Kenmore Elite 46513323600 dishwasher Parts

Kenmore is a brand name, and the Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 46513323600 is a drawer-style dishwasher sold under the Kenmore label. For this model, the most reliable way to confirm the actual manufacturer is to match the model and serial tag details to the identification information in the 46513323600 owner’s manual.

How to identify the actual manufacturer on your unit

We recommend using the model and serial number label on the dishwasher itself, then cross-checking it with the documentation.

• Open the drawer and look for the model and serial number label on the side of the drawer
• Write down the full model number (46513323600) and the serial number
• Compare the label details to the product identification section in the 46513323600 owner’s manual
• If you are ordering parts, use the full model number to ensure correct fit
• If the dishwasher has two drawers, check both drawers for labels or markings

What we know about this model from the manual

The Use & Care Guide identifies this as a Kenmore Elite drawer dishwasher and lists the model family as 465.1332xx / 465.1333xx / 465.1334xx (color number varies by model). That confirms the platform and style, even when the underlying manufacturer name is not printed on the front badge.

For the Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 46513323600, a practical “hard reset” is to cancel the current cycle and fully power-cycle the unit. Start by using the control panel’s Cancel/Drain function, then restore power and restart a cycle using the steps in the 46513323600 owner's manual.

Quick hard reset steps (most effective)

• Press Cancel/Drain once to stop the cycle and drain.
• Wait for the drain to finish and the dishwasher to shut off.
• Turn power OFF at the breaker (or unplug if accessible) for 3 minutes.
• Turn power ON.
• Select a cycle, press Start/Resume once, then close the drawer within a few seconds.

If the controls seem “stuck” or won’t accept changes

This model “locks in” cycle and option selections after the initial fill. If you try to change settings after that point, the dishwasher may beep or flash instead of switching.

• Use Cancel/Drain to end the running cycle.
• Re-select your cycle and options.
• Press Start/Resume, then close the drawer promptly.

What “reset” does (and does not) do

Action	What it accomplishes	What it won’t fix
Cancel/Drain	Stops the cycle and drains water	Failed heating, filling, or draining parts
Power-cycle	Clears many temporary control glitches	Repeated error codes caused by a bad component

Why it matters

A proper cancel, drain, and power-cycle clears many temporary control issues (stalled cycle, unresponsive keypad, odd light behavior) without replacing parts. If problems return, checking error codes is the fastest next step using Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes.

Common problems on the Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 46513323600 are draining trouble, not starting, poor cleaning, leaks, and weak drying. Most issues trace back to maintenance items (filters, spray arms), a door/lock problem, or a failed safety or heating component; use the 46513323600 owner's manual for model-specific checks.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Won’t drain or drains slowly: clogged coarse filter cup, blocked drain path, kinked hose, or a loose clamp
• Won’t start: door not fully latched, control lock settings, power supply issue, or a blown thermal fuse
• Poor cleaning: clogged spray arm holes, overloaded racks, wrong detergent amount, or hard water filming
• Leaks: loose inlet or drain hose connections, damaged seals, or an installation leveling issue
• Poor drying: incorrect detergent/rinse aid use, heater/thermostat problem, or venting/airflow issue

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

1. Cut power at the breaker before any inspection under the unit.
2. Check the coarse filter cup in the bottom of the drawer and empty it; the manual notes it collects large debris and must be seated flush before running.
3. Confirm detergent use: use only automatic dishwasher detergent; too little causes poor cleaning and spotting, too much can cause suds and overflow.
4. Inspect for leaks at inlet and drain hose connections; the manual recommends checking these periodically.

Parts that commonly relate to these problems (for this model)

Symptom	Part to consider	What it affects
Won’t start, dead control	Dishwasher thermal fuse 99003624	Protects the control circuit from overheating
Poor drying, moisture left	Dishwasher vent fan motor assembly WPW10155595	Helps move moist air out for better drying
Draining leaks at hose	Drain hose clamp WP596669	Secures the drain hose connection

Why it matters

Catching clogs and small leaks early helps prevent repeat wash problems, standing water odors, and moisture damage around the dishwasher. Correct detergent use also prevents suds-related overflow and permanent glass etching.

On the Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 46513323600, the F4E1 code indicates a wash pump or drive motor problem (the dishwasher is not able to circulate water correctly). In most cases, fixing the underlying pump or motor issue and then clearing the code restores normal washing.

What you should check first

Before replacing parts, we recommend these quick checks because they commonly trigger circulation errors:

• Turn off power at the breaker for safety, then restore power and try a new cycle.
• Confirm the drawer closes fully and nothing is blocking the wash arm movement.
• Clean the coarse filter area so water can circulate properly.
• Check for debris around the lower spray arm and sump area.
• Verify the dishwasher is getting proper fill (you should hear water enter early in the cycle).

For model-specific operating and care steps (including filter and wash system details), use the 46513323600 owner's manual.

Clearing the F4E1 code after a repair

After you correct the wash pump or motor issue, you typically need to clear the stored fault so the control will run normally.

Common reset method used on many Kenmore drawer-style controls:

• Press any three buttons in sequence (1-2-3).
• Repeat the same 1-2-3 sequence three times.
• Wait for the control to exit the diagnostic/reset routine.

If your control panel layout differs, follow the exact reset/diagnostic steps in the 46513323600 owner's manual.

Parts that are often involved

If the dishwasher fills but does not wash (no strong spray sound, poor cleaning, or stops with F4E1), these components are commonly inspected during diagnosis:

Symptom	Most likely area	What it affects
Fills but no spray action	Wash pump/drive motor	Water circulation through spray arms
Stops mid-cycle, dead control	Thermal protection	Power to control circuit
Poor drying plus moisture issues	Venting system	Air movement and moisture removal

If you are also seeing power interruptions or overheating symptoms, the dishwasher thermal fuse 99003624 is one of the protective parts that may be checked.

Why it matters

A circulation fault means dishes will come out dirty because detergent and hot water are not being forced through the spray arms. Addressing F4E1 quickly also helps prevent repeat stoppages mid-cycle.
