Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66513892K800 is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear item or a single failed component and the tub is in good shape. Repairs become less worthwhile when multiple major parts are failing or the cost approaches a large share of a new dishwasher.
Quick way to decide (cost vs. condition)
Use this checklist before you buy parts or schedule service:
- Age: Under ~10 years typically favors repair; over ~10 years depends on condition and repair cost.
- Failure type: Drain issues, leaks, and heating problems are often repairable with one part.
- Tub condition: Rust, cracks, or chronic leaks from the tub usually push toward replacement.
- Performance history: If it has been cleaning and draining well until now, repair is usually smart.
- Total repair cost: If parts plus labor are close to a big chunk of replacement cost, replacement can make more sense.
| What you’re seeing | Common cause | Typical direction |
|---|---|---|
| Water left in tub, won’t drain | Kinked hose, disposer plug, drain pump | Repair first |
| Poor drying, cool water | Heating circuit issue | Repair first |
| Door leaking | Worn door seal | Repair first |
| Random stopping, dead panel | Fuse or electronic control issue | Compare cost |
High-value repairs for this model
These are common, targeted fixes that often restore normal operation:
- Drain problems: check hose routing and consider the dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269
- Poor drying or not heating: consider the dishwasher heating element W10518394
- Door leaks: inspect and replace the dishwasher door seal W10542314 if torn or flattened
- No power symptoms: a failed thermal fuse is a common single-part fix (see wiring checks in the 66513892K800 owner's manual)
Why it matters
A dishwasher that is otherwise sound can run for years with routine maintenance and occasional part replacement. The manual also calls out care items like cleaning and checking the drain air gap (where required) to prevent repeat drain problems and service calls.
