Kenmore 66513463K902 undercounter dishwasher Parts

Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label located on the inside edge of the door. On Kenmore model 66513463K902, this label is shown in the 66513463K902 owner’s manual as part of the dishwasher’s “parts and features.”

Where to look on the dishwasher

Open the door fully and check these common label locations:

• Along the left inside door frame (most common)
• Along the right inside door frame
• On the top edge of the inner door
• On the tub opening frame near the latch area

What to write down (and why)

Record the information exactly as printed:

• Model number (example: 66513463K902)
• Serial number
• Purchase date (if available)

This helps us match the correct dishwasher parts, diagrams, and troubleshooting steps for your exact Kenmore unit.

Why it matters

Kenmore dishwashers can look similar across multiple series, but internal components like the heating circuit, drain system, and control panel can differ by model. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong items such as a dishwasher heating element W10518394 or dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66513463K902 is usually worth it when the problem is a single failed part (drain pump, heating element, door seal) and the tub and racks are still in good shape; it typically costs less than replacement and avoids a full reinstall.

Quick way we decide: repair vs. replace

We look at the failure pattern, the type of part needed, and whether the dishwasher is still operating safely (grounded, no extension cord, correct power connection per the 66513463K902 installation guide).

• Repair makes sense when:
  • It is one clear symptom (won’t drain, won’t heat, leaking at the door)
  • The unit fills and runs a cycle but performs poorly
  • The tub is intact and the door closes and latches normally
  • You can access the part without major cabinet or plumbing changes
• Replacement makes sense when:
  • Multiple major failures happen close together (pump, control, and leaks)
  • The tub is damaged or the door structure is compromised
  • You have recurring electrical issues (blown fuse, burning smell, tripping breaker)

Common repairs on this model and what they usually fix

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for 66513463K902
Water left in bottom	Drain system	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 or drain hose routing/air gap
Dishes not drying, water not hot	Heating circuit	Dishwasher heating element W10518394
Water leaking at door	Door sealing	Dishwasher door seal W10542314

Why it matters

A targeted repair can restore cleaning and drying performance while keeping your existing Kenmore installation, toe-kick, and plumbing connections. It also reduces the chance of installation-related issues that can happen when swapping to a different dishwasher.

Before you spend money on parts

• Run the shortest cycle and confirm water enters the tub within the first few minutes
• Check the sink drain/air gap for blockage (a clogged air gap can mimic a drain failure)
• Verify the dishwasher is properly grounded and never on an extension cord
• Use the troubleshooting section in the 66513463K902 owner’s manual to match symptoms to likely causes

A Kenmore undercounter dishwasher like model 66513463K902 typically lasts 10 years with normal household use and routine maintenance. Keeping filters clean, using the right detergent and rinse aid, and fixing small leaks early helps you reach that lifespan.

What affects lifespan most

• Water quality (hard water speeds up scale buildup on the heating system)
• Cleaning and maintenance (filter and sump area kept clear)
• Loading habits (overloading strains racks, spray arms, and the wash pump)
• Drying and heating performance (a weak heater can extend cycles and stress components)
• Leak prevention (door seal condition and correct installation)

Maintenance checklist we recommend

Use the care and maintenance steps in the owner's manual and follow this routine:

• Clean the filter area regularly; remove debris that can restrict wash and drain flow
• Run hot water at the sink before starting a cycle to improve wash performance
• Keep rinse aid filled for better drying and fewer spots
• Inspect the door perimeter for residue that can compromise sealing
• Address slow draining quickly (clogs and pump strain shorten service life)

Common wear items and what they do

Part area	What you may notice	Example part for this model
Heating	Poor drying, cool water, longer cycles	Dishwasher heating element W10518394
Draining	Standing water, humming, slow drain	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269
Sealing	Water at the bottom of the door	Dishwasher door seal W10542314

Why it matters

Dishwashers often fail from a few high-wear systems (heating, draining, sealing). Catching those symptoms early reduces secondary damage to the tub, wiring, and electronic control.
