Kenmore 25354703402 refrigerator Parts

Most Kenmore refrigerators, including model 25354703402, last 12 to 15 years with normal household use. Consistent cleaning, correct temperature settings, and good airflow around the cabinet help the sealed refrigeration system and fans run cooler and last longer (see the 25354703402 owner's manual).

A refrigerator’s life is usually limited by wear on the compressor system, fans, and door sealing.

• 12 to 15 years is the typical service life for a household refrigerator
• Poor ventilation (dusty condenser area, tight enclosure) shortens life
• Warm kitchens and frequent door openings increase run time
• Weak door gaskets cause longer run cycles and frost issues
• Skipping basic cleaning leads to overheating and noisy operation

Use these habits to reduce compressor run time and prevent common failures:

• Keep condenser area clean and free of dust
• Maintain clear airflow around the refrigerator (do not block vents)
• Set temps to 37°F to 40°F fresh food and 0°F freezer
• Make sure doors close fully and gaskets seal all the way around
• Replace the water filter on schedule if you use the dispenser (see genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WFCB)

A refrigerator that runs hot or leaks cold air works harder, which increases energy use and accelerates wear on the compressor, condenser fan, and evaporator fan. Simple airflow and sealing checks are the easiest way to protect the cooling system.

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right: the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer (the source of the design), and the remaining digits identify the specific product platform and feature variations. For your Kenmore refrigerator model 25354703402, the 253 prefix is the key identifier.

Most Kenmore model numbers follow this pattern:

• First 3 digits (prefix): manufacturer code (who built it for Kenmore)
• Middle digits: base model or platform family
• Last digits: version, color, feature package, or production variation

To confirm the exact format used on your unit, check the model/serial tag location and examples shown in the 25354703402 owner's manual.

Here is a simple way to break down 25354703402:

The prefix helps ensure you match parts to the correct design family, especially for common replacements like filters, ice maker parts, and door gaskets.

• Use the full model number when searching parts: 25354703402
• Match parts by part number and part ID when available
• For water filtration, this model family commonly uses Kenmore cartridge 46 9910 (sold as genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WFCB)
• For door sealing issues, confirm which door needs the gasket before ordering (fresh food vs freezer)
• For installation details (water line hookup, leveling), follow the 25354703402 installation guide

A single digit difference in a Kenmore model number can change the correct ice maker, water filter housing, shelving, or wiring harness. Using the full model number prevents wrong-part returns and speeds up repairs.

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25354703402, the model number is printed on the serial plate inside the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment. Open the refrigerator door and look for the rating label on an interior wall; the 25354703402 owner's manual also notes the serial plate is inside the refrigerator compartment.

• Open the refrigerator door (fresh food side), not the freezer door
• Check the side walls near the front edge
• Look in the upper interior area near the temperature control housing
• Check near the crisper drawer frame area on the side wall
• Use a flashlight; the print is often small

Record both numbers exactly as shown on the label.

This model’s Use & Care Guide references a Kenmore replacement cartridge written as “46 9910” (a common Kenmore packaging style). On the parts list for model 25354703402, you’ll typically see the same filter identified as part number 9910; one matching listing is the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WFCB.

We use the model number to ensure the correct Kenmore refrigerator parts fit your exact configuration; small model variations can change items like the water filter, door gasket, shelves, and ice maker components.

The exact exterior dimensions and total capacity for Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25354703402 are listed in the product specifications section of the 25354703402 owner's manual. For planning purposes, most 32-inch-class side-by-side refrigerators are roughly 32 to 36 inches wide, 65 to 70 inches tall, and 28 to 34 inches deep (with doors and handles).

Use these sources in this order:

• Check the specifications pages in the 25354703402 owner's manual (dimensions, capacity, electrical requirements)
• Confirm installed depth details in the 25354703402 installation guide (doors, handles, clearance)
• Measure your unit if it is already in place (cabinet vs. doors vs. handles)
• Measure the opening and delivery path (doorways, turns, stairs)
• Plan for water line routing if you use the ice maker or dispenser

Take three measurements and write them down in inches.

• Width: widest point across the front (often the doors)
• Height: floor to top of cabinet (include hinge cover if it sits higher)
• Depth (cabinet): back of cabinet to front edge, excluding doors
• Depth (installed): cabinet plus doors plus handles
• Clearance: space behind, above, and on the hinge side for airflow and door swing

Correct sizing prevents delivery problems, avoids door-swing interference, and keeps airflow around the condenser and vents where it needs to be for steady cooling.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25354703402 are not cooling well, water leaks, ice maker or dispenser trouble, and unusual noises. These issues usually come from restricted airflow (dirty coils or a fan problem), defrost system faults, or door seal and water filtration problems.

• Warm fridge or freezer: dirty condenser coils, blocked vents, evaporator fan issue, or defrost ice buildup
• Frost buildup: defrost heater, defrost thermostat, or control problem
• Water on the floor: clogged defrost drain, loose water line, or door not sealing
• Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, frozen fill path, or ice maker component failure
• Dispenser jam: ice cubes freezing together in the bin (shake bin loose; never use sharp tools)

• Verify temperature controls are set correctly and doors close fully
• Clean condenser coils; keep airflow space around the cabinet
• Check door gaskets for gaps, tears, or areas not gripping the cabinet
• If water flow is slow or tastes off, replace the filter and flush the system
• Look for visible leaks at the filter housing and water connections

Your 25354703402 manual calls out routine filter replacement; changing the filter every 6 to 9 months keeps water quality high. After replacement, flush water for about 3 minutes to purge air and refresh the tank (per the manual).

Airflow, sealing, and filtration directly control temperature stability; that prevents food spoilage, repeat ice maker failures, and nuisance leaks.

For model-specific operating and filter steps, use the 25354703402 owner's manual.
