Kenmore Elite dishwasher FAQs

How do I find the right part for my dishwasher?

Locate the model number on the inside edge of the door or tub. Enter it into our illustrated parts list to view diagrams showing every component, making it easy to identify exactly what you need for a repair.

Why does my dishwasher smell bad?

Odors come from trapped food particles or standing water. Clean the filter, spray arms, and door gasket, and run a hot cycle with vinegar or dishwasher cleaner to eliminate smells.

Why is my Kenmore Elite dishwasher making loud noises?

Grinding or rattling sounds may come from worn pump bearings, a failing motor, or loose spray arms. Remove foreign objects and replace worn components to quiet operation.

How often should I clean the dishwasher filter?

Clean the filter once a month or more often if you run frequent loads. This helps maintain water flow and prevents odors.

When should I replace my dishwasher?

If repairs exceed half the cost of a new unit, or the tub is cracked, replacement may be more cost-effective than continued repairs.
