Does anyone make a 30 inch side-by-side refrigerator?
Yes. Several manufacturers make 30-inch class side-by-side refrigerators, but true 30-inch wide side-by-sides are less common than 33-inch and 36-inch models. If you are comparing to Kenmore model 25352612200, confirm the exact cabinet width and required clearances in the 25352612200 owner's manual before you shop.
What “30-inch” usually means (and what to measure)
When a refrigerator is advertised as “30-inch,” the cabinet is typically close to 30 inches wide, but the doors, hinges, and handles can add extra width and swing clearance.
Measure these before buying:
- Cabinet opening width (inside the cutout)
- Refrigerator cabinet width (box only)
- Overall width with doors/hinges
- Door swing clearance so both doors open fully
- Depth (especially if you need counter-depth)
Clearances to plan for (important for fit and cooling)
For Kenmore 25352612200, the Use & Care Guide calls out installation clearances that help with airflow and hookups.
- Sides and top: 3/8 inch
- Back: 1 inch
- Space to fully open both doors (for drawers and baskets)
| Fit item | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Width | Opening vs. cabinet vs. overall | Prevents binding and rubbing |
| Door swing | Clearance in front and to the side | Ensures bins and drawers can be removed |
| Ventilation | Side/top/back clearances | Helps the compressor cool properly |
Why it matters
A “30-inch” side-by-side can fit very differently depending on hinge design and door swing. Planning for the correct clearances helps prevent poor cooling performance, noisy operation, and doors that do not seal well.

What are the most common issues with 25352612200?
The most common issues we see with the Kenmore 25352612200 side-by-side refrigerator involve cooling problems, ice maker and water dispenser troubles, and frost buildup from defrost-system failures. Many of these symptoms trace back to airflow, door sealing, or a handful of serviceable parts.
Most common symptoms and what they usually point to
- Warm refrigerator or freezer: restricted airflow, dirty condenser area, or a failed fan motor
- Frost buildup on the freezer back wall: defrost heater or defrost thermostat issue
- Ice maker not making ice: ice maker assembly problem, mold/thermostat issue, or water supply restriction
- Water tastes bad or flow is slow: clogged water filter
- Moisture, sweating, or icing around doors: worn or torn door gasket
- No interior light: burned-out light bulb
Quick checks we recommend first
- Confirm controls are set to normal cooling (not “off” or warm).
- Make sure vents inside both compartments are not blocked by food.
- Check door closure; a dollar-bill test around the gasket should feel snug.
- If you have a dispenser, replace the filter on schedule.
- If frost is heavy, unplug the refrigerator and do a full manual defrost; then watch for frost returning within a few days.
Common parts that match these issues
| Symptom | Likely part to inspect/replace | Example from this model’s parts |
|---|---|---|
| Bad taste or slow water | Water filter | Refrigerator water filter WFCB |
| Frost buildup, warm temps | Defrost thermostat or heater | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214, defrost heater 5303918255 |
| Door sweating, leaks | Door gasket | Refrigerator gasket 241786013, refrigerator freezer door gasket 241786014 |
| Ice maker not working | Ice maker assembly | Refrigerator ice maker 5304458371 |
Why it matters
Cooling, ice, and water issues often get worse quickly in a side-by-side refrigerator because airflow and defrost performance affect both compartments. Catching a weak gasket, clogged filter, or failing defrost component early helps protect food and reduces strain on the compressor.

What is the cubic foot of a side-by-side refrigerator?
Most side-by-side refrigerators are about 20 to 28 cubic feet total capacity. For Kenmore model 25352612200, the exact cubic-foot capacity is listed on the model’s rating label and in the 25352612200 owner's manual.
Typical cubic-foot ranges (what most people mean)
Side-by-side capacity varies mainly by cabinet width and depth. Here are common ranges:
- Counter-depth side-by-sides: about 20 to 23 cu. ft.
- Standard-depth side-by-sides: about 23 to 28 cu. ft.
- Larger standard-depth models can reach the upper 20s depending on design
Quick comparison table
| Refrigerator type | Typical total capacity | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Counter-depth side-by-side | 20 to 23 cu. ft. | Flush look, tighter kitchens |
| Standard-depth side-by-side | 23 to 28 cu. ft. | More storage, fewer compromises |
How to find the exact cubic feet for Kenmore 25352612200
Use these reliable checks (in order):
- Look in the specifications section of the 25352612200 owner's manual
- Check the rating label inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall)
- If you are measuring for fit, also confirm required clearances and door swing in the 25352612200 owner's manual
Why it matters
Cubic feet helps you compare storage volume, but it does not tell the whole story. Shelf layout, door bin size, and freezer basket design can make a smaller-capacity side-by-side feel more usable than a larger one.
