What is the cubic foot of my Kenmore refrigerator model 2537034341H?
Kenmore refrigerator model 2537034341H is a 253.7034* series French door bottom-freezer design; units in this series are typically about 22 to 23 cubic feet. For the exact capacity for your specific color/variation, we recommend confirming it in the 2537034341H owner's manual.
We use these quick checks to verify cubic feet without guessing:
- Check the model/serial plate inside the fresh food compartment (the manual notes it is located inside the refrigerator compartment).
- Look for a “capacity” or “total capacity” line on the product label or specification section.
- Match your full model (including any color code) to the specifications section in the 2537034341H owner's manual.
- If you are measuring for storage planning, use interior shelf and bin layout as the practical guide (usable space can differ from total cu. ft.).
Most Kenmore 253-series French door bottom-freezer refrigerators land in a narrow capacity band.
| Refrigerator type | Typical total capacity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| French door bottom-freezer (Kenmore 253 series) | 22 to 23 cu. ft. | Common for standard-width cabinets |
| Larger French door models | 24 to 28 cu. ft. | Often deeper or wider footprints |
Cubic feet helps when you are comparing replacement models, planning kitchen fit, or deciding whether issues like warm temperatures are caused by overloading and blocked airflow. Keeping vents clear and doors sealing well protects cooling performance.
- Keep the toe grille area unblocked for proper air circulation.
- Replace the air filter on schedule to help control odors: refrigerator air filter EAFCBF.
- Make sure doors close squarely and gaskets seal evenly.

Why is my Kenmore refrigerator leaking underneath?
Water leaking underneath your Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 2537034341H is usually caused by a defrost drain that’s clogged or frozen, or by a water supply issue (ice maker line, inlet valve, or fittings) that drips and runs down to the floor. Use the steps below to pinpoint the source.
- Look for a puddle location: front center, left/right front corner, or under the back.
- Check the freezer floor for a sheet of ice (often points to a defrost drain problem).
- Pull the refrigerator straight out and inspect the water line loop and connections.
- Confirm the ice maker is off if you are not connected to water (per the 2537034341H installation guide).
- Inspect the drain pan underneath for cracks or overflow.
When the defrost drain backs up, meltwater can overflow inside, then run down and leak underneath.
What to do
- Unplug the refrigerator.
- Remove items and access the drain opening at the back bottom inside the fresh food section or freezer area (varies by configuration).
- Flush the drain with warm water; clear debris with a soft tube brush or pipe cleaner.
- If it refreezes quickly, check door sealing and freezer temperature.
If the unit is connected to water, leaks often come from fittings or the valve.
| Symptom | Most likely area | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Puddle near back | Water line/fittings | Loose compression nut, kinked tubing, damaged ferrule |
| Slow drip, intermittent | Inlet valve | Cracked valve body, seeping outlet, mineral buildup |
| Leak after moving | Water line loop | Not enough slack, stressed connection |
If you suspect the valve, the correct model-compatible part is the refrigerator water inlet valve assembly 242253002.
Leaks can damage flooring and can also lead to ice buildup that restricts airflow, causing warm temperatures and poor ice production.

Do they make a 34 in refrigerator?
Yes. Many manufacturers make 34-inch wide refrigerators, including bottom-freezer and French door styles. Your Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerator model 2537034341H is a different specific model; use the space you have (width, height, depth, and door swing) to choose the best 34-inch fit.
When you compare 34-inch models, we recommend checking these specs first:
- Overall width (cabinet and doors)
- Depth: standard-depth vs counter-depth
- Height (including hinges)
- Door swing clearance and drawer pull-out clearance
- Water/ice features (needs a water line)
- Ventilation clearance around the cabinet
For installation clearances, our guidance for 2537034341H includes typical minimum spacing of 3/8 inch at the sides and top and 1 inch at the back; confirm the exact requirements for any new model in its documentation. See the 2537034341H owner's manual.
| Feature | 34-inch wide | 36-inch wide |
|---|---|---|
| Fit in tighter openings | Better | May require cabinet changes |
| Interior capacity | Typically less | Typically more |
| Model selection | Fewer options | More options |
| Replacement flexibility later | Moderate | Higher |
A refrigerator that is even slightly too wide or too deep can prevent proper airflow, limit door opening, or keep drawers and freezer baskets from fully extending. Planning for clearances and door swing helps avoid return trips and installation surprises.
- Measure the opening in three places (top, middle, bottom)
- Confirm you have room to open doors fully and pull out the freezer drawer
- Check for a grounded, non-GFCI outlet and avoid extension cords
- If you want ice, confirm water supply availability
