Kenmore 25370642612 top-mount refrigerator Parts

Kenmore model 25370642612 is a Kenmore-branded top-mount refrigerator built for Sears; the 253 model prefix identifies it as a unit manufactured by Frigidaire/Electrolux for Kenmore. For model identification details (model/serial plate location and how the model number is recorded), use the 25370642612 owner's manual.

Kenmore is a brand, and different manufacturers build Kenmore appliances. For refrigerators, the first three digits of the model number are the key identifier.

• 253 prefix: Frigidaire/Electrolux-built Kenmore refrigerator
• The remaining digits: configuration and feature set for that series
• The serial plate inside the fresh food compartment: confirms the exact model/serial

The Use & Care Guide for this series explains that the model and serial information is found on the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment.

• Open the fresh food (refrigerator) door
• Look along the side wall or upper interior area for the serial plate
• Record the full model number and serial number for parts lookup and service

Knowing who built the refrigerator helps when you are troubleshooting cooling issues, ordering parts like an evaporator fan motor, or matching service information to the correct design family.

On a Kenmore 25370642612 top-mount refrigerator, the upper compartment is the freezer compartment (often just called the freezer). It’s the section designed to keep foods frozen and, on many models, it’s also where the ice maker mounts and makes ice.

• Freezer shelf or shelves for organizing frozen food
• Cold air outlets that help circulate air to the fresh food section below
• An ice maker location (if equipped) and an ice bin
• A freezer light and/or temperature control components (varies by model)

Knowing the correct name helps when you’re ordering parts, reading diagrams, or following troubleshooting steps. For example, ice maker instructions and freezer airflow issues are always tied to the freezer compartment on a top-mount design.

• For compartment names, temperature guidance, and feature descriptions, use the 25370642612 owner’s manual.
• If you’re working on door alignment, leveling, or ice maker water hookup, use the 25370642612 installation guide.

Kenmore top-mount refrigerators in the 253 series, including model 25370642612, are typically about 32 inches wide, 66 inches tall, and 27 inches deep (without counting extra clearance for airflow and door swing). For the exact cabinet and clearance dimensions, use the 25370642612 owner's manual.

When you’re checking fit for a kitchen opening, we recommend measuring both the refrigerator and the space.

• Width: measure the cabinet, then add room for door swing and leveling
• Height: include hinge area and confirm the unit can tilt out for service
• Depth: measure cabinet depth and plan for handles and door clearance
• Clearance: leave space behind and above for ventilation
• Floor leveling: confirm the unit can be leveled so doors close properly

Even if the cabinet dimensions fit, the refrigerator still needs room to breathe and operate correctly. Proper clearance helps prevent warm temperatures, long run times, and moisture issues around the doors.

If your refrigerator is not closing well after installation, leveling is usually the fix. Many top-mount models are leveled by adjusting the front leveling screws so the cabinet tilts slightly back; the 25370642612 installation guide walks through leveling and door closing checks.
