Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 66513724K601. The key is matching parts to your exact model number so the fit, wiring, and water connections are correct for your dishwasher.
How to find the right part for your Kenmore dishwasher
Use your model number (66513724K601) and confirm the part’s location and function in the 66513724K601 owner's manual. The manual shows major components (like the heating element, water inlet opening, and control panel) so you can identify what you’re replacing.
- Find the model and serial label on the dishwasher (commonly on the door frame)
- Match the symptom to the system involved (fill, wash, drain, heat)
- Compare the part name and ID before ordering
- Replace any seals or clamps you disturb during the repair
- Run a short cycle after installation to check for leaks and proper operation
Common parts we stock for model 66513724K601
These are examples of frequently replaced items for this model:
| What it affects | Common replacement part (example) | Typical symptom |
|---|---|---|
| Heating/drying | Dishwasher heating element W10518394 | Dishes not drying, cool water |
| Draining | Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 | Water left in tub |
| Filling | Dishwasher water inlet valve WPW10158389 | Won’t fill, fills slowly |
| Leaks at door | Dishwasher door seal W10542314 | Water at the front of unit |
Why it matters
Kenmore dishwashers are built for years of dependable operation, but normal wear items (pumps, valves, seals, and electrical components) eventually need replacement. Using the correct model-matched part helps restore cleaning performance and prevents repeat failures.
If you’re troubleshooting before ordering
If your dishwasher is showing an error or acting up, use a model-family guide like Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes to narrow the problem to the wash motor, drain system, heater circuit, or controls.

Why is water standing in the bottom of my Kenmore dishwasher?
Water standing in the bottom of your Kenmore dishwasher model 66513724K601 almost always points to a drain problem: the cycle did not fully complete, the drain path is restricted (air gap, hose, disposer connection), or the drain pump is blocked or failing. Use the steps in the 66513724K601 owner's manual to confirm the correct checks.
Quick checks that fix most “standing water” complaints
- Make sure the cycle is actually complete (cancel/drain if your model supports it).
- Check the sink drain and garbage disposer for a slow clog (a backed-up sink often means a backed-up dishwasher).
- If you have a countertop drain air gap, remove the cap and clean out debris.
- Inspect the drain hose for kinks, crushing, or a sag that traps water.
- If the dishwasher hums but does not drain, check the pump area for broken glass, labels, or food debris.
Drain system checkpoints (in the right order)
The manual calls out these common causes when water remains in the dishwasher.
| What to check | What you are looking for | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|
| Cycle complete | Unit stopped mid-cycle | Water left behind is normal until drain step runs |
| Disposer knockout plug | Plug still installed at disposer inlet | Dishwasher cannot push water into disposer |
| Drain air gap (if equipped) | Soil buildup under cap | Restriction that prevents draining |
| Drain hose routing | Kinked, pinched, or blocked | Slow drain or no drain |
| Drain pump | Obstruction or weak pump | Pump may need cleaning or replacement |
Parts that commonly solve a no-drain condition
If the drain path is clear and the dishwasher still will not pump out, the drain pump is a frequent fix for this symptom on many Kenmore dishwashers.
- Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269: pushes wastewater out through the drain hose.
Why it matters
Standing water can cause odors, redeposit soil on dishes, and lead to poor wash results because dirty water can remain in the sump between cycles. Restoring normal drainage also helps protect your kitchen plumbing from backups.

What is the average lifespan of 66513724K601?
The average lifespan of the Kenmore 66513724K601 dishwasher is 10 years. Keeping the filter area clean, using the right detergent, and fixing leaks or draining problems quickly helps you reach that service life with fewer breakdowns.
What affects lifespan most
- Water quality and hard water (scale buildup can stress the heating and wash system)
- How often you run it (daily use wears pumps, seals, and racks faster)
- Drain performance (standing water strains the drain pump and can cause odors)
- Door sealing and leaks (leaks can damage wiring and the control)
- Routine cleaning (soil buildup reduces wash performance and increases run time)
Quick maintenance checklist (monthly)
- Clean the bottom area around the sump and check the overfill float moves freely (see the 66513724K601 owner's manual).
- Run a dishwasher cleaner cycle or a hot wash with an empty tub.
- Inspect the door perimeter for gaps, tears, or flattening.
- Confirm the drain hose has a proper high loop and is not kinked.
Common wear items and what they do
| Part | What it impacts | Typical symptom when worn |
|---|---|---|
| Dishwasher door seal W10542314 | Prevents leaks at the door | Water on floor near the front |
| Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 | Pushes water out during drain | Water left in tub, humming, slow drain |
| Dishwasher heating element W10518394 | Heats water and supports drying | Poor drying, cooler wash temps |
Why it matters
Once a dishwasher reaches the 10-year mark, small issues like a slow drain, minor leak, or weak heating can cascade into bigger failures (pump motor strain, control faults, or tub corrosion). Replacing a worn seal or pump early often prevents secondary damage.
