Kenmore 25374842406 refrigerator Parts

Your Kenmore refrigerator model 25374842406 has its exact cubic-foot capacity listed on the model and serial rating label inside the cabinet (typically on a side wall) and in the product literature. Use the rating label first because it matches your specific configuration.

• Check the model and serial rating label inside the fresh food section (most common location).
• Check the freezer compartment label area if you do not see it in the refrigerator section.
• Look for a line that says “Capacity”, “Total volume”, or “cu. ft.”
• If you have the paperwork from installation day, compare it to the specs section in the installation guide.
• If the label is damaged or missing, use the model number 25374842406 to match the correct spec sheet when shopping parts and accessories.

Cubic feet is the total internal storage volume of the refrigerator and freezer. The rating label is the best source because it reflects the exact version of your model (door style, liner, and any factory options) rather than a “family” estimate.

Most Kenmore top-mount (top freezer) refrigerators fall into a general range like this:

Knowing the cubic-foot capacity helps us match the right shelves, bins, and storage parts, and it also helps when comparing replacement items like a crisper pan or door bin for your exact layout.

Most Kenmore refrigerators, including top-mount models like 25374842406, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal household use. Regular maintenance (good airflow, tight door seals, correct leveling, and prompt part replacement) is what most often determines whether you land closer to 10 years or closer to 15.

These are practical averages we see across Kenmore refrigerators:

• 10 to 15 years: typical lifespan for most Kenmore refrigerators
• 15+ years: common when the unit is kept clean, level, and seals well
• Under 10 years: more likely when airflow is restricted, doors do not seal, or cooling issues are ignored

We recommend focusing on the items that most directly affect compressor run time and temperature stability:

• Keep installation clearances for airflow (sides/top about 3/8 inch, back about 1 inch).
• Make sure the refrigerator is level side-to-side and tilted 1/4 inch (6 mm) front-to-back so doors close consistently.
• Confirm door seals fully contact the cabinet on all sides.
• Avoid overpacking so air can circulate through the fresh food and freezer sections.
• Address cooling symptoms early (warm temps, heavy frost, unusual fan noise) before they strain the sealed system.

For the model-specific leveling and clearance targets, use the installation guide.

When these parts fail, the refrigerator often runs longer, warms up, or frosts over, which shortens overall life:

• Door sealing parts such as the refrigerator gasket 242193213
• Defrost protection parts such as the refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202
• Air movement parts such as the refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010

A refrigerator that is not level or does not seal tightly can leak cold air and run excessively. That extra run time increases wear on the compressor and fans, and it can also lead to frost buildup and temperature swings that reduce food quality.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25374842406 are poor cooling from restricted airflow, water leaks from a clogged defrost drain or loose water connections, ice maker issues, and unusual noises from fans. Many fixes start with cleaning, leveling, and checking door seals.

• Verify the refrigerator is level and tilted about 1/4 inch (6 mm) front to back so doors close reliably.
• Confirm door seals fully contact the cabinet on all sides.
• Set temperature controls, then wait 24 hours before making more adjustments.
• Make sure the toe grille is attached and the cabinet sits solidly on all corners.
• If the unit has an ice maker, confirm it is turned ON and the house water supply is connected with no leaks.

For the model-specific setup and final-check steps, follow the installation guide.

If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these are examples of parts on this model that often come up:

• Ice production issues: ice maker 5304458371 (assembly)
• Fan noise or weak airflow: refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010
• Defrost-related cooling problems: refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202
• Warm spots and moisture from air leaks: refrigerator gasket 242193213

Cooling, leaks, and ice maker complaints usually trace back to airflow and sealing. When the cabinet is level, the door seals close tightly, and air can circulate, the compressor and fans run less, temperatures stabilize, and frost and puddles are less likely.

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right; the first three digits are the manufacturer prefix, and the remaining digits identify the specific product design and feature variations. For your Kenmore refrigerator model 25374842406, the 253 prefix is the key that ties the unit to its manufacturing source and parts system; use the full model number when ordering parts or checking fit.

Most Kenmore top-mount refrigerators place the model/serial tag in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light
• Along the door frame (hinge side)
• Behind the toe grille or near the lower front frame
• On the back panel (less common for day-to-day use)

If you are installing or moving the refrigerator, keep the tag location in mind so you can confirm the model before you start leveling or door adjustments; see the clearances and setup notes in the installation guide.

Kenmore model numbers typically follow this pattern:

Using the complete model number prevents common fit issues, especially on items that vary by door style, color, or liner design.

• Door storage parts can differ by revision (bins, rack supports)
• Door seals can vary by door size and hinge layout
• Icemaker components can differ by harness and mounting style
• Interior drawers and crisper pans can change by production run

If you are replacing storage components, match by model first, then by part ID:

• Refrigerator crisper pan 240337103
• Frigidaire refrigerator door bin 240337901
• Frigidaire refrigerator door gallon bin 240338001

Kenmore used multiple manufacturers across different product lines, so the prefix and the full number are what keep you in the right parts family. For Kenmore 25374842406, entering all digits ensures you get refrigerator parts that match your exact top-mount configuration.

Yes. We still carry replacement parts for Kenmore refrigerators, including the Kenmore 25374842406 top-mount refrigerator. You can match parts by model number and replace common wear items like door bins, gaskets, light bulbs, and ice maker components.

Use your model number (25374842406) and confirm the part location on your refrigerator before ordering.

• Find the model tag inside the fresh food compartment (often on a side wall or ceiling)
• Identify whether the issue is in the freezer section, fresh food section, or door
• Compare your original part’s shape and mounting points to the replacement listing
• If a part has multiple color options (white, black, bisque, stainless), match your finish
• For installation clearances and leveling checks after a repair, follow the installation guide

These are examples of parts available for this model that often solve everyday problems:

• Refrigerator light bulb 316538904 for a dark fresh food section
• Frigidaire refrigerator door bin 240337901 or frigidaire refrigerator door gallon bin 240338001 for cracked door storage
• Refrigerator gasket 242193213 or refrigerator freezer door gasket 241872509 for warm spots, frost, or moisture around the door
• Ice maker 5304458371 or ice maker mold 241798231 for ice production issues

Using the correct Kenmore model number and the correct part ID helps ensure proper fit, correct temperature performance, and fewer repeat repairs. After replacing door or leveling-related parts, the installation checklist (door seals, level, no leaks) helps confirm the refrigerator is operating normally.
