often warms quickly because it depends on cold air delivered from the freezer.

When to stop and get service

If the compressor is extremely hot, repeatedly clicks, or the refrigerator never cools even after airflow and frost issues are addressed, sealed-system or compressor problems are likely. Those repairs require specialized tools and training.
