Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. For Kenmore model 25362622015, the manual notes the serial plate is located inside the refrigerator compartment; write down both the model and serial number for parts and service reference using the owner's manual.

Where to look for the model number tag

Check these common locations on Kenmore top-mount refrigerators:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a serial plate (most common)
• On an inside side wall near the top shelf area
• On the wall behind or near the crisper drawers
• Along the door frame when you open the refrigerator door
• Less commonly, inside the freezer compartment on an interior wall

What to write down (and why)

Record the information exactly as shown on the serial plate.

• Model number (example format in the manual: starts with 253.)
• Serial number
• Purchase date (helpful for maintenance and warranty paperwork)

Quick reference table

Item on the serial plate	What it’s used for	Example for this style
Model number	Matching the correct parts diagrams and parts list	253.XXXXXXX (often shown with a dot)
Serial number	Identifying the production run and exact configuration	Letters and numbers
Purchase date	Maintenance and warranty documentation	Month/day/year

Why it matters

Kenmore refrigerators can look similar across multiple model families, but parts like a refrigerator light bulb, door shelf rail, evaporator fan motor, or defrost thermostat must match the exact model number to fit and work correctly.

The most common issues we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25362622015 are cooling problems, water leaks, excessive frost, unusual noises, and ice maker or dispenser troubles. Many of these trace back to airflow, door sealing, defrost components, or a failed fan or light.

Common problems and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or warm temperatures: dirty condenser area, blocked toe grille, failed fan, or doors not sealing
• Runs too long: frequent door openings, hot room temperature, or a leaking door gasket
• Frost build-up: door left slightly open, poor gasket seal, or a defrost system issue
• Water inside or puddles: door left ajar, high humidity, or a drain issue during defrost
• Noisy operation: fan blade hitting ice, worn fan motor, or normal cycling sounds
• Light not working: burned-out bulb

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

1. Confirm the toe grille is not blocked and airflow around the cabinet is clear.
2. Verify both doors close gently and fully; avoid slamming one door (it can pop the other open slightly).
3. Set temperatures, then allow 24 hours for stabilization after changes.
4. Check that the refrigerator is level and stable on the floor.
5. If installed in a cold garage, keep room temperature above 55°F (or use the garage kit guidance in the owner's manual).

Parts that commonly solve these symptoms (when a part is actually bad)

Symptom	Common suspect part	Example part for this model
Warm fridge/freezer, fan noise, poor airflow	Evaporator fan motor or blade	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 241854301, refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010
Frost issues tied to defrost cycle	Defrost thermostat or timer	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918634, refrigerator defrost timer 215846604
No interior light	Light bulb	Refrigerator light bulb 316538904

Why it matters

Cooling, frost, and leak complaints often come from the same root causes: restricted airflow, doors not sealing, or the defrost system not clearing moisture. Fixing the underlying cause protects food temperatures and reduces compressor run time.

A Kenmore refrigerator typically lasts 12 to 15 years. For your Kenmore 25362622015 top-mount refrigerator, steady temperatures, good airflow around the cabinet, and routine cleaning are the biggest factors that keep the sealed system and fans running longer.

What affects lifespan the most

• Ventilation clearances: keep about 3/8 inch at the sides and top and 1 inch at the rear for airflow (helps the compressor run cooler).
• Room temperature: avoid locations below 55°F or above 110°F, which can impair cooling performance.
• Condenser area cleanliness: dust buildup makes the compressor work harder.
• Door sealing and door habits: frequent warm-air leaks increase run time.
• Electrical setup: use a properly grounded outlet; avoid extension cords and adapters.

Quick maintenance checklist (simple, high impact)

• Vacuum dust from the condenser area and floor under the unit.
• Confirm the refrigerator is level so doors close fully.
• Keep vents inside the fresh food and freezer compartments unblocked.
• Replace failed interior lighting promptly (use the same wattage bulb).
• If you have an ice maker, turn it off during long vacations and shut off the water supply.

Common “wear items” vs. major repairs

Category	Examples	What it means for lifespan
Wear items	Light bulbs, filters, door bins	Normal replacements; usually not a lifespan concern
Airflow parts	Evaporator fan motor, fan blade	Poor airflow can shorten compressor life
Sealed system	Compressor, evaporator	Costly repairs; often the deciding factor on keeping the unit

If your interior light is out, follow the steps in the owner's manual and use a compatible replacement such as the refrigerator light bulb 316538904 when it matches your original bulb type.

Why it matters

Most refrigerator “end of life” problems come from heat and long run times. Good airflow, correct installation clearances, and basic cleaning reduce stress on the compressor and help your 25362622015 reach (and often exceed) the 12 to 15 year average.

Your Kenmore refrigerator model 25362622015 has a specific factory-rated capacity (cubic feet) listed in the product specifications for that exact model; the most accurate way to get it is to check the specs section in the 25362622015 owner's manual rather than calculating from a couple of exterior measurements.

How to find the correct cubic feet for model 25362622015

Use these quick checks so you get the true rated capacity (not an estimate):

• Look in the specifications section of the 25362622015 owner's manual
• Check the model/serial plate inside the fresh food compartment (the manual notes it is located inside the refrigerator compartment)
• Use the model number exactly as shown: 25362622015 (no spaces)
• If you see a capacity listed as total, refrigerator, and freezer, use total for “cubic feet”
• Avoid using only outside height and depth; exterior dimensions do not account for insulation and internal components

Why “measure and multiply” often gives the wrong number

Exterior measurements can overstate capacity because they include cabinet walls, insulation thickness, and non-storage areas.

Common capacity terms (what they mean)

Term you may see	What it includes	What to use for “cubic feet”
Total capacity	Fresh food + freezer	Use this
Refrigerator capacity	Fresh food section only	Use only if asked for fridge section
Freezer capacity	Freezer section only	Use only if asked for freezer section

If you still want a rough estimate (quick method)

We use this only as a ballpark when the rated spec is not in front of you:

• Measure interior usable space, not the outside cabinet
• Convert inches to cubic feet: (W x H x D) / 1728
• Subtract space taken by fixed components (air ducts, light housing, shelves supports)

Why it matters

Knowing the correct cubic feet helps you compare refrigerators accurately, choose the right storage accessories, and confirm fit and airflow needs during installation (clearances and placement guidance are covered in the installation guide).
