Kenmore 25368972802 top-mount refrigerator Parts

The freezer capacity (cubic feet) for Kenmore model 25368972802 is not listed in the excerpts we have for this model’s documentation; most Kenmore top-mount refrigerators in this style have a freezer section that’s typically about 4 to 6 cu. ft. Use the capacity/specs section in the 25368972802 owner's manual for the exact number.

How to find the exact freezer cubic feet for 25368972802

We recommend checking the model’s specification details in the manual, then confirming the total refrigerator capacity versus freezer capacity.

• Look for a section labeled Specifications, Product data, or Capacity.
• Check whether the manual lists total capacity and freezer capacity separately.
• If only total capacity is shown, look for a breakdown by compartment.
• Use the model/serial label to confirm you are reading the correct document for 25368972802.

Typical freezer capacity range (what to expect)

Top-mount refrigerators commonly allocate a smaller portion of total space to the freezer.

Refrigerator type	Typical total capacity	Typical freezer capacity
Top-mount refrigerator	14 to 21 cu. ft.	4 to 6 cu. ft.

Why it matters

Knowing the freezer’s cubic feet helps you plan food storage, choose the right organization bins, and compare usable space between models (especially if you are replacing an older refrigerator).

On the Kenmore 25368972802 top-mount refrigerator, the upper part is the freezer compartment. It’s the section designed to keep foods frozen (typically 0°F or lower) and, on some models, it also supports ice making and frozen-food storage.

What the freezer compartment does

The freezer compartment is built to maintain freezing temperatures and store frozen foods efficiently.

• Keeps frozen foods at 0°F or lower for best performance
• Helps the refrigerator run efficiently when the freezer is at least 2/3 full
• Supports proper air circulation when you avoid overpacking
• May include an ice maker (some models) and related components

Freezer vs. fresh food compartment (quick comparison)

Section	Typical temperature target	Main purpose
Freezer compartment (upper section on a top-mount)	0°F or lower	Long-term frozen storage
Fresh food compartment (lower section)	34°F to 40°F (optimum about 37°F)	Everyday refrigerated foods

Why it matters

Knowing the correct name helps when you’re using the 25368972802 owner's manual for temperature settings, storage guidance, and troubleshooting. It also makes it easier to identify the right parts (like door gaskets, shelves, or bins) when you’re ordering replacements.

Common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25368972802 include not cooling well (often airflow or condenser-related), frost or ice buildup from a defrost or door-seal issue, unusual noise or vibration from fans or leveling, and simple electrical issues like a light that will not turn on. Use the 25368972802 owner's manual troubleshooting section to match symptoms to checks.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cooling or weak cooling: dirty condenser coils, blocked air vents, evaporator fan issue, or a defrost problem causing ice to restrict airflow.
• Frost/ice buildup: door not sealing, frequent door openings, or a defrost system failure.
• Noisy or vibrating: cabinet not level, weak floor, items touching the cabinet, or a fan blade rubbing.
• Odors: spills, uncovered foods, or moisture buildup.
• Light not working: failed bulb or door switch issue.

Quick checks we recommend first (before parts)

1. Confirm the temperature controls are not set to “O” (OFF).
2. Make sure the refrigerator is plugged in; check the breaker or fuse (15-amp time-delay fuse is typical).
3. Allow 24 hours after any control change for temperatures to stabilize.
4. Check that food packages are not blocking cold air vents; avoid overcrowding.
5. Level the cabinet if it is noisy or vibrating.

Parts that commonly relate to these problems

Symptom	Commonly involved area	Example part for this model
Frost buildup, warm fridge	Defrost system	Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918202
Fan noise, warm temps	Evaporator fan	Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010
Interior light out	Lighting	Refrigerator light bulb 316538904
Moisture, frost at door edge	Door seal	Refrigerator gasket 242193213

Why it matters

Cooling complaints are often caused by airflow restrictions or maintenance issues (like dirty condenser coils or blocked vents). Catching those early helps the compressor run less, keeps food safer, and prevents heavy frost that can lead to bigger repairs.
