Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. You can still get replacement parts for Kenmore dishwashers, including the Kenmore 66517382300, as long as the specific part is still produced or has an approved substitute. The key is matching parts by your full model number so the fit and electrical ratings stay correct.
Use the model number 66517382300 and confirm the part’s location in the diagrams and lists in the 66517382300 owner's manual.
- Match by model number first, then by part name and reference number
- Compare the old part’s markings to the listing (when accessible)
- For leak or fit issues, replace related seals or clamps at the same time
- For electrical parts, shut off power at the breaker before inspecting
- Keep your serial number handy in case there are multiple revisions

How do I tell what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label, which is typically located inside the door opening on the tub wall or inner door frame. For Kenmore models like 66517382300, this label is the fastest way to match the correct parts and instructions in the 66517382300 owner’s manual.
Check these common spots in this order:
- Open the dishwasher door and look along the inner door frame (left, right, top, and bottom edges).
- Look on the tub wall just inside the door opening (many models place the label there).
- Check near the front edge of the tub where the door seals.
- If the label is worn or painted over, use a flashlight and look for stamped or faint printing.
- If the unit is pulled out, check the side of the cabinet frame near the front.
Kenmore dishwashers commonly use a 3-digit prefix and longer number string.
| What you see on the label | What it means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Model No. | Exact model used to match parts | 66517382300 |
| Serial No. | Production identifier (not used for most part lookups) | Varies |
We use the exact model number to ensure diagrams, fit, and repair steps match your dishwasher’s configuration. Even small model changes can affect items like the door seal, racks, or pump and motor assembly.
If you’re ordering parts after confirming the model, common examples for this model include the silverware basket W10807920 and the dishwasher pump and motor assembly W10782773.
- Take a close-up photo and zoom in.
- Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth (avoid harsh cleaners).
- Copy the model number exactly, including all digits.
- Use the installation paperwork for reference, such as the 66517382300 installation guide.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66517382300 is usually worth it when the problem is a wear item (seal, hose, rack parts) or a single failed component, because the repair cost is typically far less than replacement. It becomes less worthwhile when multiple major systems fail at once.
Use these checkpoints before you buy parts:
- If the dishwasher is under ~10 years old, repairs are usually the best value.
- If the repair is under ~50% of replacement cost, repair is typically the smart move.
- If it is a leak or drain issue, start with hoses, clamps, and seals first.
- If it is a no-power symptom, check the house breaker, then the internal fuse.
- If wash performance is poor, focus on the wash system (chopper, pump, spray arm seals).
For model-specific operating and care guidance (which prevents repeat failures), use the 66517382300 owner's manual.
These are frequent, targeted fixes that often restore normal operation:
| Symptom | Often-fixed-by | Example part for 66517382300 |
|---|---|---|
| Water on floor | Door seal or vent gasket | Gasket W11196317, dishwasher vent gasket WP8269259 |
| Won’t drain | Drain hose or pump issue | Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A |
| Dead/no lights | Internal fuse (after verifying power) | Fuse 8193762 |
| Loud grinding, poor cleaning | Chopper or pump/motor | Dishwasher chopper assembly W10083957V, dishwasher pump and motor assembly W10782773 |
Replacement is the better call when you see any of the following:
- Repeated leaks from multiple areas (door, vent, pump) in a short time
- Multiple major parts needed at once (pump/motor plus electronic control issues)
- Heavy rust-through or structural damage that affects sealing or rack support
- Chronic performance problems even after cleaning filters and correcting loading
A focused repair keeps a solid Kenmore dishwasher running for years, and it avoids paying for a full replacement when the issue is limited to a single part like a drain hose, door gasket, or fuse. The manual also outlines care and troubleshooting steps that reduce future breakdowns.
