How wide is a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator?
Most Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators are about 32 to 36 inches wide; your Kenmore 25352349303 falls in that common size range. For the exact cabinet width (and clearance needs for doors and airflow), use the dimensions and installation clearances listed in the installation guide.
Typical widths you will see (and what they mean)
Side-by-side refrigerator width varies mainly by capacity and whether it is standard-depth or counter-depth.
- 32 to 33 inches: narrower cabinets, tighter kitchens
- 35 to 36 inches: most common “full-size” side-by-side width
- 36+ inches: larger capacity or premium configurations
Measure it the right way (so it fits)
When we help customers plan a replacement or confirm fit, we use these measurements:
- Cabinet width: main box, not including handles
- Overall width with doors/handles: can add about 1 to 2 inches depending on handle style
- Door swing clearance: space needed so doors open fully and bins slide out
- Ventilation clearance: space around the cabinet for proper cooling
Quick planning table
| What you’re checking | What to use | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Opening width | Cabinet width plus side clearance | Prevents rubbing and vibration |
| Door clearance | Door swing space | Ensures drawers and shelves can be removed |
| Depth fit | Depth plus rear clearance | Protects water line and power cord |
Why it matters
A refrigerator that is even 1 inch too wide can prevent proper leveling, keep doors from sealing, or pinch the water supply line for the ice maker and dispenser. The installation guide gives the exact clearances so your 25352349303 can run efficiently and the doors seal correctly.
If you are also planning maintenance while measuring, we stock common fit-related and performance parts for this model, including the genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB. You can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

What are the most common problems with Kenmore refrigerators?
The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25352349303 are weak or no cooling, long run times, water leaks, ice maker or dispenser failures, and unusual noises. These usually trace to airflow restrictions, dirty condenser coils, door gasket leaks, or a defrost-system fault; use the 25352349303 owner's manual troubleshooting chart to pinpoint the cause.
Common symptoms and likely causes
- Not cooling or uneven temps: dirty condenser coils, evaporator fan not moving air, damper stuck, frost blocking airflow
- Runs too long: doors opened often, door slightly open, dirty condenser, worn or dirty gasket
- Water leaking or puddles: clogged defrost drain, leaking water reservoir or supply line
- Ice maker not making ice: water supply issue, frozen fill tube, failed ice maker
- Dispenser jam/no dispense: ice clumped from power outage or infrequent use; auger or bin issues
Quick checks we recommend first
- Confirm controls are not set to “O” (OFF).
- Make sure doors close fully; clean and inspect gaskets.
- Clean condenser coils; keep airflow clear around the cabinet.
- Look for heavy frost on the freezer back panel (defrost issue).
- If ice is jammed, remove the bin and shake to loosen cubes; never use sharp tools.
Parts that commonly solve these problems
| Problem area | What you may notice | Example part for 25352349303 |
|---|---|---|
| Water quality/flow | Bad taste, slow dispenser flow | Refrigerator water filter WF2CB |
| Defrost system | Frost buildup, warming, fan noise from ice | Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214 |
| Ice production | No ice or intermittent ice | Refrigerator ice maker 5304458371 |
Why it matters
Most “major” refrigerator complaints start as airflow, gasket, or defrost problems. Fixing those early keeps temperatures stable for safe food storage and reduces strain on the compressor.
You can order replacement parts from the parts list for model 25352349303, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
