Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still support Kenmore dishwasher parts, and for Kenmore model 66513543N413 many common replacement parts are available for typical repairs like draining issues, leaking, poor cleaning, and rack problems. The key is matching parts to your exact model number using the 66513543N413 owner's manual.
Use your full model number 66513543N413 (from the tub frame label) and match the symptom to the part category.
- Confirm the model number exactly (all digits and letters)
- Identify the symptom (won’t drain, won’t fill, leaks, door won’t latch, rack won’t roll)
- Check for visible damage (cracks, broken clips, worn wheels, loose wiring)
- Compare the old part shape and connector style before ordering
- Follow the safety steps in the 66513543N413 installation guide before servicing
These are frequent fixes for this model when performance drops or a component breaks.
| Symptom | Likely part to check | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Dishwasher won’t drain | Drain pump, drain hose | Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 |
| Not filling or fills slowly | Water inlet valve | Dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771 |
| Poor wash coverage | Spray arm, circulation issues | Dishwasher spray arm, lower W10849471 |
| Door won’t stay closed | Door latch | Dishwasher door latch WPW10653840 |
| Upper rack problems | Adjusters, rail stops, wheels | Dishwasher rack adjuster W10712395 |
Kenmore dishwashers are built with serviceable components, so replacing a targeted part (like a drain pump, inlet valve, or rack adjuster) often restores normal operation without replacing the whole dishwasher.
If your dishwasher is flashing lights or showing a fault pattern, use Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes to narrow the problem to the right circuit or component.

How do I know what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is usually printed on a sticker or metal tag inside the door opening. For the unit on this page, the model number format looks like 66513543N413; matching that exact number ensures you get the right parts and troubleshooting steps.
Check these common locations first (in order):
- Along the inner door frame (left or right side)
- On the top edge of the door (visible when the door is open)
- On the tub wall just inside the door opening
- Behind the toe-kick panel at the bottom front (if your model uses a tag there)
- On the side of the cabinet frame (visible when the door is open)
If you find multiple numbers, use the one labeled Model (not the serial number).
Once you have the model number, you can match parts and instructions correctly for your exact Kenmore dishwasher.
| You’re trying to do | Why the model number matters | Example for this page |
|---|---|---|
| Order replacement parts | Parts vary by series and revision | 66513543N413 |
| Diagnose a problem | Error codes and symptoms can differ | Use the model-specific guides |
| Confirm fitment | Racks, pumps, and latches are not universal | Match by model first |
- Copy the model number exactly, including letters and all digits
- Take a clear photo of the tag before ordering
- If the tag is worn, try a flashlight at an angle to read faint printing
- Use the model number when checking diagrams and part descriptions
- When replacing rack hardware, match the style and mounting points (not just the name)
Kenmore dishwashers in the 665 series share many components, but small design changes can affect fit. Using the exact model number helps ensure parts like a door latch, drain pump, or rack adjuster match your dishwasher.

Why is my Kenmore dishwasher leaking from the bottom?
A bottom leak on Kenmore dishwasher model 66513543N413 is usually caused by water escaping past the door seal, a loose or damaged hose connection, or a leak at the pump and sump area. We focus first on where the water appears (front, center, or back) to pinpoint the failing part.
- Pull the toe-kick panel and run a short cycle to see where the first drip starts.
- Check the door seal and lower door area for tears, gaps, or heavy buildup that prevents sealing.
- Confirm the dishwasher is level; a forward tilt can push water over the front lip.
- Inspect the drain hose routing for kinks, cracks, or a loose clamp (especially near the sink/disposer).
- Look for oversudsing (too much detergent or non-dishwasher soap) that can force water out the front.
| Where you see water | Most common cause | What to inspect first |
|---|---|---|
| Front center (under door) | Door not sealing, unit not level, oversudsing | Door seal area, leveling feet, detergent use |
| Center bottom (under tub) | Pump/sump leak, hose/grommet leak | Pump area, hose connections, grommet |
| Back left/right | Fill or drain plumbing leak | Water inlet valve area, drain hose connection |
If the leak is coming from underneath (not the door), these parts are frequent culprits:
- Dishwasher pump grommet WPW10538166 (can seep if hardened, nicked, or not seated)
- Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A (splits, pinholes, or loose clamps)
- Dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771 (can drip at the valve body or fittings)
Even a small leak can damage flooring and cabinets, and it can also trip a float or safety condition that stops the cycle. Finding the first drip point is the fastest way to avoid replacing the wrong part.
- Use the 66513543N413 owner's manual for leveling guidance, detergent recommendations, and normal water behavior.
- Use the 66513543N413 installation guide to verify correct drain hose routing and connection points.
