Kenmore Elite 66513419K701 dishwasher Parts

For a Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66513419K701, the most reliable “hard reset” is a control reset: press CANCEL/DRAIN twice to reset the control, then choose a new cycle and press START/RESUME. This clears the current cycle and restarts the control logic.

Quick reset steps (recommended)

• Open the door slightly to stop the cycle; wait for spraying to stop.
• Close the door.
• Press CANCEL/DRAIN and let it drain (about 2 minutes if needed).
• Press CANCEL/DRAIN a second time to reset the control.
• Select your new cycle and options.
• Close the door firmly and press START/RESUME.

For the exact button names and sequence for your console, follow the owner's manual.

If the controls seem “frozen”, check Control Lock first

This model uses a Control Lock feature that disables all buttons when enabled.

• Press and hold HEATED DRY for 3 seconds to toggle Control Lock.
• If LOCK ON is lit, the dishwasher will not run until you turn the lock off.

Control Lock at a glance

What you see	What it means	What to do
LOCK ON light is lit	Controls are locked	Hold HEATED DRY 3 seconds
Buttons flash when pressed	Lock is still on	Hold HEATED DRY 3 seconds
Unit drains but won’t start	Often lock or door not latched	Unlock, then press START/RESUME

Why it matters

A control reset (CANCEL/DRAIN twice) stops a stuck cycle, clears many temporary control glitches, and forces the dishwasher to start fresh. Checking Control Lock prevents unnecessary part replacement when the dishwasher is simply locked out.

Yes. The Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66513419K701 uses a filter system in the bottom of the tub to help trap food soil and protect the wash pump. Routine cleaning of the sump area and checking for debris helps prevent poor cleaning and drain problems; see the owner's manual for the exact filter access and care steps.

Where the filter is and what to expect

On 665-series Kenmore Elite dishwashers, the filter area is typically centered at the bottom of the tub around the sump (under the lower rack). Depending on the configuration, you may see a mesh screen and a filter cup or cover.

Common signs the filter area needs attention:

• Dishes come out gritty or with food particles
• Standing water remains after the cycle
• Grinding or crunching noises during wash (debris in the wash module area)
• Odors that return quickly after a cycle

How we recommend checking and cleaning it

Always shut off power at the breaker before reaching into the sump area.

• Remove the lower rack
• Look for a screen or cover at the center-bottom of the tub
• Rinse away loose debris with warm water
• Wipe the sump area with a soft cloth (avoid forcing debris into openings)
• Run a rinse cycle after cleaning to flush remaining particles

Parts that are commonly involved when “filter” issues are really drainage or wash problems

If cleaning the filter area does not help, the issue is often in the drain path or wash system.

Symptom	Most common area to check	Example part for this model
Water not draining	Kinked/clogged drain line	Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A
Poor wash pressure	Circulation pump or motor	Dishwasher wash pump motor assembly WPW10757217
Intermittent power/no start	Control protection circuit	Fuse W10258275

Why it matters

A restricted filter or sump area reduces water flow through the pump, which hurts cleaning performance and can lead to drain problems. Keeping the filter area clear also helps protect components like the circulation pump motor and turbidity sensor.

Yes. The Kenmore Elite 66513419K701 is part of Kenmore’s premium dishwasher line, and it is positioned above standard Kenmore models with higher-end build and feature expectations. For this model, the warranty coverage also reflects a more premium tier (including longer coverage on racks and stainless steel tub leak-through). See the owner's manual for the exact warranty terms and care guidance.

What “high end” means for this model

Kenmore Elite models are typically considered high end because they focus on quieter operation, stronger wash performance, and upgraded components and finishes compared with entry-level dishwashers.

Common “premium” indicators you’ll see with Elite dishwashers include:

• Stainless steel tub designs (better drying and durability than plastic tubs)
• More advanced wash systems (soil sensing, targeted spray patterns)
• Quieter insulation packages
• More robust rack systems and adjustability
• More electronic controls and cycle options

Warranty details that support the “premium” positioning

The Kenmore Elite warranty language for this dishwasher includes longer coverage on key areas, which is a typical high-end signal.

Coverage area	What it covers	Time period (from purchase date)
Full appliance	Defects in materials/workmanship	1 year
Electronic control and power supply board	Parts coverage (labor after year 1)	2 years
Upper and lower racks	Rust-through due to defects (labor after year 1)	5 years
Stainless steel tub and inner door panel (on stainless tub models)	Leak from rust-through	Life of dishwasher

Why it matters when you’re buying parts or planning repairs

“High end” usually means more electronic components and more specialized assemblies. When troubleshooting, we recommend starting with the diagnostic and care steps in the owner's manual so you don’t replace parts unnecessarily.

If you’re repairing common wear or performance issues, these model-matched parts are often involved:

• Dishwasher electronic control board WPW10084141 (control and cycle logic)
• Dishwasher wash pump motor assembly WPW10757217 (circulation and wash pressure)
• Dishwasher water inlet valve W10648041 (filling problems)
• Fuse W10258275 (no power symptoms)

Yes, repairing a Kenmore Elite dishwasher like model 66513419K701 is worth it when the problem is a common wear item (drain hose, fuse, door balance parts) and the tub is in good shape; repairs typically cost less than replacement and avoid a full reinstall. Use the owner's manual to match symptoms to the right fix.

Quick way to decide

• Repair it if the dishwasher is cleaning well overall and you have a single clear failure (no drain, no fill, door won’t stay up).
• Repair it if the issue points to a serviceable part such as a hose, thermostat, sensor, or door hardware.
• Replace it if the tub or inner door panel is leaking from rust-through, or if multiple major systems are failing at once.
• Replace it if racks are severely rusted and you also have pump or control problems (stacked costs).
• Repair it if you can confirm the failure with basic checks (power, water supply, drain path) before buying parts.

Common repairs for 66513419K701 (and what they usually mean)

Symptom	Likely area	Example part on this page
Door drops open or won’t stay balanced	Door balance system	Dishwasher door balance link 8194001
Won’t drain or leaves water in bottom	Drain path, hose, air gap	Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A
Dead, no lights, won’t start	Power supply, thermal protection	Fuse W10258275
Poor wash, weak spray, noisy circulation	Wash pump or motor	Dishwasher wash pump motor assembly WPW10757217

Why it matters (cost and downtime)

A targeted repair keeps your existing cabinet fit, water line, and electrical hookup in place. That saves time and reduces the risk of installation-related leaks. For this Kenmore Elite platform, many failures are isolated to a single component (drain hose, fuse, pump motor), which makes repair a practical first step.

Before you buy parts: 5 fast checks

• Confirm the dishwasher has power at the outlet and the breaker is on.
• Make sure the door latches fully; a mis-latched door can mimic a “won’t start” failure.
• Check the drain hose routing for kinks and ensure it has a proper high loop.
• Clean the filter area and remove debris that can restrict draining and circulation.
• Run the built-in diagnostics or check displayed codes using Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes.
