Kenmore Elite 66514792N510 dishwasher Parts

Your Kenmore Elite 66514792N510 is a dishwasher, not a washer, so it is not rated by “cubic feet” the way laundry washers are. Dishwashers are typically described by place settings and rack layout; we list the exact features and capacities in the 66514792N510 owner's manual.

How to find the capacity spec that applies to this model

Dishwasher “capacity” is usually shown as place settings (not cubic feet). Check these spots:

• Specifications section for place settings and cycle options
• Parts and features pages for rack layout and adjustable components
• Loading guidance for how many dishes fit correctly
• Any notes about tall tub design or third rack (if equipped)

A quick way to confirm you are looking at the right document is that the manual family for this unit is listed as 665.1479*.

What “cubic feet” means vs. dishwasher capacity

Measurement	Used for	What you should look for on 66514792N510
Cubic feet	Laundry washers, refrigerators	Not a standard dishwasher spec
Place settings	Dishwashers	Place setting capacity and loading examples
Rack configuration	Dishwashers	Upper rack, lower rack, basket layout

Why it matters

Using the right capacity metric helps you compare cycles, loading, and performance correctly. If you size a dishwasher by cubic feet, it is easy to overload racks, block the spray arms, and end up with poor cleaning or drying.

Related parts that affect usable space

If your racks do not slide smoothly or sit level, you can lose usable loading space. Common rack-related parts for this model include:

• Dishwasher dishrack roller assembly, lower WPW10195417 (helps the lower rack roll straight)
• Dishwasher dishrack adjuster WPW10546503 (helps the upper rack height adjust correctly)

Yes, repairing a Kenmore Elite dishwasher like model 66514792N510 is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear item (rack rollers, latch, drain hose) and the repair cost is reasonable; it is less worth it when multiple major components (pump/motor, control) are failing at the same time.

Quick way to decide (cost, age, and what failed)

Use these checkpoints to make a clear repair vs. replace call:

• Age: Dishwashers typically last 10 years.
• Repair cost: If the repair is under about 50% of replacement cost, repair is the better value.
• Failure type: Mechanical wear parts are usually a good DIY repair; repeated electrical or leak issues point to bigger problems.
• Condition: If the tub and door are solid and racks are usable, repairs pay off longer.
• Downtime: If you need it running fast, replacing a single known part is often the quickest path.

Common repairs that are usually worth it on 66514792N510

These are frequent, targeted fixes that often restore normal operation without a major teardown:

• Rack not rolling smoothly: replace the lower dishrack roller assembly (dishwasher dishrack roller assembly, lower WPW10195417).
• Door not closing or starting issues tied to latching: replace the door latch (dishwasher door latch WPW10653840).
• Leaks at the bottom edge of the door: inspect and replace the lower door seal (dishwasher door seal, lower W10909089).
• Not draining: check the drain path and consider the drain pump (dishwasher drain pump WPW10531320) or a damaged drain hose.

Repairs that can tip the scale toward replacement

If any of these are happening together, replacement often makes more sense:

• Multiple leaks plus poor washing performance
• Repeated no-power or control issues (intermittent dead panel)
• Pump/motor problems plus diverter or heating problems in the same year

Typical “worth it” comparison

Situation	Typical recommendation	Why
One clear symptom, one part likely	Repair	Lowest cost, fastest return to service
Two unrelated major failures	Replace	Costs stack quickly
Unit near 10 years old with recurring issues	Replace	Reliability drops, more parts follow

Why it matters

A dishwasher repair is worth it when it restores reliable wash, drain, and dry performance with one focused fix. For model 66514792N510, many common problems are tied to serviceable parts, and the owner's manual troubleshooting and care sections help you confirm the failure before buying parts.

Your Kenmore Elite 66514792N510 is a dishwasher model, not a washer. To find your appliance’s model number, we look for the rating label on the tub frame or door area (most often along the inner edge of the door). For exact label locations and examples, use the owner's manual.

Where to look for the model number label

On Kenmore dishwashers like model 66514792N510, the model/serial tag is typically in one of these spots:

• Along the inner edge of the door (left or right side)
• On the tub frame just inside the door opening
• Near the top or side of the door opening where the door seals
• Occasionally on the side of the tub behind the lower rack (easier to see with a flashlight)

How to read the label correctly

Use these tips so you capture the right number for parts and troubleshooting:

• Write down the full model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers)
• Also record the serial number (helps with production variations)
• Take a clear photo before ordering parts
• Match the model number format; for this unit it looks like 665.1479* in the guide, and your full model is 66514792N510

Why it matters (parts and compatibility)

Kenmore model numbers control which parts fit your dishwasher, including common wear items like rack hardware and door components. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct part design and mounting style.

What you’re doing	What you need	Example for this model
Ordering replacement parts	Full model number	66514792N510
Fixing rack issues	Correct rack hardware	Dishwasher dishrack adjuster WPW10546503
Diagnosing a fault	Correct error-code family	Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes

Quick next steps

• Confirm the label shows 66514792N510
• If you are ordering rack parts, check whether the issue is the adjuster, roller, or track alignment
• For upper rack height problems, start with the adjuster and roller inspection

In our Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66514792N510, the ULTRACLEAN filtration system filters are located at the bottom center of the tub, underneath the lower rack and near the lower spray arm. You access them by removing the lower rack, then lifting and unlocking the filter assemblies as shown in the 66514792N510 owner's manual.

How to find and remove the filter (quick steps)

• Turn the dishwasher off and let it cool if it just ran.
• Pull out and remove the lower rack.
• Look at the bottom center of the tub; you will see the round filter area.
• Lift out the upper filter assembly (it locks in place).
• Remove the lower filter from under the locating tabs.
• Rinse both filters under running water; use a soft brush only if needed.

Filter parts and what they do

The ULTRACLEAN triple filtration system has two main pieces:

Filter piece	Location	What it does
Upper filter assembly	Locks into the circular opening	Keeps oversized items and foreign objects out of the pump
Lower filter	Sits under locating tabs at the bottom	Helps keep food from being recirculated onto dishes

Reinstalling the filters correctly

• Set the lower filter under the locating tabs so the round opening lines up.
• Insert the upper filter assembly into the lower filter opening.
• Rotate the upper filter clockwise until it drops and locks.
• Confirm the upper filter does not spin freely (free-spinning means it is not locked).

Why it matters

A properly installed, clean filter helps your 66514792N510 maintain strong wash performance and protects the pump from debris. We recommend inspecting and cleaning the filters about monthly for peak cleaning results.

If you find damage while cleaning (cracks, broken locking tabs, or a warped filter seat), we recommend using the parts list for this model or searching by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
