Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. You can still get replacement parts for Kenmore dishwashers, including model 66513213K900, as long as you match parts to the exact model number. Common service items like a drain pump, water inlet valve, door seal, and heater element are typically available for routine repairs.
Use the model number 66513213K900 and confirm the part by name and ID in the parts diagram and list in the 66513213K900 owner's manual.
- Match the full model number exactly (including all digits and letters).
- Identify the failed symptom first (won’t drain, won’t fill, leaking, not drying).
- Cross-check the part name and part ID before ordering.
- Compare your original part’s connector style and mounting points.
- If multiple similar parts appear, use the diagram callouts to confirm placement.
These are frequent repairs on undercounter dishwashers like the Kenmore 66513213K900:
| Symptom | Likely part area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Water left in tub | Drain system | Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 |
| Not filling or fills slowly | Water supply | Dishwasher water inlet valve W10648041 |
| Leaks at the door | Door sealing | Dishwasher door seal W11196317 |
| Poor drying | Heating circuit | Heater element WPW10082892 |
Kenmore dishwashers are built across multiple manufacturing platforms over the years, so parts are not “one size fits all.” Using 66513213K900 ensures you get the correct OEM-style fit for electrical connectors, hose routing, and mounting.
If you are replacing drain components, route the drain hose correctly. The installation instructions recommend looping the drain hose up and fastening it to the underside of the counter (commonly called a high loop) to help prevent backflow and draining issues; see the 66513213K900 installation guide.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes; repairing a Kenmore dishwasher is worth it when the fix is a single, common failure (drain, fill, heat, or a door leak) and the machine is in good overall condition. For Kenmore model 66513213K900, replacement makes more sense when multiple major components fail or costs approach half the price of a comparable new dishwasher.
Use these checkpoints before ordering parts or scheduling service:
- Age: Under 10 years typically favors repair; over 10 years favors replacement if the repair is major.
- Cost: If the repair totals 50% or more of a comparable new dishwasher, replacement is usually the better value.
- What failed: One clear symptom favors repair; stacked symptoms often mean multiple problems.
- Tub and racks: A damaged tub or severely deteriorated racks pushes the decision toward replacement.
- Reliability: Repeated motor, wiring, or electrical failures favor replacement.
These are targeted fixes that often restore normal operation:
- Won’t drain or drains poorly: consider the dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269
- Leaks at the door: inspect and replace the door gasket if needed
- Poor drying or no heat: heating circuit issues are often repairable
| Symptom | Usually repair? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Won’t drain | Yes | Often a pump, hose, or blockage issue |
| Door leak | Yes | Common wear item; straightforward fix |
| Loud grinding plus poor wash | Sometimes | Can indicate a larger pump/motor issue |
| Multiple issues at once | Often replace | Costs add up quickly |
A dishwasher repair pays off when you fix one failure point and get several more years of dependable cleaning. When problems stack up, you can replace parts and still end up with noise, leaks, or poor performance.
Follow safety steps and troubleshooting guidance in the 66513213K900 owner’s manual.
- Confirm the breaker is on and the dishwasher has power
- Check for standing water and clear the filter area
- Inspect drain hose routing for kinks and a proper high loop/air gap
- Look for water under the toe-kick and along the door edges

How do I find the model number on my 66513213K900?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label on the dishwasher itself. For model 66513213K900, open the door and look around the inner door area and tub frame for the label; match the full model number exactly.
Check these common label locations first:
- Along the left or right side of the inner door (near the latch area)
- On the tub frame opening (the rim you see when the door is open)
- Near the top edge of the inner door panel
- On the side wall just inside the tub opening
Record the information exactly as shown on the label:
- Model number (use the full number, including any suffix)
- Serial number
- Purchase date (if available)
The model number ensures you get the correct Kenmore undercounter dishwasher parts, diagrams, and repair instructions for your exact build. Even small model variations can use different components like a drain pump, water inlet valve, or door seal.
| Item | What it looks like | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | A long number/letter string | Match every character exactly (for example: 66513213K900) |
| Serial number | Another long string | Useful for production date and service records |
| Label | Sticker or metal tag | Usually near the door opening, not on the exterior |
For diagrams and additional identification details, use the 66513213K900 owner’s manual.
