How do I find the model number on my KSRB25FHSS04?
The model number for your KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerator is printed on the appliance’s model and serial tag. On KSRB25FHSS04 units, that tag is typically inside the fresh food compartment along the side wall or near the ceiling.
Where to look first
- Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door and scan the inner cabinet walls
- Check the left and right side walls near the front edge
- Look near the top (ceiling area) of the fresh food compartment
- If you do not see it, check the freezer compartment side walls
What the label looks like
The tag usually includes:
- Model number (for example, KSRB25FHSS04)
- Serial number
- Electrical ratings (volts/amps)
- Sometimes a bar code
Why it matters
Using the exact model number ensures you get the correct diagrams, troubleshooting steps, and compatible parts (like a water filter, ice maker, or inlet valve) for your specific revision.
Quick checklist
| What to match | Example | Why it’s important |
|---|---|---|
| Full model number | KSRB25FHSS04 | Ensures correct part fit |
| All letters and digits | KSRB25FHSS04 (not partial) | Avoids ordering the wrong revision |
| Serial number (optional) | Varies | Helps with production variations |
For model-specific identification details and label locations, use the KSRB25FHSS04 owner's manual.

What is the average lifespan of KSRB25FHSS04?
The average lifespan of a KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerator like model KSRB25FHSS04 is 14 years. Regular maintenance (cleaning condenser coils, keeping door seals tight, and replacing the water filter on schedule) helps it reach that typical service life.
What affects lifespan most
- Condenser coil cleanliness (dust buildup makes the compressor work harder)
- Door gasket condition and door alignment
- Ice maker and water system upkeep (filter changes, leak prevention)
- Stable temperatures (freezer about 0°F, refrigerator about 37°F)
- Good airflow (do not block vents with food packages)
Maintenance schedule we recommend
| Task | Typical frequency | What it helps prevent |
|---|---|---|
| Replace water filter | Every 6 months | Low flow, bad taste, ice maker issues |
| Clean condenser coils | Every 6 to 12 months | Overheating, poor cooling |
| Inspect door seals | Every 3 to 6 months | Frost, warm temps, long run times |
| Empty and clean ice bin | As needed | Clumping, jams, odors |
Why it matters
A refrigerator that runs longer to hold temperature uses more energy and puts extra wear on key components like the compressor, condenser fan, and defrost system.
For model-specific care and operating guidance, follow the KSRB25FHSS04 owner's manual.

- Ice maker assembly (no ice, small cubes, intermittent harvest)
- Inlet valve (no water to dispenser or ice maker, slow fill)
- Defrost parts (frost buildup, warm freezer, restricted airflow)
- Door closing and sealing parts (doors not closing fully, air leaks)
Popular parts for this model (examples)
| Symptom | Likely part | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Bad taste or slow water flow | Refrigerator water filter EDR5RXD1 | Filters drinking water and ice water supply |
| No ice | Ice maker assembly - refrigerator ice maker by whirlpool 4317943 | Cycles to harvest and refill ice |
| No water/slow fill | Refrigerator inlet valve W10408179 | Opens to send water to dispenser and ice maker |
| Frost on back wall | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal WPW10225581 | Protects defrost circuit, helps control defrost |
| Door not closing smoothly | Refrigerator door closer cam WPW10329686 | Helps the door self-close and align |
Why it matters
Replacing the correct part restores proper temperatures and prevents secondary problems like ice clumping, water leaks, and compressor overwork.
