Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still carry replacement parts for Kenmore dishwashers, including the Kenmore 66574362K1. The key is matching parts to your exact model number so you get the correct fit and connections for items like the door seal, water inlet valve, spray arm, and dishrack components.
How to make sure you order the right part
Use the full model number 66574362K1 and confirm the part’s location and description in the 66574362K1 owner’s manual. Then match the part name and part ID when you shop.
- Find the model number on the dishwasher’s frame (typically along the tub opening).
- Compare the symptom to the likely system (fill, wash, drain, heat, door).
- Verify the part name and part ID before ordering.
- Replace any related seals or clamps when you disturb a water connection.
- After installation, run a short cycle and check for leaks.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes; repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66574362K1 is worth it when the failure is a common wear item (seal, latch, valve, rack parts) and the total repair cost stays well below replacement. For major pump or control failures, compare total cost and expected reliability.
Quick decision guide
Use this rule-of-thumb for 66574362K1:
| Situation | What it usually means | Best choice |
|---|---|---|
| Leak at the door | Worn gasket or door not sealing | Repair |
| Won’t fill or fills slowly | Inlet valve or float issue | Repair |
| Won’t start or won’t latch | Door latch or switch issue | Repair |
| Loud grinding, no wash action | Pump or motor problem | Compare costs |
Repairs that are usually cost-effective
- Stop door leaks with the dishwasher door seal WPW10509257
- Fix a door that won’t latch with the dishwasher door latch WP3380854
- Restore filling with the dishwasher water inlet valve W10844024
- Improve draining by inspecting the dishwasher drain hose WP3374077
- Improve wash coverage by checking the dishwasher spray arm WP8268874
When replacement makes more sense
- The repair requires a high-cost drive component (pump motor, circulation system)
- Multiple major symptoms happen together (leaking plus not washing plus not draining)
- You’ve had repeated breakdowns in a short time
Why it matters
Most dishwasher problems are isolated to one part. Fixing a single leak, fill, or latch issue often restores normal cleaning and drying without the cost of a new dishwasher.
What we recommend before you decide
Use the troubleshooting steps in the 66574362K1 owner’s manual to confirm the symptom and narrow the likely part.

How do I find the model number on my 66574362K1?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label on the dishwasher itself. For model 66574362K1, the owner's manual shows that the label location is illustrated in the “Parts and Features” section.
Where to look on the dishwasher
Check these common label locations used on Kenmore 665-series dishwashers:
- Along the tub frame, visible when you open the door
- On the left or right inner door edge
- Near the top of the tub opening (around the door gasket area)
- Occasionally on the side of the tub behind the door
What to write down (you will use it for parts and service)
Record the information exactly as shown on the label:
- Full model number (for example, 665.7436 with a color suffix)
- Serial number
- Purchase date (if you still have it)
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching parts and diagrams | 665.7436XX |
| Serial number | Identifying production run | Letters and numbers |
| Purchase date | Warranty and records | Month/day/year |
Why it matters
Kenmore model numbers can look similar across the 665 series, but small differences change which parts fit (like a door seal, spray arm, or water inlet valve). Using the exact model number helps ensure you order the correct replacement parts the first time.
If you are using the installation paperwork
The installation guide also notes you will need the dishwasher model and serial numbers when you have questions about installation or operation, so it’s worth recording them before you start any repair or install work.
