How do I tell what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label, which is typically located inside the door area on the tub or inner door frame. For your unit, the model number format looks like 66513463K901; match the full number exactly for parts.
Check these common label locations first (in order):
- Open the door and look along the inner door frame (left or right side)
- Check the top edge of the door opening
- Look on the tub wall just inside the door opening
- If the label is hard to see, wipe the area clean and use a flashlight
The label will list both model number and serial number. The manual’s parts and features section also points out the model and serial number label location. See the 66513463K901 owner’s manual.
Write the model number exactly as shown, including all letters and numbers.
- Copy it character-for-character (example: 66513463K901)
- Do not add spaces or punctuation
- Keep the full suffix (the ending characters often change the parts list)
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Model starts with 665 | Common Kenmore dishwasher prefix | Use the full model to look up parts |
| Serial number only | Not enough for parts matching | Find the model number on the same label |
| Faded or scratched label | Normal wear | Clean gently, use angled light, then record it |
We use the exact model number to match the correct Kenmore dishwasher parts (for example, a control board, heating element, or door seal). Even small model suffix differences can change which parts fit and which troubleshooting steps apply.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66513463K901 is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear item or a mid-priced repair, especially if the tub is solid and the unit is under about 10 years old. If the repair involves multiple major components, replacement often makes more sense.
- If the dishwasher drains poorly, check for a clog first; a failed pump can point to a dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269.
- If dishes are cold and wet at the end, heating issues can involve the dishwasher heating element W10518394.
- If the unit is leaking at the door, a worn gasket is a common fix with the dishwasher door seal W10542314.
- If the dishwasher is completely dead, check power supply and the internal fuse; see the 66513463K901 owner’s manual for safety and troubleshooting basics.
- If the tub is cracked or heavily rusted, replacement is the better investment.
Use this as a simple way to weigh the repair against the dishwasher’s age and condition.
| Situation | Typical recommendation | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Minor leak, poor drying, slow drain | Repair | Common parts, predictable fix |
| One major part failure (pump, control) | Depends on age | Cost can approach a large share of a new unit |
| Multiple symptoms or repeat breakdowns | Replace | Stacked repairs add up fast |
A targeted repair can restore cleaning and drying performance for far less than the cost and hassle of replacing an undercounter dishwasher. On the other hand, repeated major repairs can turn into higher total cost than upgrading.
- Confirm the symptom (no drain, no heat, leak, no power)
- Check for simple causes (clogs, loading issues, loose wiring)
- Use the troubleshooting section in the 66513463K901 owner’s manual
- Price the likely part(s) before scheduling service
