Kenmore 25357399601 refrigerator Parts

The Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25357399601 is typically about 32 inches wide, 65-3/4 inches tall, and 26-5/8 inches deep. For the exact cabinet and clearance dimensions for your installation, confirm the measurements in the owner's manual.

• Width: 32 in.
• Height: 65-3/4 in.
• Depth: 26-5/8 in.
• Plan extra space for door swing, handles, and airflow clearance

Use a tape measure and record three numbers:

• Width: widest point of the cabinet (and then measure again including handles)
• Height: floor to top of cabinet (measure again to the top hinge cover if present)
• Depth: back of cabinet to front edge (measure again including handles)

Even if the cabinet size fits, side-by-side refrigerators need room to breathe and open fully. Tight installs can reduce cooling performance and make it harder to remove bins, shelves, and the ice container.

If doors do not close smoothly after moving the refrigerator, check for bin interference and door seal issues:

• Refrigerator gasket 241786013 (fresh food door seal)
• Refrigerator freezer gasket 241786014 (freezer door seal)

When you shop, always match parts to Kenmore 25357399601 to avoid fit issues. You can order model-matched parts from the list for this refrigerator, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

Kenmore model numbers are read left to right: the first 3 digits are the source (manufacturer) code, and the remaining digits identify the specific product design and version. For your Kenmore refrigerator model 25357399601, the 253 prefix is the key identifier we use to match the correct parts list and specifications in the 25357399601 owner's manual.

Most Kenmore refrigerators have the model and serial tag in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light
• On the door frame behind the crisper drawers
• On an interior wall near the water filter housing (if equipped)
• On the back of the cabinet (less common)

Kenmore model numbers typically follow this pattern.

The prefix helps ensure you get parts that fit your exact platform. For example, water filters, door gaskets, and ice maker components can vary by prefix even when the refrigerator looks similar.

Use these checks before you buy a replacement part:

• Match the full model number exactly (all digits)
• Use the parts list for model 25357399601 (not a “close” model)
• Compare the part description and location on the diagram
• If you are replacing the water filter, confirm the cartridge type listed in the manual
• Keep the serial number handy; it can help narrow down production changes

If you are shopping for a water filter for this refrigerator, the manual calls out Kenmore replacement cartridge 46 9910, which corresponds to the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WFCB. You can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect if you are comparing multiple filter options.

Reading the model number correctly is the fastest way to get the right Kenmore 25357399601 side-by-side refrigerator parts the first time, especially for fit-critical items like gaskets, ice maker parts, and filtration components.

Yes; for Kenmore 25357399601, replacing the ice maker is worth it when the refrigerator cools normally and you use ice regularly. An ice maker replacement is typically far less expensive than replacing the entire refrigerator, and it restores daily convenience quickly.

• Freezer temperature stays near 0°F (ice makers struggle if the freezer runs warm).
• The issue is limited to ice production or dispensing, not overall cooling.
• You already cleared bin clumps and confirmed the shutoff arm is in the ON position.
• Water flow to the dispenser is steady (slow flow points to a restriction).
• The ice maker has obvious failure signs (cracked mold, leaks, stripped gears).

Use the 25357399601 owner's manual to confirm normal operation and timing.

• Wire signal arm: Down is ON; up is OFF.
• Normal timing: Ice can start within 24 hours after proper cooling; it can take about 2 days to fill the bin with no usage.
• Clogged filter: A restricted filter can reduce ice output and cause small or hollow cubes; replace the refrigerator water filter WFCB if flow is slow.

Ice makers depend on three basics: cold freezer temperatures, steady water flow, and a clear bin/auger path. Replacing the ice maker without fixing a clogged filter or warm freezer leads to repeat problems.

If your Kenmore 25357399601 side-by-side refrigerator ice maker is not working, the most common causes are the wire shutoff arm being OFF (up), the household water valve being closed or restricted, the freezer being too warm, or a clogged water filter reducing water flow.

• Make sure the ice maker wire signal arm is down (ON).
• Confirm the household water supply valve is fully open.
• Verify the freezer is cold enough for ice production.
• Check dispenser water flow; slow flow points to a restriction.
• Clear ice clumps in the bin by removing the bin and shaking it (no sharp tools).

• If water flow is restricted, replace the refrigerator water filter WFCB (manual-referenced replacement cartridge 46 9910).
• For control locations, operating steps, and troubleshooting charts, use the 25357399601 owner's manual.
• To order model-matched parts from the parts list or search by model number, use Sears PartsDirect.

The ice maker needs steady water flow and a cold freezer. A partially closed valve, a clogged filter, or a warm freezer stops ice production and can also cause hollow cubes and dispenser jams.
