Kenmore 25360609413 refrigerator Parts

You can date a Kenmore refrigerator like model 25360609413 by using the serial number on the rating plate, not the model number. The serial number format varies by manufacturer, but it always includes a coded manufacture date you can match using the 25360609413 owner's manual.

Most Kenmore refrigerators place the rating plate in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment
• Behind the crisper drawers
• On the cabinet frame near the door hinge area
• On the back of the refrigerator (less common for everyday access)

Kenmore is a brand label, and different manufacturers built different Kenmore models. That means the serial number code can differ, but the process stays the same:

• Write down the full serial number exactly as shown
• Identify the date code portion (often the first few characters)
• Look for a month + year pattern (letters, numbers, or a mix)
• Compare the code to the manufacturer’s date chart in the documentation
• Confirm by checking the model and serial together on the rating plate

Knowing the manufacture date helps us choose the right refrigerator parts (like a door gasket, evaporator fan motor, or defrost heater) and avoid ordering a look-alike part that does not match your production run.

A Kenmore refrigerator typically lasts 10 to 15 years. For Kenmore model 25360609413, reaching the high end of that range depends most on steady airflow (don’t block the toe grille), a solid door seal, and keeping the unit level; all of these reduce compressor and cooling-system strain.

Most refrigerators fall into these real-world ranges:

• 10 to 15 years: common average for modern refrigerators
• 15+ years: achievable with good ventilation, stable temperatures, and good door gaskets
• Under 10 years: more likely with poor airflow, frequent door seal leaks, or hot installation locations

We recommend these simple checks a few times per year:

• Verify the refrigerator is level front-to-back and side-to-side
• Confirm recommended installation clearances are maintained (sides/top and rear)
• Keep the toe grille unblocked for proper airflow
• Check door gaskets for rips, hardened spots, or areas that don’t contact the cabinet
• Listen for unusual fan noise that could point to airflow issues

If you find a leaking or damaged seal, replacing the gasket is one of the most effective ways to reduce run time; see refrigerator door gasket 242193219 for a model-matched option.

A refrigerator that runs longer to hold temperature wears the sealed system faster. Good airflow, correct clearances, and tight door sealing help the compressor cycle normally, which is the biggest driver of long service life.

For model-specific placement and setup details (clearances, leveling, water supply guidelines), follow the 25360609413 installation guide.

For Kenmore refrigerator model 25360609413, the most commonly needed replacement parts are the ones that wear from daily use (door gaskets, bins, drawers, shelves) plus a few cooling-system service parts (fans, defrost heater). Use the installation guide and parts diagrams to match the exact color and location.

These are frequent replacements because they handle weight, get opened constantly, or affect sealing and airflow:

• Door gaskets (torn, warped, or leaking air)
• Door bins and gallon bins (cracked from heavy bottles)
• Crisper drawer and crisper cover insert (broken rails, warped plastic)
• Shelves (cracked glass or damaged frame)
• Defrost heater (frost buildup, warm freezer)
• Condenser fan motor or evaporator fan blade (noise, poor cooling)

Use these as starting points when symptoms match; confirm fit by model and color.

A good door seal and clear airflow keep temperatures stable, reduce compressor run time, and help prevent frost and condensation. Replacing a cracked bin or drawer also prevents spills and broken plastic from interfering with door closure.

• Match color (white vs black) for gaskets and doors.
• Check for simple fixes first: clean gasket surfaces, level the cabinet, and confirm doors close fully.
• If you are installing an ice maker or water line, follow the water supply requirements in the installation guide (cold water, 30 to 100 psi, 1/4-inch OD copper tubing, and no self-piercing shut-off valve).
