Kenmore Elite 66514862N120 dishwasher Parts

Yes. For Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66514862N120, many common repairs are DIY-friendly (like replacing a spray arm, door seal, or latch) as long as we shut off power and water first and follow the steps in the 66514862N120 owner's manual.

Many customers successfully replace mechanical parts and simple assemblies; electrical diagnostics and hardwired connections take more skill.

Before starting any repair, we use these steps to prevent shocks, leaks, and injuries:

• Turn off power at the breaker (do not rely on the door switch alone).
• Shut off the dishwasher water supply valve.
• Let the unit cool; do not touch the heating element during or right after a cycle.
• Avoid leaving the door open when not loading or unloading.
• Keep sharp items positioned so they cannot cut or damage the door seal.
• If hot water has not been used for 2 weeks or more, run hot water at the sink for several minutes before starting the dishwasher (reduces risk from trapped gas in the water system).

If your symptoms match, these model-specific parts are common DIY replacements:

• Leaking at the bottom of the door: dishwasher door seal, lower W11664713
• Dishwasher will not latch or start reliably: latch assembly (includes switch) W11412299
• Not filling or filling slowly: fill valve assembly W11434044 or water inlet W11535094
• Poor wash coverage: dishwasher spray arm, lower W11550888 or dishwasher manifold and spray arm assembly W11545334
• Drain problems or water left in tub: hose-drain,e W11414944

Replacing the right part the right way prevents repeat leaks, protects the door seal and tub gasket, and helps the dishwasher maintain proper water pressure and wash performance.

For ordering, we recommend using the parts list for model 66514862N120 first; you can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Yes. You can still get replacement parts for Kenmore dishwashers, including the Kenmore Elite 66514862N120, by matching your model number to the correct parts list and ordering the exact components you need (for example, a water inlet valve, door seal, or drain hose). Use the 66514862N120 owner's manual to confirm the right part and safe service steps.

To avoid ordering the wrong component, we recommend these checks before you buy:

• Confirm the full model number on the dishwasher’s rating label: 66514862N120
• Identify the symptom (leak, no fill, not draining, won’t start, poor cleaning)
• Match the part by description and ID, not just by looks
• Compare where the part mounts and how many wire terminals or hose ports it has
• Review any installation notes and safety warnings in the manual

These are examples of parts available for this model that often solve everyday problems:

Kenmore dishwashers use model-specific parts and revisions. Ordering by model number helps ensure proper fit, correct electrical connections, and leak-free water routing, which is especially important for inlet valves, door seals, and drain components.

Kenmore model numbers are structured so the first 3 digits identify the manufacturer behind the Kenmore brand, the next set of digits identifies the base product design, and the remaining characters narrow it down to a specific version. For your Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66514862N120, those ending characters matter when matching parts.

Most Kenmore model numbers break down like this:

• Prefix (first 3 digits): identifies the manufacturer that built the appliance for Kenmore
• Base model digits (middle group): identifies the core platform or design family
• Suffix (ending digits/letters): identifies the exact variation (features, color, production change, or revision)

Even small suffix changes can affect fit and function. Using the complete model number helps us match the correct dishwasher parts list, including common repair items such as:

• Water inlet and fill components
• Door sealing components
• Drain hose and clamps
• Latch and switch assemblies
• Spray arm and manifold assemblies

We recommend matching the model number exactly as shown on the dishwasher’s rating label, then cross-checking it against the parts list and the owner's manual for your Kenmore Elite 66514862N120.

Dishwashers often have multiple revisions within the same “series.” Reading the model number correctly prevents ordering a part that looks similar but mounts differently, uses a different connector, or seals differently.

Yes. Repairing your Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66514862N120 is worth it when the problem is a single, common failure (won’t fill, won’t drain, door won’t latch, minor leak) and the tub is in good shape. Replacement makes more sense when multiple expensive issues stack up.

Use these checkpoints before you spend money:

• If the dishwasher is under 10 years old, repairs usually pay off.
• If the repair cost is under about 50% of a comparable new dishwasher, repair is usually the better value.
• If you have repeated leaks, heavy rust, or multiple symptoms at once, replacement is usually smarter.
• If the issue is a wear item (seal, latch, hose), repair is typically straightforward.
• Confirm the symptom and any diagnostic steps in the 66514862N120 owner's manual.

These fixes commonly restore normal operation:

• Won’t fill or fills slowly: fill valve assembly W11434044
• Won’t drain or drains poorly: hose-drain,e W11414944
• Won’t start or stops when the door moves: latch assembly (includes switch) W11412299
• Leaks at the bottom of the door: dishwasher door seal, lower W11664713

A dishwasher is most cost-effective to repair when you fix one root cause. For example, a no-fill complaint can be a clogged inlet screen or a failed valve; a no-start complaint is often the door latch switch.
