Kenmore 66513739K600 dishwasher Parts

For Kenmore dishwasher model 66513739K600, the most reliable “hard reset” is to cancel the current cycle and clear the control, then restart a new cycle. Use CANCEL/DRAIN to run the drain (about 2 minutes if needed), then press START/RESUME to begin again (see the 66513739K600 owner's manual).

• Press CANCEL/DRAIN once; the Cancel/Drain light should turn on.
• Close the door and let the dishwasher drain fully (typically about 2 minutes if it needs to drain).
• If you want to stop the drain early, press CANCEL/DRAIN again.
• Select your new cycle and options.
• Check that the detergent dispenser is filled for the new cycle.
• Press START/RESUME.

If LOCK ON is lit, the keypad is disabled and it can look like the dishwasher will not reset.

• Press and hold HEATED DRY for 4 seconds to toggle the lock.
• When the lock turns off, repeat the reset steps above.

Canceling and draining clears the current cycle logic and helps prevent standing water, incomplete washes, and false “won’t start” symptoms when you are trying to restart the dishwasher.

On the Kenmore 66513739K600 dishwasher, the “bottom piece” people most often mean is the heating element at the base of the tub, which heats wash water and helps with drying. If you mean the bottom rack or the bottom panel, those are different parts.

• Heating element: Heats water during the cycle and boosts drying performance.
• Bottom rack: Holds plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils; many items up to about 13 inches tall fit here.
• Toe kick / lower access panel: The removable panel at the very bottom front that covers wiring and plumbing.
• Sump area (under the tub): Where water collects before the pump circulates or drains it.

For this model, the replacement part is the dishwasher heating element W10518394. Always shut off power at the breaker before servicing any electrical part.

• Dishes come out wet or cool at the end of the cycle
• Poor cleaning from low water temperature
• Plastic items do not dry well
• Cycle may run longer than normal

Using the right term helps you order the correct Kenmore dishwasher part the first time, especially when “bottom piece” could mean the heating element, bottom rack, or the lower access panel.

On a Kenmore dishwasher, an E25 code means the dishwasher is not draining correctly; the most common cause is a blocked drain pump area or a loose or missing pump cover. On model 66513739K600, start by checking for a clog in the sump and drain path, then verify the drain hose routing.

• Turn off power at the breaker before inspecting inside the tub.
• Remove the lower rack and look for debris around the sump area (glass, labels, food).
• Check the drain hose for kinks, crushing, or a low loop that can cause backflow.
• If you have a countertop drain air gap, clean it; a clogged air gap can mimic a drain pump problem.
• Run a Cancel/Drain (if available) and listen: a steady pump sound with no water movement points to a blockage.

If the drain path is clear but the dishwasher still will not drain, the drain pump can be the failure point.

For this model, the most relevant replacement part is the dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269.

A drain fault can leave dirty water in the tub, trigger repeated error codes, and cause odors. Fixing the drain restriction early also helps protect the circulation system and electronic control from repeated cycle interruptions.

• Use the 66513739K600 owner's manual for cleaning and care guidance, including drain-related maintenance.
• If your dishwasher displays other codes along with E25, use the Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes reference to narrow the cause.
