- Match the part type (example: drain hose vs. circulation hose)

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher model 66514792N513 is usually worth it when the problem is a wear item (rack wheels, latch, drain hose) or a single failed component; it is typically not worth it when multiple major systems are failing or the repair cost approaches the price of a replacement.
Use these checkpoints to make a clear call:
- Repair when the issue is mechanical and isolated (door won’t latch, rack won’t roll, minor leak, won’t drain).
- Repair when the fix is a common service part and labor is minimal.
- Replace when you have repeated breakdowns (draining, heating, and control problems together).
- Replace when the tub is damaged or leaking from the tub itself.
- Replace when the estimate is high because it involves multiple major assemblies.
These are frequent, targeted fixes that often restore normal operation:
- Rack won’t roll smoothly: replace the dishwasher dishrack roller assembly, lower WPW10195417
- Door won’t close or starts then stops: replace the dishwasher door latch WPW10653840
- Won’t drain or leaves water: check/replace the dishwasher drain pump WPW10531320
- Slow drain or leak at the hose: inspect/replace the dishwasher drain hose 8269144A
| Problem type | Typical symptom | Usually worth repairing? |
|---|---|---|
| Rack/door hardware | Rack falls off track, door won’t latch | Yes |
| Drain system | Standing water, humming during drain | Often |
| Heating/drying | Poor drying, cool water | Depends |
| Controls/multiple failures | Dead panel, intermittent cycles plus other issues | Often no |
A dishwasher repair is most cost-effective when it restores core functions (fills, washes, drains, heats) with one clear part replacement. Once you are stacking failures (for example, draining plus heating plus control issues), downtime and labor add up fast.
- Confirm the symptom: won’t drain, won’t start, leaks, or poor cleaning/drying.
- Check for simple causes first: clogged filter area, kinked drain hose, door not fully latched.
- If you’re testing electrical parts, use a meter and follow safe practices from how to use a multimeter to test electrical parts video.

How do I find the model number on my 66514792N513?
For a Kenmore undercounter dishwasher like model 66514792N513, the model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label, most often along the inside edge of the door or on the tub frame. Match that label exactly (all digits and letters) when ordering parts.
Check these common label locations first:
- Inside the door, along the left or right inner edge
- On the tub frame opening, near the latch area
- Along the top edge of the inner door panel
- On the side of the tub just behind the door seal
- On the kickplate area (less common; may require removing the toe panel)
We recommend copying the full identification info from the label:
- Model number (example: 66514792N513)
- Serial number (helps confirm production run)
- Type or product code (if shown)
- Electrical rating (volts/amps, useful for some electrical parts)
| Item | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures diagrams and parts match your exact dishwasher |
| Serial number | Helps narrow down version changes within the same model |
| Type/product code | Confirms platform for controls, pumps, and racks |
Kenmore model numbers can look similar, but small differences can change fitment for parts like the dishwasher door latch WPW10653840, dishwasher drain pump WPW10531320, or electronic control W11173661. Using the exact label information prevents ordering the wrong door, rack, pump, or control component.
- Wipe the area with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry
- Use a flashlight and take a close-up photo to zoom in
- Look for a second label on the tub frame if the door label is worn
