Kenmore Elite 66513193K900 dishwasher Parts

To take your Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66513193K900 out of lock mode, press and hold HEATED DRY for 3 seconds until the LOCK ON light turns off. Once unlocked, the buttons work normally and the dishwasher can run again (the door can still open while locked). See the 66513193K900 owner's manual.

Quick unlock checklist

• Press and hold HEATED DRY for 3 seconds
• Watch for LOCK ON to turn off
• If you press a button while locked, the lock light typically flashes
• Close the door firmly before starting a cycle
• Press START/RESUME, then close the door within about 3 seconds to begin or resume

What “lock mode” does (and does not) do

The control lock is designed to prevent unintended button presses between cycles.

Item	While locked	Why it matters
Control buttons	Disabled	Prevents accidental cycle changes
Dishwasher operation	Will not run	You must unlock to start a cycle
Door	Can open/close	Lets you load or unload safely

If it still will not unlock

These steps fix the most common “stuck in lock” situations:

• Press and hold HEATED DRY a full 3 seconds (do not tap)
• Make sure the dishwasher is not mid-cycle; cancel the cycle if needed, then try again
• Restore power by turning the breaker off for 1 minute, then back on; retry the unlock
• If the control panel is unresponsive after a power reset, check the fuse W10258275 (a blown fuse can leave the controls dead)

Why it matters

When LOCK ON is lit, the dishwasher cannot run, so unlocking is required before troubleshooting “won’t start” symptoms or testing parts like the electronic control board, door latch, or keypad.

To identify your Kenmore Elite dishwasher model, open the door and look for the model and serial tag on the tub rim or inner door area. For this unit, the model number you want to match is 66513193K900; use it when ordering parts or checking instructions in the 66513193K900 owner's manual.

Where to look on a Kenmore dishwasher

We most often see the model/serial label in one of these spots:

• Along the top edge of the tub opening (top rim) when the door is open
• On the left or right side wall of the tub opening (near the front)
• On the inner door frame area (around the perimeter)
• Occasionally on a small metal plate instead of a sticker

What the model number should look like

Kenmore model numbers are usually a long string of numbers and letters. For this Kenmore Elite dishwasher, you are looking for:

Item	Example for this dishwasher	Why you need it
Model number	66513193K900	Ensures parts and diagrams match your exact build
Serial number	Varies	Helps identify production run details for service

Tips if the label is hard to read

If the tag is faded or dirty, these steps usually help:

• Wipe the area with a damp cloth and a drop of dish soap; dry and re-check
• Use a flashlight and view from an angle to make faint printing easier to see
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in
• Write down the full model number exactly as shown (including any letters)

Why it matters

Kenmore 665-series dishwashers can use different racks, pumps, sensors, and controls depending on the exact model. Matching 66513193K900 helps you avoid ordering the wrong part, such as a drain pump, water inlet valve, or spray arm.

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite 66513193K900 dishwasher include not starting, not draining, poor cleaning, leaks, and detergent not dispensing. Most issues trace back to a door not fully latched, a tripped breaker, clogged filters or spray arms, or a drain or fill problem; use the 66513193K900 owner's manual troubleshooting table to narrow it down.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Won’t start or stops mid-cycle: door not latched, Start/Resume needs to be pressed again, control lock enabled, power interruption, blown fuse
• Won’t drain: clogged filter/sump area, kinked drain hose, drain pump problem, disposal inlet plug not removed (new disposal)
• Poor cleaning: blocked spray arm holes, overloaded racks, wrong detergent, hard water, filter needs cleaning
• Leaks: door seal wear, loose hose clamps, over-sudsing from wrong soap, tub or vent gasket leak
• Detergent left in dispenser: dishes blocking the dispenser door, detergent clumped or old, cycle interrupted

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no tools)

• Confirm the door is fully closed and latched; if the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and press Start/Resume.
• Check the home breaker or fuse for the dishwasher circuit.
• Look for large items (cookie sheets, cutting boards) blocking the detergent dispenser from opening.
• Inspect the bottom of the tub for debris around the filter area.
• Verify the drain hose routing is not kinked and is secured properly.

Parts that commonly fix these problems on 66513193K900

Symptom	Common part to inspect	What it does
Not draining	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269	Pumps water out to the drain line
Not filling or fills slowly	Dishwasher water inlet valve W10648041	Opens to let water into the dishwasher
Poor cleaning	Dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331	Distributes wash water through spray jets
Cloudy water, debris recirculating	Dishwasher filter W10872845	Traps food soil to protect the pump
Dead or intermittent power	Fuse W10258275	Protects the control from overheating/power issues

Why it matters

Catching the root cause early prevents repeat failures. For example, a clogged filter can lead to poor cleaning and drainage complaints, and a kinked drain hose can make a good drain pump look “bad.”
