To get rid of standing water in your Kenmore dishwasher model 66513009N511, first shut off power, protect the floor with towels, then bail out and soak up the water. After it’s empty, focus on the drain path (filter, drain hose, drain pump) so it does not return.

Safe, quick way to remove the water

• Turn off power at the breaker (or unplug the dishwasher).
• Place towels under the door and along the toe-kick area.
• Remove the lower rack for access.
• Use a cup or small container to scoop water into a bucket.
• Use a sponge or turkey baster to pull the last bit from the sump area.
• Dry the bottom with towels so you can spot new water quickly.

Fix the cause so it drains normally

Standing water usually means a restriction or a drain component problem.

• Clean the filter area; a clogged filter can slow or stop draining. If the filter is damaged or won’t clean up, replace the dishwasher filter WPW10463906.
• Check the drain hose routing; it should not be kinked, crushed, or sagging. If it’s split, soft, or blocked, replace the dishwasher drain hose 8269144A (or the alternate dishwasher drain hose WPW10545278 if that matches your setup).
• Listen for the drain pump during the drain portion of the cycle; a loud hum with no draining often points to a jammed or failed pump. Replace the dishwasher drain pump W10876537 if it is not pumping.
• Clear the sink/disposer inlet where the dishwasher drain connects; a blocked inlet will back up water.
• If the dishwasher fills but drains poorly, the issue is usually not the water inlet valve.

What to check first (fast triage)

What you notice	Most likely cause	Best next step
Water drains slowly	Dirty filter or partial hose clog	Clean filter, inspect hose loop
Hums but no draining	Pump jam or failed pump	Check for debris, replace pump
Drains into sink then returns	No high loop/air gap issue	Correct hose routing
Water never leaves at all	Blocked hose or pump not running	Inspect hose, test pump

Why it matters

Standing water can cause odors, redeposit food soil on dishes, and strain the drain pump. Getting the tub dry first helps you confirm whether your fix actually restored proper draining.

Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is usually printed on a label inside the door opening. For the unit shown on this page, the model number format looks like 66513009N511; matching that exact number ensures you get the right parts, diagrams, and troubleshooting steps.

Where to find the model number label

Check these common locations in this order:

• Along the inner door frame (left or right side)
• On the top edge of the door (visible when the door is open)
• On the tub wall just inside the door opening
• Behind the toe-kick/lower access panel area (label may face downward)
• On the side of the cabinet (visible if the dishwasher is pulled out)

For location diagrams and model-specific details, use the 66513009N511 owner’s manual.

What the model number looks like (and what to write down)

Kenmore dishwashers commonly use a 3-digit prefix (often 665) followed by more numbers and letters.

Write down:

• Model number (example: 66513009N511)
• Serial number (helps identify production run and correct revisions)
• Any suffix letters/numbers (do not drop these)

Quick do and don’t table

Do	Don’t
Copy the model number exactly as printed	Guess based on “665 series” alone
Include all digits and letters	Omit the last 2 to 4 characters
Use the serial number when ordering certain parts	Use a similar-looking model from a different Kenmore unit

Why it matters

Kenmore dishwashers can look identical across multiple model numbers, but internal parts like the heating element, drain pump, and control panel can differ. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong replacement part and avoids fit or wiring mismatches.

If you’re troubleshooting and see a code

Once you confirm your model, match any flashing lights or error codes using Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66513009N511 is usually worth it when the repair is a common wear item (drain, fill, heating, rack hardware) and the total cost stays well below the price of a comparable replacement. Use the 66513009N511 owner's manual to match symptoms to the right checks and cycles.

Quick rule of thumb (repair vs. replace)

We use these practical thresholds for most dishwashers:

• Repair when the estimate is under 50% of replacement cost.
• Repair when the issue is isolated (one part, no repeated leaks).
• Replace when multiple major systems are failing (leaks plus poor washing plus electrical issues).
• Replace when the tub is damaged or the unit has chronic corrosion.

Typical “worth it” repairs on this model

These are common, targeted fixes that often restore performance:

• No heat or poor drying: check the element assembly W10518394
• Won’t drain or leaves water: check the dishwasher drain pump W10876537 and drain path
• Not filling or fills slowly: check the dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771
• Poor cleaning: inspect the dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331 and filters
• Odor or debris buildup: clean/replace the dishwasher filter WPW10463906

Cost and effort comparison

Repair type	What you usually notice	DIY difficulty	Often worth it?
Filter/spray arm cleaning or replacement	Grit, odor, cloudy glasses	Easy	Yes
Drain/fill component replacement	Standing water or no water	Medium	Yes
Heating circuit repair	Wet dishes, cool wash	Medium	Often
Control or motor/sump assembly	Random behavior, no wash action	Hard	Depends on total cost

Why it matters

A focused repair can extend the life of your 66513009N511 and restore cleaning and drying without the cost and hassle of replacing the dishwasher. It also helps you avoid repeat problems caused by clogged filters, restricted drain hoses, or low fill.

What we recommend before deciding

• Run a cycle and note symptoms (no fill, no drain, no heat, loud grinding).
• Clean the filter area and check the spray arm holes for blockage.
• Confirm the drain hose routing and that the sink/disposer connection is clear.
• If you see an error, use Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes to narrow the failure.
