Kenmore 25361712400 refrigerator Parts

Yes. We still offer replacement parts for Kenmore refrigerators, including model 25361712400; you can match parts by model number and then choose the exact component you need (for example, gaskets, thermostats, fan parts, or sealed-system components).

Use your model number (25361712400) to ensure the part fits your top-mount refrigerator, then confirm the part name and ID before ordering.

• Look up the part by symptom (not cooling, frost buildup, warm fresh food section, door not sealing)
• Compare the part name and part ID to your existing component
• Check whether you need a refrigerator-side or freezer-side part (common mix-up with gaskets)
• Use the diagrams and part lists in the 25361712400 owner's manual
• Follow safe handling steps for electrical parts (unplug the refrigerator before service)

These are examples of parts available for this model that commonly solve cooling and sealing problems:

Using the correct, model-matched part helps restore proper temperatures, reduces compressor run time, and prevents issues like frost buildup or water leaks caused by poor airflow or a bad door seal.

Most Kenmore refrigerators last about 10 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. For your Kenmore 25361712400 top-mount refrigerator, steady temperatures, clean airflow, and avoiding low-voltage operation help protect major components like the compressor; see the 25361712400 owner's manual for care and operating guidance.

These ranges help explain why overall refrigerator life varies:

These are the highest-impact habits for a top-mount refrigerator like model 25361712400:

• Keep condenser area and toe grille vents clear so heat can escape.
• Set stable temps (typical targets: 37°F fresh food, 0°F freezer).
• Make sure doors close and seal fully; fix gaps quickly.
• Avoid overpacking; blocked vents reduce airflow and cause warm spots.
• Protect the unit from power issues; consistent voltage helps prevent compressor damage.

If you see several of these together, repairs can become more frequent:

• Food temps drift even after adjusting the temperature control.
• Loud, constant running or repeated clicking from the compressor area.
• Heavy frost on the freezer back wall (defrost problem).
• Condensation, sweating, or visible gaps around the door seal.
• Warm refrigerator section while the freezer seems “okay” (airflow or fan issue).

When cooling problems start, these model-relevant parts are often involved:

• Airflow issues: evaporator fan blade or motor (see refrigerator evaporator fan blade 5308000010).
• Defrost failures: timer or heater (see refrigerator defrost timer 215846602).
• Temperature control problems: thermostat (see refrigerator temperature control thermostat 241537103).

A refrigerator that is forced to run hot (restricted airflow) or run under unstable power tends to wear out the sealed system sooner. Keeping airflow open and temperatures steady reduces compressor run time and helps your Kenmore 25361712400 deliver its full expected lifespan.

Kenmore model numbers are read as a full prefix plus a base model and suffix; the prefix (often the first 3 digits) identifies the original manufacturer, and the remaining digits narrow down the exact design and version. On Kenmore refrigerator model 25361712400, the model and serial tag is located inside the fresh food compartment.

For Kenmore 25361712400 top-mount refrigerators, we use the model and serial information from the serial plate inside the refrigerator compartment (fresh food section). See the location details in the owner's manual.

• Open the refrigerator door (not the freezer door)
• Look along the side wall near the crisper area or upper liner
• Check near the ceiling of the fresh food compartment
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown
• Use the full number when selecting parts such as a thermostat, gasket, or evaporator fan motor

Kenmore model numbers are typically made up of:

• Prefix: identifies who built the appliance for Kenmore
• Base model: identifies the core platform and features
• Suffix: identifies revisions such as color, production change, or feature variations

Even small digit changes can point to different door styles, control systems, or sealed-system configurations. Using the complete model number helps us match parts like the refrigerator temperature control thermostat 241537103 or the evaporator motor 5303918549 to the correct Kenmore refrigerator design.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore refrigerators like model 25361712400 are cooling issues (warm fridge or freezer), frost buildup from defrost problems, noisy operation from fan issues, and door sealing problems that cause temperature swings. Use the owner's manual troubleshooting section to narrow the cause fast.

• Refrigerator not running at all: power supply issue, control set to OFF/0, or the unit is in a defrost cycle (many models can pause cooling for about 20 minutes).
• Warm refrigerator section but freezer is cold: restricted airflow or a stuck/failed air damper.
• Frost buildup on the back wall or poor cooling over time: defrost system problem (timer, heater, or related wiring).
• Noisy humming, rattling, or clicking: normal operating sounds are common, but persistent fan noise often points to the evaporator fan area.
• Doors not closing well or moisture around the door: worn gasket or hinge wear causing air leaks.

1. Confirm the plug is fully seated and the breaker is not tripped.
2. Verify temperature controls are set correctly; allow 24 hours after changes for temperatures to stabilize.
3. Check for blocked vents (packages pushed against air returns in the refrigerator section).
4. Inspect door gaskets for gaps, tears, or areas that do not grip the cabinet.
5. Listen for the evaporator fan; if it is loud or not running, cooling performance usually drops.

Most “not cold enough” complaints come down to airflow (damper or fan), defrost performance (ice blocking the evaporator), or air leaks at the doors. Fixing the root cause protects food, reduces run time, and helps prevent repeat icing and temperature swings.
