Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still support parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 66513552K700, as long as the part is still manufactured and available. The key is matching parts by the full model number so you get the correct fit for items like pumps, seals, and heating components.
How to find the right part for your Kenmore 66513552K700
Use the model number 66513552K700 to look up the exact part you need, then match by part name and part ID.
- Find the symptom first (not draining, not heating, leaking, not starting)
- Look up the part by model number and section (pump, door, tub, controls)
- Match the part ID exactly (letters and numbers)
- Compare your original part visually (connectors, mounting points)
- Confirm installation steps in the documentation
A good reference for diagrams, part locations, and service notes is the 66513552K700 owner’s manual.
Common replacement parts that are still available
These are examples of commonly replaced parts listed for 66513552K700:
| Problem you notice | Part that often fixes it | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Dishes not drying, water not heating | Heating circuit issue | Dishwasher heating element W10518394 |
| Dishwasher won’t drain or drains slowly | Drain pump or restriction | Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 |
| Water leaking at the door | Door sealing surface | Dishwasher door seal W10542314 |
| No fill or weak fill | Water inlet problem | Dishwasher water inlet valve WPW10158389 |
Why model matching matters (especially with Kenmore)
Kenmore dishwashers are built across multiple manufacturing platforms, so parts that look similar can mount differently or use different electrical connectors. Using 66513552K700 prevents ordering a “close” match that does not fit.
Quick checks before ordering parts
These steps often narrow the problem fast:
- Reset power at the breaker, then try a short cycle
- After a couple minutes of running, check for water in the bottom of the tub
- Inspect the door seal area for debris or gaps
- Confirm the dishwasher is properly grounded and never use an extension cord
- Review installation clearances so hoses and wiring do not contact the motor or legs

How do I know what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is printed on the appliance’s identification label; on most units (including many 665-prefix designs), we find it when you open the door and look around the inner door frame or tub opening. For parts on this page, the model is 66513552K700.
Where to look for the model number label
Check these spots in order (they are the most common locations):
- Along the top or side edge of the inner door frame when the door is open
- On the left or right tub wall near the front opening
- Along the top edge of the door itself
- Behind the toe panel area (sometimes visible after removing the lower access panel)
- On the side of the cabinet (visible when the dishwasher is pulled out)
For diagrams and model-specific references, use the 66513552K700 owner's manual.
What the model number looks like (and why it matters)
Kenmore dishwasher model numbers are typically a long string of numbers and letters. Many Kenmore dishwashers start with 665 (a common Kenmore prefix), but the full model number is what ensures the right fit.
Why it matters
Using the exact model number helps us match the correct parts and troubleshooting steps for your dishwasher’s configuration (controls, tub style, racks, and pump system).
Quick checklist once you find the label
- Write down the full model number exactly as shown (example: 66513552K700)
- Record the serial number too (helpful for service and production variations)
- If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in to confirm characters
Model number vs. prefix (common confusion)
| What you see | What it means | What to use for parts |
|---|---|---|
| 665 | Prefix used on many Kenmore dishwashers | Not enough by itself |
| 66513552K700 | Full model number | Use this |
| Serial number | Production identifier | Helpful, but not a substitute |
If you are installing or pulling the dishwasher out
If you need to access the label by removing panels or moving the unit, follow the safety and fit guidance in the installation guide (dishwashers are heavy and must be secured properly).

Why is my Kenmore dishwasher leaking from the bottom of the door?
A bottom-front door leak on your Kenmore dishwasher model 66513552K700 is usually caused by a dirty, mis-seated, or damaged door seal, or by the dishwasher not being level and centered so the door doesn’t close evenly. Start by cleaning and inspecting the sealing surfaces, then verify alignment.
Quick checks that fix most leaks
- Wipe the inner door edge and tub lip; detergent film and food debris can break the seal.
- Inspect the door gasket for splits, flattening, or areas that pull out of the channel.
- Confirm the door closes firmly and latches without needing to lift or push.
- Check that the dishwasher is level and centered in the cabinet opening.
- Look for spray hitting the door directly (overloaded racks or a blocked spray arm can cause splash-out).
Leveling and door alignment (installation-related)
The installation instructions for this model call out checking that the unit is level and centered, and verifying the door-to-tub spacing is even on both sides when the door is opened slightly. Use the steps in the 66513552K700 installation guide to:
| What to check | What “good” looks like | What to do if it’s not |
|---|---|---|
| Level and centered | Even fit in the opening | Adjust/shim the front feet as needed |
| Door spacing | Equal gap on left and right | Loosen mounting brackets, re-center, then re-secure |
| Door spring tension | Door doesn’t drop open or slam shut | Adjust springs so both sides match |
When a part is likely needed
If cleaning and alignment don’t stop the leak, the gasket may be worn.
- Replace the seal if it’s torn, hardened, or permanently compressed
- Replace it if it won’t stay seated in the channel after cleaning
- Replace it if you see water tracks starting at a corner of the door
For this model, the correct replacement is the dishwasher door seal W10542314.
Why it matters
A door leak can drip into the toe-kick area and lead to repeated wet floors, odor, and poor wash results. Fixing the seal and door alignment restores proper water containment and normal wash pressure.
For cleaning guidance around the door area and interior surfaces, follow the care steps in the 66513552K700 owner’s manual.

How to reset a Kenmore dishwasher model 66513552K700?
To reset your Kenmore dishwasher model 66513552K700, we recommend clearing the current cycle first: press CANCEL/DRAIN and let the unit complete the drain (up to about 2 minutes). This resets the cycle selection and gets the control ready to start fresh.
Quick reset steps (most reliable)
- Close the door fully so the dishwasher can drain.
- Press CANCEL/DRAIN once.
- Wait until the Cancel/Drain light turns off (about 2 minutes).
- Select your new cycle and options.
- Press START/RESUME.
- If the control is unresponsive, turn power off at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power and try again.
If you are trying to “reset” because it is stuck mid-cycle
The reset method depends on when you catch it:
| When you change your mind | What to do | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| During the first minute | Choose a new cycle/options, then press START/RESUME | The dishwasher switches without a full drain in many cases |
| After the first minute | Press CANCEL/DRAIN, let it drain, then pick a new cycle and press START/RESUME | The dishwasher drains first, then you restart cleanly |
Why it matters
A proper reset on the 66513552K700 is really about safely stopping the wash action and clearing the selected cycle. Letting CANCEL/DRAIN finish prevents leftover water and helps avoid starting a new cycle with the wrong options still active.
Related help if the dishwasher still will not reset
If the dishwasher will not respond after a reset, we focus on power and control issues first:
- Check the house breaker or fuse.
- Confirm the door is latching fully (the unit will not run with the door unlatched).
- If the dishwasher is completely dead, a blown thermal fuse is common; see fuse W10258275.
- If lights are on but buttons act erratically, the control may be the issue; see dishwasher electronic control board WPW10084142.
- If you see an error code, use Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes to match the symptom to the right fix.
For model-specific button sequences and indicator behavior, follow the cycle-cancel instructions in the 66513552K700 owner's manual.
