What are the dimensions of a Kenmore dishwasher 66513873K600?
For the Kenmore Pro dishwasher model 66513873K600, the installation guide lists a 23-7/8 in. minimum opening width, 24 in. cabinet cutout depth, and 34 in. minimum opening height (measured from the lowest point under the countertop). See the installation guide for the exact diagram and notes.
These are the key measurements shown in the installation documentation for 66513873K600:
- Cutout (opening) width: 23-7/8 in. minimum (measured at the narrowest point)
- Cutout (opening) height: 34 in. minimum (measured from the lowest point on the underside of the countertop)
- Cutout (opening) depth: 24 in.
- Dishwasher depth (side view): about 24-1/2 in. (insulation may compress; not used on all models)
- Dishwasher body width (rear view): 23-7/8 in.
| Measurement type | What it means | Spec for 66513873K600 |
|---|---|---|
| Opening width | Minimum cabinet opening | 23-7/8 in. min. |
| Opening height | Countertop underside to floor | 34 in. min. |
| Opening depth | Front-to-back cabinet space | 24 in. |
| Unit depth | Approx. dishwasher depth | ~24-1/2 in. |
These checks prevent most “won’t slide in” and “door won’t close right” problems:
- Measure the opening in multiple spots; the guide calls out the narrowest point for width.
- Confirm the underside of the countertop is clear of screws, brackets, or trim intrusions.
- Make sure the dishwasher motor and legs have clearance; the unit should not sit on carpet.
- If your opening height is tight, the guide notes height can be reduced to 33-7/8 in. by removing wheels.
- Route the drain hose, water line, and wiring so they do not rub the motor or leveling legs.
Dishwasher “dimensions” can mean either the appliance body size or the cabinet cutout requirements. Using the cutout specs from the installation guide helps you avoid binding, vibration, and alignment issues that can lead to leaks or poor door sealing.

What are the common problems with Kenmore dishwashers?
Common problems we see on Kenmore dishwashers like model 66513873K600 include not starting or stopping mid-cycle (door not fully latched or a tripped breaker), draining problems, poor drying, leaks, and poor cleaning. The troubleshooting section in the 66513873K600 owner's manual covers many of these symptoms.
- Dishwasher will not run or stops: door not closed and latched, wrong cycle selection, power interruption, tripped breaker or blown house fuse (the manual notes the motor can also reset after an overload).
- START/RESUME light flashing: door opened during the cycle or power was interrupted.
- Won’t drain or drains slowly: clogged drain path, kinked drain hose, blocked air gap, or a failing drain pump.
- Dishes not dry: no rinse aid, overloaded racks that trap water, plastics holding water (often need towel drying).
- Leaks: door seal not sealing, loose hose connections, or a worn gasket.
- Confirm the door closes tightly and latches.
- Check the home breaker or fuse; reset/replace if needed.
- Verify the water shutoff valve is on.
- Clean the filter area and check the drain air gap (if your setup uses one).
- Use rinse aid and avoid overloading so water can drain off dishes.
If the basic checks do not solve it, these model-matched parts are common fixes:
| Symptom | Common part to check | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Not draining | Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 | Pumps water out to the drain line |
| No heat, poor drying | Heater element WPW10082892 | Heats water and supports drying |
| Dead or intermittent power | Fuse W10258275 | Protects the dishwasher from electrical overload |
| Not filling or fills slowly | Dishwasher water inlet valve WPW10158389 | Opens to let water into the tub |
| Leaking at the door | Gasket W11196317 | Seals the door to prevent water from escaping |
Catching the root cause early prevents repeat failures. For example, a clogged drain path can overwork the drain pump, and skipping rinse aid can make “no dry” look like a heater problem when it is really a loading or rinse-aid issue.
You can order replacement parts for your Kenmore 66513873K600 from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. You can still get replacement parts for Kenmore dishwashers, including the Kenmore Pro 66513873K600, by matching your model number to the correct OEM components (for example pumps, valves, seals, and racks). Use the parts list for your model first, then expand your search on Sears PartsDirect.
The most important step is confirming the full model number from the dishwasher’s rating label, then using that exact model number (66513873K600) when selecting parts.
- Match the model number exactly (all characters matter).
- Compare the part name and part ID, not just a description.
- If multiple versions exist, verify fit by model-based lookup.
- For electrical parts, cut power at the breaker before inspecting.
- For leak or drain issues, check hoses and clamps for kinks or loose connections.
For the Kenmore Pro 66513873K600, these are examples of commonly replaced parts that are available for this model:
| Symptom | Likely part area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Won’t drain or drains slowly | Drain system | Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 or dishwasher drain hose 8269144A |
| Won’t fill or fills slowly | Water inlet | Dishwasher water inlet valve WPW10158389 |
| No heat or poor drying | Heating circuit | Heater element WPW10082892 |
| Dead or intermittent power | Electrical protection | Fuse W10258275 |
Dishwasher parts are highly model-specific. Using the correct Kenmore Pro 66513873K600 part ID helps prevent leaks, poor cleaning, and repeat repairs caused by mismatched components.
Your owner's manual is the best place to confirm operating features and maintenance steps that affect parts selection (like cleaning routines and normal cycle behavior).

Can you get replacement dishwasher racks?
Yes. You can get replacement upper and lower dishracks for your Kenmore 66513873K600 dishwasher, but you must match the rack to the exact model so the wheels, track stops, and rack height adjusters fit and slide correctly. Use the parts list for this model first, then search by model on Sears PartsDirect.
- Confirm the full model number on the rating label: 66513873K600.
- Identify which rack you need: upper vs lower (they are not interchangeable).
- Check for related hardware issues (wheels, track stops, adjusters) that can make a new rack feel “wrong.”
- If the rack is rusting, inspect the coating and any broken tine tips.
- Compare your current rack layout (tine rows and inserts) to what you want to replace.
The 66513873K600 has an adjustable and removable top rack. The manual describes raising or lowering the top rack to fit taller items, and it also outlines how the rack comes out by opening the track stops and removing the rack wheels/rollers. Use the steps and diagrams in the 66513873K600 owner's manual so you order the correct rack style and reinstall it properly.
| Item | Upper rack | Lower rack |
|---|---|---|
| Uses track stops/rollers | Yes | Typically no (varies by design) |
| Height adjustment | Yes (on this model) | No |
| Common symptom when wrong part is used | Won’t seat in tracks, binds, falls off | Poor loading fit, spray arm interference |
Dishwasher racks are large, model-specific assemblies. Price is driven by the rack frame, coating, welded tines, and any included hardware. If your rack still rolls and the structure is solid, replacing only damaged components (like a tine row) can be a cost-effective alternative.
A correctly matched rack keeps dishes stable, prevents spray arm contact, and ensures proper water coverage and drying performance. A mismatched rack can cause poor cleaning, noise, or track damage.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes; repairing a Kenmore Pro dishwasher like model 66513873K600 is worth it when the failure is limited to one common part (drain, fill, heat, or power) and the tub, door seal, and racks are still in good condition. It is less worthwhile when multiple major systems fail together.
- Repair when there is one clear symptom (won’t drain, won’t fill, no heat, dead unit).
- Repair when leaks are minor and localized (door seal area, hose connection).
- Repair when the dishwasher otherwise cleans well and runs quietly.
- Consider replacement when you have repeated leaks plus electrical issues.
- Consider replacement when cleaning is poor and the unit is also loud or not draining.
| Symptom | Likely system | Example part for 66513873K600 |
|---|---|---|
| Standing water | Drain | Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 |
| Dead, no lights | Power | Fuse W10258275 |
| Won’t start or acts erratic | Control | Electronic control WPW10084141 |
| Loud grinding, poor wash | Wash motor/sump | Pump motor WPW10780877 |
A single-part repair restores core performance for far less than replacing the dishwasher; multi-system failures usually mean higher cost and more downtime.
- Confirm the symptom and any indicator lights using the 66513873K600 owner's manual.
- Check simple causes first: tripped breaker, clogged filter area, kinked drain hose, blocked air gap (if used).
- If you’re ordering parts, start with the parts list for model 66513873K600; for broader model searches, use Sears PartsDirect.
