Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is usually printed on a label around the door opening. On Kenmore units like model 66515739000, we most often find it on the inner door frame, the tub rim, or the tub wall near the door latch area.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the dishwasher door and inspect the left and right inner door frame.
• Check the top edge of the door opening (tub rim).
• Look on the tub wall just inside the door, near the front corners.
• If the label is worn, use a flashlight and view from an angle to catch faint printing.

If you still cannot find it

• Check the side of the door (visible only when the door is open).
• Look behind the toe-kick panel area for a tech sheet pouch (varies by build).
• Review the model list and label location guidance in the 66515739000 owner's manual.

What the model number looks like (Kenmore 665 prefix)

Many Kenmore dishwashers use a 665. prefix family. Your full model is typically a continuous number on the label (example: 66515739000) even if the manual lists a dotted family format (example: 665.15739).

You might see	What it means	Use for parts lookup
665.15739	Model family used in manuals	No
66515739000	Full model number on the rating label	Yes
Serial number	Production identifier	No (unless checking age)

Why it matters

We use the exact model number to match the correct Kenmore dishwasher parts and diagrams. Small differences in a 665-series dishwasher can change the door seal, spray arm, or water inlet valve that fits.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66515739000 is usually worth it when the problem is a wear item (seal, latch, hose, spray arm) or a simple water-fill/drain issue; those repairs are typically far cheaper than replacement and can restore reliable cleaning.

Quick decision checklist

• Repair it if it’s leaking at the door, not filling, not draining, or the racks/rollers are worn.
• Repair it if the unit is otherwise cleaning well and the tub is in good shape.
• Consider replacement if you’re facing repeated major failures (motor, electronic control) plus other wear.
• Consider replacement if repair cost approaches 50% or more of a comparable new dishwasher.
• Check coverage; some components may have longer warranty terms depending on purchase date and what failed.
