Kenmore 66513734K601 dishwasher Parts

Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 66513734K601. The key is matching parts by the full model number so the fit and electrical ratings are correct; you can also confirm compatible part numbers in the 66513734K601 owner's manual.

How to make sure you order the right part

• Use the complete model number 66513734K601 (not just “Kenmore 665”).
• Match by symptom first (won’t drain, not heating, leaking), then confirm the part.
• Compare the part name and part ID, not only the description.
• If your dishwasher shows an error, use the Kenmore 665 model dishwasher error codes list to narrow the failure.
• When installing, follow the grounding and power guidance in the 66513734K601 installation guide.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66513734K601 is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear item (drain, heat, seals) and the repair cost stays well below the price of a comparable replacement. If the repair involves major electronics or multiple big-ticket parts, replacement often makes more sense.

Quick decision checklist

• If it’s under 10 years old, repairs are typically the better value.
• If the issue is one failed part (drain pump, heating element, door seal), repair is usually cost-effective.
• If you have leaks, no-drain, or poor drying, start with cleaning and basic checks before buying parts.
• If it needs a control board plus another major part, replacement is often the smarter spend.
• If the tub is damaged or heavily corroded, replacement is usually the better long-term choice.

Common repairs that are usually worth it on 66513734K601

Many “won’t drain,” “not drying,” and “leaking” complaints come down to a single serviceable component.

Symptom	Most common fix path	Example part for this model
Water left in bottom	Check drain path, air gap, then pump	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269
Dishes not drying well	Verify heat-dry settings, then test heater	Dishwasher heating element W10518394
Water leaking at door	Inspect/replace perimeter seal	Dishwasher door seal W10542314

Why it matters

A targeted repair keeps a built-in dishwasher running for years at a fraction of replacement cost, and it avoids the extra work of uninstalling, fitting, and anchoring a new unit. Our 66513734K601 owner's manual also includes care and troubleshooting sections that help you confirm the failure before you order parts.

Before you decide: 5 fast checks

• Run the disposer (if connected) and confirm the sink drain is clear.
• Check and clean the filter area and sump for debris.
• If it isn’t draining well, inspect and clean the sink or countertop drain air gap (if your setup has one).
• Look for obvious door seal gaps, tears, or hardened sections.
• Confirm the cycle and options you’re using (heated dry, high temp) match the results you expect.

Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label on the dishwasher itself. For model 66513734K601, open the door and look around the door frame or tub opening for a label that lists both the model and serial numbers (record them for parts and service).

Where to look on the dishwasher

Check these common label locations first:

• Along the inner edge of the tub opening (left or right side)
• On the top edge of the tub opening, just under the countertop
• On the door frame area, visible when the door is open
• On the side of the door (near the hinge area)

If you see multiple numbers, use the one labeled Model (it will match the 665.1373 style format shown in the owner's manual).

What to write down (and why)

The manual recommends recording the complete information from the label so you can match diagrams and order the correct parts.

• Complete model number (example: 66513734K601)
• Serial number
• Purchase date (if available)

Why it matters

Kenmore 665-series dishwashers can look similar across different versions and color codes. Using the exact model number from the label prevents ordering the wrong items like a door seal, drain hose, or electronic control.
