Your Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25357388600 has its exact cubic-foot capacity listed on the serial/rating plate inside the fresh food compartment; that plate is the most accurate source for your specific unit. We also recommend confirming the spec in the 25357388600 owner's manual.

• Check the serial/rating plate inside the refrigerator compartment (usually on a side wall). Write down the listed capacity.
• Use the model number (25357388600) to match specs in the 25357388600 owner's manual.
• If the label is hard to read, clean it with soap and water only so the print stays intact.
• If you are measuring for fit, also confirm overall dimensions in the 25357388600 installation guide.

The rating plate is inside the refrigerator compartment. Record these items so you can match the correct specs and parts:

• Model number: 25357388600
• Serial number
• Purchase date (helpful for service history)

Cubic feet is used to compare storage space across refrigerators, but it is also a practical check for kitchen planning and organization. Using the rating plate avoids mix-ups when similar Kenmore 253-series models have different capacities.

Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators weigh about 250 to 320 lb empty; for Kenmore model 25357388600, use the exact shipping or net weight listed in the 25357388600 owner's manual or the 25357388600 installation guide when you need a precise number for moving or delivery.

Side-by-side refrigerator weight varies mainly by cabinet size, dispenser/ice maker hardware, and insulation.

• Counter-depth units often run 220 to 280 lb
• Standard-depth units often run 260 to 340 lb
• Built-in ice and water features can add 10 to 25 lb
• Packaging and pallet can add 30 to 80 lb to shipping weight

Knowing the correct weight helps prevent floor damage and injuries, and it ensures you plan the right equipment and help for the job.

• Empty food, remove bins and shelves, and tape doors shut
• Disconnect power; then disconnect the water supply line (if equipped)
• Use an appliance dolly with straps; keep the unit as upright as possible
• Measure doorways and turns; side-by-sides are wide and hard to pivot
• If the refrigerator was laid down, let it stand upright before plugging in (follow the timing in the manual)

If your refrigerator has an internal filter and dispenser setup, those components add weight and can be damaged if the unit tips.

• Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WFCB (cartridge 46 9910 referenced in the manual)

For Kenmore model 25357388600, the model number is the full identifier we use to match the correct refrigerator parts and documentation; the first three digits (253) are the source/manufacturer prefix, and the remaining digits identify the exact design and version.

On most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators, the model and serial tag is typically located in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling area inside the fresh food compartment
• Along the door frame (hinge side)
• Behind the toe grille (lower front)
• On the back of the cabinet (less common for daily access)

For diagrams and the exact tag location callouts for this unit, use the 25357388600 owner's manual.

Kenmore model numbers are usually structured as a prefix + model identifier + suffix/version.

Using the complete model number prevents mismatches, especially for parts that vary by revision. Common examples include:

• Refrigerator water filter style and housing
• Ice maker and dispenser components
• Door bins, crisper pans, and shelf supports
• Gaskets and trim pieces
• Electrical items such as light bulbs and thermostats

If you are replacing the water filter on this model, the manual calls out the Kenmore replacement cartridge 46 9910, which matches the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WFCB.

A single missing digit can point to a different parts list, which can lead to ordering a door gasket, ice maker part, or filter that does not fit. Matching 25357388600 exactly keeps your repair accurate the first time.

To replace the ice maker in your Kenmore 25357388600 side-by-side refrigerator, we shut off power, stop ice production, remove the ice bin, disconnect the ice maker wiring and water fill tube, then install the new ice maker and restore water and power. Use the steps in the 25357388600 installation guide for safe water-line handling.

• Unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker).
• Lift the ice maker wire signal arm to the OFF (up) position.
• Remove the ice container by lifting up and out.
• Protect the floor with towels; a small amount of water is normal.
• Confirm your household water pressure is 30 to 100 psi.
• Use the right tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver.

1. Remove the ice bin and clear any ice chips from the chute area.
2. Remove the ice maker mounting screws and gently pull the ice maker forward.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness plug.
4. Disconnect the fill tube (if your design uses a tube at the rear of the ice maker).
5. Install the replacement ice maker: reconnect fill tube and wiring, then secure mounting screws.
6. Lower the wire signal arm to ON (down) and restore power.
7. Run a few harvest cycles; discard the first batch of ice.

If you need to reconnect the supply line at the inlet valve, we follow these best practices from the installation instructions:

• Flush the supply line into a bucket until water runs clear.
• Use 1/4-inch (6.4 mm) OD copper tubing when applicable.
• Slide the brass compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the tubing.
• Insert the tubing fully into the valve inlet (about 1/4 inch) and tighten carefully.
• Do not use a self-piercing shutoff valve.

A correct install prevents slow leaks at the inlet valve, protects the dispenser area from ice jams, and helps the new ice maker fill properly so you get full-size cubes.

Related part (if you are servicing the ice bucket area): If your ice bin is cracked or won’t seat after realigning the auger, replace the ice container 241860803.

The SY EF code on a Kenmore refrigerator indicates a problem the control detects in the evaporator fan circuit (the fan that moves cold air through the freezer and into the fresh food section). On model 25357388600, start with the reset and airflow checks in the 25357388600 owner's manual.

• Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then plug it back in.
• Confirm both doors close fully and nothing is holding them open.
• Make sure interior air vents are not blocked by food packages.
• Set both temperature controls to the center position; wait 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
• Listen for the evaporator fan when the compressor is running (you should hear airflow in the freezer).

If the fan blade is cracked, warped, or rubbing, replacing the refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010 restores proper airflow.

The evaporator fan is what distributes cold air. When the control senses the fan is not operating correctly, temperatures can rise, frost can build up, and food can spoil.

• SY EF returns immediately after a reset
• Heavy frost covers the freezer back wall
• Temperatures stay unsafe after 24 hours at the center settings

Use the 25357388600 owner's manual for model-specific access steps and control settings.

For Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25357388600, the exact exterior dimensions are listed in the 25357388600 owner's manual. Most units in this series are built to fit a standard 33-inch-wide opening, so confirming width, height, and depth before delivery or cabinet changes prevents clearance and door-swing problems.

We recommend checking the specification section in the manual and then measuring your installation space.

• Check the width, height, and depth listed for model 25357388600
• Measure your cabinet opening in three spots (top, middle, bottom)
• Allow clearance for door swing and drawer pull-out
• Account for rear space for the water line and power cord
• Include hinges and handles in the depth measurement if the manual specifies them

Use a tape measure and write down these numbers before ordering parts or planning a move.

A side-by-side refrigerator needs enough room for airflow and full door opening. If the opening is tight, even a small difference in depth (especially with handles) can cause rubbing doors, poor leveling, or difficult filter and bin access.

If you are planning a tight install, these parts are commonly handled during moves or re-leveling:

• Door sealing and alignment issues often show up as gasket gaps (see refrigerator gasket 241786013 and refrigerator freezer gasket 241786014)
• Interior access changes if bins or drawers are removed and reinstalled
• Water line routing can affect how close the cabinet sits to the wall

Most Kenmore refrigerators average 10 to 15 years of service life; for a Kenmore side-by-side like model 25357388600, regular maintenance and quick fixes (seals, airflow, clean coils) are what most often determine whether it reaches the high end of that range. See the maintenance and care guidance in the 25357388600 owner's manual.

A refrigerator’s life is usually driven by compressor run time, heat removal, and how well the doors seal.

• 10 to 15 years is the normal expectation for a household refrigerator
• Heavy use (frequent door openings, warm garage installs) shortens life
• Poor airflow (blocked vents, dirty condenser area) increases wear
• Weak door gaskets cause longer run times and temperature swings
• Water and ice features add components that need periodic service (filter, dispenser, ice maker)

These are the highest-impact habits we recommend for Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators:

• Keep door seals clean and closing tightly; replace if torn or warped
• Maintain stable temperatures (avoid frequent control changes)
• Keep interior vents clear so the evaporator fan can circulate air
• Replace the water filter on schedule to protect the water system
• Address frost buildup or warm temperatures early (before the unit runs nonstop)

For this model, the correct filter is the refrigerator water filter WFCB (Kenmore replacement cartridge 46 9910 is referenced in the manual).

A refrigerator that runs longer to hold temperature uses more energy and puts extra load on sealed-system components (like the compressor). Simple upkeep, especially sealing and airflow, is the difference between “average life” and “early failure.”

On Kenmore refrigerator model 25357388600, the model and serial number are printed on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. We recommend writing them down exactly as shown before ordering parts or scheduling service; see the 25357388600 owner's manual.

Check these common locations first (in this order):

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (often upper area)
• Inside the refrigerator compartment near the crisper area (side wall behind or beside drawers)
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment (less common)
• Behind the toe grille or kick plate area (some designs)
• On the cabinet frame near the door hinge area (door open)

Copy the information exactly, including any leading numbers.

• Model number (for this unit, it starts with 253)
• Serial number
• Purchase date (if you still have it)

Kenmore refrigerators can look similar across multiple model families. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct parts (like a water filter, door gasket, or ice maker components) and avoid returns due to fit issues.

If the label is dirty, clean it gently with soap and water only (harsh cleaners can damage the printing), then re-check the numbers.
