Kenmore 25363712302 refrigerator Parts

The Kenmore 25363712302 is a top-mount refrigerator (not a standalone freezer), and its exact cubic-foot capacity is listed on the model’s specification information in the owner's manual. Use the capacity value shown for “total,” “refrigerator,” and “freezer” to confirm storage space.

How to find the cubic feet for model 25363712302

Check these common places first:

• The specifications section in the owner's manual
• The model and serial plate inside the fresh food compartment (often near the upper wall or side wall)
• Any product label that lists “capacity” in cubic feet (cu. ft.)

What you will typically see

Most top-mount refrigerators list capacity in a few ways:

Capacity label	What it means
Total capacity	Combined refrigerator + freezer space
Refrigerator capacity	Fresh food compartment only
Freezer capacity	Top freezer compartment only

Why the “253” prefix does not tell you cubic feet

For Kenmore model numbers that start with 253, the prefix helps identify the manufacturing source and product family, but it does not reliably encode the exact cubic-foot size. Capacity varies by the specific design, insulation thickness, and interior layout.

Why it matters

Knowing the correct cubic feet helps when comparing replacement appliances, planning food storage, and choosing interior parts that match your layout (such as a crisper drawer or shelf components).

Kenmore refrigerators typically last 12 to 15 years with normal household use. For your Kenmore 25363712302 top-mount refrigerator, regular care like keeping airflow clear and maintaining a tight door seal helps you reach (and sometimes exceed) that average; see the owner's manual for model-specific care and operating guidance.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

A refrigerator’s life depends more on operating conditions and maintenance than the badge on the door.

• Condenser coil cleanliness (dust buildup makes the sealed system work harder)
• Door gasket condition (warm air leaks increase run time and frost)
• Power quality (voltage swings can stress the compressor)
• Air circulation around the cabinet (restricted airflow raises operating temps)
• Usage habits (frequent door openings, overpacking that blocks vents)

Quick “repair vs. replace” guide

Use this as a practical rule-of-thumb when deciding what to do next.

If your fridge is...	Usually makes sense to...	Why
Under ~8 years old	Repair	Most failures are isolated parts and worth fixing
8 to 15 years old	Compare repair cost vs. condition	This is the common “decision window”
Over ~15 years old	Replace more often	Efficiency and major sealed-system risk increase

Maintenance that extends life (high impact)

These steps reduce compressor run time and help prevent cooling complaints.

• Vacuum and brush dust from the condenser area on a routine schedule
• Keep food from blocking interior air vents so cold air can circulate
• Confirm doors close fully and don’t pop open after loading
• Avoid running the unit on a wall switch circuit; accidental shutoff can cause temperature swings
• If the door doesn’t seal well, follow how to fix a fridge door seal and replace the gasket if needed (a worn gasket is a common life-shortener)

Why it matters

Longer run times from dirty coils, poor airflow, or a leaking gasket increase wear on the compressor and sealed refrigeration system. The manual also notes that low or unstable voltage can damage the compressor, so stable power is part of protecting the refrigerator’s most expensive components.

Kenmore is a brand name, and model 25363712302 is part of Kenmore’s 253 model series that is commonly associated with Frigidaire/Electrolux-built refrigerators. For model-specific identification details (model and serial plate location and how the model is recorded), use the owner's manual.

How to confirm who built your exact unit

The most reliable way is to match the model and serial information from the rating plate inside the fresh food compartment.

• Locate the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment (typically on an interior wall)
• Record the full model number and serial number exactly as shown
• Look for the 253 prefix on the model number; that prefix is the key identifier for this Kenmore series
• Keep the information with your paperwork for parts ordering and service history

What the “253” prefix means

For Kenmore refrigerators, the first three digits of the model number often indicate the original manufacturer family.

What you see	What it typically indicates	Why it matters
253.xxxxxxxx	Frigidaire/Electrolux-built platform	Helps match the correct parts diagrams and compatible replacement parts
Full model + serial	Your exact production run	Improves accuracy when selecting parts like a gasket, light bulb, or drawer components

Why it matters for parts and repairs

Knowing the build platform helps you choose the right replacement parts and follow the right troubleshooting steps for your top-mount refrigerator.

If you are replacing common wear items, these model-matched parts are examples you may see listed for Kenmore 25363712302:

• Refrigerator light bulb 316538904 for an interior light that is out
• Refrigerator gasket 242193213 if the door seal is torn or leaking air
• Crisper drawer - refrigerator storage component by frigidaire 240337103 if a drawer is cracked or won’t slide correctly
