For Kenmore model 25357398602, the exact cubic-foot capacity is listed on the model’s rating label and in the specifications section of the 25357398602 owner's manual. If you are shopping for a replacement, most standard-depth Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators in this series are typically in the mid-20 cu. ft. range.

How to find the exact capacity on your refrigerator

Look for the rating label (also called the model and serial tag). Common locations include:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• Along the door frame near the hinges
• Behind the crisper drawers or near the bottom liner
• Occasionally on the back exterior panel

Once you find the label, match the model number exactly (25357398602) and use the manual’s specs section to confirm capacity.

Quick comparison: side-by-side vs. French door capacities

Refrigerator style	Typical capacity range	What changes the number most
Side-by-side	22 to 28 cu. ft.	Ice maker, in-door dispenser, insulation thickness
French door	25 to 31 cu. ft.	Drawer layout, freezer design, dispenser features

Why it matters

Capacity affects more than storage space; it also impacts shelf and bin fit, airflow, and how quickly the refrigerator recovers temperature after door openings. If you are replacing parts like a door bin or crisper, confirming the exact model and configuration helps ensure the right fit.

Related parts that are model-fit dependent

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 32 to 36 inches wide; for your specific Kenmore model 25357398602, the exact cabinet width is listed in the 25357398602 owner's manual.

Typical widths you will see (and what changes them)

Side-by-side refrigerator width is usually driven by capacity, door style, and whether the unit is counter-depth.

• Standard-depth models commonly run 33 inches or 36 inches wide
• Counter-depth models are often narrower or shallower, but still commonly 33 inches wide
• Door handles can add noticeable overall width beyond the cabinet
• Door swing clearance can require extra space on the hinge side
• Leveling and toe grille position can affect how the unit sits in the opening

How to measure width the right way

Use a tape measure and confirm both the cabinet and the “installed” width.

• Measure cabinet width (case only, doors closed)
• Measure overall width (including handles, if installed)
• Check door swing clearance (space needed to open doors fully)
• Measure the opening width in 3 spots (top, middle, bottom)
• Leave a small buffer so the refrigerator can be leveled and slid in without binding

Quick reference: what “width” can mean

Measurement you need	What it includes	Best for
Cabinet width	Refrigerator case only	Fitting into a tight cutout
Overall width	Doors plus handles/trim	Avoiding side-wall interference
Required clearance	Space around unit and for door swing	Planning installation and usability

Why it matters

If the refrigerator is even 1 inch wider than your opening (or if handles hit a wall), doors may not seal well, the unit may not level correctly, and airflow clearances can be compromised. Confirming the exact width for model 25357398602 in the manual prevents installation surprises.

Yes. We still offer replacement parts for Kenmore refrigerators, including model 25357398602. You can match parts by model number and symptom, then order common items like water filters, door gaskets, and dispenser components to restore cooling, sealing, and water or ice performance.

Parts you can commonly replace on Kenmore 25357398602

These are some of the most frequently needed part types for this side-by-side refrigerator:

• Refrigerator water filter (improves taste and helps protect the ice maker and dispenser)
• Door gaskets (helps stop warm air leaks that cause frost and temperature swings)
• Light bulb (restores interior lighting)
• Evaporator fan parts (supports airflow for even cooling)
• Ice storage and ice maker components (helps resolve clumping, jams, or low ice)

If you are replacing the water filter, the manual for this model calls out the Kenmore replacement cartridge 46 9910, and it also notes a typical rated capacity of 400 gallons and a rated service flow of 0.5 GPM (varies by water conditions). For the exact steps and any filter status light instructions, use the owner's manual.

Quick part match guide (symptom to likely part)

Symptom	What to check first	Example part on this model page
Water tastes bad or flow is slow	Clogged water filter, air in lines	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WFCB
Frost buildup, doors not sealing	Torn, warped, or dirty gasket	Refrigerator freezer gasket 241786014
No interior light	Burned-out bulb or loose socket	Refrigerator light bulb 316538904
Ice clumps or dispenser jams	Ice bin issues, infrequent use	Refrigerator ice container 241860803

Why it matters

Using the correct model-specific parts helps your Kenmore 25357398602 maintain proper temperatures, reduce frost and moisture problems, and keep the ice maker and water dispenser working reliably. A mismatched gasket or filter can create repeat issues like warm spots, leaks, or dispenser jams.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25357398602 are weak or warm cooling, water leaks or moisture buildup, ice maker and dispenser jams, and unusual fan noises. These issues usually trace back to airflow restrictions, dirty condenser coils, door seal problems, or defrost and ice system maintenance.

Common problems and what typically causes them

• Not cooling or temperatures too warm: dirty condenser coils, doors opened too often, or controls set too warm (allow about 24 hours after adjustments for temperatures to stabilize).
• Moisture or sweating inside: humid conditions, door slightly open, frequent door openings, or uncovered containers.
• Water collecting in drawers or on covers: normal produce moisture, recently washed fruits and vegetables, or humidity settings that need adjustment.
• Ice dispenser jammed: ice not used often or a power outage can cause cubes to melt and refreeze into a clump.
• Noises from the freezer area: evaporator fan issues, ice buildup, or airflow blockage.

Quick checks we recommend first

1. Confirm doors seal and close fully; a slightly open door can warm temps and increase moisture.
2. Clean the condenser (a dirty condenser is a common cause of warm temperatures).
3. Adjust temperature controls one step at a time, then wait 24 hours to judge results.
4. If the ice dispenser jams, remove the bin and shake to loosen cubes; never use sharp tools.
5. If water or ice performance is poor, replace the water filter and flush the system.

Parts that commonly solve these symptoms (when needed)

Symptom	Common fix	Example part for 25357398602
Bad taste/slow water, weak ice production	Replace filter; purge air	Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WFCB
Frost, warm temps, defrost issues	Check defrost controls and components	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214
Door not sealing, moisture, warm spots	Replace door gasket	Refrigerator freezer gasket 241786014
Fan noise, poor airflow	Inspect fan blade and ice buildup	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010

Why it matters

Cooling, moisture control, and ice dispensing all depend on steady airflow and tight door seals. When coils are dirty or a gasket leaks, the refrigerator runs longer, temperatures drift warmer, and you can see more frost, sweating, and ice clumping.

For model-specific operating and care steps (including ice bin handling and water filter details), follow the 25357398602 owner's manual.
