Kenmore 25363712304 refrigerator Parts

On the Kenmore 25363712304 top-mount refrigerator, the top section is the freezer compartment. It’s designed to keep foods frozen, store ice, and hold items that need the coldest temperatures in the appliance (typically around 0°F).

What the freezer does (and what it’s not)

The freezer is the coldest compartment; the refrigerator section below is for fresh-food storage.

• Freezes and stores frozen foods long-term
• Helps maintain safe frozen temperatures for meat, vegetables, and prepared foods
• Often includes door shelves for quick-access items (but temps can vary more there)
• Works with the refrigerator’s airflow system, so blocking vents can reduce cooling performance

On Kenmore refrigerator model 25363712304, the model number is printed on the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment. Once you find it, write it down (or take a photo) so you can match the correct parts and instructions in the 25363712304 owner's manual.

Where to look on the refrigerator

Check these common serial plate locations first:

• Inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light
• On the frame just behind the crisper drawers (you may need to pull drawers out)
• Along the door opening (hinge-side frame area)

Tips for reading the serial plate

The label can be easy to miss or hard to read. These steps help:

• Use a flashlight and look for a white or silver sticker/plate
• Wipe dust lightly; use only mild soap and water on the label
• Record both the model number and serial number for future reference
• Take a clear photo so you can zoom in later

Why the model number matters

The model number tells us the exact design version of your Kenmore refrigerator, which affects fit and compatibility for parts like a door gasket, light bulb, or crisper drawer.

What you’re doing	What to use	Why it helps
Ordering replacement parts	Model number + part ID	Prevents wrong-size shelves, drawers, and gaskets
Using instructions	Owner’s manual	Ensures steps match your control layout and features

For Kenmore refrigerator model 25363712304, the correct water filter is the one specified for your exact model and configuration; the most reliable way to match it is to use the model number from the serial plate inside the fresh food compartment and confirm the filter type in the 25363712304 owner's manual.

How to identify the right filter for your refrigerator

Use these checks to avoid buying the wrong cartridge:

• Confirm the full model number 25363712304 from the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment.
• Check whether your refrigerator is actually connected to a water supply (some versions are ice-maker ready but not plumbed).
• Look for an existing filter housing (inside the fresh food section, upper corner, or base grille area on many designs).
• If a filter is installed now, match the printed filter number on the cartridge.
• If there is no filter housing, your setup may use an inline filter in the water line instead of a cartridge.

Quick compatibility guide (what you are matching)

A “fits” match depends on the filter mounting style and water path, not just brand.

What you see on the refrigerator	What it usually means	What to do next
Twist-in or push-in cartridge housing	Uses a replaceable refrigerator water filter	Confirm the exact filter number in the manual or on the old filter
No cartridge housing, but has a water line to an ice maker	May use an inline water filter	Identify the inline filter type and tubing size
Not connected to water	No filter needed for normal cooling	Install water line and filter only if adding ice maker/water features

Why it matters

Using the correct filter helps maintain water flow to the ice maker (and dispenser, if equipped), reduces taste and odor issues, and prevents leaks caused by a mismatched seal or incorrect cartridge fit.
