For the Kenmore dishwasher model 66513732K600, the most reliable “hard reset” is to cancel the current cycle and let the dishwasher drain, then restart a fresh cycle. This clears selected options and gets the control ready to run normally (it is the reset method described in the 66513732K600 owner's manual).

Reset steps (cancel and restart)

• Close the door fully.
• Press CANCEL/DRAIN once.
• Let the dishwasher run the drain cycle (about 2 minutes) until it stops.
• Refill/check detergent if you are starting over.
• Select your new cycle and options.
• Press START/RESUME.

If the buttons do not respond (control lock)

If LOCK ON is lit, the controls are disabled. Turn the lock off, then restart.

• Press and hold HEATED DRY for 4 seconds to toggle Lock On off.
• Confirm the LOCK ON light turns off.
• Press CANCEL/DRAIN, let it drain, then press START/RESUME.

What “reset” does (and does not) do

Action	What it fixes	What it will not fix
CANCEL/DRAIN then restart	Stuck cycle, wrong options selected, need to start over	No power, tripped breaker, failed control board
Turn Lock On off	Unresponsive keypad due to lock	Mechanical issues like leaks or poor washing

Why it matters

Canceling and draining protects the pump and prevents mixing detergent and dirty water from a stopped cycle into your next wash. It also clears cycle indicators so the dishwasher starts with a clean set of selections.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66513732K600 is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear item (leak, no heat, won’t drain) and the repair cost stays well below the price of a replacement. For major electronic or motor failures, we compare total repair cost to the dishwasher’s age and overall condition.

Quick decision checklist

• If the dishwasher is under 10 years old, repairs are typically the better value.
• If the issue is leaking, start with seals and hoses before assuming a tub problem.
• If it won’t drain, check the drain path and air gap before replacing pumps.
• If it won’t dry or leaves water cool, heating circuit parts are common fixes.
• If the repair involves a control board or motor assembly, total cost can rise quickly.

Common repairs that are often cost-effective

These are frequent, straightforward fixes on many Kenmore dishwashers:

• Replace a leaking door seal: dishwasher door seal W10542314
• Fix poor drying or no heat: dishwasher heating element W10518394
• Resolve drain problems after clearing clogs: dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 or dishwasher drain hose 8269144A

Cost vs. value guide (rule of thumb)

Repair type	Typical value outcome	Why
Seal or hose leak	Usually worth repairing	Low parts cost, prevents cabinet and floor damage
Drain issue	Usually worth repairing	Often a clog, air gap issue, or pump/hose replacement
Heating issue	Usually worth repairing	Restores drying and wash performance
Control or motor/sump	Depends on age and total cost	Higher parts cost, more labor, more risk of additional wear

Why it matters

A dishwasher that is not heating or not draining can look “dead,” but many causes are routine maintenance or a single part. The 66513732K600 manual also calls out checking and cleaning the drain air gap when the dishwasher isn’t draining well, since it helps prevent sink drain backups from pushing water into the dishwasher. Use the 66513732K600 owner’s manual for model-specific troubleshooting steps and care guidance.

Common problems we see with the Kenmore 66513732K600 dishwasher include not starting, stopping mid-cycle, not draining, poor cleaning, and leaking. Many issues trace back to a door not latching, a tripped breaker or blown fuse, a paused cycle after the door opens, or a water supply valve that is turned off; our 66513732K600 owner's manual troubleshooting steps cover these checks.

Most common symptoms and what they usually mean

• Won’t start or stops during a cycle: door not fully closed and latched, wrong cycle selected, power interruption, or overload reset.
• START/RESUME light flashing: the door was opened during the cycle or power was interrupted.
• Not draining: drain path restriction, drain hose routing issue, or a failing drain pump.
• Poor drying or cool water: heating circuit issue (heater, control, or wiring).
• Leaks at the door: worn or mis-seated door seal.

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

• Confirm the door closes tightly and latches.
• Verify the correct cycle is selected and the dishwasher is not in a brief normal pause.
• Check the home breaker or fuse; reset once if tripped.
• Make sure the water shut-off valve is fully open.
• If it stopped after heavy loading, wait a few minutes for the motor overload to reset.

Parts that commonly solve these problems

Symptom	Common part to inspect	Example part for this model
Not draining	Drain pump, drain hose	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269, dishwasher drain hose 8269144A
Poor drying / water not heating	Heating element	Dishwasher heating element W10518394
Leaking at door	Door seal	Dishwasher door seal W10542314
Dead/no response	Fuse, electronic control	Fuse W10258275, electronic control WPW10084141

Why it matters

Catching the simple causes first (door latch, power, water supply, normal pauses) prevents unnecessary part replacement. When a true component failure exists, matching the symptom to the right part (drain, heat, seal, or control) shortens repair time and helps restore normal cycle performance.

On the Kenmore 66513732K600 dishwasher, the most commonly replaced parts are the components that handle heating, draining, filling, and sealing. We see frequent replacements for the heating element, drain pump, water inlet valve, door seal, and rack items like the silverware basket due to normal wear, clogs, leaks, or breakage.

• Leaks at the door: Dishwasher door seal W10542314
• Loading wear and tear: Dishwasher silverware basket W10807920, racks, rollers, and stops

Quick symptom-to-part guide

Symptom	Most likely area	Example part for this model
Dishes not drying, water not heating	Heating circuit	Heating element
Water won’t drain, dirty water left	Drain system	Drain pump, drain hose
Dishwasher won’t fill or fills slowly	Water supply	Water inlet valve
Water leaking from the front	Door sealing	Door seal
Rack won’t roll or items don’t fit right	Rack hardware	Basket, stops, rollers

Why these parts fail most often

These parts do the most work every cycle. The manual also calls out key dishwasher features like the heating element and water inlet opening, which are central to wash performance and are common service points over time.

What to check before replacing parts

• Clean the filter area and check spray arms for debris
• Confirm the cycle completed and the door latched fully
• Check for kinks in the drain hose and proper high loop/air gap setup
• Look for visible cracks, warping, or flattening on the door seal
• Verify the dishwasher is level and aligned to the countertop (helps reduce vent moisture and door leaks)

The red lock (padlock) light on a Kenmore dishwasher usually means Control Lock (Lock On) is turned on, so the buttons will not respond. On model 66513732K600, you turn the lock on or off by holding HEATED DRY for about 4 seconds until the lock light changes.

How to turn Control Lock off (66513732K600)

1. Make sure the dishwasher door is closed (latched).
2. Press and hold HEATED DRY for 4 seconds.
3. Release the button when the LOCK ON light turns off.

If you press a button while locked, the lock light typically flashes several times to show the controls are disabled.

What you can still do while it’s locked

Even with Control Lock on, some functions still work normally:

• You can open the door to add a dish.
• The cycle pauses when the door opens.
• To continue the cycle, unlock the controls first.
• Then press START/RESUME to restart the wash.

Quick checks if the lock keeps coming back

These steps fix most “stuck lock” complaints:

• Hold HEATED DRY a full 4 seconds (a quick tap will not change the lock).
• Wipe the control panel dry; moisture can trigger false button presses.
• Confirm no button is physically stuck.
• Restore power for 1 minute (unplug or switch the breaker off and back on), then try again.

Related indicator lights (what they mean)

Light/indicator	What it means	What to do
Lock/padlock (red)	Controls are locked	Hold HEATED DRY 4 seconds
Clean	Cycle finished	Press any button or close door
Sanitized (flashing)	Sanitizing did not complete	Rerun cycle; verify hot water supply

Why it matters

Control Lock prevents unintended cycle changes and helps keep kids from starting the dishwasher. If it’s on, the dishwasher can look “dead” even though power is fine.
