Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 66513293K114, and a lot of common repairs use widely available components like drain hoses, inlet valves, spray arms, and rack hardware. Use your full model number to match the correct part.
- Match the full model number exactly: 66513293K114
- Compare the part name and part ID, not just a description
- Check whether the part is for your exact position (upper rack vs. lower rack)
- If your symptom is draining or filling, confirm whether the issue is the hose, valve, or pump
- Use the diagrams and part lists in the 66513293K114 owner's manual
Here are examples of parts we commonly see replaced on this model family:
| Symptom | Likely part category | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Not draining | Drain pump or drain hose | Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 |
| Not filling | Water inlet valve | Dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771 |
| Poor cleaning | Spray arm or filter | Dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331 |
| Rack won’t roll or adjust | Wheels/adjusters/stops | Dishrack adjuster kit W10712394 |
Kenmore dishwashers are built with serviceable components, so replacing a failed pump, valve, heater, or rack part is often the fastest way to restore normal washing and drying performance without replacing the whole dishwasher.
- Shut off power at the breaker before servicing
- Turn off the water supply under the sink
- Keep wiring, water lines, and the drain hose routed so they do not contact the motor or legs
- After reinstalling, confirm the dishwasher is level and secured in the cabinet
- Run the shortest cycle and verify water enters the tub within the first couple minutes
For installation clearances, securing methods, and final checks, follow the 66513293K114 installation guide.

What does E22 mean on a Kenmore dishwasher?
On Kenmore dishwasher model 66513293K114, an E22 code points to a drain or filter restriction; most often, food soil has clogged the filter area so water cannot move through the sump normally. Cleaning the filter and checking for a blockage usually clears the code.
- Turn off power at the breaker before reaching into the sump area.
- Remove the lower rack and inspect the bottom of the tub for debris.
- Remove and clean the filter components; rinse with hot water and scrub gently.
- Check the drain path for obstructions (glass, labels, bones) around the sump inlet.
- Restore power and run a short cycle to confirm normal draining.
If you need the exact filter removal steps and diagrams for this model, use the 66513293K114 owner's manual.
A persistent E22 usually means the dishwasher still cannot move water out fast enough. These are the most common causes:
| Symptom you notice | Most likely cause | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| Standing water in tub | Drain restriction | Kinked hose, clogged air gap/garbage disposal inlet, blocked sink drain |
| Hums but won’t drain | Drain pump issue | Listen for pump operation; inspect impeller area |
| Drains slowly | Partial blockage | Filter cup, sump passages, drain hose routing |
- Dishwasher filter W10872845 (clogged or not seated correctly)
- Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 (weak, jammed, or failed)
- Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A (kinked, clogged, or routed incorrectly)
When the filter or drain path is restricted, the wash system can recirculate dirty water, leave dishes gritty, and trigger error codes because the control does not see normal water movement. Keeping the filter clean helps prevent repeat E22 errors and improves cleaning performance.

How do I tell what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is usually printed on a label around the door opening. For model 66513293K114, you will typically find the tag on the inner door frame, along the top or side edge of the door opening, or on the tub wall just inside the door.
- Open the door and inspect the inner door frame (left and right sides)
- Check the top edge of the door opening (near the latch area)
- Look on the tub wall just inside the opening
- If the label is worn, use a flashlight and view from an angle to read faint print
If the label is missing or unreadable, we use the manual and installation guide to confirm what the model tag should look like and where the unit’s connections and mounting points are located.
- Review the 66513293K114 installation guide for installation layout and access points
- Check the 66513293K114 owner’s manual for model identification and operating information
- Look for a second tag on the side of the dishwasher frame (visible when the door is open)
- As a last resort, pull the dishwasher forward slightly (power off) and check the side panels
Kenmore dishwashers often share similar styling, but parts can vary by model revision. Using the full model number helps us match the correct rack parts, pumps, and valves.
| What you need it for | Examples on this model |
|---|---|
| Ordering replacement parts | Dishrack adjuster kit (W10712394) - dishwasher rack component by whirlpool W10712394, dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 |
| Troubleshooting symptoms | Drain issues, no-fill problems, poor cleaning |
| Correct installation fit | Cabinet opening clearance, drain hose routing |
- Write the model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers)
- Take a clear photo of the label for future parts orders
- Keep the model number with your home records for service calls

What are common problems with Kenmore dishwashers?
Common problems we see with the Kenmore 66513293K114 dishwasher include not starting, not filling, not draining, poor cleaning, and poor drying. Many issues come down to power and door-latch conditions, water supply, drainage restrictions, or a worn pump, valve, heater, or spray system. See the 66513293K114 installation guide for basic “does not operate” checks.
- Won’t start or seems dead: tripped breaker, blown fuse, door not fully latched, cycle not set correctly
- Start/Resume light flashes: door not closed within about 3 seconds after pressing Start/Resume
- No water in tub: water supply turned off, inlet restriction, failed inlet valve
- Won’t drain: kinked/clogged drain hose, blocked filter area, failed drain pump
- Dishes still dirty: clogged filter, spray arm blockage, low water fill, diverter issue
- Poor drying or spots/film: rinse aid empty, hard water deposits, heater performance issue
- Confirm the breaker is on and the dishwasher has power.
- Close the door firmly; verify it latches.
- Re-select a cycle, then press Start/Resume and close the door promptly (to prevent the flashing Start/Resume condition).
- Verify the water supply valve is fully open.
- If it drains slowly, inspect for a kinked drain hose and clean the filter area.
| Symptom | Common part to inspect/replace | Example part for 66513293K114 |
|---|---|---|
| Won’t drain / standing water | Drain pump or drain hose | Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269, dishwasher drain hose 8269144A |
| Not filling | Water inlet valve | Dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771 |
| Poor cleaning | Filter, spray arm, diverter motor | Dishwasher filter W10872845, dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331, dishwasher diverter motor W10537869 |
| Poor drying | Heater, rinse aid use | Dishwasher heater W10703867 |
A dishwasher that won’t fill or won’t drain can leave dishes dirty and can strain the pump and motor. Catching simple causes early (door latch, water supply, drain routing, filter cleaning, rinse aid) often prevents bigger repairs.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes; repairing a Kenmore undercounter dishwasher like model 66513293K114 is worth it when the problem is isolated (drain, fill, wash performance, rack hardware) and the tub is in good shape. Replacement makes sense when multiple high-cost components fail together.
- Repair when the dishwasher still powers on and the issue is one clear symptom (won’t drain, won’t fill, poor cleaning).
- Repair when the fix is one part plus reasonable labor.
- Replace when you have repeated breakdowns or visible tub rust/cracks.
- Replace when you need several major parts at once (pump and motor, control, heater).
- Repair when installation basics are correct (level and secured), because shifting and misalignment can mimic “failure”.
For model-specific setup and verification steps, use the 66513293K114 installation guide.
| Symptom | Often points to | Usually worth repairing? |
|---|---|---|
| Water left in tub | Drain restriction, drain pump | Yes |
| Slow fill or no fill | Supply valve issue, inlet valve | Yes |
| Weak wash, debris on dishes | Filter or spray arm issue | Yes |
| Dead or erratic controls | User interface or electronic control | Depends |
- Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 for draining problems
- Dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771 for fill problems
- Dishwasher filter W10872845 for poor cleaning from debris buildup
- Dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331 for weak spray or poor coverage
Many “bad dishwasher” calls come down to basics: power, water supply, or a door that is not fully latched. The install instructions also emphasize a grounded electrical supply and securing the dishwasher so it does not shift when the door opens.
- Check the breaker or house fuse.
- Confirm the door closes tightly and latches.
- Verify the water supply valve is on.
- Start a short cycle; after about 2 minutes, open the door and confirm there is water in the bottom of the tub.

How to remove lower spray arm Kenmore Elite dishwasher?
On Kenmore model 66513293K114, you remove the lower spray arm by pulling out the lower rack, then releasing the spray arm from the center hub retainer (usually a twist-off nut or locking clip). After the retainer is off, lift the spray arm straight up.
- Turn off power at the breaker before working around the sump and motor area.
- Let the heater and water cool before reaching into the tub.
- Place a towel over the sump area so small parts do not drop into the pump.
- Use gentle force; plastic retainers crack if pried hard.
- Open the door and slide the lower rack out.
- Locate the spray arm center hub (where it mounts to the pump outlet).
- Remove the center retainer:
- Twist-lock nut: turn counterclockwise by hand.
- Locking clip/retainer: press tabs and lift off.
- Lift the spray arm straight up and out.
- Wipe the hub area clean; confirm nothing fell into the sump.
- Use a rubber glove for grip and twist again.
- Soak mineral buildup with warm vinegar water for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Rock the retainer gently; do not pry against the tub.
| What you notice | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Arm will not lift | Retainer still engaged | Re-check for hidden tabs or twist-lock position |
| Poor cleaning after reinstall | Spray holes clogged | Rinse holes; clear gently with a toothpick |
| Rattling noise | Retainer not fully seated | Reinstall retainer; confirm arm spins freely |
The lower spray arm drives most wash coverage on the bottom rack. Removing it lets you clear clogs and prevent low spray pressure, residue, and noise.
For diagrams and model-specific component locations, use the 66513293K114 installation guide. If the arm is cracked or warped, replace it with the dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331.
