Kenmore Pro 66513173K701 dishwasher Parts

Yes. The Kenmore 66513173K701 Pro dishwasher uses an ULTRA WASH removable triple filtration system with an upper filter assembly and a lower filter that protect the pump and help keep food from being recirculated onto dishes; see the 66513173K701 owner's manual for filter location and care.

What filter system it uses (and what it does)

This model’s filtration is designed to improve cleaning while minimizing noise and optimizing water and energy use.

• Upper filter assembly: keeps oversized items, foreign objects, and very fine particles out of the pump
• Lower filter: helps keep food from being recirculated back onto dishware
• Maintenance is normal: filters need periodic cleaning to keep performance strong

When to clean the filters

Clean the filters when you notice any of the following:

• Visible debris or soils on the upper filter assembly
• Dishes still have soils after a cycle
• Dishes feel gritty to the touch
• You notice reduced wash performance over time

How to remove and rinse the filters (typical steps)

We follow the same basic process used on this Kenmore filtration design:

1. Remove the lower rack for access.
2. Turn the upper filter assembly about a quarter turn counterclockwise to unlock.
3. Lift out the upper filter assembly.
4. Lift out the lower filter.
5. Rinse both filters under running water; use a soft brush if needed.

Quick reference table

Filter part	What you’ll see	Main job
Upper filter assembly	Twist-lock assembly	Blocks oversized items and fine particles from reaching the pump
Lower filter	Flat filter below the upper assembly	Helps prevent food from being recirculated onto dishes

Why it matters

A clogged filter reduces water flow and spray action, which leads to poor cleaning, gritty residue, and longer cycle times. Keeping the filters clean is one of the fastest ways to restore normal wash performance on a Kenmore Pro dishwasher.

Common problems with Kenmore dishwashers (including Kenmore Pro model 66513173K701) are no-start or blinking lights, not draining, poor cleaning, odors, white residue from hard water, and noisy operation. Many issues trace back to power, door/controls, water fill, drainage, or filter maintenance; see the 66513173K701 owner's manual.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Won’t start or lights blink: door not closed/latched, Start/Resume timing, overfill float stuck, or a control issue.
• Not draining: kinked drain hose, disposer or drain blockage, or a failing drain pump.
• Poor cleaning or food left on dishes: clogged filters, spray arm blockage, loading issues, or low water temperature.
• Odors: food debris in filters/sump, standing water from partial drain issues.
• White residue (hard water): mineral deposits, low rinse aid use, or detergent mismatch.
• No fill or low fill: water supply valve off, inlet valve problem, or suds interfering with sensing.

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

1. Reset the start: If Start/Resume is blinking, press START/RESUME and close the door within 3 seconds.
2. Check power: verify the house breaker or fuse is not tripped.
3. Confirm water supply is on: especially after installation or plumbing work.
4. Inspect the overfill float: make sure it moves freely; press down to release.
5. Reduce suds: only use automatic dishwasher detergent; hand soap or laundry detergent can stop filling.
6. Clean filters monthly: hard water and heavy soil make this more important.

Parts that commonly fix these problems on 66513173K701

Symptom	Part to consider	What it affects
Not draining, water left in tub	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269	Pumps water out during drain
Poor cleaning, debris on dishes	Filter W10872845	Keeps soil from recirculating
No heat, poor drying, sanitizer not achieved	Heater element WPW10082892	Heats water and aids drying
No fill or slow fill	Dishwasher water inlet valve WPW10158389	Controls water entering the tub
Dead unit or intermittent power	Fuse W10258275	Protects the dishwasher from electrical overload

Why it matters

Most “dishwasher problems” are really water flow and maintenance problems. A clean filter, correct detergent, proper water temperature (typically 120°F at the heater), and an unkinked drain hose prevent repeat failures and improve wash performance.

To hard reset the controls on your Kenmore Pro dishwasher model 66513173K701, we reset the control by canceling the current cycle and clearing the control memory. On this model, press CANCEL/DRAIN twice, then close the door to let it drain and reset before starting a new cycle (see the 66513173K701 owner's manual).

Reset steps (control reset)

1. Open the door slightly to pause the cycle; wait for spraying to stop.
2. Open the door fully.
3. Press CANCEL/DRAIN twice to reset the control.
4. Close the door within 3 seconds; the dishwasher will drain if water is in the bottom.
5. Select your cycle and options.
6. Press START/RESUME and firmly close the door within 3 seconds.

If the buttons do nothing: check Control Lock

This model has a Control Lock feature that disables the keypad.

• Press and hold HEATED DRY for 4 seconds to toggle Control Lock.
• If LOCK ON is lit, the dishwasher will not run until unlocked.
• If you press a pad while locked, the light typically flashes.

What to expect after a reset

What you see	What it means	What to do
Cancel/Drain light on	Draining in progress	Let it finish (up to about 2 minutes)
Clean light blinking	A fault or incomplete cycle	Reset, then restart a normal cycle
No response to keys	Control Lock is on or no power	Unlock; then check power at breaker

Why it matters

A proper control reset clears a stuck cycle, restores normal button response, and forces a fresh start sequence. That helps prevent issues like a dishwasher that will not start, will not drain, or stops mid-cycle.

Parts that commonly relate to “won’t drain” after a reset

If the dishwasher still will not drain after the reset, these model-matched parts are common suspects:

• Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 (pump out water)
• Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A (clogs, kinks, or leaks)
• Fuse W10258275 (protects the control circuit)

If the START/RESUME button on your Kenmore 66513173K701 Pro dishwasher won’t start a cycle, the most common cause is the door not latching or not being closed quickly enough after pressing START/RESUME. This model requires you to press START/RESUME and close the door within 3 seconds for the cycle to begin.

What to check first (fast fixes)

• Close the door firmly until you hear/feel the latch engage.
• Press START/RESUME, then close the door within 3 seconds.
• If the Start/Resume light is blinking, press START/RESUME again and close the door within 3 seconds.
• Check your home breaker or fuse; a tripped breaker can make the control act “dead.”
• Confirm the cycle is actually selected (a cycle must be set before Start will run).

If it still won’t start: likely causes on this model

Door not recognized as closed

This dishwasher will not start if the control does not sense a fully closed, latched door. A slightly misaligned door, a rack pushing the door outward, or a worn latch can all prevent starting.

Power interruption or control lockup

A brief power interruption can leave the electronic control in a non-responsive state. Resetting power at the breaker for a few minutes often restores normal operation.

Blown thermal fuse

If the dishwasher appears to have power issues (no response or intermittent response), a failed fuse can stop the control from operating correctly. For this model, the fuse W10258275 is a common electrical protection part to check.

Quick symptom guide

What you see	What it usually means	What to do
Start/Resume light blinking	Door not closed in time or not latched	Press START/RESUME; close door within 3 seconds
Lights on but won’t run	Door not sensed closed, cycle not set	Reseat racks; latch door; reselect cycle
No response at all	Power issue or fuse/control problem	Check breaker; then test fuse

Why it matters

On the Kenmore 66513173K701, the control is designed to prevent operation with an unlatched door. That protects you from leaks and stops the wash motor and heater from running when the door is open.

For the exact start/resume timing and indicator-light behavior, follow the steps in the 66513173K701 owner’s manual. If you need to order replacement parts for this dishwasher, use the parts list for your model or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Yes; repairing your Kenmore Pro dishwasher model 66513173K701 is worth it when the problem is a single, common failure (drain, fill, heat, or wash coverage) and the total repair cost stays well below replacement. Use the warranty section in the 66513173K701 owner's manual to factor in any coverage.

Quick decision checklist

We use these practical checkpoints for most dishwashers:

• If it is under 10 years old, repair is usually the best value.
• If it is 10 to 12 years old, repair is worth it for one mid-cost fix, not multiple major parts.
• If it is over 12 years old, repair only for simple issues (clogs, hoses, basic electrical).
• If the dishwasher is rusted, repeatedly leaking, or needs multiple big parts, replacement is usually the better spend.
• If it won’t drain, won’t fill, or cleans poorly, those are typically targeted, repairable problems.

Repairs that are usually worth it on 66513173K701

These parts commonly solve the most frequent symptoms:

• Not draining: dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 or a restricted drain path
• Not filling or slow fill: dishwasher water inlet valve WPW10158389
• No power: fuse W10258275 (after confirming power to the unit)
• Poor cleaning: dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331 and filter cleaning
• Poor drying or no heat: heater element WPW10082892

Typical cost-to-value guide

Problem type	Typical complexity	Usually worth repairing when…
Drain or fill issue	Low to medium	Cycles run but performance is off
Cleaning issue	Low	Dishes are dirty but unit completes cycles
No power	Medium	A single failed electrical part is found
Control or motor issue	Medium to high	The dishwasher is otherwise in excellent shape

Why it matters

A targeted repair keeps a solid stainless-tub dishwasher running and avoids replacing the whole appliance for a single failed component.
