Kenmore Refrigerator 25357399601 FAQs

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.

Quick size specs (typical)
  • Width: 32 in.
  • Height: 65-3/4 in.
  • Depth: 26-5/8 in.
  • Plan extra space for door swing, handles, and airflow clearance
How to measure your refrigerator correctly

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)
Why clearances matter

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.

Common “size” terms (what they mean)
Term What it includes Why it changes
Cabinet width/height/depth Main refrigerator box Best for fitting into an opening
Overall depth Cabinet plus doors/handles Often the number that causes tight fits
Clearance Space around the unit Helps airflow and door swing
Parts that can affect fit and door closing

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

Ordering parts by model

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.

Where to find the model number on a refrigerator

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)
How the Kenmore model number is structured

Kenmore model numbers typically follow this pattern.

Section Example from 25357399601 What it tells you
Prefix (first 3 digits) 253 Source (manufacturer) code used for parts lookup
Base model + variation 57399601 Design family, features, and production variation
Why the prefix matters

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.

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

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
Common example for this model

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.

Why it matters

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.

Quick decision checklist
  • 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).
What to check first (often fixes “bad ice maker” symptoms)

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.
Repair vs. replace guide
Symptom Replace ice maker? Best first step
No ice, freezer is cold Yes Replace ice maker assembly/mold
Small or hollow cubes Not yet Check water flow; replace filter
Dispenser jams, cubes clump Not yet Empty, clean, dry bin; break up clumps
Freezer too warm for food No Fix cooling problem first
Why it matters

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.

You can order model-matched parts from the parts list for Kenmore 25357399601, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

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.

Quick checks (fastest fixes first)
  • 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).
What to do based on what you see
Symptom Likely cause Next step
No ice at all Ice maker OFF or no water supply Turn arm ON; open water valve
Dispenser water is slow Clogged filter or low pressure Replace filter; confirm 30 to 100 psi
Small or hollow cubes Restricted water flow Open valve fully; replace filter
Bin jammed with fused cubes Infrequent use or power outage Remove bin and shake cubes loose
Parts and resources that help
Why it matters

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.
