How many cubic feet is my Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25352649305 has its exact cubic-foot capacity listed on the model and serial (rating) plate inside the fresh food compartment, and it may also be shown in the specifications section of the 25352649305 owner's manual. Use those two sources for the most accurate number for your exact configuration.
Where to find the capacity on model 25352649305
Check these spots first (fastest to most detailed):
- Rating plate inside the refrigerator compartment: this is the most reliable place for the official capacity.
- Specifications section in the manual: look for “capacity” or “total volume” in cubic feet.
- Product label wording: some versions list separate fresh food and freezer volumes.
- Parts list context: helpful for identifying the exact model, but it typically does not list cubic feet.
Quick steps to confirm the number
- Open the fresh food (refrigerator) door.
- Locate the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment.
- Write down the model number and serial number.
- In the 25352649305 owner's manual, check the specs section for cu. ft. capacity.
Typical capacity range (for context)
If you need a planning estimate (cabinet fit, moving, storage planning), most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators of this style commonly fall in this range:
| Refrigerator type | Typical total capacity range |
|---|---|
| Side-by-side refrigerator | About 20 to 26 cu. ft. |
Why it matters
Cubic-foot capacity helps us match the right shelves, bins, and airflow expectations for your refrigerator. It also helps when comparing storage space after replacing door bins, crisper pans, or other interior components.
If you are also tracking water and ice performance, the manual notes the filter system details and replacement interval; for filter selection and change steps, we recommend how to replace the water filter in a Kenmore refrigerator.

What are the most common problems with Kenmore refrigerators?
The most common issues we see with the Kenmore 25352649305 side-by-side refrigerator are ice maker and dispenser jams, weak cooling from airflow or dirty condenser conditions, water leaks, and frost buildup tied to the defrost system or door sealing. Your owner's manual also lists several quick checks that solve many “no cool” and “runs too long” complaints.
Common problems (and what to check first)
- Ice maker or ice dispenser not working or jammed: Ice can melt and refreeze into clumps after a power outage or low use; remove the bin and shake cubes loose (do not use sharp tools).
- Refrigerator not cooling well or running too long: Check that controls are not set to OFF (“0”), doors are closing fully, and the condenser is clean.
- Water leaking or puddles: Look for a loose water line connection, a cracked reservoir, or a door left slightly open causing excess frost and meltwater.
- Noisy operation: Fan noise often points to airflow issues or ice buildup; compressor run time increases when doors are opened frequently.
- Water dispenser problems (slow flow, bad taste): A clogged filter is a top cause; replace the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB on schedule.
- Frost buildup: Commonly caused by warm air leaks at the door gasket or a defrost problem.
Quick symptom-to-likely-cause guide
| Symptom | Most likely cause | Good first action |
|---|---|---|
| Ice won’t dispense | Cubes frozen together in bin | Empty bin, break up clumps by hand, reload |
| Runs constantly | Door slightly open, dirty condenser, frequent door openings | Confirm door seal, clean condenser area |
| Warm fridge section | Control set wrong, airflow blocked | Verify settings, clear vents |
| Water tastes off | Filter overdue | Replace filter, flush system |
Parts that commonly solve these issues
These are frequently replaced items for this model when symptoms match:
- Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB (clogs cause slow water and poor taste)
- Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214 (defrost-related frost and warm temps)
- Refrigerator gasket 241786014 (air leaks cause frost and long run times)
- Refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 (airflow and noise symptoms)
Why it matters
Most “not cooling” and “ice/water problems” trace back to airflow, door sealing, or filtration. Fixing those early helps prevent long compressor run times, temperature swings, and recurring frost that can block vents.

How to replace an ice maker in a side by side refrigerator?
To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore 25352649305 side-by-side refrigerator, we shut off power, remove the ice bin, disconnect the ice maker wiring and fill tube connection, swap in the new unit, then restore power and water and turn the ice maker back on.
Before you start
- Unplug the refrigerator or switch off the breaker.
- Turn off the household water supply shutoff valve.
- Lift the wire signal arm to the up/OFF position.
- Have a Phillips screwdriver and a nut driver or socket set ready.
- Keep towels handy for small water drips.
For model-specific access and diagrams, use the 25352649305 owner's manual.
Step-by-step replacement overview
- Remove the ice container by lifting up and out.
- Remove the ice maker cover (if equipped) and mounting screws.
- Unplug the ice maker wire harness/connector.
- Disconnect the water fill tube or inlet connection at the ice maker.
- Transfer any identical parts from the old unit (wire signal arm, cover, bracket) to the replacement.
- Mount the new ice maker, reconnect the fill tube and wiring, then reinstall the bin.
Restore operation and test
- Turn the water supply back on and check all connections for leaks.
- Reconnect power.
- Lower the wire signal arm to the down/ON position.
- Discard the first batch of ice; early cubes can be discolored or taste odd after plumbing is disturbed.
Quick troubleshooting checks
| Symptom | What to check | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No ice | Wire arm up/OFF | Lower to down/ON |
| No fill | Shutoff valve closed | Open valve fully |
| Small cubes | Low water flow | Check for kinks, confirm 20 to 100 psi supply |
| Jams | Clumped ice in bin | Empty and dry the bin |
Why it matters
A secure mount and leak-free water connection prevents water damage and helps the ice maker cycle normally for consistent cube production.
