Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is usually printed on a label inside the door opening. For Kenmore units like model 66514793N513, the number often begins with 665 and is used to match the correct parts, installation requirements, and troubleshooting steps in the 66514793N513 owner's manual.

Where to look for the model number label

Check these common spots first (in order):

• Along the inner door frame (left or right side)
• On the top edge of the door (visible when the door is open)
• On the tub wall near the door opening
• Behind the lower access panel (kickplate area)
• On a sticker attached to the side of the cabinet frame

What the label looks like and what to write down

Most Kenmore dishwasher labels include several fields. Record them exactly as shown.

Label item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Correct parts list and diagrams	66514793N513
Serial number	Production details and service reference	Letters and numbers
Electrical rating	Installation and wiring checks	Volts/amps

Why the model number matters

Kenmore dishwashers can look similar across multiple model series, but parts like the door latch, racks, and pumps can differ. Using the exact model number helps us point you to the right replacement part the first time, such as the dishwasher door latch WPW10653840 if you are diagnosing a door that will not close or start.

Quick tips if the label is hard to read

• Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth and dry it
• Use your phone camera and zoom in for clearer text
• Copy the model number exactly (include all letters and numbers)
• If the model starts with 665, keep the full string after it (do not shorten it)

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66514793N513 is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear item (rack parts, latch, drain hose) or a single failed component. It becomes less cost-effective when multiple major parts are failing or the repair approaches the price of a replacement.

Quick decision checklist

• If the dishwasher is under 10 years old, repairs are typically the better value.
• If the issue is leaking at the door, not draining, or door won’t latch, repair is usually straightforward.
• If you need multiple major parts (control board plus motor/pump), replacement often makes more sense.
• If the tub is leaking from rust-through, the warranty for this Kenmore Elite line can affect the value decision (details are in the 66514793N513 owner's manual).
• If you can DIY safely, you can often save most of the cost by paying only for parts.

Typical repair costs vs. common fixes

Problem symptom	Common fix	Parts from this model that often apply	Repair value
Door won’t close or start	Replace latch	Dishwasher door latch WPW10653840	High
Water left in bottom	Clear blockage or replace drain pump	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10531320	High to medium
Door drops open or won’t stay up	Replace balance link	Dishwasher door balance link 8194001	High
Rack won’t roll smoothly	Replace roller/adjuster	Dishwasher dishrack roller assembly, lower WPW10195417	High

Why it matters

A targeted repair keeps your Kenmore 66514793N513 running reliably and avoids the cost and hassle of replacing an undercounter dishwasher. The best value comes from fixing one clear failure (latch, pump, hose, rack hardware) before it causes secondary damage like leaks or poor cleaning.

What we recommend before you decide

1. Confirm the symptom and run the basic checks in the 66514793N513 owner's manual.
2. Price the likely part(s) and compare to a replacement dishwasher.
3. If the repair involves electrical testing, use safe troubleshooting practices and follow the wiring guidance in the manual.

A Kenmore Elite dishwasher typically lasts 10 years with normal household use. For your Kenmore Elite model 66514793N513, consistent cleaning and periodic maintenance (especially the filtration system and drain path) are what most directly determine whether you reach that 10-year mark.

Typical lifespan and what affects it

• Water quality: hard water speeds up mineral buildup on the heating element and inside the sump.
• Filter and sump cleanliness: a dirty filter reduces wash performance and strains the circulation system.
• Loading habits: blocking spray arms or overloading increases wear and poor cleaning.
• Detergent and rinse aid use: correct amounts reduce residue and help drying.
• Heat and drying use: frequent heated drying can increase wear on heating components over time.

Maintenance that extends service life

We recommend following the care steps in the 66514793N513 use and care guide. Focus on these routine items:

• Clean the filter area and remove debris from the sump.
• Check and clean spray arms so jets are not clogged.
• Keep the door sealing surfaces clean and dry.
• Inspect the drain hose routing for kinks and proper high loop/air gap setup.
• Run a periodic cleaning cycle (dishwasher cleaner or approved method in the manual).

Common “wear” parts vs. “repair” parts

Some parts wear gradually; others fail suddenly. Here’s a quick way to think about it:

Symptom	Most likely category	Example part on this model page
Rack won’t roll smoothly	Wear item	Dishwasher dishrack roller assembly, lower WPW10195417
Not draining well	Repair item	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10531320
Poor drying or water not heating	Repair item	Element assembly W10703867

Why it matters

Knowing the typical 10-year lifespan helps you decide whether to maintain, repair, or replace. If your 66514793N513 is near 10 years old and needs a major repair (like a pump or control), comparing repair cost to replacement value is the most practical next step.
