What size is a Kenmore freezer by model number 25323725100?
Kenmore upright freezer model 25323725100 is a full-size upright freezer; the exact capacity (cubic feet) and cabinet dimensions vary by series and are listed on the model’s rating information and in the 25323725100 owner's manual. Use the manual to match your space and storage needs before ordering parts or planning installation.
How to find the exact size for model 25323725100
Use these quick checks to get the correct “size” measurement you need:
- For storage capacity (cu. ft.): check the specifications section in the 25323725100 owner's manual.
- For exterior dimensions (height, width, depth): look for “dimensions” or “installation” notes in the 25323725100 owner's manual.
- For confirmation on the appliance: check the serial/rating plate location described in the manual (upright models typically have it on the upper left wall inside the freezer).
- For fit in a tight space: measure your opening and allow room for door swing and air circulation.
Typical upright freezer size ranges (helpful for planning)
If you are planning space before you pull the exact spec from the manual, most upright freezers like this typically fall into these ranges:
| What you mean by “size” | Typical range for upright freezers | Best place to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 14 to 21 cu. ft. | 25323725100 owner's manual |
| Width | 28 to 33 inches | 25323725100 owner's manual |
| Height | 60 to 73 inches | 25323725100 owner's manual |
| Depth | 28 to 34 inches | 25323725100 owner's manual |
Why it matters
Getting the correct size prevents common problems like a freezer that will not fit through doorways, inadequate ventilation that hurts cooling performance, or shelves and baskets that do not match your storage expectations.
If you are troubleshooting cooling performance while you are checking specs, common related parts for this model include the freezer defrost heater 216730700 and thermostat 297216600.

Is there a reset button on a Kenmore upright freezer?
Kenmore upright freezers like model 25323725100 typically do not have a single dedicated “reset” button. Most issues are cleared by restoring power (unplugging briefly) and, on electronic models, using the alarm controls (such as ALARM OFF) after temperatures return to a safe range; see the owner's manual for your exact control layout.
What you can do instead of a reset
- Power reset: Unplug the freezer for 2 to 5 minutes, then plug it back in.
- Let temperatures stabilize: After plugging in, allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize before changing settings.
- Use the alarm control correctly: If the buzzer sounds during a warm-up or temperature event, press ALARM OFF to silence it.
- Check the temperature control location: On upright models, the temperature control is located inside the freezer.
- Avoid overloading after restart: Wait about 4 hours before loading unfrozen food.
Quick checks if it still will not cool
| What you notice | Most likely cause | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| Runs but not cold enough | Airflow or door seal issue | Door closes fully, gasket seals, vents not blocked |
| Heavy frost buildup | Defrost system problem | Defrost heater and defrost thermostat |
| Alarm light blinking and buzzer returns | Temperature still unsafe | Confirm door is shut, allow more run time, verify settings |
Parts that commonly relate to “no cool” or frost problems
If you find a defrost or airflow issue, these model-matched parts are common suspects:
Why it matters
A “reset” usually does not fix the root cause. If the freezer is warm because the door is not sealing, airflow is blocked, or the defrost system is failing, the temperature can rise again and trigger the alarm even after power is restored.

What causes an upright freezer to stop freezing?
For Kenmore upright freezer model 25323725100, a “not freezing” problem is caused by loss of cooling (compressor not running), airflow blocked by frost, or warm air leaking in through a door that is not sealing. Use the troubleshooting guidance in the 25323725100 owner's manual to pinpoint the failure.
Quick checks first
- Confirm the freezer has power and is plugged in.
- Turn the temperature control colder; allow several hours to stabilize.
- Reduce door openings; warm, moist air quickly raises temperatures.
- Verify the door closes evenly; leveling affects alignment and sealing.
- Check for heavy frost (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch) that can restrict airflow.
Common causes and what to do next
| Likely cause | What you notice | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Door not sealing | Frost, moisture, long run times | Inspect gasket contact; correct leveling and alignment |
| Frost buildup restricting airflow | Weak/no cold air movement | Defrost and clean; use a plastic scraper for light frost |
| Defrost system failure | Frost returns quickly after defrost | Test defrost components such as the freezer defrost heater 216730700 and thermostat 297216600 |
| Evaporator fan problem | Runs but poor circulation, uneven temps | Check fan operation; inspect fan motor 5304436055 and blade 5308000010 |
| Compressor start issue | Clicking or hum then stops | Diagnose start components; replace failed parts as needed |
Why it matters
A freezer can seem “dead” even with power if warm air leaks in or frost blocks airflow. Fixing sealing, leveling, and defrost issues first restores stable temperatures and prevents unnecessary part replacement.
