On Kenmore refrigerators like model 25371112104, the model number is printed on the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment. Once you find that plate, write down both the model and serial numbers so you can match the correct parts and instructions in the 25371112104 owner's manual.

Where to look for the model number label

We typically see the model and serial information in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on an interior side wall
• On the frame just inside the refrigerator door opening
• Behind or near the lower crisper drawers (you may need to slide drawers out)
• Less commonly, inside the freezer compartment on an interior wall

How to read and record it correctly

The serial plate can be easy to misread, so we recommend:

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (numbers and any letters)
• Record the serial number too (it helps confirm the correct version)
• Take a clear photo of the label for reference when ordering parts
• Clean the serial plate gently with soap and water if it is dirty (avoid harsh cleaners)

Why the model number matters for parts and repairs

Kenmore model numbers identify the exact design of your refrigerator (shelves, door bins, ice maker setup, wiring, and cooling system components). That is what ensures you get the right replacement part the first time.

Examples of parts that depend on the exact model

What you are replacing	Example part for this model page	What the model number prevents
Ice maker assembly	Ice maker 5304458371	Wrong mounting style or wiring plug
Defrost control component	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202	Wrong temperature rating or connector
Interior light	Refrigerator light bulb 316538904	Wrong base type or wattage rating

If the label is missing or unreadable

Use these practical checks to narrow it down:

• Look for a second label location inside the refrigerator compartment near the crisper area
• Check for a sticker on the cabinet frame behind the door gasket edge
• Match key features (top-mount freezer, door style, ice maker presence) and then confirm using the Sears PartsDirect model search

Common Kenmore Elite refrigerator problems are loss of cooling, ice maker failures, water leaks, and noisy operation; on Kenmore model 25371112104 (top-mount), these symptoms most often trace back to airflow restrictions, dirty condenser coils, door sealing issues, or a defrost system problem. Use the 25371112104 owner's manual to match symptoms to the “Before you call” checks and safe operating guidance.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or warm fridge section: blocked air vents, dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan issue
• Freezer too cold or temps swing: control setting off, door not closing tightly, frequent door openings
• Ice maker not working: ice maker switched off, water supply valve closed, ice buildup, failed ice maker components
• Water on floor or inside fridge: clogged/iced drain path, door left ajar, excess moisture from uncovered foods
• Unusual noises: normal operating sounds amplified by floors/cabinets, or a fan blade rubbing ice

Quick checks we recommend first (safe, fast, and effective)

1. Confirm the refrigerator is plugged into a grounded outlet (no extension cord or adapter).
2. Make sure doors close tightly; level the cabinet if needed.
3. Clean condenser coils periodically (dirty coils commonly cause cooling complaints).
4. Do not overcrowd shelves; keep cold air vents clear.
5. If the unit just stopped cooling, allow about 20 minutes in case it is in a defrost cycle.

Parts that commonly solve these problems (when a repair is needed)

If troubleshooting points to a failed component, these model-matched parts are common fixes:

Problem area	What you may notice	Example part for this model
Evaporator airflow	Warm fridge, weak airflow, noise	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010
Defrost system	Frost buildup, warm temps, fan hitting ice	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202 or refrigerator defrost heater 5303918247
Ice maker	No ice, small batches, leaking at ice maker	Ice maker 5304458371

Why it matters

Cooling, ice production, and leak issues often start as simple maintenance problems (airflow, coil cleaning, door closure). Fixing those early helps the compressor run less, stabilizes temperatures, and prevents frost or water damage.

You can order replacement parts for Kenmore 25371112104 from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator typically lasts 10 to 15 years. For a Kenmore top-mount refrigerator like model 25371112104, consistent care (stable temperatures, clean airflow, and good door sealing) is what most directly determines whether you land closer to 10 years or closer to 15.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most refrigerators fail early due to heat buildup, poor airflow, or cooling-system strain. These factors have the biggest impact:

• Condenser airflow and cleanliness (dust and pet hair raise operating temperatures)
• Door seal condition (warm air leaks force longer run times)
• Temperature settings (extremes can overwork the compressor)
• Ice maker and water system issues (leaks and clogs can create secondary damage)
• Power quality (frequent outages or low voltage can stress components)

What “end of life” usually looks like

If your refrigerator is approaching the 10 to 15 year range, these symptoms often show up first:

• Food temperatures drift even after adjusting controls
• Frost buildup or repeated defrost problems
• Unusual fan noise or warm cabinet walls
• Water puddles under the unit
• Ice maker stops producing consistently

Quick symptom-to-part examples (common on many top-mount designs)

Symptom	Common area to check	Example part for this model
Warm fridge, freezer OK	Evaporator airflow	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010
Heavy frost, warm temps	Defrost system	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202
Door not sealing well	Door gasket/door alignment	Refrigerator door 242193213

Why it matters

Knowing the typical lifespan helps you decide whether to repair or replace. A simple fix (like restoring airflow or replacing a failed defrost component) can add years; a sealed-system or compressor issue late in life often changes the value equation.

Best maintenance to reach 15 years

We recommend these practical steps:

• Keep vents clear inside the refrigerator and freezer
• Clean dust from the condenser area regularly
• Confirm doors close fully and seals are clean
• Set temperatures to normal food-safe ranges (avoid “max cold” unless needed)
• Follow the care and operating guidance in the 25371112104 owner's manual

If you decide to repair, you can order model-matched parts from the list for 25371112104, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
