Where can I find my Kenmore Elite dishwasher model number?
On Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66514752N510, we typically find the model and serial number on the rating label located on the inside edge of the door opening, most often along the left side of the tub frame. For the exact label location and what the tag looks like, check the owner's manual.
- Open the dishwasher door fully.
- Look along the left inside edge of the tub opening.
- Check the top edge of the door opening if you do not see it on the side.
- Look for a sticker or metal tag labeled Model and Serial.
- Wipe the area with a damp cloth; grease and detergent film can hide the print.
Your model number will be a long alphanumeric string. For this dishwasher, it should match the format below.
| Item | Example for this unit | Why you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 66514752N510 | Ensures parts diagrams and parts fit are correct |
| Serial number | Varies | Helps identify production details for service and compatibility |
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore dishwasher parts list and diagrams. That prevents ordering the wrong items, especially for common fit-sensitive parts like the dishwasher door latch WPW10653840 or the dishwasher rack adjuster W10712395.
- Check for a second label on the side of the door itself.
- Take a clear photo with your phone and zoom in to read faded text.
- If you are ordering parts, search the parts list for your model first; you can also search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

How many cubic feet is my Kenmore Elite washer?
Your Kenmore Elite 66514752N510 is a dishwasher, not a washer, so it is not rated in cubic feet like a laundry washer. Dishwashers are typically described by place settings, rack layout, and tub design; see the 66514752N510 owner's manual for the capacity and loading guidance specific to your model.
Dishwasher “size” is usually communicated in practical terms that affect daily use:
- Place settings (how many dishes a cycle can hold)
- Rack configuration (upper rack height, fold-down tines, third rack if equipped)
- Tub style (tall tub vs. standard tub)
- Usable rack space (how well large pots, plates, and glasses fit)
- Cycle options that affect loading and drying performance
| Appliance type | Common capacity unit | Typical range | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clothes washer | Cubic feet | 3.5 to 5.0 cu. ft. | How much laundry fits per load |
| Dishwasher | Place settings | Commonly 12 to 16 | How many dishes fit per cycle |
Using the right capacity measure helps you choose cycles, load correctly, and avoid poor cleaning from overcrowding. For your Kenmore Elite dishwasher, the most accurate “how much fits” answer comes from the model-specific loading diagrams and rack features in the manual.
If your racks do not slide smoothly or sit at the right height, you can lose usable space even if the tub is fine. These common rack parts for model 66514752N510 can help restore normal loading:
- Dishwasher rack adjuster W10712395 (upper rack height and positioning)
- Dishwasher dishrack roller assembly, lower WPW10195417 (lower rack rolling and alignment)
- Dishwasher dishrack slide rail stop, upper WP8565925 (keeps the upper rack from coming off the track)
We list replacement parts for 66514752N510 on this model page; you can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect if you are shopping for additional Kenmore dishwasher parts.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore Elite dishwasher like model 66514752N510 is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear item (rack hardware, latch, drain hose) or a single failed component; those repairs typically cost far less than replacing the dishwasher and can restore normal cleaning and draining.
We use these practical checkpoints:
- Under ~10 years old: repairs are usually the better value.
- Repair cost under ~50% of replacement cost: repair is usually the better choice.
- Failure is mechanical and isolated (latch, valve, drain pump, rack parts): repair is straightforward.
- Multiple major symptoms at once (won’t fill, won’t drain, dead controls, leaks): replacement becomes more attractive.
- Tub or inner door rust-through leaks: replacement is often the better long-term solution.
These are frequent, fixable issues on 665-series style dishwashers, and the parts are available for 66514752N510:
- Door won’t latch or starts then stops: check the dishwasher door latch WPW10653840
- Not draining or standing water: check the dishwasher drain pump WPW10531320 and drain path
- Not filling or fills slowly: check the dishwasher water inlet valve WPW10327249
- Upper rack problems (sagging, not adjusting, falling off track): check the dishwasher rack adjuster W10712395 and dishwasher dishrack slide rail stop, upper WP8565925
- Poor drying or water not heating: check the element assembly W10703867
| Repair type | Typical DIY difficulty | Typical value outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Rack adjusters, rollers, rail stops | Low | High (cheap fix, big usability gain) |
| Latch, inlet valve, drain hose | Low to medium | High (restores basic operation) |
| Drain pump | Medium | High (fixes standing water quickly) |
| Control panel or major electronics | Medium to high | Medium (depends on total condition) |
| Tub leak from rust-through | High | Low (replacement usually makes more sense) |
A dishwasher that won’t drain, won’t fill, or won’t latch can look “dead,” but it is often one failed part. Fixing a single component can extend the life of your Kenmore Elite dishwasher and avoid the cost and hassle of replacement.
- Confirm the symptom (won’t start, won’t drain, poor cleaning, poor drying).
- Check the troubleshooting section in the owner's manual for model-specific checks.
- If you’re installing a new dishwasher or re-mounting it, follow the installation guide to prevent leaks and vibration.
- Order the exact replacement part from the parts list for model 66514752N510, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

What are common problems with Kenmore dishwashers?
Common problems with Kenmore dishwashers (including Kenmore Elite model 66514752N510) are no-start or no-run issues, poor draining, not filling, long cycles, and poor drying. Many of these trace back to the door not latching, a tripped breaker, a kinked drain hose, or maintenance items such as dirty filters; see the owner's manual for model-specific troubleshooting steps.
- Dishwasher does not run: door not fully closed and latched, Start/Resume needs to be pressed after closing the door, or a power issue (breaker or fuse).
- Water remains in tub or won’t drain: kinked drain hose, disposer knockout plug not removed, or a clog in the drain path.
- Will not fill: water supply issue or a failed inlet valve.
- Cycle runs too long: normal pauses during the cycle, incoming water temperature too low, or heavy soil selections.
- Not drying or spotting: rinse aid needed, hard water, or incorrect detergent amount.
- Confirm the door closes firmly and the latch engages.
- If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and press START/RESUME.
- Verify power at the dishwasher (check the house breaker or fuse).
- Inspect the drain hose for kinks and confirm the disposer inlet knockout plug is removed (if connected to a disposer).
- Clean and maintain the filters regularly; hard water buildup can cause residue and odors.
| Symptom | Common suspect | Example part for 66514752N510 |
|---|---|---|
| Won’t start or stops mid-cycle | Door latch not sensing closed | Dishwasher door latch WPW10653840 |
| Won’t drain | Drain pump not pumping | Dishwasher drain pump WPW10531320 |
| Won’t fill | Inlet valve not opening | Dishwasher water inlet valve WPW10327249 |
Catching simple issues first (door latch engagement, power, drain hose routing, filter maintenance) prevents repeat failures, reduces leaks and odors, and avoids replacing good parts. When a component does fail, matching the correct Kenmore Elite 66514752N510 part helps restore normal wash performance.
You can order replacement parts for Kenmore Elite 66514752N510 from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
