Kenmore 66513743K601 dishwasher Parts

Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including Kenmore model 66513743K601. The key is matching parts to your exact model number so items like the drain pump, heating element, door seal, and control board fit and work correctly.

Use your model number (66513743K601) and confirm the part location and description in the exploded views and parts list in the 66513743K601 owner's manual.

When you search parts, focus on the symptom first (no drain, no heat, leaking, not starting), then match the part.

• Confirm the full model number from the rating label before ordering

Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is printed on the model and serial number label, which is typically located inside the door area on the inner door frame or tub opening. For your unit, the model is 66513743K601; match that exact number when ordering parts or troubleshooting.

Where to look on the dishwasher

Check these common label locations first (in order):

• Inside the door opening on the inner door frame
• Along the top or side edge of the door
• On the tub wall near the door opening
• Behind the lower kickplate (toe panel) area
• On the side of the cabinet frame (visible with the door open)

The label usually lists both model number and serial number.

For Kenmore dishwasher model 66513743K601, the most reliable “hard reset” is to cancel the current cycle and clear the control, then restart. Press CANCEL/DRAIN and let the dishwasher complete the drain (about 2 minutes), then select a new cycle and press START/RESUME. See the 66513743K601 owner's manual for the exact button names on your console.

Reset options that work on this model

Use the option that matches what your dishwasher is doing:

• Stuck mid-cycle or won’t advance: Press CANCEL/DRAIN; keep the door closed until draining finishes.
• Wrong cycle/options selected: Press CANCEL/DRAIN to clear indicators, then reselect cycle and options.
• Paused with door open: Close the door firmly until it latches; press START/RESUME.
• Control acting “glitchy”: Turn off power at the breaker for 1 minute, restore power, then run a short cycle.

Step-by-step: cancel and restart (control reset)

1. Press CANCEL/DRAIN.
2. Close the door; the unit may run a drain for about 2 minutes.
3. When the Cancel/Drain light turns off, choose your cycle and options.
4. Confirm detergent is loaded correctly.
5. Press START/RESUME.

What to expect after a reset

What you see	What it means	What to do next
Cancel/Drain light on	Unit is canceling and draining	Keep door closed until it finishes
Start/Resume light flashing	Door is open or not latched	Close door firmly, then press Start/Resume
Still won’t start	Power, latch, or control issue	Check breaker, then review dishwasher wont start video

Why it matters

A proper cancel and drain clears the cycle logic and prevents starting a new wash with leftover water or partially completed steps. That protects wash performance and helps avoid nuisance error indicators.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66513743K601 is usually worth it when the problem is a wear-and-tear part (seal, hose, heater) and the total repair cost stays well below the price of a replacement. If the repair involves major electronics or a motor assembly, replacement can make more sense.

Quick decision checklist

• If the dishwasher is under 10 years old, repairs are typically the better value.
• If the issue is a leak, poor drying, or draining problem, it is often a straightforward fix.
• If you need a control board or pump motor, compare parts plus labor to a new unit.
• If the tub is damaged or leaking, replacement is usually the better path.
• If you have repeated failures in a short time, prioritize diagnosing the root cause (drain, fill, or heating).

Common repairs that are usually worth it

These are frequent, fixable problems on many Kenmore dishwashers:

Symptom	Often caused by	Example part for 66513743K601
Water leaking at the door	Worn door gasket	Dishwasher door seal W10542314
Dishes not drying well	Heater or venting issue	Dishwasher heating element W10518394
Won’t drain or drains slowly	Drain pump or drain path restriction	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269

When replacement is more practical

Replacement tends to win when the repair is high-cost or the machine is near end-of-life.

• Multiple major parts needed (for example, motor plus control)
• Electrical failures that point to the main control area
• Persistent performance issues even after cleaning and maintenance

Why it matters

A dishwasher is designed for years of dependable operation, but normal wear means some parts will eventually need service. Staying on top of cleaning and drainage helps prevent repeat breakdowns and keeps cycles efficient; our 66513743K601 owner’s manual covers care, cleaning, and troubleshooting steps.

On Kenmore dishwasher model 66513743K601, error code F2E2 means the control is not communicating correctly between the user interface (keypad) and the main electronic control board. This typically shows up when the keypad is unresponsive, buttons act erratically, or the cycle will not start.

What to try first (quick checks)

• Press Cancel/Drain and wait for the drain to finish.
• Turn power off at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power.
• Make sure no keys are stuck (a key held down can trigger a UI communication fault).
• If the dishwasher starts, run a short cycle and confirm the buttons respond normally.
• If the code returns, follow the diagnostic steps in the 66513743K601 owner's manual.

Common causes

• Moisture or residue in the console causing keypad signal issues
• Loose or oxidized connection between the console and control
• Failing electronic control board
• Intermittent power issue; a blown control fuse can also prevent normal operation

Parts that are often involved

These parts are commonly checked when F2E2 repeats after a power reset:

Symptom you see	Most likely area	Example part for this model
Buttons do nothing or act random	User interface/console circuit	Control and console wiring (inspect connections)
Dishwasher dead or resets	Main control power circuit	Fuse W10258275
Starts then stops, odd behavior	Main control logic	Dishwasher electronic control board WPW10084141

Why it matters

F2E2 is a control communication fault; when the keypad and main control cannot “talk,” the dishwasher may not start, may stop mid-cycle, or may not respond to selections. Fixing it early helps prevent repeated cycle interruptions and protects the control system from ongoing electrical stress.

On Kenmore dishwasher model 66513743K601, a red lock (padlock) light means the control lock (Lock On) feature is turned on, so the buttons are disabled. Turn it off by pressing and holding HEATED DRY for 4 seconds until the lock light goes out (see the 66513743K601 owner’s manual).

How the lock feature works

When Lock On is lit, the dishwasher prevents unintended use and stops cycle or option changes.

• All control buttons are disabled while Lock On is active
• The door can still be opened while controls are locked
• If you press a button while locked, the lock light typically flashes
• To continue a cycle after unlocking, press Start/Resume

How to turn control lock on or off

Use this quick reference for model 66513743K601:

What you want to do	What to press	How long	What you should see
Turn lock on	HEATED DRY	4 seconds	Lock On light turns on
Turn lock off	HEATED DRY	4 seconds	Lock On light turns off

If the red lock won’t turn off

These steps fix most “stuck lock” situations.

• Press and hold HEATED DRY firmly for a full 4 seconds (do not tap)
• Close the door fully; some models ignore keypad input if the door is not latched
• If the dishwasher is mid-cycle, unlock, then press Start/Resume to continue
• If the keypad is unresponsive, reset power by turning the breaker off for 1 minute, then retry
• If multiple buttons do not respond, inspect for moisture or damage around the console

Why it matters

Control lock is a normal feature that prevents accidental starts and unwanted cycle changes, especially in homes with kids or when wiping the control panel.

Water standing in the bottom of your Kenmore dishwasher model 66513743K601 usually means the unit is not draining fully at the end of the cycle. We focus first on simple causes like an incomplete cycle, a blocked drain path (filter, hose, air gap), or a drain pump problem; then we move to installation issues.

Quick checks that fix most standing-water problems

• Confirm the cycle is actually complete; cancel and drain if your model supports it.
• Check the sink drain or garbage disposer; a slow house drain can back water into the dishwasher.
• If you have a countertop drain air gap, clean it (it can clog and stop draining).
• Inspect the drain hose routing under the sink for kinks, crushing, or a low loop that is missing.
• Listen during drain: a strong drain sound with no water leaving points to a blockage; a hum with little movement points to the pump.

What the manual and install guide point to

Your 66513743K601 owner's manual calls out two common reasons water remains:

• The cycle is not complete.
• The disposer knockout plug was not removed during installation (this blocks the drain path).

Your 66513743K601 installation guide also emphasizes checking operation after install and verifying the dishwasher is working properly.

Parts that commonly solve a no-drain or slow-drain symptom

If the drain path is clear and the dishwasher still will not pump water out, these model-matched parts are common fixes:

• Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 (won’t drain, humming, or weak pumping)
• Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A (kinked, split, restricted, or incorrectly routed)
• Dishwasher drain hose WPW10545278 (alternate drain hose used on some configurations)

Symptom-to-part guide

What you notice	Most likely area	Common next step
Water remains only at end of cycle	Drain path or cycle interruption	Check air gap, disposer plug, hose routing
Loud hum but little/no draining	Drain pump	Inspect impeller area; replace pump if seized
Drains sometimes, not always	Partial clog or hose issue	Clear debris; verify high loop/air gap

Why it matters

Standing water can cause odor, redeposit food soil, and lead to poor wash results. Restoring proper drainage protects the sump area, pump, and overall cleaning performance.
