Yes. We still supply replacement parts for Kenmore refrigerators, including model 25360505613. The key is matching parts to your exact model number so the fit and electrical connections are correct; your 25360505613 owner's manual helps confirm features and component locations.

How to make sure you order the right part

Helpful DIY guidance

• Use 25360505613 installation guide for safe handling, leveling, and connection basics.
• If your refrigerator is showing a code or beeping, use Kenmore 253 series french door refrigerator error codes to narrow down the system involved before ordering parts.

Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on the serial plate inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. For Kenmore model 25360505613, the plate is typically on an inside wall; record both the model and serial number for parts and service.

Where to look first

Check these common serial plate locations on Kenmore refrigerators:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (most common)
• On the ceiling of the refrigerator compartment near the light
• On the side wall behind the crisper drawers (remove drawers to see it)
• Along the door frame area (open the door and look around the perimeter)

What you should write down

The serial plate usually includes several fields. Capture them exactly as shown:

• Model number (for example: 25360505613)
• Serial number
• Purchase date (if listed or if you know it)

Item	Why we need it	Example format
Model number	Ensures parts fit your exact refrigerator	253.6050XXXX or 25360505613
Serial number	Helps match production changes and revisions	Letters and numbers

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers that start with 253 often share a similar platform, but parts can still vary by revision and color. Using the exact model and serial number prevents ordering the wrong door gasket, evaporator fan motor, or shelf parts.

Quick tip for confirming you found the right plate

• Clean the label gently with soap and water so the numbers stay readable.
• Take a clear photo before you close the door.
• Match the model number format shown in the 25360505613 owner’s manual.

You can estimate the age of your Kenmore refrigerator by finding the serial number on the rating plate inside the fresh food compartment, then decoding the manufacturing date from that serial number. For model 25360505613, the model and serial are recorded from the same interior serial plate (see the 25360505613 owner’s manual).

Where to find the serial number on model 25360505613

The serial plate is located inside the refrigerator compartment. We recommend writing the model and serial down for future parts lookup and service.

• Open the refrigerator door and look along the interior side walls and upper liner area
• Look for a label that lists Model Number and Serial Number
• Clean the serial plate using soap and water only
• Record the purchase date too, if you still have it

How Kenmore serial numbers typically indicate age

Kenmore date coding varies by manufacturer, but many Kenmore-built (or Kenmore-branded) units use a serial format where the leading characters indicate the production date.

Common patterns you may see:

What you see in the serial	What it usually means	What to do next
Starts with letters, then numbers	Letters often encode month and year	Write down the first 2 to 4 characters and decode them
Starts with numbers only	Date may be embedded later in the string	Look for a week/year or year/month segment
Label shows “MFG DATE”	Date is printed directly	Use that date as the manufacture date

Quick tips to get the most accurate “age”

• Use the serial number, not the model number, to date the unit
• If you are comparing “age” for warranty or service, use the purchase date when available
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo before cleaning so characters are not lost

Why it matters

Knowing the manufacture date helps us match the right Kenmore 253-series design changes, which can affect parts like the door gasket, evaporator fan motor, or defrost heater used in your refrigerator.

Most Kenmore refrigerators, including model 25360505613, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal household use. Regular maintenance (especially keeping airflow clear and doors sealing tightly) is what most often determines whether you land closer to 10 years or push past 15.

What affects lifespan the most

• Condenser cleanliness: Dusty coils make the compressor work harder.
• Door seal condition: Air leaks force longer run times and can cause frost issues.
• Temperature settings: Over-cold settings can increase run time and wear.
• Room conditions: Hot garages and tight built-ins reduce cooling efficiency.
• Usage habits: Frequent door openings and overloading reduce performance.

Maintenance checklist we recommend

Use the schedule below as a simple way to protect the sealed system (compressor, evaporator, condenser) and reduce wear.

Task	How often	Why it helps
Clean condenser area	Every 6 to 12 months	Reduces compressor run time
Inspect and clean door gaskets	Every 3 to 6 months	Prevents warm air leaks
Verify temps (fresh food and freezer)	Monthly	Avoids overworking the cooling system
Keep vents unblocked inside	Ongoing	Maintains even airflow

For model-specific care steps and temperature control guidance, follow the 25360505613 owner's manual.

When a “simple part” can extend life

If the refrigerator is cooling but struggling, a few common wear items can make a noticeable difference:

• A torn or warped door gasket can cause sweating, frost, and longer run times (see frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (white) 242193206 or frigidaire refrigerator door gasket (black) 242193212 if your unit uses those colors).
• A noisy or weak evaporator fan can reduce airflow and cause warm spots (see refrigerator evaporator fan motor 242077705).

Why it matters

A refrigerator that runs longer than it should uses more electricity and puts extra stress on the compressor. Keeping seals tight, airflow clear, and temperatures correct is the most reliable way to reach the typical 10 to 15-year lifespan.
