Kenmore Elite 66513752K602 dishwasher Parts

For a Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66513752K602, a “hard reset” is typically done by canceling the current cycle and clearing the control indicators, then restarting a fresh cycle. The most reliable reset method on this model is using CANCEL/DRAIN and then START/RESUME per the 66513752K602 owner's manual.

Hard reset steps (control reset)

• Press CANCEL/DRAIN.
• Close the door (the dishwasher must be closed to drain).
• Wait about 2 minutes for the drain to complete.
• Select your desired cycle and options.
• Press START/RESUME to begin.

If the dishwasher is “stuck” mid-cycle

Use the timing in the manual to reset correctly:

When you change your mind	What to do	What happens
First minute of a cycle	Select a new cycle/options, then press START/RESUME	Switches without a full drain
After the first minute	Press CANCEL/DRAIN, let it drain, then pick a new cycle and press START/RESUME	Clears the cycle and drains first

If buttons don’t respond (controls locked)

This model uses a control lock feature that can look like a “frozen” panel.

• Press and hold HEATED DRY for 4 seconds to toggle Lock On off.
• If the door was opened during a locked cycle, turn Lock off and press START/RESUME to continue.

Why it matters

Canceling and draining clears the active cycle logic and helps prevent starting a new wash with leftover water in the sump. It is also the safest first step before troubleshooting parts like the drain system.

On Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66513752K602, a red lock (padlock) light means Lock On (control lock) is enabled, so the buttons are disabled and the controls will not respond until you turn the lock off. See the exact steps in the 66513752K602 owner's manual.

What the red lock does

When Lock On is lit:

• All control pads/buttons are disabled.
• The door can still be opened.
• If you press a button while locked, the lock light typically flashes.
• If you open the door mid-cycle, you must unlock and press Start/Resume to continue.

How to turn the lock off (and on)

For this model, the lock feature is controlled through the Heated Dry button:

• Turn Lock On: press and hold HEATED DRY for 4 seconds.
• Turn Lock Off: press and hold HEATED DRY for 4 seconds again.

If the lock will not clear, check these quick items:

• Close the door firmly so it latches.
• Press and hold the correct key (HEATED DRY) for the full 4 seconds.
• Restore power by turning the breaker off for 1 minute, then back on (then try the 4-second hold again).

Quick reference

What you see	What it means	What to do
Red lock/padlock light on	Control lock is active	Hold HEATED DRY 4 seconds
Buttons do nothing	Controls are disabled	Unlock, then select cycle and press Start/Resume

Why it matters

The control lock prevents unintended cycle changes (for example, from accidental button presses or kids). If you are troubleshooting a dishwasher that will not start, clearing the lock is one of the fastest first checks.

On Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66513752K602, the F4E1 service code points to a wash motor or wash pump (circulation) problem, meaning the dishwasher is not moving water through the spray arms correctly. After correcting the cause (often a motor/pump issue), clear the stored code using the reset steps in the 66513752K602 user manual.

What you’ll usually notice with F4E1

• Dishes come out dirty because spray arms are not getting strong water flow
• You may hear a hum, buzzing, or repeated start attempts during the wash
• The cycle may stop early or drain without washing well
• Water may be in the tub but not circulating

Most common causes (and what to check first)

1. Power reset: Turn off the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power and try a quick cycle.
2. Sump and filters: Check for debris that can restrict circulation (glass, labels, food).
3. Spray arms: Make sure holes are not clogged and arms spin freely.
4. Circulation motor/pump: If the unit fills but does not wash, the circulation motor assembly is a top suspect.
5. Control or wiring: Less common, but a loose connection or control issue can trigger repeated motor faults.

Clearing the code after a repair

Many Kenmore-built-on-Whirlpool platforms use a keypad sequence to clear stored faults after the underlying issue is fixed.

• Press any 3 keys in a 1-2-3 pattern
• Repeat the pattern 3 times: 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3
• Let the dishwasher run the brief diagnostic/reset routine

(Exact key names vary by console; the 66513752K602 user manual shows the correct diagnostic behavior for your control panel.)

Parts that commonly relate to wash motor/pump faults

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for this model
Fills with water but no strong spraying	Circulation motor/pump	Pump motor WPW10780877
Drains poorly or leaves water behind	Drain system	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269
Random shutoff/no power symptoms	Power protection	Fuse W10258275

Why it matters

When the wash motor cannot circulate water, detergent does not dissolve and spray pressure drops, so cleaning performance falls fast and the dishwasher may keep logging the same fault until the root cause is fixed.
