Kenmore 2213222N414 dishwasher Parts

Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label, which is typically located inside the door opening on the tub rim or inner door frame. For your unit, the model number format looks like 2213222N414; match the label exactly for correct parts.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the dishwasher door and inspect the tub rim around the opening.
• Check the left and right inner door frame edges.
• Look along the top edge of the door opening.
• Scan the tub wall just inside the door.
• Wipe the area clean; soap film can hide the print.

What the label should include

Most Kenmore dishwasher labels list both identifiers. Use the model number for parts lookup and the serial number for age and production details.

Label item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Ordering parts, fit checks, manuals	2213222N414 or 665.xxxx
Serial number	Manufacturing info, service history	Letters and numbers

If you still cannot find it

• Check the outer edge of the door (hinge side and latch side).
• Look behind the toe kick panel area (front bottom) for an additional sticker.
• If the label is damaged, compare your control panel layout and rack style to the diagrams in the 2213222N414 owner's manual.

Why it matters

Kenmore dishwashers often share similar designs across series, but parts like the door latch, rack adjusters, and pumps can vary by model. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct replacement, such as the dishwasher door latch WPW10653840 when a latch issue prevents starting.

Yes. We still support replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 2213222N414, by matching parts to your exact model number and the specific symptom (leaking, not draining, poor cleaning, door not latching). Using the model number prevents ordering a look-alike part that will not fit.

How to find the right part for your Kenmore 2213222N414

Start with the symptom, then confirm the part location and any access steps in the 2213222N414 owner's manual.

Common part lookups we see for this model include:

• Rack problems (rack won’t roll, rack won’t adjust height)
• Drain issues (standing water, slow drain)
• Fill issues (won’t fill, fills slowly)
• Leaks (door area, under the unit)
• Heating and drying complaints (water not hot, dishes not drying)

Popular parts that are commonly replaced

These are examples of parts available for 2213222N414 that often solve everyday problems:

• Dishwasher rack adjuster W10712395 for an upper rack that won’t raise/lower or sits unevenly
• Whirlpool dishwasher dishrack wheel W10195416V for a lower rack that binds, falls off track, or rolls poorly
• Dishwasher drain pump W10876537 for a dishwasher that won’t drain
• Dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771 for no-fill or weak-fill symptoms
• Dishwasher door latch WPW10653840 for a door that won’t close or a cycle that won’t start

Quick symptom-to-part checklist

Symptom	What to check first	Common part type
Won’t drain	Kinked hose, clogged filter area	Drain pump, drain hose
Won’t fill	Water supply on, inlet screen	Water inlet valve
Door won’t latch	Strike alignment, latch wear	Door latch
Upper rack issues	Broken adjusters, missing stops	Rack adjuster, rail stop

Why it matters

Kenmore dishwashers are built with serviceable components, so replacing a targeted part (like a drain pump, inlet valve, or rack hardware) restores performance without replacing the whole dishwasher.

Common problems we see with the Kenmore 2213222N414 dishwasher include not starting or stopping mid-cycle (often door-latch related), poor cleaning from clogged spray paths, draining issues, and drying or spotting problems tied to water temperature and rinse aid use. For model-specific operating checks, use the 2213222N414 owner's manual.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Dishwasher does not run: door not fully closed and latched, Control/Lock enabled, cycle not selected, or power interruption (tripped breaker/fuse).
• Start/Resume light blinking: door was opened or not closed quickly enough after pressing Start/Resume.
• Poor cleaning: blocked spray nozzles, overloaded racks, or soil buildup in the filter area.
• Not draining: kinked/blocked drain hose, clogged air gap, or a failing drain pump.
• Cloudy or spotted dishes: hard water, too little rinse aid, or incoming water below 120°F (49°C).

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no tools)

1. Close the door firmly; then press START/RESUME (or press it and close the door within 3 seconds if the light is blinking).
2. Confirm Control/Lock is off and a cycle is actually selected.
3. Verify house power (breaker/fuse) and that the dishwasher has power.
4. Check loading: large items should not interfere with the wash system at the back of the tub.
5. Confirm water heater setting and incoming water temperature are 120°F (49°C).

Parts that commonly fix these issues on this model

Symptom	Common fix	Example part for 2213222N414
Won’t start, won’t stay running	Door not latching	Dishwasher door latch WPW10653840
Won’t drain	Drain pump not pumping out	Dishwasher drain pump W10876537
Poor wash coverage	Spray arm worn or clogged	Dishwasher spray arm, lower W10849471
Slow fill or no fill	Water inlet valve restricted/failed	Dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771

Why it matters

Most “dead” or “won’t start” complaints are simple door-latch or control-lock conditions, while cleaning and spotting problems are often caused by loading, maintenance, and water temperature. Fixing the root cause prevents repeat failures and protects the pump, heater, and control.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 2213222N414 is usually worth it when the problem is a wear item (rack parts, latch, hoses, valve) or a single failed component; it becomes less cost-effective when multiple major electrical or motor-driven parts are failing at the same time. Use the 2213222N414 owner's manual troubleshooting section to narrow the failure before buying parts.

Quick way to decide (repair vs. replace)

We use these checkpoints because they match how dishwashers typically fail over time:

• Repair when the issue is mechanical or a single part (door won’t latch, won’t drain, rack won’t roll).
• Repair when the unit otherwise cleans and dries normally after the fix.
• Replace when you have repeated leaks, multiple error codes, or intermittent power/control issues.
• Replace when the repair requires multiple high-cost assemblies (control plus motor/pump, for example).
• Repair when you can do a safe DIY swap (many rack and hose repairs are straightforward).

Common repairs that are usually worth it on 2213222N414

These are frequent, targeted fixes that restore normal operation without rebuilding the whole dishwasher:

• Upper rack won’t adjust or sags: dishwasher rack adjuster W10712395
• Door won’t close or won’t start because it won’t latch: dishwasher door latch WPW10653840
• Not filling or filling slowly: dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771
• Not draining: check the drain path; if the pump is bad, dishwasher drain pump W10876537
• Poor wash coverage from below: dishwasher spray arm, lower W10849471

Cost and complexity snapshot

Repair type	Typical effort	Typical “worth it” signal
Rack/roller/stop parts	Low	Restores smooth racks, prevents damage
Latch/door seal issues	Low to medium	Fixes “won’t start” and many leaks
Inlet valve/drain hose	Medium	Fixes fill or drain complaints
Control or motor assemblies	High	Only worth it if the rest of the unit is in great shape

Why it matters

A correct diagnosis prevents buying the wrong part and helps you avoid repeat failures. The manual for this Kenmore dishwasher includes a dedicated Troubleshooting section and service information, which is the fastest way to confirm whether you’re dealing with a simple component failure or a larger system problem.

On Kenmore dishwasher model 2213222N414, the lower spray arm typically lifts off or releases from a center retainer so you can clean it or service the pump area. We remove the lower rack first, then release the spray arm carefully to avoid dropping debris into the sump.

Steps to remove the lower spray arm

• Turn off power at the breaker (dishwashers use line voltage under the tub).
• Pull out and remove the lower dishrack.
• If your model has a center cap or retainer, turn it counterclockwise to unlock, then lift it off.
• Lift the lower spray arm straight up off the hub.
• Check the spray arm nozzles for clogs; rinse under warm water.
• Reinstall by seating the arm fully, then locking the retainer back in place.

What to watch for (to prevent extra problems)

The spray arm sits above the filter and sump area. Keeping that area protected prevents screws or debris from falling into the pump.

• Place a towel over the pump and spray arm area when working above the sump (a common install and service best practice).
• Do not force the spray arm; if it will not lift, the retainer is still engaged.
• Clean the filters while you are there; a clogged filter can reduce wash pressure.

Quick troubleshooting table

What you see	Most likely cause	What we do next
Spray arm will not lift off	Center retainer still locked	Unlock retainer, then lift straight up
Poor cleaning after reinstall	Nozzles clogged or filter dirty	Rinse nozzles; clean and reinstall filters
Arm wobbles or hits dishes	Not seated on hub	Reseat arm; confirm retainer is tight

Related maintenance that helps wash performance

Your 2213222N414 uses a removable filter system. Cleaning it restores water flow and spray pressure.

• Remove upper filter assembly by turning 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lifting out
• Lift and pull the lower filter forward to remove
• Rinse under running water; use a soft brush for hard deposits

For the exact diagrams and part locations for your model, use the 2213222N414 owner's manual.

Why it matters

A properly seated lower spray arm and clean filter keep water pressure where it belongs, which improves cleaning and helps prevent redepositing food soil on dishes.
