Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is printed on the appliance’s model and serial tag; on Kenmore model 66213049K112, you’ll typically find that tag when you open the door and look along the inner door frame, the top edge of the door, or the tub opening. Write the full model number exactly as shown so we can match the correct parts and troubleshooting info.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the door and inspect the left and right inner door frame.
• Check the top edge of the door (near the latch area).
• Look around the tub opening (front rim of the tub).
• If the tag is dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth and re-check under bright light.
• If the tag is scratched, take a photo and zoom in to read the characters.

If you still can’t find the tag

These spots are less common, but worth checking:

• Along the side of the tub wall near the front
• On the lower edge of the door
• Behind the toe-kick/access panel area (you may need to remove the lower access panel)

For diagrams and model-specific identification notes, use the 66213049K112 owner’s manual.

What the model number looks like (and why it matters)

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66213049K112 is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear item (drain hose, door seal, spray arm, heating element) and the repair cost is well below the price of a replacement dishwasher.

Quick way to decide (cost vs. age)

Use this simple rule of thumb for dishwashers:

• Under 8 years old: repairs are typically a good value, especially for leaks, draining issues, or poor cleaning.
• 8 to 12 years old: repair is worth it when the fix is straightforward and parts cost is moderate.
• Over 12 years old: repair is worth it only for low-cost fixes; major electrical or motor repairs usually point to replacement.

Common repairs that are usually worth it

These are frequent, fixable issues on Kenmore dishwashers, and they often restore performance quickly:

• Not drying well: check the heater circuit; a failed dishwasher heating element W10518394 is a common cause.
• Not draining: inspect the drain path and hose routing; a damaged dishwasher drain hose 8269144A can cause slow or no drain.
• Leaking at the door: worn seals or strike alignment issues often point to the dishwasher door seal and strike kit W10542314.
• Poor wash coverage: clogged or cracked spray arm can reduce pressure; consider the dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331.
• Cloudy results or long cycles: cleaning and filter maintenance helps; the dishwasher filter W10872845 is a common service part.

Repairs that can tip the scale toward replacement

These repairs can be higher cost or more labor-intensive, especially on older units:

Repair area	Typical impact	Why it matters
Electronic control	Higher parts cost	Can cause no-start, mid-cycle stops, or odd behavior
Motor/pump system	Higher labor + parts	Affects washing, circulation, and noise
Tub damage	Major repair	Often not cost-effective compared to replacement

Why it matters

A dishwasher is designed to run longer, water-saving cycles; the installation guide notes that cycles can be longer due to soak and pauses for cleaning performance. Keeping key wash and drain parts in good shape helps you avoid repeat problems and keeps cleaning consistent.

Before you spend money on parts

We recommend checking the basics first (these can prevent an unnecessary repair):

• Confirm the door closes tightly and latches
• Check the breaker or fuse
• Verify the water supply is turned on
• Run the shortest cycle and confirm water enters the tub
• Review model-specific operating and cycle guidance in the 66213049K112 owner's manual
