Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still see strong parts availability for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 66513473N413, because common wear items and core components are still sold as replacement parts. The key is matching parts by your full model number and confirming fit using the 66513473N413 owner's manual.
Use your model number first, then narrow by the symptom (no heat, not draining, leaking, poor cleaning).
- Confirm the full model number on the rating label (inside the door area on most dishwashers)
- Identify the problem symptom (heat, fill, drain, wash, rack hardware)
- Compare the part description to your symptom and the exploded-view diagram
- Check whether you need related items (hose clamp, seals, grommets)
- Follow the safety steps and access panels shown in the 66513473N413 installation guide
These are examples of parts that are commonly replaced on Kenmore dishwashers like 66513473N413.
| Symptom | Likely part category | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Dishes not drying or water not heating | Heating circuit | Element assembly W10518394 |
| Dishwasher will not fill or fills slowly | Water supply | Dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771 |
| Water left in tub | Drain system | Dishwasher drain pump W10876537 |
| Poor wash coverage | Spray system | Dishwasher spray arm, lower W10849471 |
| Door won’t latch or cycle won’t start | Door switch/latch | Dishwasher door latch WPW10653840 |
Ordering by “Kenmore dishwasher” alone often leads to the wrong fit because Kenmore models use different designs across series and years. Using 66513473N413 helps you get the correct OEM-style replacement and avoid repeat repairs.
Start with the simplest checks before buying parts.
- Clean the filter area and check for debris restrictions
- Verify the water supply valve is fully open
- Listen for drain pump operation during the drain portion of the cycle
- Check for error codes and match them to the symptom using Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher is usually worth it when the unit is under about 10 years old and the repair is a common wear item (drain pump, inlet valve, heater, latch). For Kenmore model 66513473N413, we recommend comparing the repair cost to replacement cost and the dishwasher’s overall condition using the 66513473N413 owner's manual.
- If the dishwasher is leaking from the tub or has major structural damage, replacement is often the better value.
- If it won’t drain, won’t fill, won’t heat, or won’t start, repair is typically cost-effective.
- If the problem is intermittent (random stopping, odd beeps), check for an error code first.
- If you’ve already replaced multiple major parts recently, replacement can make more sense.
- If racks are failing but the machine runs well, a rack or track repair is usually a good investment.
Many common failures on Kenmore 665-series dishwashers are straightforward part replacements.
| Symptom | Common fix | Example part for 66513473N413 |
|---|---|---|
| Not draining, standing water | Replace drain pump, clear drain path | Dishwasher drain pump W10876537 |
| Not filling or fills slowly | Replace water inlet valve, verify supply | Dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771 |
| Dishes not drying, water not heating | Replace heater circuit component | Element assembly W10518394 |
| Door won’t latch or starts then stops | Replace latch, check strike alignment | Dishwasher door latch WPW10653840 |
- Estimate total repair cost: parts plus labor (or your DIY time).
- Check age and usage: heavy daily use pushes you closer to replacement sooner.
- Confirm the failure: a clogged filter or blocked spray arm can mimic a “bad pump.”
- Look for error codes: they narrow the diagnosis fast; use Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes.
A targeted repair (like a drain pump or inlet valve) can restore full performance for far less than a new dishwasher, while avoiding the extra work of installation changes, leveling, and drain setup.

How do I find the model number on my 66513473N413?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label. On Kenmore model 66513473N413, that label is typically located on the dishwasher frame around the door opening; open the door and look along the inner edge of the tub or door frame. See the 66513473N413 owner's manual for the exact label location diagram.
Check these common label spots (in order):
- Along the left or right side of the door frame (vertical edge)
- Across the top edge of the tub opening (under the counter lip)
- On the inner door edge near the latch area
- On the side wall of the tub opening, just behind the front gasket
The label usually includes both identifiers you need for parts and service.
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts and diagrams | 66513473N413 |
| Serial number | Production details, version breaks | Letters and numbers |
- Copy the model number exactly, including all digits and letters
- Record the serial number too; it helps confirm the correct part variation
- If the label is worn, take a clear photo with the door open and good lighting
Kenmore 665-series dishwashers can look similar across multiple versions. Using the full model number (66513473N413) helps us match the correct parts list, diagrams, and items like the dishwasher water inlet valve, drain pump, or filter.
