Kenmore 25351692100 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 32 to 36 inches wide; for your Kenmore 25351692100, the exact cabinet width is listed in the specifications/dimensions section of the 25351692100 owner's manual.

Typical widths you will see (and what to plan for)

When you are measuring for a replacement or a tight kitchen opening, we recommend planning around these common side-by-side sizes:

• Standard width: 33 inches or 36 inches (most common)
• Narrow width: about 32 inches (less common)
• Counter-depth models: often 32 to 36 inches wide, but shallower front-to-back
• Door swing clearance: you may need extra space beyond cabinet width
• Leveling clearance: allow room to adjust front rollers and keep doors sealing correctly

Measure it the right way

Use this quick process so your measurement matches how refrigerators are sized.

1. Measure cabinet width across the main box (not the doors or handles).
2. Measure overall width at the widest point (often the doors).
3. If you have handles, measure handle-to-handle.
4. Confirm you have enough room for the doors to open fully.

Quick measurement checklist

What you measure	What it tells you	Why it matters
Cabinet width	True “fit in the opening” size	Prevents binding against cabinets
Door/hinge width	Real-world widest point	Avoids rubbing and dents
Handle-to-handle	Maximum overall width	Ensures clearance in tight installs

Installation clearance guidance (important)

Your 25351692100 Use & Care Guide calls out clearances for airflow and installation:

• Sides and top: 3/8 inch
• Back: 1 inch
• If the hinge side is against a wall, allow additional space so the door can open wider

Why it matters

Width is only part of “will it fit.” Door swing, leveling, and airflow clearances affect temperature stability, ice maker performance, and whether the door gaskets seal.

If you are ordering fit-related replacement parts (like a door bin or gasket), you can also shop by model on this page or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25351692100, the model number is printed on the serial plate located inside the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment. Open the refrigerator door and look along the interior walls for the rating label; it lists both the model and serial numbers.

Where to look (fast checklist)

• Open the refrigerator (not freezer) door
• Check the inside side walls of the fresh food compartment
• Look near the upper right area first (many labels are placed high and forward)
• If you do not see it, check lower side walls and near the crisper area
• Wipe the label gently if it is dusty; use only mild soap and water as noted in the owner's manual

What you should see on the serial plate

The serial plate typically includes these fields, which help us match the correct Kenmore parts list and diagrams:

Label item	What it’s used for	Example for this unit
Model number	Identifies the exact refrigerator design	25351692100
Serial number	Identifies production run details	Varies by unit
Electrical ratings	Confirms power requirements	Varies by unit

Why it matters

Using the exact model number from the serial plate prevents ordering the wrong refrigerator water filter, door gasket, ice maker parts, or dispenser components. Even small model-number differences can change shelves, bins, wiring harnesses, and control parts.

Ordering the right parts once you find it

• Match the model number exactly: 25351692100
• Use the parts list for this model to choose the correct replacement
• Common items customers replace include the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB and door gaskets
• If you are searching beyond this model page, use the model number at Sears PartsDirect

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25351692100 are cooling issues, water leaks, ice maker or dispenser trouble, and unusual noises. These usually trace back to airflow restrictions (dirty coils, iced-up evaporator), defrost system faults, worn door seals, or water filtration and supply problems; use the owner's manual for model-specific operating and care steps.

Most common symptoms and what typically causes them

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan not moving air, frost buildup from a defrost problem
• Water leaking or puddles: clogged/iced defrost drain, loose water line connections, door not sealing
• Ice maker not making ice: restricted water flow (filter or supply), frozen fill path, ice maker mold issues
• Ice dispenser jammed: cubes clumping from infrequent use; the manual warns not to use sharp tools to break ice
• Buzzing, rattling, or clicking: fan blade hitting ice, items vibrating on shelves, compressor start components cycling

Quick checks we recommend first (safe, high-impact)

• Set controls to normal settings and allow 24 hours for temperature stabilization after changes.
• Clean condenser coils and confirm the unit has good airflow around it (adequate ventilation matters for cooling performance).
• Check door closure: look for gaps, torn gasket areas, or doors that do not self-close.
• If the dispenser is jammed, remove the bin and shake to loosen cubes; do not chip ice with sharp objects.
• If water flow is slow, replace the filter and flush several glasses of water afterward.

Parts that commonly solve these problems on this model

Problem area	Common fix	Example part on this page
Poor water flow, bad-tasting water, ice maker feed issues	Replace water filter	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB
Frost buildup, warm freezer, intermittent cooling	Defrost system service	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214
Warm temps, weak airflow, fan noise	Inspect fan blade and clear ice	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010
Doors not sealing, moisture, frost near door	Replace door gasket	Refrigerator gasket 241786014

Why it matters

Most “big” refrigerator complaints are really airflow and sealing problems. When airflow is blocked or a gasket leaks, temperatures swing, frost builds up, and the ice maker and dispenser start acting up. Fixing the root cause protects food, reduces strain on the compressor, and helps the refrigerator run more efficiently.

On Kenmore refrigerator model 25351692100, the ER IF code points to a problem with the ice maker fan (ice fan) circuit, most often caused by frost or ice buildup restricting airflow, a fan issue, or a wiring/control problem. Start by clearing ice buildup and confirming the fan can run normally (see the 25351692100 owner's manual).

What to check first (fast, no-parts steps)

• Power reset: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Check for ice blockage: remove the ice bin and look for frost/ice around the ice room and air passages.
• Confirm the freezer door closes tightly and the gasket seals all the way around.
• Make sure vents are not blocked by packages in the freezer.
• If the fan area is packed with frost, do a controlled manual defrost (doors open, towels down) until airflow paths are clear.

When ER IF keeps coming back

If the code returns after clearing ice, we focus on the ice fan system and related airflow/defrost items.

Common causes and likely fixes

What you notice	Most likely cause	What we do next
Ice maker area frosts up repeatedly	Air leak or moisture intrusion	Inspect/adjust door seal; check for gaps and warm air entry
No airflow near ice room; fan silent	Fan blade obstructed or damaged	Inspect and replace the refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 if cracked/loose
Heavy frost patterns return quickly	Defrost control issue	Test defrost components; replace the refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214 if it fails continuity when cold
Ice clumps and dispenser jams	Ice not used often or bin issues	Empty bin, shake loose cubes; avoid sharp tools (per manual guidance)

Why it matters

The ice fan moves cold air to keep the ice maker compartment at the right temperature. When airflow is restricted, the ice maker performance drops, frost builds faster, and the refrigerator can cycle inefficiently.

For Kenmore model 25351692100, the most accurate way to get cubic feet (total capacity) is to read the serial and rating plate inside the fresh food compartment; that plate lists the official specifications for your exact refrigerator. We also show model documentation in the 25351692100 owner's manual.

Where to find the capacity on your refrigerator

Look for the serial and rating plate inside the refrigerator compartment (fresh food section). On this model family, it is typically on an interior wall.

• Open the refrigerator door and look along the side walls near the crisper area
• Check near the top right interior corner if your unit has a front water filter housing
• Wipe the plate gently with soap and water only so the text stays readable
• Record the model number and serial number for future parts lookup and service

Quick ways to estimate cubic feet (when you need a ballpark)

If you cannot read the plate right away, we use these practical checks to estimate capacity for a side-by-side refrigerator like the Kenmore 25351692100.

• Measure the cabinet width; most side-by-sides are about 32 to 36 inches wide
• Check the depth; most are about 30 to 35 inches deep (not counting handles)
• Compare to common capacity ranges; many side-by-sides fall around 20 to 26 cu. ft.
• Confirm the exact number later using the rating plate or the manual specs

Method	Accuracy	What you need
Rating/serial plate inside fridge	Highest	Flashlight, quick visual check
Specifications in the manual	High	25351692100 owner's manual
Size-based estimate (width/depth)	Medium	Tape measure

Why it matters

Cubic feet affects how much food you can store, but it also helps when you are comparing replacement shelves, door bins, and storage parts. For example, if you are refreshing filtration and dispenser performance, matching the correct filter matters; this model page lists the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB.

Ordering parts by model number

Once you confirm the model and serial information from the inside plate, you can order replacement parts from the parts list for 25351692100, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
