Kenmore 66513043K116 dishwasher Parts

Yes. We still support replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 66513043K116. The key is matching parts by the full model number so you get the correct fit and electrical or plumbing connections for items like the drain pump, water inlet valve, filter, or heating element.

How to make sure you order the right part

Use your model number 66513043K116, then confirm the part name and ID before ordering. We recommend checking the parts diagram and the part’s description in the 66513043K116 owner's manual.

• Match by model number first (66513043K116), not just “Kenmore dishwasher”
• Compare the part ID and part name (example: dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269)
• If your symptom is performance-related, check maintenance items first (filter, spray arm)
• If your symptom is “won’t start,” confirm the door latches and power supply basics
• For leaks or poor draining, verify hose routing and connections during replacement

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66513043K116 is usually worth it when the unit is under about 10 years old and the problem is a common wear item or a straightforward fix. If the repair involves major electrical or pump components and the dishwasher is older, replacement often makes more sense.

Quick way to decide (cost vs. value)

Use this checklist to make a clear call before buying parts:

• If the dishwasher is under 10 years old, repairs are typically cost-effective.
• If the issue is draining, heating, or a latch problem, repairs are commonly successful.
• If you see leaks at the sump or hoses, fixing early helps prevent cabinet and floor damage.
• If the repair requires multiple major parts at once, replacement is often the better value.
• If installation conditions are poor (carpeted floor, freezing risk, no clearance), correct that first; see the installation guide.

Common repairs that are often “worth it” on 66513043K116

These are frequent, targeted fixes that can restore performance without replacing the dishwasher:

• No heat or poor drying: check the element assembly W10518394
• Won’t drain or leaves water: check the dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 and drain path
• Door won’t latch or stops mid-cycle: check the dishwasher door latch WPW10653840
• Poor cleaning: clean the filter and inspect the dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331
• Leak at the pump area: inspect seals and the dishwasher sump and seal assembly WPW10455268

Repair vs. replace: simple comparison

Situation	Repair usually makes sense	Replace usually makes sense
Age	Under ~10 years	Over ~10 years
Problem type	Single failed part, clog, leak at a seal	Multiple major failures or repeated breakdowns
Cost	Part cost is modest and labor is low	Repair cost approaches a large share of a new unit

Why it matters

A dishwasher that heats, drains, and seals correctly cleans better and avoids secondary damage (standing water, odors, and leaks). Fixing a single failed component early is often the most economical path.

Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the appliance’s identification label, not on the control panel. On Kenmore dishwashers like model 66513043K116, the label is typically found on the tub frame around the door opening; check the left or right side edge after you open the door. For label examples and wording, use the owner's manual.

Where to look (fast checklist)

• Open the dishwasher door fully.
• Look along the tub rim (the frame the door seals against).
• Check the left side first, then the right side.
• Look near the top edge and down the vertical edges.
• If you do not see it, check the inner edge of the door itself.

What the label looks like

The tag usually lists the model number and serial number together. The model number may appear with punctuation on some labels (for example, a series format like 665.1304* in the literature), but you should enter the full model exactly as shown on your tag when ordering parts.

Label item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Matching parts and diagrams	66513043K116
Serial number	Production date tracking	Letters and numbers

Why it matters

Using the exact model number ensures you get the correct fit for common dishwasher parts such as the door latch, water inlet valve, and drain pump. Even small model variations can change racks, spray arms, and electronic controls.
