Kenmore 66515822000 dishwasher Parts

Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is usually printed on a label around the door opening, most often on the inner door frame or along the tub rim. For this parts page, the model is 66515822000; matching that exact number ensures you get the right parts and troubleshooting steps.

Where to look on the dishwasher

• On the inner door frame (left or right side)
• On the tub wall just inside the door
• Behind the toe-kick/lower access panel (near the floor)
• On the side of the cabinet (visible when the unit is pulled out)

If you are installing or servicing the unit, keep the model and serial handy; they are needed when you call for service or confirm installation details in the installation guide.

What the model number looks like for this series

A bottom leak on Kenmore model 66515822000 is usually caused by water escaping past the door seal, a loose or damaged hose connection, or a leak in the wash system (spray arm seals, pump area, or inlet valve). Use the 66515822000 owner's manual to match symptoms to checks.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Stop the cycle and turn off power at the breaker; shut off the water supply.
• Look for water trails under the door; inspect the door seal for tears, flattening, or gaps.
• Check the float moves freely; a stuck float can contribute to overfilling.
• Inspect the drain hose routing and connections for drips and loose clamps.
• Confirm the dishwasher is level; a forward tilt can push water toward the door.

Most common leak points (and what to do)

Leak location	What you’ll usually see	What to inspect/try
Front/center bottom	Water at toe-kick, damp along door edge	Clean the sealing surfaces; inspect/replace the dishwasher door seal WPW10509257
Left or right bottom	Drips near supply line area	Check fittings at the dishwasher water inlet valve W10844024 and supply connection
Middle bottom (under tub)	Slow puddle that grows during wash	Check spray arm mounting and seals; inspect the dishwasher lower spray arm seal WP3376846
Rear bottom	Water near sink cabinet side	Inspect the dishwasher drain hose WP3374077 and clamp points

Why it matters

Even a small leak can damage flooring and cabinets, and it can also trigger fill and drain problems. Fixing the seal or hose connection early usually prevents bigger repairs like pump or motor replacement.

Helpful model-specific references

• Use the 66515822000 installation guide to confirm leveling, mounting, and drain hose routing.
• If you see an error code along with the leak or overfilling, check Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes to narrow the cause.
