Kenmore 25361832102 refrigerator Parts

Kenmore model 25361832102 is a top-mount refrigerator, not an upright freezer. The cubic-foot capacity is typically listed on the model’s rating label and in the specifications section of the 25361832102 owner's manual.

How to find the exact cubic feet for model 25361832102

We recommend checking these spots first because they match the appliance’s actual configuration and serial plate data.

• Look on the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment (often on a side wall).
• Check the specifications section in the manual.
• If you still need confirmation, compare the interior layout (shelves, crisper drawers, door bins) to the feature diagram in the manual.
• If you are shopping for storage, measure usable space: full shelves, crisper area, and door bins.

Refrigerator vs. upright freezer: quick comparison

Capacity questions often get mixed up because Kenmore model numbers can look similar across product types.

Appliance type	What “cubic feet” describes	Typical use
Top-mount refrigerator (like 25361832102)	Total fresh food + freezer volume	Everyday refrigerated and frozen food
Upright freezer	Total freezer-only volume	Bulk frozen storage

Why it matters

Capacity affects food storage planning, energy use expectations, and whether replacement parts (like bins and drawers) match your interior layout. For example, if you are replacing a broken drawer, matching the model is the fastest way to get the right fit.

Common interior storage parts for this model

• Crisper drawer - refrigerator storage component by frigidaire 240337103 (fresh food produce drawer)
• Frigidaire refrigerator door gallon bin 240338001 (large door bin for jugs)

Most Kenmore refrigerators last 12 to 15 years. For a Kenmore top-mount refrigerator like model 25361832102, steady maintenance (cleaning, correct temperature settings, and good door sealing) is what most often determines whether you reach or exceed that average.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

A refrigerator’s life is mostly driven by how hard the sealed cooling system and fans have to work.

• Maintenance: dirty condenser coils and blocked airflow shorten life
• Door sealing: air leaks force longer run times and more frost
• Temperature settings: overly cold settings increase compressor run time
• Room conditions: heat, humidity, and tight cabinet clearances add stress
• Usage: frequent door openings and overpacking reduce efficiency

Maintenance checklist that helps you reach 12 to 15 years

We recommend building these habits into your routine:

• Vacuum dust from the condenser area and surrounding vents
• Keep door gaskets clean and check for gaps or tears
• Set temperatures to typical targets: 37°F to 40°F fresh food, 0°F freezer
• Avoid overloading shelves; keep air vents clear
• Listen for new noises (fan rubbing, clicking, buzzing) and address them early

Quick guide: “normal aging” vs “repair now”

What you notice	Often normal	Often needs attention
Longer run times	During hot weather or heavy use	Constant running with warm temps
Frost	Light frost after frequent openings	Heavy frost buildup or blocked airflow
Noises	Occasional clicks and hums	Grinding, squealing, or loud rattling

Why it matters

A refrigerator is usually replaced because cooling performance drops or energy use rises. Simple care steps reduce compressor strain and help prevent common failures like airflow problems, frost buildup, and warm temperatures.

For model-specific operating and care guidance (including temperature controls, normal sounds, and cleaning), follow the 25361832102 owner's manual.

Kenmore is a brand name, and model 25361832102 is part of Kenmore’s 253 model series, which is widely associated with Frigidaire/Electrolux-built refrigerators. For model-specific identification details (including where to find the serial plate), use the 25361832102 owner's manual.

How to confirm the actual manufacturer for your exact unit

Kenmore appliances are produced by different manufacturers depending on the model series and production run. The most reliable way to confirm who built your specific refrigerator is to use the model and serial information from the data plate.

• Open the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment and locate the serial plate inside.
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown.
• Compare the model prefix (such as 253) to common Kenmore manufacturer series.
• Use the serial information when ordering parts to avoid fit issues.
• If you are replacing storage components, match the part by model, not by appearance.

What the “253” model prefix usually means

The 253 prefix is commonly tied to Frigidaire-built designs, which also explains why many replacement parts for this model cross to Frigidaire-style components.

What you see	What it typically indicates	Why it matters
Model starts with 253	Often Frigidaire/Electrolux-built	Helps narrow parts families and diagrams
Kenmore name on the door	Kenmore is the retail brand	Parts still must match the model/serial
Frigidaire-style bins/drawers	Shared component design	Improves odds of correct replacement

Parts clue: common Frigidaire-style components on this model

If you are shopping for common interior parts, these examples align with the Frigidaire-style parts frequently used on Kenmore 253-series refrigerators:

• Crisper drawer - refrigerator storage component by frigidaire 240337103 (produce drawer)
• Frigidaire refrigerator door gallon bin 240338001 (door gallon shelf)
• Refrigerator defrost heater 5303918208 (defrost system component)

Why it matters

Knowing who built the refrigerator helps you choose the right diagrams, troubleshoot more accurately (cooling, defrost, fan noise), and order correct Kenmore-compatible parts the first time.
