Kenmore Elite 63013003017 dishwasher Parts

Yes. We still offer replacement parts for Kenmore dishwashers, and for Kenmore Elite model 63013003017 you can match parts by model number and symptom, then replace common wear items like pumps, switches, and sensors to restore normal washing and draining.

Use your full model number (63013003017) and then confirm the part by location in the diagrams and by the failure symptom.

• Match the part to the exact model number on the rating label
• Compare the part name and ID (not just a description)
• Check whether the issue is drain, fill, door, or power related
• Replace any damaged seals or fasteners you remove during service
• Follow the wiring and mounting steps in the installation guide

These are frequently ordered parts for this model when the dishwasher will not drain, will not start, or shows inconsistent cleaning results.

Dishwashers are model-specific. Even when a part looks similar across Kenmore models, the electrical connectors, mounting points, and calibration can differ; matching by 63013003017 helps prevent returns and repeat repairs.

If you are installing or reinstalling the dishwasher, the drain hose routing matters. The install instructions for this platform specify keeping a portion of the drain hose at least 20 inches (508 mm) above the cabinet floor to help prevent poor draining.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore Elite dishwasher like model 63013003017 is usually worth it when the unit is under about 10 years old and the fix is a common wear item (switches, sensors, drain components) rather than a major rebuild. Use the installation guide to confirm safe access and correct reinstallation.

We use three practical checks that apply well to most dishwashers:

• Age: Under 10 years typically favors repair; over 10 years depends on condition and repair cost.
• Repair cost vs. replacement cost: If the repair is under about 50% of replacement cost, repair usually makes sense.
• Type of failure: Drain, fill, and door-switch problems are often cost-effective; repeated leaks or multiple major failures point toward replacement.

These are frequent, targeted fixes that can restore normal washing and draining without replacing the dishwasher:

• No-drain or slow-drain issues: check/replace the drain pump 00611332 and inspect the drain path
• Intermittent wash results: a soil/turbidity issue can involve the sensor 00611323
• Won’t start or stops when the door moves: door safety circuit can involve the sensor 00611312
• Random shutoff or no power at the control: inspect the power connection and consider the dishwasher on/off switch 00611295

A dishwasher repair is most cost-effective when it restores core functions (fill, wash, drain, heat) with one or two parts. Once you start stacking multiple high-cost repairs, you pay more and still keep an older machine with more wear.

The installation instructions for this dishwasher include key requirements that affect performance and safety:

• Do not operate the dishwasher until it is fully installed and secured
• Install the drain hose with a high loop at least 20 inches above the cabinet floor to help prevent draining problems
• Use proper electrical supply cable sizing (the guide specifies minimum #14 AWG, 2 conductor plus ground)

Common problems we see with Kenmore dishwashers (including Kenmore Elite model 63013003017) are no-start conditions, poor draining, leaks, and weak cleaning. These issues usually trace back to door safety switches, drain components, water fill parts, or installation factors like an incorrect drain-hose high loop; see the installation guide for key setup requirements.

• Dishwasher will not start: door not fully latched, a failed door switch, or a power supply issue
• Water left in the tub: drain path restriction, drain pump problem, or drain hose installed too low
• Leaking: unit not level, loose connections, or overfill protection issue
• Poor cleaning: spray obstruction, loading issues, or sensor-related wash performance problems
• Stops mid-cycle: intermittent power, door switch opening, or a safety float/overfill event

• Confirm the door closes firmly and the latch engages consistently.
• Reset power at the breaker for 1 minute, then try a normal cycle.
• Check the sink drain and disposer inlet for clogs that can block dishwasher draining.
• Verify the drain hose has a high loop at least 20 inches above the cabinet floor (a common cause of drain-back and poor draining).
• Make sure the dishwasher is level and plumb; an unlevel unit can affect operation and contribute to leaks.

If your symptom matches, these are frequently involved components for model 63013003017:

Dishwashers rely on safety interlocks (like the door switch) and correct installation (leveling and drain-hose routing) to run safely and drain correctly. Fixing the root cause prevents repeat clogs, drain-back, and nuisance leaks.
