KitchenAid KSRS25FGBT02 side-by-side refrigerator Parts

Your KitchenAid refrigerator model number (for example, KSRS25FGBT02) is the exact ID we use to match the correct parts list and diagrams for your unit. Read it exactly as printed (letters and numbers), then use it to shop the right replacement parts on Sears PartsDirect.

On most KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerators like KSRS25FGBT02, the model/serial tag is typically in one of these spots:

• Inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall
• On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall
• On the inside frame near the door opening
• Behind or near the lower crisper drawers (on the liner wall)

Model numbers are easy to misread. We recommend these checks before ordering:

• Copy the full model number, including any ending digits (example: KSRS25FGBT02, not KSRS25FGBT)
• Watch for look-alike characters (O vs 0, I vs 1, S vs 5)
• Keep the model number and serial number separate; only the model number is used for parts lookup
• Use the label text, not the number stamped on a part (parts often have different numbers)

KitchenAid refrigerators can use different ice makers, water inlet valves, door gaskets, and defrost parts depending on the exact model number. Using the full KSRS25FGBT02 model number helps ensure the parts you choose fit and function correctly.

For the KitchenAid KSRS25FGBT02 side-by-side refrigerator, the most common customer-reported issues are ice maker and water dispenser problems, followed by cooling complaints caused by airflow or defrost trouble. These symptoms often trace back to the water inlet valve, ice maker components, or evaporator airflow parts.

• No ice or small/hollow cubes: water supply restriction or a failing inlet valve
• Ice maker not cycling or overfilling: ice maker assembly or internal ice maker components
• Water dispenser slow or not dispensing: air in the line, filter housing restriction, or inlet valve issue
• Warm refrigerator section but freezer seems OK: airflow problem at the evaporator area
• Frost buildup on the back freezer wall: defrost system problem (heater or defrost bi-metal)

If your symptoms match, these model-compatible parts are good starting points:

• Confirm the shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
• If the dispenser sputters, purge air by dispensing water for 2 to 3 minutes; see how to purge air from a refrigerator water dispenser video.
• Look for frost/ice on the freezer back panel (a strong clue of a defrost issue).
• Clean condenser coils (dirty coils can cause temperature swings and longer run times).
• Make sure doors seal tightly; a poor seal can cause frost and cooling complaints.

Ice maker, inlet valve, and defrost problems can look like “the refrigerator isn’t cooling,” but the fix is often a targeted part replacement. Matching the symptom to the right system (water supply, airflow, or defrost) saves time and prevents repeat failures.

The KitchenAid KSRS25FGBT02 is a full-size side-by-side refrigerator; most models in this class are about 33 to 36 inches wide, 65 to 71 inches tall, and 30 to 35 inches deep (not counting the door handles). For exact dimensions for your unit, match measurements to your installation space and door swing.

• Width: measure the cabinet at the widest point (usually the hinge side trim)
• Height: floor to the top hinge cover area; check for overhead cabinets
• Depth: measure cabinet depth and overall depth (doors closed); note handle projection
• Door swing clearance: allow room for doors to open fully and for bins to slide out
• Ventilation space: leave a small gap behind and above for airflow

These are common ranges for side-by-side refrigerators like the KSRS25FGBT02.

Getting the dimensions right prevents install problems like doors hitting walls, drawers not pulling out, or the refrigerator sitting too tight for proper airflow. If you are also dealing with door alignment or closing issues, worn hinge components can change how the doors sit.

If your doors sag, don’t self-close, or rub after moving the refrigerator, these parts are commonly involved:

• Refrigerator door cam (black) WP2182179 (helps the door lift and close smoothly)
• Door gaskets (air leaks can mimic “bad fit” by causing sweating and poor cooling)
• Leveling and roller adjustments (not a part listed here, but critical for fit)

Yes. KitchenAid refrigerators are positioned as a premium (high-end) brand, known for solid build quality, upscale styling, and features aimed at consistent cooling and convenience. For your KitchenAid KSRS25FGBT02 side-by-side refrigerator, long-term “high-end” performance still depends on proper maintenance and timely part replacement.

High-end refrigerators typically stand out in a few practical ways:

• More consistent temperatures (better food preservation)
• Quieter operation (better fan and airflow design)
• Better fit and finish (doors, handles, bins, trim)
• Convenience features (ice and water dispensing, filtration)
• Strong parts support over the life of the unit

Even a premium side-by-side can feel “not high end” if common wear items start failing. For KSRS25FGBT02, these are frequent performance drivers:

• Ice production and dispensing: replace worn ice maker or bin components
• Water dispensing and filling: address low flow, leaks, or no-fill issues quickly
• Door sealing: fix warm spots, sweating, and frost caused by air leaks
• Airflow: resolve evaporator fan noise or weak cooling before food temps drift

If you are troubleshooting water quality or flow, we recommend starting with how to replace the water filter in a KitchenAid refrigerator.

“High end” is mostly about consistent temperatures, low noise, and reliable ice and water. When parts like the inlet valve, defrost heater, or door cam wear out, the refrigerator can still run but won’t feel premium day to day.

A KitchenAid refrigerator typically lasts 14 to 17 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. For your KitchenAid KSRS25FGBT02 side-by-side refrigerator, keeping airflow clear, seals tight, and the ice and water system maintained helps you reach that expected service life.

Most refrigerator life is driven by compressor run time, heat removal, and door sealing. These factors have the biggest impact:

• Kitchen temperature and ventilation around the cabinet
• Dirty condenser area causing longer run times
• Worn door gaskets letting warm air leak in
• Heavy ice maker and dispenser use (more water and moving parts)
• Frost buildup from defrost system issues

We recommend these practical steps for KSRS25FGBT02 owners:

• Clean the condenser area regularly so the unit can shed heat efficiently
• Keep doors closing squarely; replace worn gaskets when you feel air leaks
• Fix water leaks quickly to prevent corrosion and ice buildup
• If ice production is inconsistent, troubleshoot early to avoid overworking components
• Replace failed cooling-air components promptly if you hear abnormal fan noise

If performance problems show up, these model-matched parts are often involved:

A refrigerator that runs longer to maintain temperature wears the compressor, fans, and controls faster. Simple upkeep (cleaning, sealing, and addressing ice and water issues early) reduces run time and helps your KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerator reach the 14 to 17 year lifespan.
