Kenmore Elite 25344723102 refrigerator Parts

For your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 25344723102, the fastest way to confirm cubic feet is to check the model and serial number plate inside the fresh food compartment (it is typically on the left interior wall) and then match the model’s listed capacity in the owner's manual.

Where to look on the refrigerator

The capacity is often listed with other specs on the rating plate or in the product specifications section of the manual.

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door
• Look on the left interior wall for the model and serial number plate
• Write down the full model number (25344723102) and serial number
• Check the specifications section in the owner's manual

How to estimate cubic feet by measuring (works for any refrigerator)

If you want a quick estimate, measure the usable interior space and convert cubic inches to cubic feet.

• Measure interior height (inches)
• Measure interior width (inches)
• Measure interior depth (inches)
• Multiply: height × width × depth = cubic inches
• Divide by 1,728 to get cubic feet

Quick conversion table

What you have	What to do	Result
Interior measurements in inches	H × W × D	Cubic inches
Cubic inches	Divide by 1,728	Cubic feet

Tips so your estimate is realistic

Interior measurements can be misleading if you include areas you cannot actually use.

• Measure to the inside liner, not the door gasket
• Do not include space taken up by the evaporator cover, light housing, or air ducts
• Measure shelf-to-shelf only if you want usable space (not total cavity)
• If you have a freezer section, measure it separately and add the two results

Why it matters

Knowing cubic feet helps you compare refrigerator sizes, choose correctly sized replacement bins and shelves, and plan food storage. It also helps when you are checking installation clearances and airflow requirements listed in the owner's manual.

Common problems we see with the Kenmore Elite 25344723102 refrigerator are no-cool or warm temperatures, running too long, moisture or frost buildup, door-closing and sealing issues, odors, and rattling or vibrating noise. Many of these trace back to airflow, door seal, or defrost-related conditions described in the owner's manual.

Most common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Refrigerator not running: loose plug, tripped breaker, blown fuse, or temperature control set to OFF
• Runs too much/too long: frequent door openings, warm food load, door slightly open, or a worn/dirty gasket
• Moisture inside or outside: humid conditions plus a door that is not sealing well
• Odors: interior needs cleaning or uncovered strong-smelling foods
• Vibrating/rattling: unit not level or touching a wall

Quick checks we recommend first (no tools)

1. Confirm the temperature control is not set to OFF; then allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize.
2. Make sure doors close fully and are not being held open by bins or shelves.
3. Clean and inspect the door gasket; leaks make the refrigerator run longer and can cause moisture.
4. Level the refrigerator so it does not rock; also pull it slightly away from the wall if it is touching.
5. If the unit was recently unplugged or had a power outage, give it about 4 hours to cool down completely.

Parts that commonly relate to these problems

If your checks point to a worn seal or a defrost/cooling airflow issue, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:

Symptom	Common area	Example part for this model
Warm temps, long run time, moisture	Door sealing	Refrigerator door gasket (black) 5304507206
Frost buildup, warming, poor airflow	Defrost system	Defrost timer 5304518034
Warm temps, weak airflow, noise	Evaporator fan area	Motor 297309000

Why it matters

A small air leak at the door gasket or a leveling issue can look like a “cooling failure” because it forces longer run times, adds moisture, and can lead to frost or temperature swings. Fixing the basic conditions first prevents unnecessary part replacement.

A Kenmore Elite refrigerator like model 25344723102 typically lasts 10 to 15 years. Regular maintenance (cleaning, good airflow, and tight door seals) helps you reach the upper end of that range and reduces the chance of costly sealed-system problems.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

Most refrigerators in this class land in the 10 to 15 year window. The biggest factors that move lifespan up or down are:

• Condenser coil cleanliness (dust buildup makes the compressor run hotter and longer)
• Door seal condition (air leaks force longer run times)
• Ventilation and loading (blocked vents and overpacking reduce cooling efficiency)
• Temperature control settings (too cold can increase run time and frost)
• Power interruptions and moving/transport (can stress the compressor and tubing)

For model-specific use and care practices, follow the maintenance and operating guidance in the owner's manual.

Maintenance checklist that extends life

We recommend these habits because they directly reduce run time and moisture buildup:

• Keep the refrigerator level so the door closes tightly.
• Avoid overcrowding and do not block cold air vents.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry to reduce interior moisture.
• Reduce door openings by organizing and grabbing items in one trip.
• If storing the unit for months, unplug, clean, dry, and prop the door open to prevent odors and mold.

Quick “repair vs. replace” guide

Use age plus symptom severity to decide your next step.

If your refrigerator is…	And you notice…	Usually makes sense to…
Under ~10 years	Minor issues (seal leaks, bins, shelves)	Repair/replace parts
10 to 15 years	Repeated cooling problems	Diagnose carefully before investing
Over ~15 years	Major cooling failure or sealed-system symptoms	Consider replacement after diagnosis

A worn door seal is a common, fixable issue that can improve performance; see refrigerator door gasket (black) 5304507206 if your gasket is torn, warped, or not sealing.

Why it matters

Lifespan is mostly about compressor workload. Anything that increases heat load or air leaks makes the sealed refrigeration system run longer, which accelerates wear and raises energy use.

Your refrigerator’s model is 25344723102 (Kenmore Elite). You’ll find the model and serial number on the serial plate located on the left inside wall of the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment; match that number to order the correct Kenmore parts.

Where to find the model and serial number plate

Check these common locations on Kenmore Elite refrigerators like model 25344723102:

• Left wall inside the refrigerator compartment (most common)
• Inside the refrigerator compartment near the crisper area (look along the side walls)
• Behind the toe grille or kick plate at the bottom front (on some configurations)
• On the inside cabinet wall, not on removable shelves or drawers

For the exact location and what the label looks like, use the owner's manual.

How to read the model number correctly

Kenmore Elite model numbers are easy to misread on the tag. Use these tips:

• Write the model number exactly as printed (include all digits)

• Record the serial number too; it helps identify production details for service
• Take a clear photo of the label before ordering parts

Quick check table

What you need	Where it’s found	Why it’s important

Serial number	Same serial plate	Helps match the correct configuration
Purchase date (optional)	Your records	Useful for maintenance planning

Why it matters

Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong items (for example, a door bin, door gasket, or temperature control that looks similar but mounts differently). Once you confirm 25344723102, you can confidently choose compatible refrigerator parts and diagrams.
