Can you still get parts for Kenmore refrigerators?
Yes. You can still get replacement parts for Kenmore refrigerators, including model 25360603413. The key is matching the exact model number so the part fits correctly; then you can choose common items like door bins, gaskets, drawers, and cooling-system parts as needed.
Use your Kenmore refrigerator’s full model number (for this unit: 25360603413) and confirm the part ID and description match what you’re replacing. The 25360603413 installation guide also covers basic setup details that affect fit and performance.
- Find the model tag inside the fresh food section (often on a side wall) or near the crisper area
- Match the part by part ID and part name, not just by appearance
- Check color and finish for cosmetic parts (white, black, bisque, stainless)
- For sealing issues, confirm which door the gasket is for before ordering
- For cooling issues, verify symptoms before replacing motors or sealed-system parts
Here are examples of parts available for Kenmore 25360603413:
| What you need | Example part (ID) | What it fixes |
|---|---|---|
| Cracked produce drawer | Crisper drawer 240337103 | Broken or sticking drawer |
| Loose door storage | Frigidaire refrigerator door bin 240337901 | Items falling out, bin won’t stay seated |
| Warm temps, noisy airflow | Refrigerator motor 242077705 | Weak or failed evaporator fan airflow |
| Frost buildup, poor cooling | Refrigerator defrost heater 242044008 | Defrost system not melting frost |
Ordering by model number and exact part ID prevents returns and downtime. It also helps protect food temperatures and efficiency; for example, a worn door gasket can cause longer run times and temperature swings.
After changing temperature controls, wait 24 hours before making additional adjustments. This helps you judge whether a cooling issue is real or just a normal stabilization period.

How to tell how old a Kenmore refrigerator is by serial number?
You can tell the age of your Kenmore refrigerator by decoding the serial number on the rating label; the serial (not the model number 25360603413) contains the manufacturing date code. For many Kenmore units, the first characters indicate the month and year it was built.
Check the rating label in one of these common spots:
- Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
- On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment
- Behind the crisper drawers
- On the cabinet frame near the door hinge area
- Occasionally on the back of the cabinet
For label locations and access tips specific to your refrigerator, use the 25360603413 owner's manual.
Most Kenmore serial formats use a date code near the beginning of the serial number. A common pattern is:
- First 1 to 2 letters: manufacturing month (code)
- Next 1 letter or digit: manufacturing year (code)
- Remaining digits: production sequence
Because Kenmore refrigerators were built by different manufacturers over the years, the exact letter-to-month and letter-to-year mapping can vary. The 25360603413 installation guide helps you confirm you are reading the correct label, and the manual typically lists the label format used for your unit.
| What you need | What it tells you | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Serial number prefix | Month code | Narrows build month |
| Serial number prefix | Year code | Identifies build year |
| Full serial number | Production run info | Helps confirm the unit’s identity |
Knowing the manufacturing month and year helps us match the right Kenmore 25360603413 refrigerator parts (like a door gasket, evaporator fan motor, or defrost heater) and avoid ordering a look-alike part that does not fit.

What's the average lifespan of a Kenmore refrigerator?
A Kenmore refrigerator typically lasts 10 to 15 years. With steady upkeep on your Kenmore model 25360603413 (good airflow, clean seals, correct installation clearances), it’s common to reach the high end of that range.
- Heat and airflow: Keep the toe grille unblocked and allow proper cabinet clearances for air circulation.
- Room temperature: Very hot or very cold rooms make the refrigerator work harder.
- Door sealing: A leaking gasket forces longer run times and can cause moisture and frost issues.
- Condenser cleanliness: Dust buildup raises operating temperatures and stresses the compressor.
- Leveling and door alignment: A refrigerator that is not level can lead to poor door closing and gasket wear.
Use these as a simple annual checklist:
- Vacuum dust from the condenser area and surrounding vents.
- Confirm doors close on their own and do not pop open.
- Inspect gaskets for gaps, tears, or hardened sections.
- Keep the toe grille clear for airflow.
- Verify the refrigerator is level and stable.
If you’re troubleshooting a weak seal, our how to fix a fridge door seal guide pairs well with checking the correct gasket for your door color, such as frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (white) 242193206.
| Component/system | Typical impact on lifespan | What you’ll notice first |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor and sealed system | Biggest driver of end-of-life | Warm temps, long run times |
| Fans (evaporator/condenser) | Medium | Noise, poor cooling consistency |
| Door gaskets and hinges | Medium | Sweating, frost, food spoiling faster |
| Shelves/bins/drawers | Low | Fitment issues, cracks, rattles |
A refrigerator that runs longer to hold temperature uses more energy and wears out key parts faster. Following the spacing and airflow guidance in the 25360603413 installation guide helps the unit cool efficiently and reduces strain on the compressor and fans.
