What size is a Kenmore 25370413410 refrigerator?
The Kenmore 25370413410 bottom-mount refrigerator is typically about 32 inches wide, 65-3/4 inches tall, and 26-5/8 inches deep, with an approximate 16.7 cu. ft. capacity. For the exact clearance and leveling requirements for your kitchen, use the 25370413410 installation guide.
- Width: about 32 in.
- Height: about 65-3/4 in.
- Depth: about 26-5/8 in. (cabinet depth; handles can add more)
- Capacity: about 16.7 cu. ft.
- Clearance: allow extra space for door swing and airflow at the toe grille
| What you’re measuring | What to include | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Width | cabinet plus any side clearance | prevents door rub and improves ventilation |
| Height | cabinet height plus top clearance | avoids binding under cabinets |
| Depth | cabinet depth plus handle depth | ensures it fits your walkway and counter line |
| Door swing | space in front and to the side | lets drawers and doors open fully |
- Measure the opening width, height, and depth in three spots (top, middle, bottom).
- Add clearance for door swing and for pulling out shelves and freezer drawer.
- Confirm the refrigerator can be moved in; door removal steps and handling notes are covered in the 25370413410 owner’s manual.
A refrigerator that is tight in the opening can run warmer, be noisier, and have sealing issues. Proper clearance and leveling help the doors and freezer drawer gasket seal evenly, which protects food temperatures and reduces frost.

What does DH mean on Kenmore Elite refrigerator?
On Kenmore refrigerators like model 25370413410, dH commonly indicates a defrost-heater related condition (the unit is not completing defrost as expected). Start by power-cycling the refrigerator, then check for heavy frost on the evaporator cover and confirm the doors are sealing properly using the 25370413410 owner's manual.
- Unplug the refrigerator (or turn off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power.
- Look for symptoms of a defrost problem: warming fresh food section, weak airflow, or a frost blanket on the rear freezer panel.
- Make sure the doors close fully and the gasket is not torn, folded, or dirty.
- Confirm vents are not blocked by food packages.
- If the display returns to normal but cooling is still weak, keep monitoring temperatures for 12 to 24 hours.
If dH returns, these checks usually narrow it down:
| What you notice | Most likely area | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy frost on freezer back wall | Defrost system not clearing frost | Inspect defrost heater circuit and defrost sensor; clear ice buildup after unplugging |
| No unusual frost, but temps drift warm | Airflow or control issue | Check evaporator fan operation and temperature sensing |
| Door not sealing, moisture inside | Air leak at door | Inspect/replace gasket if it will not seal evenly |
We match parts to the symptom so you replace only what is needed:
- If the door is not sealing: consider the refrigerator door gasket 5304537408.
- If airflow is weak or noisy: inspect the evaporator fan blade and fan area for ice.
- If temperatures are erratic: a sensor issue is possible.
A defrost-heater related dH condition can let frost build up on the evaporator, which blocks airflow. That makes the refrigerator run longer, warm up, and can lead to poor ice production and food spoilage.

Why is my Kenmore refrigerator leaking underneath?
If your Kenmore refrigerator model 25370413410 is leaking underneath, the most common causes are a clogged defrost drain (water overflows and runs to the floor), a cracked or overflowing drain pan, or a loose water supply connection. Start by checking for leaks at the water line and then clear the drain path.
- Look for water at the back of the fresh food compartment; that often points to a defrost drain issue.
- Inspect the drain pan underneath for cracks, misalignment, or overflow.
- Check the house water supply connection and tubing for slow drips.
- Confirm the refrigerator is level; poor leveling can cause water to miss the drain pan.
- If the unit was stored or moved in freezing temperatures, drain the water system before restarting to prevent leaks.
A clogged or frozen defrost drain can send defrost water down into the cabinet and out onto the floor.
- Unplug the refrigerator.
- Remove items blocking access to the rear bottom area inside the fresh food section.
- Locate the drain opening and flush it with warm water (a turkey baster works well).
- Use a flexible pipe cleaner to break up sludge.
- Verify water flows freely to the drain pan underneath.
For model-specific access points and panels, follow the 25370413410 owner's manual.
| Where you find water | Most likely cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Under the front center | Defrost drain overflow | Clear drain, confirm flow to pan |
| Under the back | Water line or inlet connection drip | Tighten fittings, inspect tubing |
| Under the unit after heavy use | Drain pan overflow or shifted | Re-seat pan, clean and recheck |
| Near doors | Door not sealing, excess frost then defrost water | Check gasket and door alignment |
If you confirm the leak is tied to filtration or odor control components, these model-matched parts are common service items:
- Kenmore refrigerator water filter 9999 (leaks can occur if the filter is not fully seated)
- Refrigerator water filter housing 242009604 (cracks or O-ring issues can drip)
- Refrigerator door gasket 5304537408 (poor sealing can lead to frost buildup and excess defrost water)
Water under a refrigerator can damage flooring and can also indicate airflow or defrost drainage problems that lead to ice buildup and warmer temperatures. Fixing the drain path and stopping small drips early prevents repeat leaks.
