Kenmore 25370602415 refrigerator Parts

To tell what Kenmore refrigerator model you have, we look for the model and serial tag on the cabinet (not on removable drawers or shelves). On Kenmore model 25370602415, the tag is typically inside the fresh food compartment or near the lower front behind the toe grille; confirm the exact location in the 25370602415 owner's manual.

Where to look for the model tag

Check these common spots first (use a flashlight and look on the cabinet walls):

• Inside the refrigerator section on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment
• Behind or beside the crisper drawers (on the cabinet liner)
• Behind the toe grille (kick plate) at the lower front
• On the back exterior panel near the power cord area

How to read the number once you find it

Write down the full model number exactly as shown (all digits). For Kenmore refrigerators, the model number is usually a long numeric string.

• Use the full model number to match parts and diagrams
• Use the serial number to identify production details when ordering certain assemblies
• If the tag is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in to capture every digit

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators often share similar styling across different models, but parts like door gaskets, shelves, and ice maker components can vary by model. Using the exact model number helps ensure you get the right replacement part the first time.

Related parts you might match by model

Once you confirm your model number, common model-matched items for 25370602415 include:

• Refrigerator ice maker 241798231 (if your unit is equipped)
• Frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (white) 242193206 (color must match)
• Frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (black) 242193212 (color must match)

Most Kenmore top-mount refrigerators like model 25370602415 typically last 12 to 15 years. Keeping the cabinet level, maintaining good airflow around the unit, and keeping door seals tight helps the refrigerator and freezer hold temperature with less wear.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

A refrigerator’s life is mostly driven by compressor run time, heat removal, and how well the doors seal.

• Ventilation and clearance: allow airflow so the condenser can shed heat
• Door seal condition: prevents warm, moist air from entering and creating frost
• Leveling and door alignment: helps doors close fully and seal consistently
• Room temperature: extreme ambient temps make the unit work harder
• Cleaning and upkeep: dust and debris increase operating temperatures

Quick checks that help it last longer

Use these practical checks during routine cleaning or after moving the refrigerator:

• Keep the toe grille unblocked for proper air circulation.
• Confirm the cabinet is solid on all four corners.
• Level the refrigerator so it tilts about 1/4 inch (up to 1/2 inch) front-to-back to help doors close.
• Recheck that door seals contact the cabinet on all sides.
• Avoid placing the refrigerator in areas below 55°F or above 110°F.

For the model-specific leveling and clearance guidance, follow the installation guide.

What “normal” looks like (at a glance)

Item	Good target	Why it matters
Expected service life	12 to 15 years	Typical range for household refrigerators
Side and top clearance	3/8 inch	Helps airflow and easier installation
Rear clearance	1 inch	Reduces heat buildup behind the unit
Cabinet tilt	1/4 to 1/2 inch front-to-back	Improves door closing and sealing

Why it matters

When airflow is restricted or doors do not seal, the compressor and fans run longer to maintain freezer and fresh food temperatures. That extra run time is the main reason refrigerators wear out sooner.

Cooling and ice-making issues are the most common problems we see with the Kenmore 25370602415 top-mount refrigerator. Typical causes include restricted airflow (dirty condenser area or blocked toe grille), frost buildup from a defrost problem, door sealing issues, and water leaks from a clogged defrost drain or loose water connections. For model-specific setup checks, use the installation guide.

Most common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Refrigerator or freezer not cold enough: blocked airflow, condenser fan issue, defrost system problem, or temperature sensor/control issue
• Frost or ice buildup in the freezer: defrost heater or defrost control problem, or warm air leaking past the door gasket
• Loud humming, rattling, or buzzing: fan blade interference, condenser fan wear, or the unit not level and vibrating
• Water under the refrigerator or inside the fresh food section: clogged defrost drain, water line connection seepage, or ice maker fill issues
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply problem, ice maker switched off, or ice maker failure

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

• Confirm the toe grille is not blocked; proper air circulation is essential.
• Verify the refrigerator is level and tilted about 1/4 inch front-to-back so doors close and seal properly.
• If you are not connecting a water supply, make sure the ice maker power switch is OFF.
• If you are connecting water, confirm 30 to 100 psi supply pressure and recheck for leaks after 24 hours.
• Make sure door seals close fully on all sides (a poor seal drives frost and temperature swings).

Common parts that solve these problems

Symptom	Common fix	Example part for this model
Frost buildup, warm temps	Restore defrost heat	Refrigerator defrost heater 242044008
Warm temps, noisy rear/bottom area	Inspect fan blade for damage or rubbing	Condenser fan blade 241639502
Ice maker not working	Replace ice maker assembly	Refrigerator ice maker 241798231
Door not sealing, frost near door	Replace door gasket (match color)	Refrigerator door gasket (white) 242193206

Why it matters

A top-mount refrigerator depends on steady airflow and a working defrost system to move cold air from the freezer into the fresh food section. When airflow is blocked, the unit is not leveled correctly, or the door gasket leaks, temperatures rise, frost builds, and the compressor and fans run longer than they should.

On a Kenmore 25370602415 top-mount refrigerator, the top compartment is the freezer compartment (often just called the freezer). It’s the section designed to keep food frozen and, on some setups, it can also support an automatic ice maker.

What the freezer compartment does

• Maintains below-freezing temperatures for long-term food storage
• Helps chill the fresh food section by supporting overall cooling performance
• Often houses key airflow paths and vents that balance temperatures
• May include an ice maker location (if your model is equipped or you add one)

Common names you’ll see

What people call it	What it usually means	Where it is on this model style
Freezer	Freezer compartment	Top section
Top compartment	Freezer compartment	Top section
Freezer box	Freezer liner/compartment	Top section

If you’re asking because of ice maker questions

Many top-mount refrigerators can be set up with an ice maker. If you’re troubleshooting ice production or planning a replacement, match the part to your model and configuration; the refrigerator ice maker 241798231 is one common replacement part listed for this model.

• Confirm the ice maker is turned ON (if equipped)
• Verify the household water supply is connected and not leaking
• Use copper tubing and proper shut-off valve practices during installation
• Allow time after power interruptions for the compressor to restart

Why it matters

Knowing the correct compartment name helps when you’re following temperature-control instructions, ordering parts (like door bins, gaskets, or an ice maker), or using setup steps in the installation guide.
