Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is printed on the appliance’s ID label, which is usually visible when you open the door. For your unit, the model number format matches 66515693K212; use that exact number when ordering parts or using the 66515693K212 owner’s manual.

Where to look for the model number label

We typically find the model and serial tag in one of these spots:

• Along the inner door frame (left or right side)
• On the top edge of the door (visible with the door open)
• On the tub wall just inside the door opening
• On the side of the door itself (near the hinge area)
• Less common: on the lower frame behind the toe-kick panel

What the label looks like (and what to write down)

The tag is usually a sticker or metal plate with multiple fields. Record the model number exactly as shown.

Field on label	What it’s used for	Example you might see
Model	Correct part fit and diagrams	66515693K212
Serial	Production run details	Letters and numbers
Type/Code	Internal manufacturing info	Varies

Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting

Kenmore dishwashers often share similar styling across different model numbers, but internal components can differ (control board, water inlet valve, drain pump, racks). Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong part and helps match the right procedures in the manual.

Quick tip if the label is hard to read

• Wipe the area with a damp cloth and mild soap; dry it
• Use your phone camera and zoom in (flash helps)
• Copy the number exactly, including all digits and letters

Yes, repairing a Kenmore undercounter dishwasher like model 66515693K212 is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear part (drain pump, inlet valve, latch, rack hardware) and the tub is in good shape. If the repair involves major electronics or multiple leaks, replacement often makes more sense.

Quick way we decide: repair vs. replace

• Repair when the dishwasher still cleans well, the tub is solid, and the issue is isolated (drain, fill, door, rack).
• Replace when you have repeated breakdowns, heavy corrosion/leaks, or a major control problem plus other symptoms.
• Prioritize safety: shut off power at the breaker before any inspection or part replacement.

Typical repairs that are usually worth it

These are common, targeted fixes on 66515693K212 that can restore normal operation without replacing the whole unit:

• Not draining: check hose routing and clogs; consider a new dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269
• Not filling or weak fill: consider a new dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771
• Door won’t latch or cycle won’t start: consider a new dishwasher door latch WPW10653840
• Poor wash coverage: inspect for cracks or blockage; consider a new dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331
• Upper rack problems: consider a new dishrack adjuster kit W10712394

Cost-to-value checklist (simple rule)

Use this as a practical guideline for a Kenmore dishwasher repair decision.

What you’re fixing	Usual value of repair	Why
Drain, fill, latch, spray arm, rack hardware	High	Single-part repairs often restore full function
Heater or diverter issues	Medium	Can be worth it if the rest of the unit is strong
Electronic control problems	Lower	Higher part cost; failures can be harder to isolate

Why it matters

A dishwasher that won’t drain, won’t fill, or won’t latch often fails for a single reason (clog, kinked drain hose, worn pump, or a bad latch). The troubleshooting steps and operating checks in the 66515693K212 owner’s manual help you confirm the symptom before you spend money on parts.
