How do I tell what model Kenmore fridge I have?
For a Kenmore refrigerator, the model number is printed on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. On model 25367172508, the owner’s guide notes this plate is located inside the refrigerator compartment; record both the model and serial number for future parts and service needs. See the 25367172508 owner's manual for the exact label location and examples.
Where to look for the model number label
Check these common spots first (use a flashlight and look for a sticker or metal plate):
- Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (most common)
- On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light
- On the side wall behind or beside the crisper drawers
- Along the door frame when you open the refrigerator door
- Behind the lower kickplate or front grille (less common)
What to write down (and why)
When you find the serial plate, copy the information exactly as shown.
- Model number (for example: 25367172508)
- Serial number
- Purchase date (helpful for maintenance records)
Why it matters
The model number is what we use to match the correct Kenmore refrigerator parts list, diagrams, and compatible replacements (like a door gasket, evaporator fan blade, or light bulb).
Quick checklist: model number vs. serial number
| Item | What it tells us | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | The exact refrigerator design and parts | Ordering correct parts and looking up diagrams |
| Serial number | The unit’s production identifier | Verifying production details and service records |
Ordering parts once you have the model number
After you confirm your model number, order parts from the parts list for that exact model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

How to read Kenmore model numbers?
For Kenmore model numbers, we read the first 3 digits as the source (who built the appliance) and the remaining digits as the specific product design and variation. On Kenmore refrigerator model 25367172508, the 253 prefix identifies the manufacturing source, and the full number is what we use to match the correct parts and manual.
Where to find the model number on this refrigerator
For model 25367172508, the owner’s guide states the model and serial information is on the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment. Use the exact full model number when ordering parts or looking up diagrams in the 25367172508 owner's manual.

How Kenmore model numbers are structured (quick guide)
Kenmore model numbers are typically split into two useful chunks:
| Model number section | Example (25367172508) | What it tells you | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prefix (first 3 digits) | 253 | Manufacturing source code | Helps identify the correct parts system and documentation family |
| Remainder (next digits) | 67172508 | Model design and variation | Narrows to the exact shelves, gaskets, motors, and other components |
Why it matters when buying parts
Many Kenmore refrigerators look similar, but parts like a door gasket, evaporator fan blade, or light bulb can differ by variation. Using the full 25367172508 model number helps us match the correct replacement part the first time.
If you are ordering common wear items, you can also match by part ID from the parts list, such as the refrigerator light bulb 316538904 or the refrigerator gasket 241872512, then confirm fit by model number.
Helpful tips to avoid mix-ups
- Match the model number exactly; do not drop digits
- Confirm the part ID and part name before ordering

What size is a Kenmore refrigerator model 25367172508?
For Kenmore top-mount refrigerator model 25367172508, the overall cabinet size is typically about 32 in. wide, 65-3/4 in. high, and 26-5/8 in. deep (depth can vary slightly depending on door and handle configuration). For the exact installed clearances and leveling details, use the installation guide.
Dimensions to use for planning
Use these measurements when checking fit through doorways and into the cutout:
- Width: 32 in.
- Height: 65-3/4 in.
- Depth (cabinet): 26-5/8 in.
- Add space for: door swing, handle projection, and rear air clearance
What to measure at home (so the fridge fits)
Even with published specs, we recommend confirming your space and path:
- Measure the opening width at the front and back (walls are often not perfectly square)
- Measure height to the lowest cabinet/trim above the refrigerator
- Measure depth to the wall, then account for baseboards and the power cord
- Measure doorway widths and tight turns on the delivery path
- Plan for ventilation clearance behind and above the refrigerator
Quick reference table
| Measurement | What it affects | What to allow for |
|---|---|---|
| Width | Cutout fit and side clearance | A little extra space so doors open freely |
| Height | Overhead cabinet clearance | Room to level the refrigerator |
| Depth | How far it sticks out | Door thickness, handle, and airflow behind |
Why it matters
Correct sizing prevents poor door sealing, restricted airflow, and installation headaches. If the refrigerator is forced into a tight opening, the doors can bind, the gasket may not seal well, and cooling performance can suffer.
If you are also replacing a worn door seal while you are measuring and adjusting fit, the refrigerator gasket 241872512 is a common related part for this model.
You can order replacement parts for model 25367172508 from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

What's the average lifespan of a Kenmore refrigerator?
Most Kenmore refrigerators, including model 25367172508, last 12 to 15 years with normal household use. Consistent airflow, clean condenser areas, and quick fixes for door-seal or cooling-fan problems help you reach that typical service life.
What affects refrigerator lifespan most
A refrigerator lasts longer when the compressor runs less and the cabinet stays sealed.
- Dirty condenser area increases heat and compressor run time
- Poor ventilation around the cabinet traps heat
- Worn door gaskets leak warm, moist air and create frost
- Fan issues reduce airflow and cause temperature swings
- Overloading shelves can block vents and restrict circulation
Maintenance that extends life (high impact)
Use these habits to reduce wear on the sealed system and fans.
- Unplug the refrigerator; vacuum dust from the condenser area regularly
- Keep ventilation space around the refrigerator (especially behind it)
- Clean the gasket sealing surface; confirm doors close firmly
- Keep settings steady; avoid extreme cold settings that force constant running
- Investigate new noises early (rubbing, buzzing, clicking)
Quick “repair vs. replace” guide
| Symptom | Common cause | Practical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture, frost, or warm spots near door | Door not sealing | Inspect/replace gasket; check door alignment |
| Rattling in freezer area | Fan blade rubbing | Clear ice; replace blade if damaged |
| Heavy frost on back wall | Defrost problem | Check defrost components and airflow |
Parts that often solve the wear-and-tear issues
- Torn or deformed seal: refrigerator gasket 241872512
- Freezer airflow noise: refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010
- Frost tied to defrost cycling: refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202
Why it matters
A refrigerator that runs longer than necessary uses more energy and puts extra load on the compressor; basic cleaning, ventilation, and door-seal care prevents premature cooling-system wear.
For model-specific care and safety details, use the 25367172508 owner's manual. To order parts for this refrigerator, use the parts list for model 25367172508 or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
