Kenmore 25374872400 refrigerator Parts

Your Kenmore refrigerator model 25374872400 has a specific cubic-foot capacity listed on its model and serial plate inside the fresh food compartment; that rating plate is the most accurate way to match your exact configuration. We also list key specs in the owner's manual.

Fast ways to find the cubic feet (most accurate first)

• Check the rating plate inside the refrigerator compartment (typically on a side wall); it lists the model/serial information and often includes capacity details.
• Look up the specifications section in the owner's manual for model 25374872400.
• Measure and estimate only if you cannot access the plate or manual (useful for a rough check, not for ordering parts).
• If you are comparing sizes for fit, confirm overall dimensions and door swing clearance in the manual before moving the refrigerator.

Quick estimate method (for a rough capacity check)

If you want a ballpark number, estimate interior volume and convert to cubic feet.

1. Measure the usable interior of the fresh food section and freezer (width x height x depth).
2. Convert cubic inches to cubic feet.

What you measure	Multiply	Then divide by
Interior width x height x depth (inches)	Fresh food + freezer	1,728

Example: (W x H x D) in inches = cubic inches; cubic inches ÷ 1,728 = cubic feet.

Why it matters

Capacity can vary by configuration (shelves, ice maker setup, liner design), so using the rating plate or manual avoids mistakes when comparing models, planning kitchen fit, or matching accessories.

Parts note (related to model identification)

When you use the rating plate to confirm the exact model, it also helps you order the correct replacement parts for 25374872400, such as the refrigerator light bulb 316538904 if your interior light is out.

You can order parts from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Most Kenmore refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life. For your Kenmore 25374872400 top-mount refrigerator, lifespan depends most on airflow at the condenser, tight door sealing, and keeping the cooling system clean; our 25374872400 owner's manual covers the care basics that protect long-term reliability.

Typical lifespan ranges (what to expect)

A refrigerator’s life is usually limited by the sealed system (compressor, evaporator, condenser) and the cooling airflow parts (fans, coils, door gaskets).

• 10 to 15 years: typical for most household refrigerators
• 15+ years: common when coils are kept clean and doors seal tightly
• Earlier failures: more likely with poor ventilation, dirty coils, or chronic door seal leaks

Quick reference table

Component or condition	What it affects	What you can do
Condenser coil cleanliness	Compressor run time and heat removal	Vacuum/brush coils regularly
Door gasket condition	Frost, temperature stability, energy use	Clean and check for gaps; replace if torn
Fan airflow (evaporator/condenser)	Even cooling, noise, warm spots	Clear vents; address unusual fan noise
Temperature settings	Food safety and compressor cycling	Keep steady, mid-range settings

Maintenance that extends life the most

These steps prevent the most common wear issues in top-mount refrigerators.

• Clean dust from the condenser area so heat can escape efficiently.
• Keep food packages from blocking interior air vents.
• Wipe door gaskets and confirm the doors close without resistance.
• Replace failed interior lighting promptly to avoid heat and socket damage (use the correct bulb).
• Fix water leaks or puddles quickly to prevent corrosion and ice buildup.

Parts that commonly impact longevity on this model

If you are seeing symptoms (warm fridge, frost buildup, sweating around the door), these parts often matter.

• Door sealing issues: consider a matching refrigerator gasket 242193213 if your gasket is torn, warped, or no longer sealing.
• Cooling airflow issues: a damaged fan blade can reduce airflow; check the refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer to hold temperature wears the compressor faster and can shorten overall lifespan. Simple upkeep (airflow, seals, clean coils) reduces run time, stabilizes temperatures, and helps your Kenmore 25374872400 reach the full 10 to 15 year range.
