You can find the model number for your Kenmore Elite dishwasher on the rating label, which is typically located on the tub frame around the door opening (often along the left or right side edge). For this model, the number you are looking for will match the format shown in the 66514799N511 owner's manual.

Where to look on a Kenmore Elite dishwasher

Check these common label locations first:

• Along the left side of the tub opening, visible when the door is open
• Along the right side of the tub opening, visible when the door is open
• On the top edge of the tub opening (less common)
• On the inner door edge near the latch area
• Behind the lower toe-kick panel (some installations place the tech sheet there)

What the model number looks like (and why it matters)

Kenmore Elite dishwasher model numbers commonly start with 665 and may include additional digits/letters (for example, 66514799N511). The exact model number is what we use to match the correct parts list, diagrams, and repair instructions.

Model number vs. serial number

Label item	What it’s used for	Example format
Model number	Identifies the exact dishwasher design and parts	66514799N511
Serial number	Identifies your specific unit and production run	Letters and numbers (varies)

Tips if the label is hard to read

If the sticker is worn, try these quick fixes:

• Wipe gently with a damp cloth and a drop of dish soap, then dry
• Use a flashlight at an angle to make faint printing easier to see
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in to read the characters
• Write it down exactly, including all letters and numbers

Why it matters

Using the full model number prevents ordering the wrong dishwasher parts (like a door latch, drain pump, or dishrack adjuster) and helps troubleshooting match the correct Kenmore Elite series.

Yes. Kenmore Elite is Kenmore’s higher-end line, and the Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66514799N511 is built to deliver upgraded features and performance compared with standard Kenmore models; the exact feature set depends on the specific cycle and option selections listed in the owner's manual.

What “high end” means for Kenmore Elite dishwashers

In our experience, “Elite” typically signals a step up in areas that affect daily use:

• More wash options and cycle customization (for heavy soil, quick wash, and special items)
• Quieter operation compared with entry-level dishwashers
• Better drying performance when the heating and airflow systems are working correctly
• More flexible loading features (rack adjusters, rollers, and rack layouts)
• More advanced filtration and soil handling (your manual references an ULTRACLEAN filtration system)

Quick comparison: Kenmore vs. Kenmore Elite (typical)

Feature area	Standard Kenmore (typical)	Kenmore Elite (typical)
Cycles and options	Basic set	Expanded set, more customization
Noise level	Moderate	Lower (quieter designs)
Loading flexibility	Basic racks	More adjustability and smoother rack movement
Filtration	Standard	Enhanced filtration on many models

Parts that support “premium” day-to-day usability

If your dishwasher feels less “high end” than it should, worn rack and door components are common culprits. These model-matched parts can restore smooth operation:

• Dishwasher dishrack adjuster WPW10546503 if the upper rack will not stay positioned
• Dishwasher dishrack roller assembly, lower WPW10195417 if the lower rack binds, wobbles, or derails
• Dishwasher door latch WPW10653840 if the door will not close firmly or the unit will not start

Why it matters

A dishwasher can have premium features on paper, but it only performs like a high-end model when it fills, washes, drains, and seals correctly. Keeping racks aligned, the door latching securely, and cycles set correctly helps you get the best cleaning and drying results.

Yes, it’s usually worth repairing a Kenmore Elite dishwasher like model 66514799N511 when the problem is a common wear item (rack rollers, door latch, drain hose) or a single failed component and the tub is in good shape. Repairs become less cost-effective when multiple major parts (motor, control, tub) are involved.

Quick way to decide (cost vs. condition)

Use these checks before you buy parts:

• Age and overall condition: If racks, door seal, and tub are solid, repairs typically make sense.
• Symptom type: No-drain, won’t start, or poor drying often points to a single part.
• Leak source: A simple seal or hose leak is usually a good repair; tub or inner door rust-through is a bigger decision.
• DIY comfort level: Many dishwasher repairs are straightforward with basic tools.
• Parts availability: If the needed part is in stock, turnaround is faster.

Common repairs that are usually “worth it”

These are frequent fixes on 665-series style dishwashers and typically restore normal operation without replacing the whole unit:

• Replace a broken rack wheel with the dishwasher dishrack roller assembly, lower WPW10195417
• Fix a door that won’t latch or starts then stops with the dishwasher door latch WPW10653840
• Resolve draining problems by checking the drain path and replacing the dishwasher drain pump WPW10531320 if the pump is weak
• Stop a drip at the bottom edge of the door with the dishwasher door seal, lower W10909089
• Improve drying performance by testing and replacing the element assembly W10703867 when it’s open or damaged

When replacement is the better call

Replacement is typically the better value when you have repeated failures or multiple high-cost parts needed at once.

Situation	What it usually means	Typical direction
Multiple leaks from different areas	Several seals, hoses, or tub issues	Replace if repairs stack up
Motor or control problems plus another major issue	High parts cost and time	Replace
Tub or inner door panel rust-through	Structural issue	Replace (or major repair)

Why it matters

A dishwasher is a system: wash motor, drain system, heater, and door sealing all work together. Fixing the correct single failure often restores full performance, but stacking major repairs quickly exceeds the value of keeping the unit.
