KitchenAid KSRJ25FXMS02 refrigerator Parts

Yes. KitchenAid makes 33-inch wide refrigerators in multiple configurations (commonly French door and bottom freezer). Your KitchenAid KSRJ25FXMS02 is a side-by-side model, and 33-inch width is a common “narrower standard” size used when cabinet space is limited.

How to confirm the width that fits your space

We recommend measuring your opening and comparing it to the refrigerator’s published dimensions (including doors and handles) before you buy.

• Measure the cabinet opening width at the front and back
• Allow clearance for door swing and handle depth
• Check height clearance to the top cabinet or soffit
• Confirm depth clearance for doors to open fully
• Plan airflow space behind and above the refrigerator

What “33-inch wide” usually means

Most 33-inch models are designed to fit a 33-inch cabinet opening, but the actual refrigerator width can vary slightly by model and trim.

What you’re measuring	Typical range for “33-inch” class	Why it varies
Cabinet opening	33 in	Standard kitchen cutout size
Refrigerator case width	About 32 3/4 to 33 in	Hinges, trim, leveling feet
Width with doors/handles	Wider than the case	Handle style and door design

For model-specific dimension and clearance guidance, use the KSRJ25FXMS02 owner's manual.

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is even slightly too wide can bind in the opening, reduce airflow (hurting cooling performance), or prevent doors from opening far enough to slide out shelves and bins.

Related maintenance tip for your current KitchenAid refrigerator

If your KSRJ25FXMS02 has a water dispenser or ice maker, keeping filtration current helps protect water flow and taste. Our step-by-step guide, how to replace the water filter in a KitchenAid refrigerator, walks through the process.

For KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerators like model KSRJ25FXMS02, the most common issues we see are ice maker and water dispenser problems and cooling complaints (warm fridge, frost buildup, or noisy operation). These symptoms often trace back to airflow, defrost, or water-supply components and basic maintenance.

Most common symptoms customers notice

• Ice maker stops making ice or makes small/hollow cubes
• Water dispenser flow is slow or tastes off
• Refrigerator section warms up while freezer seems OK
• Frost builds up on the freezer back wall
• Unusual fan noise or rattling from the freezer area

Quick checks that solve many “common problems”

1. Confirm temperatures: set freezer near 0°F and fresh food near 37°F (typical targets for most refrigerators).
2. Replace the water filter if flow is slow or taste is off; a clogged filter can also reduce ice production. See refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1.
3. Listen for the evaporator fan in the freezer; if airflow is weak or noisy, cooling performance drops. (Related parts include refrigerator evaporator fan WPW10236142 and refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142.)
4. Check for defrost trouble: heavy frost usually points to a defrost system issue (heater, thermostat, or control). One common component is refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat WPW10225581.
5. Inspect the water supply: kinked line, low house pressure, or a failing valve can cause weak dispensing and poor ice fill. A common part is refrigerator water inlet valve WPW10179146.

Common problem areas and what they usually cause

Problem area	Typical symptom	Common next step
Water filter / water supply	Slow water, small cubes, no ice	Replace filter; purge air; verify supply
Evaporator fan / airflow	Warm fridge, uneven temps, noise	Check fan operation; clear ice obstruction
Defrost system	Frost buildup, warm fridge, fan hitting ice	Diagnose heater/thermostat/control
Controls / sensors	Temps swing, intermittent cooling	Check settings; diagnose control circuit

Why it matters

Ice maker and cooling problems can look “random,” but they usually come from one system affecting another. For example, restricted airflow or frost buildup can warm the fresh-food section, and restricted water flow can reduce both dispensing and ice production.

Helpful references for this model

• Use the KSRJ25FXMS02 manual for control settings, temperature guidance, and model-specific component locations.

The model number for your KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerator is printed on the appliance’s model and serial tag. On most KitchenAid side-by-side models like KSRJ25FXMS02, that tag is inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment along the side wall or near the top.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the refrigerator (fresh food) door and check the left and right interior walls
• Look near the ceiling of the fresh food compartment, behind the top shelf area
• Check around the crisper drawer frame area (sometimes the tag is lower)
• If you do not see it, check the freezer compartment side wall
• Look for a label that says Model and Serial

What the label looks like

The tag is usually a white or silver sticker or plate with multiple lines of text.

You’ll see	What it means	Why you need it
Model number	Identifies the exact refrigerator version	Ensures diagrams and parts match your unit
Serial number	Identifies your specific build	Helps confirm production series for correct parts
Electrical ratings	Volts/amps	Useful for service and troubleshooting

Tips to make sure you read it correctly

• Write the model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers)
• Take a clear photo of the tag before ordering parts
• If the label is worn, use a flashlight and view from an angle to make the print stand out

Why it matters

KitchenAid refrigerators often have similar-looking doors, shelves, and controls across multiple models. Using the exact model number (KSRJ25FXMS02) prevents ordering the wrong items such as a refrigerator water filter EDR3RXD1 or electronic control.

For model tag location details and parts identification, use the KSRJ25FXMS02 owner's manual.
