Kenmore 66513293K110 undercounter dishwasher Parts

To hard reset your Kenmore dishwasher model 66513293K110, we recommend canceling the current cycle and power-cycling the unit: turn the dishwasher off, cut power at the breaker for about 1 minute, then restore power and start a new cycle. For model-specific button sequences, use the 66513293K110 owner's manual.

Quick reset options (try in this order)

• Press Cancel/Drain (or Cancel) to stop the cycle and force a drain.
• Wait about 1 minute, then select a new cycle and press Start/Resume.
• If the controls are unresponsive, turn OFF the dishwasher circuit breaker for 1 minute, then turn it back ON.
• If the dishwasher is hardwired, switch the breaker (not just the door switch).

What a “hard reset” actually does

A hard reset clears a stuck cycle and reboots the control. It does not fix underlying issues like a drain restriction, a failed pump, or a door that is not latching.

Common symptoms and what to check

• Won’t drain: check the sink/disposer connection, drain loop/air gap, and hose routing.
• No fill or weak fill: confirm the shutoff valve is open and the supply line is not kinked.
• Stops mid-cycle: check door closure and power supply stability.

Parts that often relate to “won’t drain” or “won’t fill” problems

If the reset works briefly but the problem returns, these model-compatible parts are common suspects:

• Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 (draining issues)
• Dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771 (filling issues)
• Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A (clogs, kinks, leaks)

Quick troubleshooting table

Symptom after reset	Most likely area	Typical next step
Hums but won’t drain	Drain path or pump	Inspect hose/air gap; consider drain pump
No water enters	Water supply or inlet valve	Verify shutoff valve; check inlet valve
Door drops or won’t stay balanced	Door spring/tension	Adjust door tension per install instructions

Why it matters

Resetting is a safe first step because it clears a stalled control state. If the dishwasher repeatedly needs resets, it usually points to a drain, fill, or door-tension condition that should be corrected to prevent repeat cycle failures.

Common problems on the Kenmore 66513293K110 dishwasher include poor draining, the door not latching or dropping open, weak cleaning from clogged spray paths, and drying issues (often improved by using rinse aid). Many symptoms trace back to a few serviceable parts and setup checks in the 66513293K110 installation guide.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Won’t drain or drains slowly: kinked/clogged drain hose, blocked filter area, failing drain pump
• Door falls open or slams shut: door spring tension needs adjustment, worn hinge/link hardware
• Dishes still dirty: clogged spray arm holes, filter/sump buildup, loading issues
• Not filling with water: water supply off, inlet valve issue, door not latched
• Poor drying or spots: rinse aid empty, hard water deposits, heater performance issues

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

1. Confirm the door is fully closed and latched; Start/Resume typically requires closing the door promptly after pressing it.
2. Verify the water supply valve is turned on.
3. Run a short cycle and check for water in the bottom of the tub after the first couple of minutes.
4. Inspect the drain hose routing for kinks and make sure it is positioned correctly.
5. Use rinse aid for better drying and to reduce hard water deposits.

Parts that commonly fix these problems on model 66513293K110

Symptom	Likely part to inspect	Example part for this model
Not draining	Drain pump, drain hose	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269
Weak wash or poor coverage	Spray arm, filter	Dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331
Spots and poor drying	Heater, rinse aid use	Dishwasher heater W10703867

Why it matters

Catching a drain, fill, or door-tension problem early helps prevent repeat cycle failures, standing water odors, and leaks. Good rinse aid use also improves drying on energy-efficient dishwashers that use less water.

On the Kenmore 66513293K110 Quiet Guard undercounter dishwasher, the filter is in the bottom of the tub, under the lower dishrack, around the pump and lower spray arm area. You access it by pulling out the lower rack and lifting the filter assembly out for cleaning; then set it back in place.

How to find and remove the filter

1. Turn the dishwasher off; let the heater cool.
2. Pull out the lower rack.
3. Look at the bottom center of the tub near the lower spray arm and pump area.
4. Remove the filter assembly (most styles twist to unlock or lift straight up depending on the filter cup design).
5. Rinse the filter under warm water; use a soft brush to remove grease and debris.
6. Reinstall the filter so it sits flat and secure.

For diagrams and the exact filter style used on this model, use the 66513293K110 owner’s manual.

What you should check while you are there

• Food debris or labels blocking the filter screen
• Broken filter cup tabs or a filter that will not sit flat
• Standing water in the sump area (can point to a drain issue)
• Spray arm holes clogged with mineral buildup
• A loose lower spray arm that wobbles or rubs

Common symptoms and what they usually mean

Symptom	Most common cause	What to do first
Grit on dishes	Filter clogged	Clean filter and run a hot cycle
Bad odor	Debris trapped in filter/sump	Clean filter, wipe sump area
Water left in bottom	Drain restriction or weak drain pump	Check drain path and filter area
Poor wash	Clogged filter or spray arm	Clean filter and spray arm holes

Why it matters

A clean filter keeps wash water moving correctly through the pump and spray arms. When the filter is clogged, cleaning performance drops and debris can recirculate onto dishes.

Parts that are commonly involved

If the filter is damaged or will not lock back in, the filter assembly may need replacement. For this model, the filter component is listed as dishwasher filter W10872845.
