Kenmore Elite 25328099805 freezer Parts

The exact cubic-foot capacity for Kenmore Elite upright freezer model 25328099805 is typically listed on the model’s rating label or in the specifications section of the 25328099805 owner's manual. If you need a quick planning estimate, most Kenmore upright freezers in this style commonly fall in the 15 to 20 cubic feet range.

We recommend checking these spots first because they match your exact unit configuration.

• Inside the freezer on the upper left wall (common location for the model/serial plate on upright models)
• The specifications section of the 25328099805 owner's manual
• Near the temperature control area (some models place labels nearby)
• On paperwork from the original purchase (if available)

If you want a practical estimate, you can approximate interior volume by measuring the usable interior space.

Formula: (height × width × depth in inches) ÷ 1,728 = cubic feet

Capacity helps you plan food storage and freezing loads. The manual guidance for many upright freezers is to freeze about 3 lb of fresh food per cubic foot at one time, so knowing cubic feet helps prevent overloading and long run times.

These parts do not change cubic feet, but they can change how much you can store and how well air circulates.

• Freezer door bin 297350101 if a bin is cracked or missing
• Door bin A00299203 for additional door storage (if your configuration uses it)
• Shelves and baskets should stay positioned to avoid blocking airflow

Most Kenmore upright freezers, including model 25328099805, do not have a single dedicated “reset” button. Instead, you reset common alarms and control issues by using the Alarm Reset button and by power-cycling the freezer; the exact steps are shown in the 25328099805 use and care guide.

On this model’s electronic control, Alarm Reset is the main “reset-style” control.

• Silence the HI TEMP alarm by pressing Alarm Reset.
• Lock the temperature controls by holding Alarm Reset for 3 seconds (a “1” appears).
• Unlock the controls by holding Alarm Reset for 3 seconds (a “U” appears briefly, then the temperature returns).
• Turn the freezer OFF by pressing the DOWN (v) symbol until the display shows “0”.
• Turn the freezer back ON by pressing the UP (A) symbol until the display shows “4” or your desired setting.

If the display is acting up, the alarm keeps returning, or the freezer is not responding to button presses, a power cycle resets the control.

1. Press DOWN (v) until the display shows 0 (OFF).
2. Unplug the freezer (or switch the circuit breaker OFF).
3. Wait 5 minutes.
4. Restore power.
5. Press UP (A) to set the control back to 4 (or your preferred setting), then allow several hours for temperatures to stabilize.

A reset will not fix a cooling or frost problem caused by a failed component.

Using Alarm Reset, control lock/unlock, and a proper power cycle prevents unnecessary part replacements and helps you separate a simple control issue from a true cooling, defrost, or airflow failure.

If your Kenmore Elite upright freezer model 25328099805 is running but not freezing, the most common causes are the temperature control set incorrectly (including OFF), warm air leaking in through the door seal, or restricted airflow from frost buildup and a failed evaporator fan. Use the troubleshooting steps in the 25328099805 owner's manual.

• Confirm the temperature control is not set to OFF (OFF stops the compressor but power can still be present).
• Verify the freezer is plugged in firmly; reset a tripped breaker or replace a blown fuse.
• Reduce door openings and make sure the door closes completely.
• Check the cabinet is level; a tilted cabinet can keep the door from sealing.
• Give it time after adding warm food; large loads can keep temps high for hours.

Heavy frost on the back interior panel or weak airflow usually points to a defrost or airflow problem.

• If you see heavy frost, unplug the freezer and fully defrost it (unplug first, as the manual instructs).
• Restart and monitor temperatures for 24 hours.
• If cooling returns briefly and then fails again, focus on the defrost system and evaporator fan.

Common parts involved on this model

• Freezer evaporator fan motor 297309000 (circulates cold air)
• Defrost heat 5304496284 (melts frost off the evaporator)

When airflow is blocked or warm air leaks in, the compressor can run too long and food can thaw. Fixing door sealing, leveling, and frost issues early restores normal freezing and reduces strain on the sealed system.
