Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including Kenmore model 66513739K601. The key is matching parts to your exact model number so the fit, electrical connections, and mounting points are correct.

- Match the full model number exactly: 66513739K601
- Compare the part name and part ID (not just a description)
- Check whether the issue is a wear item (seal, hose) or a functional failure (pump, valve)
- Verify installation requirements like grounding and power connection method
- If you are installing a dishwasher or reconnecting utilities, follow the 66513739K601 installation guide
These are examples of parts we commonly see replaced on this model family:
| Symptom | Likely part type | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Dishes not drying, water not heating | Heating circuit | Dishwasher heating element W10518394 |

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66513739K601 is usually worth it when the problem is a normal wear item or a single failed part and the tub is in good shape. Repairs become less cost-effective when multiple major components fail at once or the unit has chronic leaks.
We look at three things first:
- Age: Dishwashers typically last 10 years.
- Repair cost vs. replacement: If the repair is under about 50% of the cost of a comparable new dishwasher, repair is the better value.
- What failed: A drain issue or heating issue is often a straightforward fix; repeated control or motor problems usually point to bigger wear.
These are frequent, “single-part” repairs that can restore normal washing and drying:
- Not drying well or water not heating: check the dishwasher heating element W10518394
- Not draining or standing water: check the dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269
- Slow fill or no fill: check the dishwasher water inlet valve W10648041
- Leaks at the door: inspect the dishwasher door seal W10542314
- Poor cleaning tied to sensing: consider the dishwasher turbidity sensor WPW10705575
These repairs can still be done, but we weigh them against age and overall condition:
| Repair type | Typical situation | Value call |
|---|---|---|
| Control/electronics | Random stopping, dead panel, repeated errors | Often borderline on older units |
| Major pump/motor assembly | Loud grinding, weak wash pressure, recurring wash failures | Worth it mainly if the rest is solid |
| Tub or structural leak | Cracks, seam leaks, persistent water damage | Usually replace |
A dishwasher that is otherwise sound can run for years after a targeted repair, especially when you also keep up with cleaning and drainage checks. Our Kenmore documentation also emphasizes routine care and troubleshooting steps that prevent repeat problems. See the 66513739K601 owner’s manual for model-specific troubleshooting and maintenance guidance.

How do I find the model number on my 66513739K601?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label on the dishwasher itself. For model 66513739K601, open the door and look around the door frame or tub opening for the label, then record the full model and serial numbers.
Check these common label locations first:
- Along the left or right side of the inner door frame
- On the tub rim near the latch area
- On the side wall of the tub opening (visible with the door open)
- Occasionally on the edge of the door itself
We recommend recording all three items so you can match parts and diagrams correctly.
| Item to record | Example format | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 66513739K601 | Ensures correct parts fit |
| Serial number | Letters and numbers | Helps identify production version |
| Purchase date | MM/DD/YYYY | Useful for service history |
- Copy the model number exactly as shown, including all digits and letters.
- If the label shows a series like 665.1373#, the “#” represents a color code; your full model (66513739K601) is the exact identifier to use for parts.
- If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in to confirm characters.
Kenmore 665-series dishwashers can look similar but use different components (for example, a control board, door seal, or drain pump). Using the exact model number helps us match the right diagrams and replacement parts the first time.
For more label and recording details, see the owner's manual.
