To tell which Kenmore dishwasher you have, we look up the model number on the rating label. On Kenmore model 66515112K217, the label is typically on the inside edge of the door or the tub opening when you open the door.

Check these common spots first (in order):

• Inside the door along the left or right edge
• Along the top edge of the tub opening (under the counter lip)
• On the side wall of the tub opening near the front
• On the inner door panel area near the latch

Once you find it, write down both the model number and serial number exactly as shown.

Use the model number to match the correct parts list, diagrams, and instructions for your exact dishwasher.

• Match every character (numbers and letters) exactly
• Don’t use the number from the control panel styling or door badge
• If the label is hard to read, take a clear photo and zoom in
• Use the instructions in the 66515112K217 owner’s manual to confirm you’re identifying the correct unit

Kenmore dishwashers can look similar across multiple series, but internal components like the water inlet valve, drain pump, and heating element can vary by model. Using the rating label prevents ordering the wrong part and saves time on repairs.

Water standing in the bottom of your Kenmore dishwasher model 66515112K217 usually means the unit is not draining fully, or you are seeing the small amount of water that is normal during operation checks. Start by running CANCEL/DRAIN to force a drain cycle, then check the filter area and drain path for clogs.

• Press CANCEL/DRAIN once, then close the door within 3 seconds and let the drain run (about 2 minutes).
• Remove and clean the bottom filters; debris here is the most common reason for slow draining.
• Check the sink drain or garbage disposer connection; the disposer inlet knockout plug must be removed.
• Inspect the drain hose for kinks, crushing, or a blockage.
• Look for food or labels stuck at the drain inlet area inside the tub.
• If you hear a hum but no draining, the drain pump may be jammed or failing.

During installation and operation checks, it is normal to see water in the bottom of the tub shortly after starting a cycle. If the dishwasher finishes a cycle and still has standing water above the filter area, that points to a drain problem.

If cleaning and hose checks do not solve it, these model-compatible parts are common next steps:

• Dishwasher drain pump W10876537 (drains water out of the tub)
• Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A (can clog, kink, or collapse)
• Dishwasher filter WPW10463906 (restricted filtration can slow water flow)

Standing water can cause odors, redeposit soil on dishes, and strain the drain pump. Restoring proper draining protects the pump and helps the dishwasher clean and dry correctly.

For the correct drain procedure, filter location, and troubleshooting chart for 66515112K217, follow the instructions in the 66515112K217 owner’s manual.
