⚙️ About these part numbers. These are the OEM part numbers for the Kenmore 25132 at the time of writing. Manufacturers supersede part numbers over time, and some parts split by serial-number range — the same model built two years apart can take a different pump. Always check the number against the full model and serial number on your machine’s tag before you order, and buy from a supplier who accepts returns on the wrong part. Not sure? A local appliance repair pro will confirm the right part in a two-minute phone call — and often has it on the van.

Tech notes

Give any parts counter the 110.25132 model number and they cross it to Whirlpool stock instantly — Sears’ decline never touched this machine’s parts supply.
