Kenmore 25377173507 refrigerator Parts

Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment. On Kenmore model 25377173507, this identification label is located inside the fresh food (refrigerator) section, not on the exterior cabinet.

Where to look for the model number label

Check these common spots first (use a flashlight and look for a sticker or metal plate with model and serial):

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on an interior side wall
• Inside the refrigerator compartment near the top (side wall or ceiling area)
• Behind or beside the crisper drawers (on the back wall or side wall)
• Along the door frame area (fresh food section)
• If you still do not see it, confirm the exact location using the owner's manual

What the label looks like and what to write down

The serial plate typically includes several fields. Record them exactly as shown:

• Model number (example format: 253.77173507 or 25377173507)
• Serial number
• Electrical ratings (volts/amps)
• Sometimes a manufacturing date code

Quick ID checklist

Item to capture	Why it matters	Example

Kenmore model numbers are read as a prefix plus a full model identifier; on Kenmore refrigerator model 25377173507, the 253 prefix identifies the manufacturing source family, and the remaining digits narrow down the exact design and variation. We use the complete model number to match the correct parts list and documentation.

Where to find the model number on your refrigerator

For Kenmore 25377173507, the owner’s guide notes the model and serial information is on the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment. Use the full number exactly as shown.

• Look inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment for the serial plate
• Copy the entire model number (all digits, in order)
• Record the serial number too (helps confirm production variation)
• Use the model number when ordering parts like a gasket, light bulb, or start relay
• Keep it with your paperwork for quick reference (or note it in your phone)

Reference: owner's manual

How Kenmore model numbers are typically structured

Kenmore model numbers commonly follow this pattern:

Section	Example (25377173507)	What it tells you
Prefix	253	Manufacturer source family used for parts lookup
Base model + variation	77173507	Specific configuration, features, and revision

Why the prefix matters

• It helps route you to the right parts diagrams and compatible components
• It reduces ordering mistakes when similar-looking refrigerators use different parts
• It can point you toward the right style of service information and wiring layouts

Why it matters when buying parts

Even small differences in a top-mount refrigerator can change which parts fit (door gasket profile, shelf supports, light bulb base, or compressor start components). Using the exact model number helps ensure the part you choose matches your Kenmore refrigerator.

If you are replacing common items, match by model first, then confirm by part description. For example, this model’s parts list includes items like the refrigerator light bulb 316538904 and the refrigerator start relay kit 5304491941.

The exact cubic-foot capacity for your Kenmore top-mount refrigerator model 25377173507 is listed on the model’s rating information and in the specifications section of the 25377173507 owner's manual. The most reliable way is to match the model number on the serial plate inside the fresh-food compartment, then confirm the capacity in the manual.

Fast ways to find your refrigerator’s capacity

Use these checks in order; they prevent mix-ups with similar Kenmore 253-series models.

• Check the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment and confirm the full model number is 25377173507.
• Look in the specifications section of the 25377173507 owner's manual for “capacity” or “total volume.”
• If you are measuring instead, use interior dimensions (not exterior cabinet size) and exclude door bins and unusable space.
• If the refrigerator has been modified (added ice maker, shelves changed), still use the published spec for true capacity.
• Keep the model and serial number recorded for future parts matching (the manual recommends recording them for reference).

If you want to estimate cubic feet by measuring

This gives a close estimate when you cannot access the spec page.

1. Measure usable interior width x depth x height (in inches) for the fresh-food section.
2. Do the same for the freezer section.
3. Convert each section to cubic feet: divide cubic inches by 1,728.

Method	What you need	Accuracy	Best for
Manual specification	Model number match	Highest	Confirming true rated capacity
Interior measurement	Tape measure	Medium	Quick estimate
Exterior measurement	Tape measure	Low	Not recommended

Why it matters

Capacity affects how you set expectations for food storage, airflow clearance around shelves, and which replacement parts fit correctly (for example, shelves, door bins, and gaskets are often capacity and layout dependent).

Most Kenmore refrigerators last 12 to 15 years on average. For your Kenmore 25377173507 top-mount refrigerator, steady temperatures, clean airflow around the condenser area, and good door sealing are the biggest factors that keep the sealed system and compressor running longer (see the owner's manual).

Typical lifespan and what to expect

A refrigerator’s “life” is usually measured by how long it can cool safely and consistently without major sealed-system or compressor issues.

• Average range: 12 to 15 years
• Common mid-life repairs: door gasket leaks, fan noise, defrost issues, light failures
• Most important habit: keep airflow and temperatures stable

Quick reference

Item	Typical expectation	What you can do
Overall refrigerator lifespan	12 to 15 years	Keep coils/airflow clean; avoid overloading
Door seal life	Often 5 to 10+ years	Keep gasket clean; confirm doors close squarely
Interior light bulb	Varies widely	Replace when dim or out

Maintenance that extends life (practical checklist)

These steps reduce run time, prevent overheating, and help the evaporator and condenser operate efficiently.

• Keep the refrigerator on a dedicated 115V outlet and avoid extension cords (per the owner's manual).
• Maintain clearance for ventilation; blocked airflow makes the compressor run hotter and longer.
• Clean and inspect door gaskets; a poor seal forces longer run cycles.
• Set temperatures to safe, steady settings; frequent adjustments can increase cycling.
• Listen for new noises (fan rubbing, clicking, buzzing) and address them early.

Parts that commonly affect performance

If your refrigerator is warming, running constantly, or building frost, these model-compatible parts are often involved:

• Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202 (defrost temperature sensing)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 (moves cold air through the compartments)
• Refrigerator start relay kit 5304491941 (helps the compressor start reliably)

Why it matters

A refrigerator near the end of its typical lifespan often shows up as long run times, temperature swings, frost buildup, or door sealing problems. Fixing airflow, sealing, and defrost issues early helps protect food temperatures and reduces stress on the compressor.
