Kenmore 66513749K601 dishwasher Parts

Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including Kenmore model 66513749K601, as long as the part is still manufactured and available. The key is matching parts by the full model number so you get the correct fit and electrical ratings.

How to make sure you order the right part

Use the complete model number 66513749K601 and confirm the part location and wiring or hose routing in the 66513749K601 owner's manual. For installation-related parts (like drain hose routing and clamps), the 66513749K601 installation guide helps you verify the correct setup.

• Find the model number on the dishwasher frame (typically along the door edge).
• Match the symptom to the system: draining, heating, filling, leaking, or controls.
• Compare the part name and part ID before ordering.
• If you are replacing a hose, confirm the high-loop routing under the counter.
• If you are working on wiring, use proper grounding and never use an extension cord.

Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label located just inside the door opening. On model 66513749K601, you’ll find that label on the inner door area; the model number and serial number are listed together.

Where to look on the dishwasher

Check these common label locations first:

• Open the dishwasher door fully and look along the left side of the inner door frame
• Look on the top edge of the inner door
• Look on the side walls of the tub opening near the front
• If you see multiple stickers, use the one that says Model and Serial

For a picture and the exact label callout for this design, use the 66513749K601 owner's manual.

What to write down (and why)

Record both numbers exactly as shown.

What to copy	Example format	Why we need it
Model number	66513749K601	Ensures parts fit your exact Kenmore dishwasher
Serial number	Letters and numbers	Helps match production changes and correct revisions

Tips to avoid common mistakes

These quick checks prevent ordering the wrong part:

• Copy the full model number, including any ending letters or digits
• Do not use the number from the control panel styling or a “series” name (like 665) by itself
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo with the door open and good lighting
• Match the model number format exactly when searching parts (no spaces)

Why it matters

Kenmore dishwashers often share similar looks across multiple model variations, but parts like the dishwasher electronic control board, dishwasher water inlet valve, or dishwasher heating element can differ by model and production run. Using the label’s model number keeps the match accurate the first time.

Yes, it’s usually worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66513749K601 when the problem is a common wear item (leak, no heat, won’t drain) and the repair cost stays well below the price of a comparable new dishwasher. For major electrical or motor failures, replacement can make more sense.

Quick way we decide: repair vs replace

Use these checkpoints before buying parts or scheduling service:

• Age: Under 10 years old typically favors repair; over 10 years old depends on the failure.
• Repair cost: If the total repair is under about 50% of replacement cost, repair is the better value.
• Failure type: Seals, hoses, and heating issues are usually cost-effective; control and motor assemblies are higher-cost.
• Condition: If the tub is rusted, cracked, or heavily leaking, replacement is usually the better path.
• Performance: If cycles are long or results are poor, start with cleaning and loading checks from the 66513749K601 owner’s manual.

Common repairs on 66513749K601 that are often worth it

These are frequent, fixable issues where parts replacement is typically practical:

• Not drying or water staying cool: check the dishwasher heating element W10518394
• Not draining or standing water: check the dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269
• Door leaking: inspect the dishwasher door seal W10542314
• Slow drain or leaks at the connection: inspect the drain hose routing and clamps

Typical cost-to-value comparison

Problem symptom	Likely area	Typical “worth repairing” signal
Won’t dry	Heating circuit	Part cost is moderate; labor is usually straightforward
Won’t drain	Drain pump or hose	Often a single-part fix
Leaks at door	Door seal	Low risk, high payoff repair
Dead/no response	Fuse or control	If multiple electrical parts are needed, replacement can win

Why it matters

A targeted repair keeps a solid dishwasher in service for years and avoids the cost and hassle of replacement. We also see many “bad dishwasher” complaints resolved by correcting detergent use, rinse aid use, and cycle selection outlined in the 66513749K601 owner’s manual.

If you’re on the fence

• Price a comparable new dishwasher first
• Add up parts + labor + any installation changes
• If you’re seeing error codes, use the Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes guide to narrow the failure before buying parts

Common problems we see with the Kenmore 66513749K601 dishwasher include not starting or stopping mid-cycle, poor drying, spotting or filming, and occasional leaks or draining issues. Many “no run” complaints come down to the door not latching fully or a power interruption; the 66513749K601 owner's manual troubleshooting section walks through the quick checks.

Most common symptoms and what they usually point to

• Dishwasher will not run or stops: door not closed and latched, wrong cycle selection, tripped breaker or blown fuse, motor overload that resets after a few minutes
• START/RESUME light flashing: door opened during the cycle or power was interrupted
• Dishes not dry: overloaded racks, rinse aid empty, air-dry option selected, plastics holding water
• White film or odor: mineral buildup and soil inside the tub; needs routine interior cleaning
• Marks or stains: aluminum rubbing dishes (gray/black marks), tomato-based foods causing orange staining on plastics

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no tools)

1. Confirm the door closes tightly and clicks fully into the latch.
2. Verify the cycle and options are selected correctly, then press START/RESUME.
3. Check the home breaker or fuse, then restore power if needed.
4. Make sure the water shutoff valve is open.
5. If the unit stopped, wait a few minutes; an overloaded motor can reset itself.

Parts that commonly relate to these problems

Symptom	Common part area	Example part for this model
No heat, poor drying, long cycles	Heating circuit	Dishwasher heating element W10518394
Won’t start, dead display, intermittent operation	Controls and safety devices	Dishwasher electronic control board WPW10084141, fuse W10258275
Won’t drain, water left in bottom	Drain system	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269, dishwasher drain hose 8269144A
Leaks at the door	Door sealing	Dishwasher door seal W10542314

Why it matters

Catching the basic causes early (door latch, power, water supply, loading, rinse aid, and cleaning) prevents repeat cycle failures and helps protect the pump, heater, and control board from unnecessary stress.

In a Kenmore dishwasher model 66513749K601, the most commonly replaced parts are the components that heat, fill, drain, and seal water, plus rack items that wear from daily loading. We see the highest replacement rates with the heating element, drain components, door seal, inlet valve, and electronic controls.

Most commonly replaced dishwasher parts

These are the parts that most often cause “won’t drain,” “won’t dry,” leaks, or poor cleaning:

• Heating element (helps heat water and supports drying); see dishwasher heating element W10518394
• Drain pump (pushes water out at the end of wash); see dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269
• Door seal (prevents leaks around the door); see dishwasher door seal W10542314
• Water inlet valve (controls water fill into the tub); see dishwasher water inlet valve W10648041
• Electronic control board (cycle logic, timing, and some user interface functions); see dishwasher electronic control board WPW10084141
• Drain hose (leaks, kinks, or internal buildup); examples include dishwasher drain hose 8269144A and dishwasher drain hose WPW10545278
• Rack accessories (breakage and wear), such as dishwasher silverware basket W10807920

Quick symptom-to-part guide

Symptom	Most likely part area	Common examples for 66513749K601
Water left in tub	Drain system	Drain pump, drain hose, sump area
Dishes not dry	Heating and venting	Heating element, vent components
Leaks at the door	Door sealing	Door seal, door alignment issues
Won’t fill or fills slowly	Water supply	Water inlet valve, supply line issues
Dead or erratic operation	Controls and power	Control board, fuse

Why these parts fail (and what helps)

Normal wear plus buildup is the big driver. Your 66513749K601 owner’s manual also notes that some cycles pause until water reaches the proper temperature, so heating-related issues can show up as long cycles or poor results.

• Grease and food soil can restrict drain paths and spray performance
• Hard water can leave mineral scale on heating surfaces
• Door seals compress and crack over time
• Hoses can kink during installation or get brittle with age
• Electronics can fail after years of heat and moisture exposure

What to check before replacing parts

• Confirm the cycle fully completed and the door latched firmly
• Clean the filter area and check spray arms for clogs
• Verify the sink disposer knockout plug was removed (new installs)
• Check for kinks in the drain hose and proper high loop
• Use the cycle and option guidance in the manual to match soil level and load

A small amount of water in the bottom of your Kenmore dishwasher model 66513749K601 can be normal during operation, but standing water after the cycle ends usually points to a draining problem such as a blocked drain path, a clogged air gap, or an issue with the drain pump.

What to check first (fast, no tools)

• Confirm the cycle is fully complete; canceling mid-cycle can leave water behind.
• Look for food debris around the sump area and lower spray arm.
• If you have a sink disposer, make sure the disposer knockout plug was removed during installation.
• If your setup has a countertop air gap, check it for buildup.
• Listen during the drain portion of the cycle; a hum with little or no draining often means an obstruction at the pump.

Drain air gap and drain hose checks

Your use and care information calls out the drain air gap as a common cause when a dishwasher is not draining well. If your local plumbing uses an air gap, clean it periodically following the air gap manufacturer’s instructions.

Use this quick guide:

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do
Water backs up after sink drains	Clogged air gap or house drain restriction	Clean air gap; clear sink drain/disposer
Water remains after every cycle	Drain hose kink or blockage	Inspect routing; clear blockage
Hums but won’t drain	Pump obstruction or failed pump	Check for debris; replace pump if needed

For installation-specific drain routing and disposer connection details, follow the installation guide.

When a part is the likely fix

If the drain path is clear and the dishwasher still leaves water, the drain pump is a common next suspect on this model. We typically replace the pump when it runs but cannot move water, or when it is electrically dead.

• Consider the dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 if the unit won’t evacuate water and the hose and air gap are clear.
• If the dishwasher is completely dead or behaves erratically, a blown fuse can also prevent normal operation; check the fuse W10258275 only after confirming power and door latch basics in the owner's manual.

Why it matters

Standing water can lead to odor, poor cleaning, and repeated drain errors. Restoring proper drainage protects the pump, helps cycles finish correctly, and keeps wash performance consistent.
