Kenmore 66513892K801 undercounter dishwasher Parts

Yes. We still carry replacement parts for Kenmore dishwashers, including the Kenmore 66513892K801 undercounter dishwasher, as long as the part is still manufactured and available. The key is matching parts by your exact model number so the fit, wiring, and water connections are correct; see the 66513892K801 owner's manual for model-specific details.

How to make sure you order the right part

Use your full model number (66513892K801) and confirm the symptom you are fixing (no drain, no heat, leaking, won’t start). Then match the part name and part ID.

• Confirm the model tag inside the tub (typically on the door edge or frame)
• Compare the part ID, not just a description like “pump” or “seal”
• Check whether your issue is mechanical (leak, rack problem) or electrical (no power, no heat)
• Review installation and electrical requirements in the 66513892K801 installation guide
• Replace clamps or seals when you replace hoses to prevent repeat leaks

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher model 66513892K801 is usually worth it when the problem is a wear item or a single failed part and the repair cost stays well below the price of a comparable new dishwasher. For major electrical or motor failures, the decision comes down to total repair cost versus replacement value.

Quick way to decide (cost vs. benefit)

Use this simple rule: if the repair is under about 50% of replacement cost, repairing is typically the better value, especially when the tub and racks are in good shape.

• Repair is usually worth it when:

  • The dishwasher fills, washes, and drains but has one clear symptom (leak, no heat, won’t drain)
  • The issue points to a common service part (heater, drain pump, door seal)
  • The unit has no rusted-through tub or severe door damage
  • You can do safe DIY troubleshooting using the 66513892K801 owner’s manual

• Replacement is usually the better choice when:

  • Multiple expensive parts are likely (control + motor + wiring)
  • The tub is damaged or leaking from the tub itself
  • Repeated breakdowns are happening cycle after cycle

Common repairs for this model (and what they affect)

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for 66513892K801
Water remains in tub, won’t drain	Drain path, hose, drain pump	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269
Poor drying, water not heating	Heater circuit	Dishwasher heating element W10518394
Leaks at the door	Door gasket	Dishwasher door seal W10542314

Why it matters

A targeted repair can restore cleaning and drying performance and prevent secondary damage. For example, the manual’s troubleshooting guidance for “water remains in the tub/will not drain” focuses on basics like completing the cycle, checking for disposer knockout plug removal, and inspecting for kinks or obstructions in the drain hose. Those checks help you avoid replacing parts that are still good.

Before you spend money on parts

• Confirm the cycle completed and restart with Start/Resume if needed
• Check for a kinked or clogged drain hose and disposer inlet blockage
• Check the house fuse or circuit breaker
• If you suspect an electrical issue, test safely with proper tools and follow the wiring guidance in the installation guide

You can find the model number for your Kenmore dishwasher on the model and serial number label attached to the dishwasher. For model 66513892K801, check the door area first; the label is typically visible when you open the door.

Where to look on the dishwasher

Check these common label locations (in order):

• Along the inner edge of the door (top or side) when the door is open
• On the tub frame near the door latch area
• On the right or left side wall just inside the tub opening
• Near the bottom edge of the door liner

What you should write down

The manual recommends recording key details from the label for service and parts matching:

• Complete model number (example: 66513892K801)
• Serial number
• Purchase date

Item	Why it matters
Model number	Ensures diagrams and replacement parts match your exact dishwasher
Serial number	Helps identify the production run and correct revisions
Purchase date	Useful for your own records and maintenance history

Tips to avoid a parts mismatch

• Copy the model number exactly, including all digits and letters
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in to confirm characters
• Use the complete model number (not just the “665.1389” series shown in some documentation)

Why it matters

Kenmore dishwashers often share similar designs across a series, but parts like the electronic control, door latch, or heating element can vary by the full model number. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct diagrams and parts the first time.
