Kenmore 25354669405 refrigerator Parts

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators weigh about 250 to 320 lb when empty; your Kenmore 25354669405 is typically in that same range. For the exact shipping and installed weight for your specific unit, check the specifications section in the owner's manual.

Typical weight ranges (what to expect)

Side-by-side refrigerator weight varies mainly by cabinet size, dispenser hardware, and insulation.

• Empty (installed) weight: ~250 to 320 lb
• Shipping weight (boxed): usually 10 to 30 lb higher than empty weight
• With food and ice: often +50 to 150 lb depending on how full it is
• With doors removed: typically 20 to 60 lb lighter (helps for tight doorways)

Why the exact weight matters

Knowing the correct weight helps prevent floor damage and makes moving safer.

• Confirms if your flooring and dolly are rated appropriately
• Helps plan how many people you need for moving
• Reduces risk of door, hinge, and cabinet damage during transport

Quick planning guide

Situation	What we recommend	Why
Moving across a room	2 people + appliance dolly	Better control and less tipping risk
Stairs involved	3 to 4 people + straps	Side-by-sides are tall and top-heavy
Tight doorway	Remove doors per installation guide	Prevents cabinet and trim damage

Tips for moving a side-by-side safely

• Unplug the refrigerator and secure the power cord.
• Remove food, bins, and the ice container to reduce weight.
• Protect floors with plywood or a hard floor runner.
• Keep the refrigerator as upright as possible during transport.
• After moving, let it stand upright before plugging in (use the timing guidance in the owner's manual).

On Kenmore refrigerator model 25354669405, the SY EF (sometimes shown as Sy EF) code points to a problem in the freezer evaporator fan circuit, most often the evaporator fan not running or feedback not being detected. Start by checking for ice buildup or an obstruction, then verify the fan can spin freely.

What to check first (fast troubleshooting)

• Power reset: unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Listen for the freezer fan: you should typically hear airflow when the compressor is running.
• Look for frost or ice blocking airflow at the rear freezer panel.
• Check for a door left ajar or a torn door seal that can cause heavy frost.
• Confirm vents are not blocked by food packages.

Common causes and likely fixes

What you notice	Most likely cause	What usually fixes it
Loud rubbing or ticking from freezer	Fan blade hitting ice	Defrost ice buildup; clear obstruction
Freezer cold but fresh food warm	Poor airflow from freezer	Clear vents; address frost pattern
SY EF returns after reset	Fan motor feedback issue or wiring issue	Inspect fan area and harness connections
Heavy frost on freezer back wall	Defrost system problem	Check defrost components and airflow

If you find the fan blade damaged or wobbling, replacing the blade is a common repair for airflow-related errors; the correct blade for this model is the refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010.

Why this matters

The evaporator fan moves cold air across the evaporator and circulates it through the freezer and fresh food sections. When airflow drops, temperatures drift, frost builds faster, and the control can flag SY EF.

Helpful references for this model

• Use the owner's manual for model-specific operating details and control settings.
• If you need to access the dispenser area during diagnosis, follow the steps in how to disassemble a Kenmore refrigerator dispenser.

Kenmore Elite refrigerator capacity depends on the exact model number; “Kenmore Elite” covers multiple sizes across side-by-side, top freezer, and French door designs. For your Kenmore 25354669405, the most accurate cubic-feet capacity is listed in the specifications section of the 25354669405 owner's manual.

How to find the cubic-feet capacity for your exact Kenmore Elite model

We recommend using the model number on the rating plate (inside the fresh food compartment) and then checking the specs in the manual.

• Locate the model number and serial number label inside the refrigerator compartment
• Open the specifications section in the manual and look for “capacity” or “total volume”
• If the manual lists separate volumes, add fresh food + freezer for total cubic feet
• Use the exact model number (for example, 25354669405) to avoid mixing up similar-looking Elite units

Typical capacity ranges (for quick comparison)

Most Kenmore Elite refrigerators fall into these common ranges; your exact number can vary by configuration and year.

Refrigerator style	Typical total capacity (cu. ft.)	What that usually means
Side-by-side	22 to 28	Balanced freezer and fresh food space
French door	25 to 33	Larger fresh food section, wide shelves
Top freezer	14 to 21	Compact footprint, simpler layout

Why it matters

Cubic feet affects how much food you can store, but it also impacts shelf and bin fit, water filter usage, and airflow needs. When ordering interior parts (bins, shelves, drawers), matching your exact model and configuration prevents sizing issues.
