Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. You can still get replacement parts for a Kenmore dishwasher, including model 66517593201, by matching the exact model number to the correct OEM parts list and then ordering common repair items like door seals, drain hoses, and pump components. Use the 66517593201 owner's manual to confirm the right part location and service steps.
Best way to make sure you order the right part
Use your full model number (66517593201) and then verify the part by name and diagram position before you buy.
- Match the model number exactly; Kenmore parts vary by series.
- Compare the part name to the symptom (leak, no drain, poor wash, door won’t latch).
- Check whether you need related hardware (clamps, gaskets, seals) at the same time.
- If the dishwasher is leaking, inspect the door seal and the drain path first.
- If the dishwasher won’t run, check the house breaker and then the dishwasher’s internal fuse.

How do I tell what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is usually printed on a rating label inside the door area. For Kenmore units like model 66517593201, we typically find it on the inner door frame or along the tub opening; match that number exactly when ordering parts or using the 66517593201 owner's manual.
Where to look for the model number label
Check these common spots in this order:
- Along the top or side edge of the door opening (inner frame)
- On the tub rim near the latch area
- On the left or right tub wall just inside the door
- On the side of the door itself (visible when the door is open)
- Behind the toe panel area (lower front), if your model uses a label there
What the model number looks like (Kenmore dishwashers)
Kenmore dishwashers commonly use a long model number that starts with 665. Use the full number, not a partial.
| What you see on the label | What it means | What to do with it |
|---|---|---|
| 66517593201 | Full model number | Use it to confirm fit for parts and diagrams |
| Serial number | Production identifier | Helpful for service history, not for part fit |
| “Type” or “Mod” codes | Internal codes | Keep for reference, but prioritize the model number |
Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting
We use the model number to match the correct Kenmore parts list and the correct Use and Care information (loading, detergent use, rinse aid, and troubleshooting). Even small model-number differences can change the rack style, door seal, or drain hose routing.
Quick example
If you are replacing a rack accessory or leak-related part, the exact model number helps confirm the right fit for items like the silverware basket W10807920 or the dishwasher drain hose 8269144A.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear item or a mid-cost repair, especially if your Kenmore 66517593201 still cleans well and the tub is in good shape. For expensive failures (motor, pump, major leaks), replacement can make more sense.
Quick decision checklist
- Repair it if the issue is draining, minor leaking, door closing, or rack problems.
- Repair it if the dishwasher is generally reliable and you want to avoid the cost of a new install.
- Replace it if you have repeated breakdowns, heavy rust damage, or multiple major parts failing.
- Replace it if the repair estimate is close to the price of a comparable new dishwasher.
- Repair it if you can DIY safely (basic tools, power off, water off).
Common repairs on model 66517593201 (and what they usually mean)
| Symptom | Likely area | Example part for this model | Typical outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Won’t drain or drains slowly | Drain path, hose routing, clogs | Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A | Often a straightforward fix |
| No power, dead control | Thermal fuse, wiring, door switch circuit | Fuse 8193762 | Can be cost-effective if isolated |
| Poor wash, loud grinding | Chopper, pump/motor, circulation | Dishwasher chopper assembly W10083957V | Ranges from moderate to major |
| Water leaking at door | Door seal, vent gasket, alignment | Gasket W11196317 | Usually worth repairing |
Why it matters (cost and lifespan)
A dishwasher is designed for years of dependable operation, but normal wear and tear happens. Putting money into the right repair can restore cleaning performance and prevent water damage, while avoiding the disruption of replacing an undercounter dishwasher.
What we recommend before you decide
- Confirm the symptom using the troubleshooting section in the 66517593201 owner's manual.
- Check for simple causes first: clogged filters, kinked drain hose, over-sudsing, or a door that is not fully latching.
- If the failure points to a major assembly (like a pump and motor), compare the part cost plus labor to replacement.
