How many cubic feet is a Kenmore model 25362802202 freezer?
The freezer capacity for Kenmore model 25362802202 is not listed in the operating excerpts we have for this model, but most Kenmore 253-series top-mount refrigerators of this size range have a freezer section that’s typically about 4 to 6 cubic feet (with total refrigerator capacity often around 18 to 21 cubic feet). For the exact spec, check the model’s 25362802202 owner’s manual.
We recommend using one of these reliable checks so you get the correct cubic feet for your specific configuration.
- Look for a “Capacity” or “Specifications” section in the 25362802202 owner’s manual
- Check the model and serial tag inside the fresh food compartment (often lists model details used for spec matching)
- Compare the full model number (including any suffix on the rating label) before ordering parts like shelves or bins
- If you’re measuring usable space, remove bulky items and note that shelves and the ice bucket reduce usable volume
Top-mount (top-freezer) refrigerators commonly split capacity between the freezer and fresh food sections.
| Refrigerator style | Typical total capacity | Typical freezer capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Top-mount (top-freezer) | 18 to 21 cu. ft. | 4 to 6 cu. ft. |
Freezer cubic feet affects how much food you can store and helps you choose correctly sized accessories and replacement parts (for example, a wire shelf or door bin support). If you’re troubleshooting cooling, it also helps to know the expected load and airflow needs so vents are not blocked.

What is a top mount refrigerator?
A top-mount refrigerator is a classic refrigerator layout where the freezer compartment is on top and the fresh-food (refrigerator) compartment is below. Your Kenmore 25362802202 is a top-mount design, which typically makes everyday refrigerated items easy to reach while keeping frozen foods in the upper section.
In a top-mount refrigerator like the Kenmore 25362802202:
- The freezer door is the upper door.
- The refrigerator door is the lower door.
- Cold air is produced at the evaporator and circulated to maintain both sections.
- Many models allow door storage and adjustable bins for frequently used items.
- Door swing direction is often reversible to fit your kitchen layout (see the owner's manual).
Top-mount refrigerators are popular because they balance capacity, simplicity, and serviceability.
| Feature | Top-mount refrigerator | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Freezer position | Top | Keeps frozen items at eye level |
| Fresh-food access | Lower section | Most-used items may require bending |
| Door storage | Common | Helps organize jars, bottles, and cans |
| Door reversal | Often supported | Helps fit tight kitchens and traffic flow |
Knowing the configuration helps with everyday use and troubleshooting. For example, airflow between compartments, door alignment, and gasket sealing all affect temperatures and energy use in a top-mount refrigerator.
If you are organizing door storage or replacing broken bin hardware, parts such as the galaxy refrigerator door shelf rail 240331401 are model-matched options for the Kenmore 25362802202.

What water filter fits my Kenmore fridge?
For Kenmore model 25362802202, the correct water filter depends on whether your refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker or water system that uses a filter. The fastest way to match the right filter is to use the model number from the serial plate and confirm the filter style in the 25362802202 owner's manual.
- Check the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment for the full model number (yours is 25362802202).
- Look for a filter housing inside the fresh food section (often upper right) or in the base grille area.
- If you do not see a filter housing, your model may use no internal filter and instead can use an external inline filter (optional) for the ice maker water line.
- If you have an optional ice maker connected, confirm whether your setup includes any inline filtration.
- Match by model number first; filter numbers like “9081/9083/9690/9999” are used on other Kenmore designs and are not reliable without the model match.
| Setup in the home | What it usually means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| No dispenser, optional ice maker only | Often no internal filter | Confirm in the manual; consider an inline filter if desired |
| Visible filter housing inside fridge | Uses a cartridge-style filter | Identify the cartridge type and replace with the exact match |
| Inline filter on the back or under sink | Uses an external filter | Replace the inline filter with the same size and fittings |
Using the correct filter (or confirming you do not need one) protects ice quality and water flow. A mismatched filter can restrict water supply to the ice maker and lead to slow fill, small cubes, or no ice.
If your refrigerator does use a replaceable water filter, follow the steps and filter-type guidance in how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator.
