Kenmore 2537034341A refrigerator Parts

For Kenmore refrigerator model 2537034341A, the model and serial tag is typically on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. Open the refrigerator door and look along the inside walls; the tag is meant to be easy to read for parts lookup and service.

Check these common locations first:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (often upper right)
• On the ceiling area inside the fresh food compartment
• Along the door frame (hinge side) when the door is open
• Behind or near the crisper drawers (you may need to slide a drawer out)
• On the cabinet wall just above the toe grille area (less common)

For model-specific guidance, use the 2537034341A use & care manual.

Record both numbers exactly as shown on the tag:

• Model number (example format: 253.7034xxx)
• Serial number
• Purchase date (helpful for service history)

Kenmore model numbers can look similar across different refrigerator styles (bottom-mount, French door, etc.). Using the exact model number from the serial plate is the most reliable way to match parts like a water inlet valve, ice maker, or door gasket to your specific refrigerator.

On Kenmore model 2537034341A, the water filter is located inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment at the top right side. Open the right door and look up along the upper-right interior wall near the filter housing; see the 2537034341A use & care manual.

• Open the fresh food doors (not the freezer drawer).
• Look at the top-right interior corner of the refrigerator section.
• Find the filter housing and cover; it’s typically near the ceiling liner.
• If you see a cover but it’s cracked or missing, check the refrigerator water filter cover 241998303.
• If the housing area looks damaged or won’t hold the filter, inspect the refrigerator water filter housing 241983816.

1. Turn off the ice maker (optional but helpful).
2. Press, twist, or pull the old filter out (the exact motion depends on the filter style installed).
3. Insert the new filter fully and lock it in place.
4. Dispense water for a few minutes to flush air and carbon fines.

A clogged or overdue filter can reduce water flow to the dispenser and ice maker, affect taste, and contribute to small ice cubes. Keeping the filter seated correctly also helps prevent leaks at the filter head.

On Kenmore model 2537034341A, a “bad compressor” usually shows up as poor cooling (fresh food and freezer warming), the unit running almost constantly, or abnormal compressor noises. Before condemning the compressor, we verify airflow, condenser cleanliness, and control issues using the 2537034341A use & care manual.

• Refrigerator and freezer temperatures keep rising even though the unit runs
• Compressor is very hot and repeatedly clicks on and off (start attempts)
• Loud humming, buzzing, or knocking that is new or getting worse
• Breaker trips when the compressor tries to start
• Frost pattern and airflow look normal, but cooling is still weak

These items commonly mimic compressor failure on bottom-mount refrigerators like 2537034341A:

• Condenser coils clogged: restricted heat release can cause long run times and warm temps
• Condenser fan not running: compressor overheats and cooling drops
• Evaporator fan not running: freezer may get cold but fresh food warms
• Air damper stuck: freezer cold, refrigerator section warm
• Control or sensor issue: incorrect temperature feedback can cause poor cooling

If you suspect a sealed-system issue, the refrigerator compressor 5304475104 is the model-matched compressor listing we use for reference when identifying the correct replacement.

A compressor replacement is a major repair and misdiagnosing it can waste time and money. Ruling out airflow, fans, and controls first helps you avoid replacing the wrong part and gets cooling restored faster.
