How to tell cubic feet of Kenmore refrigerator by model number?
For Kenmore model 25367800791, the model number alone usually does not reliably encode the exact cubic-foot capacity. The most accurate way is to look up the capacity by the full model number in a specs listing, or calculate it from the interior measurements (in inches) and convert to cubic feet.
Use a tape measure to get the usable interior dimensions of each compartment.
- Measure refrigerator section: height, width, depth (in inches)
- Measure freezer section: height, width, depth (in inches)
- Multiply each section:
H x W x D = cubic inches - Add the two sections together
- Convert to cubic feet:
total cubic inches ÷ 1728 = cubic feet
| What you have | Convert to cubic feet |
|---|---|
| Cubic inches | ÷ 1728 |
| Cubic feet | already the capacity |
For model 25367800791, use the full model number (all digits) when searching specs so you land on the exact top-mount refrigerator variant.
- Confirm the model tag matches 25367800791 exactly
- Check for a rating/spec label inside the fresh food section (often on a side wall)
- If you see a “total capacity” value, that is the cubic feet
- Measure inside wall to inside wall, not the outside cabinet
- Measure depth to the inside face of the door gasket, not to the door bins
- Subtract space taken by fixed interior housings (light cover, fan shroud) if they reduce usable depth
- If shelves are adjustable, measure the maximum usable space, not a single shelf position
- Record measurements in inches to keep the math simple
Cubic feet is the best way to compare storage capacity across refrigerators. It also helps when you are choosing replacement bins, drawers, or planning food storage, because two “similar size” top-mount units can have noticeably different usable space.

What does er rf mean on a Kenmore 25367800791 refrigerator?
On Kenmore model 25367800791, the ER RF error typically points to a problem with the refrigerator (fresh food) evaporator fan circuit. In most cases, the fan is not spinning as expected because it is blocked by ice, the fan motor is failing, or the control is not supplying proper power to the fan.
- Power reset: Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then plug it back in.
- Listen for the fan: With the doors closed, you should normally hear airflow from the fresh food section.
- Look for frost buildup: Heavy frost on the rear interior panel often means the fan is hitting ice.
- Check door closure: A door left slightly open can drive moisture and icing that stops the fan.
- Confirm vents are clear: Blocked air vents can cause poor airflow and icing.
| Likely cause | What you may notice | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Ice buildup stopping the fan | Buzzing, rubbing, or fan noise that comes and goes | Defrost the unit; address the defrost/air leak cause |
| Failed evaporator fan motor | No fan sound; warm refrigerator, freezer may still seem cold | Replace the evaporator fan motor |
| Wiring/connector issue | Error appears intermittently, fan works sometimes | Inspect harness and connectors for damage |
| Control board not driving the fan | Fan never runs even after defrost and checks | Diagnose control output; replace control if needed |
That evaporator fan moves cold air through the refrigerator compartment. When it stops, temperatures rise, food spoils faster, and the compressor can run longer than normal trying to recover.
If you suspect airflow or fan trouble (warm fresh food section, weak airflow, unusual fan noise), follow a fan-focused troubleshooting path like how to fix your evaporator cooling fan to narrow down whether the issue is ice, the motor, or an electrical/control problem.

What is the top part of a fridge called?
In a Kenmore 25367800791 top-mount refrigerator, the top section is typically the freezer compartment. It’s the coldest area of the appliance and is designed to keep foods frozen; it may also support ice making if your refrigerator is equipped for it.
- Freezer compartment
- Freezer section
- Top freezer
- Freezer cabinet (less common)
- Freezer door (refers to the door, not the whole compartment)
The freezer is more than just “the top door”; it’s a set of cooling and storage components working together.
| Item | What it does | What you might notice when it has a problem |
|---|---|---|
| Freezer compartment | Holds frozen food at the coldest temps | Soft ice cream, thawing food |
| Temperature control/thermostat | Helps regulate cooling | Temps swing warm/cold |
| Evaporator fan (common in many designs) | Circulates cold air | Warm fridge section, noisy fan |
| Door gasket/seal | Keeps cold air in | Frost buildup, moisture, warm spots |
Knowing the correct name helps when you’re troubleshooting cooling issues, checking temperature settings, or searching for repair help and parts for the freezer door, gasket, shelves, or fan system.
