Kenmore 66513262K114 undercounter dishwasher Parts

For the Kenmore dishwasher model 66513262K114, the most reliable “hard reset” is to reset the control by pressing CANCEL/DRAIN twice, then closing the door so it can drain and clear a stuck cycle or control glitch. Use the exact steps in the 66513262K114 owner's manual.

1. Open the door slightly to stop the cycle and wait for spraying to stop.
2. Press CANCEL/DRAIN once.
3. Press CANCEL/DRAIN a second time (this resets the control).
4. Close the door within about 3 seconds so the dishwasher can run the drain.
5. After it finishes draining, reselect your cycle and press START/RESUME.

• Make sure the door is fully closed and latched.
• If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and press START/RESUME.
• Confirm you selected a cycle before pressing Start.
• Check your home breaker or fuse if the dishwasher has no power.
• Look for loading interference that prevents the door from latching.

A power reset can clear some control issues:

• Turn the dishwasher off at the breaker (or unplug it) for about 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Press CANCEL/DRAIN twice, then start a new cycle.

Resetting the control clears a stuck cycle, forces a drain when water remains in the tub, and gets the keypad logic back to a known state. It is often the fastest first step before replacing parts like a drain pump.

To take your Kenmore dishwasher model 66513262K114 out of Lock mode, press and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds until the Lock On light turns off. The door will still open and close normally while the controls are locked; only the buttons are disabled. See the 66513262K114 owner's manual.

• Press and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds.
• Confirm the Lock On indicator light turns off.
• If you pressed a button while locked, expect the light to flash and a tone to sound.
• Close the door fully, then press START/RESUME to run a cycle.
• If you opened the door during a delay start, press START/RESUME again to continue.

If the control lock is off but the dishwasher still will not run, these are the most common next checks:

• Make sure the door is closed and latched (a blinking Start/Resume light often points to this).
• Select a wash cycle again, then press START/RESUME.
• If the unit seems “asleep,” wake it by pressing START/RESUME or CANCEL/DRAIN, or by opening the door before choosing options.
• Verify power at the breaker or fuse.

Lock mode prevents accidental button presses between cycles. Unlocking it first avoids “won’t start” symptoms that look like a latch, control, or power problem.

On Kenmore dishwasher model 66513262K114, you can force a drain by using the CANCEL/DRAIN function: pause the cycle, press CANCEL/DRAIN, then close the door so the dishwasher runs a drain sequence (about 2 minutes). See the exact button sequence in the 66513262K114 owner's manual.

• Open the door slightly to stop the cycle.
• Wait for spraying to stop, then open the door fully.
• Press CANCEL/DRAIN once (the Cancel/Drain light should come on).
• Close the door within about 3 seconds.
• Let the dishwasher drain completely; the Cancel/Drain light typically turns off after about 2 minutes.

A forced drain only works if the drain path is clear and the drain system can run. Check these common causes:

• Drain hose kinked, crushed, or routed incorrectly under the sink
• Sink drain or garbage disposer inlet clogged (especially right after a new disposer install)
• Air gap (if installed) clogged with debris
• Standing water and debris in the sump area restricting flow
• Drain pump not running or humming (possible pump issue)

If the pump is not moving water during the drain portion of the cycle, the drain pump is a common repair item for this model; see dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269.

Forcing a drain is the fastest way to clear standing water before cleaning the filter area, checking the drain hose, or restarting a cycle. It also helps confirm whether the dishwasher can energize the drain function normally.

On Kenmore dishwasher model 66513262K114, an F2 E2 code typically points to a user interface or keypad communication issue. We reset it by doing a control reset: press CANCEL/DRAIN twice to reset the control, then reselect a cycle and press START.

• Open the door slightly to pause the cycle; wait for spraying to stop.
• Press CANCEL/DRAIN twice to reset the control.
• Select your cycle and options again.
• Press START, then close the door within 3 seconds so the cycle will begin.
• If water is in the tub, pressing CANCEL/DRAIN once and closing the door starts a drain (about 2 minutes).

For the exact button names and timing on your console, follow the procedure in the 66513262K114 owner's manual.

An F2 E2 that returns quickly is often caused by a stuck key, moisture in the console, or a loose connection between the console and control.

• Power the dishwasher off at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power.
• Wipe the control panel dry and make sure no button is being held in.
• Try a different cycle selection to confirm the keypad responds normally.
• If the door will not start a cycle reliably, check the latch alignment.

Resetting clears the control logic so you can confirm whether the issue was a one-time glitch or an ongoing keypad/control problem. If the code repeats, addressing the console, latch, or control prevents mid-cycle stops and no-start complaints.
