How many cubic feet is my Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore Pro side-by-side refrigerator model 25355333604, the most accurate way to confirm cubic-foot capacity is to use the model’s specification information in the Owner's manual or on the serial plate inside the fresh food compartment; that plate is also where we recommend verifying the exact model number.
Use these quick checks (in order):
- Owner’s manual specs: Look for “capacity” or “cubic feet” in the specifications section of the Owner's manual.
- Serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment: The manual notes the serial plate is located inside the refrigerator compartment; it lists the model and serial number, and it is the best reference point for matching the correct spec sheet.
- Installation planning info: If you are confirming fit and clearances, the Installation guide is often the fastest place to verify overall size and setup requirements (capacity is sometimes listed alongside key specs).
- Compare to typical side-by-side sizes: Most side-by-side refrigerators fall in the 22 to 26 cu. ft. range; use this only as a rough expectation until you confirm the exact spec for your model.
| Source | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Serial plate (inside fresh food section) | Exact model/serial identification | Making sure you are looking up the right unit |
| Owner’s manual | Model-specific operating info and specifications | Confirming capacity and features |
| Installation guide | Setup, leveling, door removal, clearances | Fit checks and install planning |
Cubic-foot capacity affects how much food you can store, but it also helps when you are comparing replacement items and accessories (for example, matching the correct refrigerator water filter style and ensuring shelves and bins are the right fit for your exact model).

How to replace an ice maker in a side by side refrigerator?
To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore Pro side-by-side refrigerator model 25355333604, we shut off power, turn the ice maker OFF, remove the ice bin, disconnect the wiring, remove the mounting screws, then install the replacement and restore power. Follow the diagrams in the 25355333604 owner's manual for exact screw and connector locations.
- Unplug the refrigerator or switch off the circuit breaker.
- Turn ice production OFF (wire signal arm up, or On/Off switch to O on rear-mounted styles).
- Remove the ice storage bin by lifting up and out; do not use the ice chute as a handle (surfaces can be sharp).
- Keep the ice maker OFF until the refrigerator is connected to the water supply.
- Gather basic tools (Phillips screwdriver, nut driver).
- Remove the ice bin.
- Remove the ice maker cover (if present).
- Unplug the ice maker wire harness.
- Support the ice maker and remove the mounting screws.
- Transfer any bracket/stripper parts from the old unit if your replacement requires it.
- Mount the new ice maker, tighten screws, and reconnect the harness.
- Reinstall the ice bin.
- Restore power; turn the ice maker ON.
- Water supply valve is open; water pressure should be 30 to 100 psi.
- Freezer temperature is set cold enough for ice production.
- No cubes are jammed between the ice maker and the back of the bin.
| If you see | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| No ice after 24 hours | Ice maker still OFF | Turn switch/arm ON; confirm door closes fully |
| Small or hollow cubes | Restricted water flow | Replace the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB |
| Dispenser jams | Clumped ice | Empty and dry bin; shake to separate cubes |
Correct mounting and a solid water supply prevent slow ice production, hollow cubes, and dispenser jams.

What are the most common problems with Kenmore refrigerators?
The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25355333604 are cooling problems (often airflow, dirty condenser coils, or defrost trouble), water leaks, ice maker or dispenser problems, and unusual noises. Many fixes start with cleaning, checking door seals, and verifying temperature control settings in the owner's manual.
- Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan issues, defrost cycle problems, or doors being opened too often.
- Runs too long: hot room conditions, frequent door openings, dirty condenser, or a worn door gasket.
- Water leaking: a clogged defrost drain, loose water line connections, or a door not sealing.
- Ice maker not making ice: ice maker turned off, water supply issue, or ice maker component failure.
- Noisy operation: fan blade rubbing ice, failing fan motor, or items vibrating against the cabinet.
- Confirm the unit is plugged in and the controls are not set to OFF.
- Allow 8 to 12 hours for full cool-down after the refrigerator has been unplugged or moved.
- Clean the condenser coils; a dirty condenser can cause long run times and warm temps.
- Check that doors close fully and food packages are not blocking the door.
- Inspect gaskets for gaps, tears, or grime; clean and reseat as needed.
If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these are common replacements for this model:
| Problem area | Common part to check | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Poor airflow, warm fridge | Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 | Circulates cold air through compartments |
| Frost buildup, warm temps | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214 | Helps control defrost operation |
| Door not sealing, sweating | Refrigerator freezer door gasket 241786014 | Prevents warm air leaks and moisture |
| Bad taste/slow water flow | Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB | Improves water quality and flow |
Most “Kenmore refrigerator problems” trace back to airflow and sealing. When coils are dirty or a gasket leaks, the refrigerator runs longer, temperatures drift, and ice maker performance drops.

Where is the model number on a Kenmore side by side refrigerator?
On Kenmore Pro side-by-side refrigerator model 25355333604, the model number is printed on the serial plate located inside the refrigerator compartment. Open the fresh food door and look along the interior walls for the rating label.
- Inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on the serial plate
- On an interior side wall near the front opening
- Near the top section of the fresh food liner (common placement)
- Behind or beside crisper drawers (less common, but possible)
- Not on the exterior cabinet; it is typically inside for protection
The serial plate typically includes both the model and serial information. For this Kenmore Pro platform, the model number format commonly starts with 253 (as shown in the documentation).
| Item on label | What it’s used for | Example for this unit |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts and diagrams | 25355333604 (often shown as 253...) |
| Serial number | Production identification | Varies by unit |
| Purchase date (you record it) | Service and records | Your date |
We use the exact model number to match the correct parts list, diagrams, and compatible replacements (for example, the correct water filter style and door gasket design). Using the serial plate information prevents ordering the wrong Kenmore or Frigidaire-built variant.
- Write the model number exactly as printed (all digits)
- Take a clear photo of the serial plate before it gets worn or smudged
- Keep it with your owner's manual for quick reference
