Kenmore Refrigerator 25352649301 FAQs

On Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator model 25352649301, the model number is printed on the serial plate inside the refrigerator (fresh food) compartment. Open the refrigerator door and look along the interior walls near the top front area for the label. See the owner's manual for the exact label location and what the plate looks like.

What to look for on the serial plate

The serial plate typically includes both identifiers you need:

  • Model number (for example, 25352649301) used to match parts like a water filter or door gasket
  • Serial number used to identify the production run
  • Electrical ratings (voltage/amps)
  • Safety and certification markings
Quick steps to find it fast
  • Open the refrigerator door (not the freezer door)
  • Check the inside refrigerator compartment first
  • Look on the upper side walls and near the front frame area
  • Wipe the area with a damp cloth if the label is dusty
  • Use your phone flashlight to read small print
Common label locations (side-by-side refrigerators)
Location How to check How common
Inside fresh food compartment (upper wall/front frame) Open refrigerator door and scan upper interior Most common
Behind crisper drawers Pull drawers out and look at the liner Sometimes
Freezer compartment wall Open freezer door and scan interior wall Less common
Why it matters

We use the exact model number to pull the correct parts list and diagrams for your refrigerator. That prevents ordering the wrong items, especially for model-specific parts like a water filter, water inlet valve, or door gasket.

If your Kenmore 25352649301 isn’t cooling and you hear repeated clicking from the compressor area, the compressor may be failing to start or may be shutting off on overload. Before condemning the compressor, we check power, controls, condenser cleanliness, and whether the unit is simply in a normal defrost cycle (about 30 minutes).

Quick checks before blaming the compressor
  • Make sure the freezer control is not set to “O” (OFF).
  • Confirm the refrigerator has power (outlet, breaker, GFI circuit).
  • Listen for the compressor: a steady hum is normal; repeated click-then-silence points to a start problem.
  • Check condenser coils for heavy dust; dirty coils can cause long run times and poor cooling.
  • Allow time after changes: temperature adjustments need about 24 hours to stabilize.

For model-specific control locations and operating notes, use the owner's manual.

Signs that point to a compressor or sealed-system problem

A compressor issue usually shows up as warm temperatures even though the refrigerator is running.

  • Refrigerator and freezer both warm, and the compressor is not running (or only tries briefly)
  • Repeated clicking from the compressor area (overload cycling)
  • Loud buzzing or hard-start sounds when it tries to start
  • Unit runs “too much or too long” but temperatures never recover
  • Evaporator fan may run, but there is little to no cooling
What else can look like a “bad compressor”
Symptom More likely cause What to check first
Runs a lot, weak cooling Dirty condenser Clean coils and confirm airflow
Runs a lot, frost/ice issues Defrost problem Consider the refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214
Warm temps, doors not sealing Air leak Inspect/clean gasket, door alignment
No water/ice plus warm temps Not compressor-related Water system parts do not affect cooling
Why it matters

Replacing a compressor is a major repair; ruling out controls, airflow, door sealing, and defrost issues prevents unnecessary parts replacement and gets your side-by-side refrigerator cooling reliably again.

Yes. We still carry replacement parts for Kenmore refrigerators, including model 25352649301. You can match parts by model number and symptoms, then replace common wear items like water filters, door gaskets, light bulbs, and ice maker components to keep your side-by-side running properly.

Parts you can commonly still buy for Kenmore 25352649301

These are some of the most frequently replaced items for this model:

  • Water filter (for taste, odor, and flow issues)
  • Door gaskets (for warm temps, frost, and sweating around the doors)
  • Water inlet valve (for no water at the dispenser or no ice production)
  • Defrost thermostat (for frost buildup and poor airflow)
  • Light bulb (for interior lighting)

If you are starting with a water and ice issue, the owner's manual explains filter status and replacement timing.

Quick match guide (symptom to likely part)
Symptom What to check first Example part on this model page
Water tastes bad or flow is slow Replace filter; flush lines Genuine Kenmore refrigerator water filter WF2CB
Water dispenser not working House supply, filter, then valve Refrigerator water inlet valve assembly 242252702
Frost buildup, warm fridge Defrost system and airflow Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat 5303918214
Door not sealing, moisture Inspect gasket for gaps/tears Refrigerator gasket 241786014
No light inside Replace bulb Refrigerator light bulb 316538904
Why it matters

Using model-matched parts helps restore proper temperatures, airflow, and water flow. On a side-by-side like the Kenmore 25352649301, small issues (a weak door seal or restricted filter) can quickly lead to frost, warm spots, or dispenser problems.

Tips for ordering the right part the first time
  • Confirm the full model number: 25352649301
  • Compare the part ID and description to your original part
  • Use your symptom (no ice, leaking, warm fridge) to narrow the part category
  • Check the diagrams for location and quantity needed
  • Follow the replacement steps and safety notes in the installation guide
