Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is usually printed on a sticker or metal tag inside the door opening. For the dishwasher on this page, the model number is 36314072791; matching that exact number ensures you get the right Kenmore parts and troubleshooting steps.

Where to look for the model tag

Check these common locations in this order:

• Along the top edge of the door (visible when the door is open)
• On the left or right inner door frame
• On the tub wall just inside the door opening
• Along the side of the door near the hinges
• On the lower kickplate area (sometimes visible with a flashlight)

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

Kenmore model numbers can be all numbers (like 36314072791) or start with a prefix (often 665 on many Kenmore dishwashers). Use the full model number exactly as shown on the tag.

Why it matters

The model number determines the correct fit for key items like the pump and motor assembly, spray arm, water valve, and rack parts.

Quick check: model number vs. serial number

Use this table to avoid mix-ups when ordering parts.

Label on tag	What it’s used for	Example format

If the tag is missing or unreadable

Use these practical options:

• Look for a faint imprint on the tag with a flashlight at an angle
• Take a photo and zoom in to read worn characters
• Check any old purchase/installation paperwork for the full model number

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher model 36314072791 is usually worth it when the problem is a wear item (spray, drain, racks) or a single failed component; it is less worth it when the repair is a major drive or leak issue and the total cost approaches the price of a replacement.

Quick rule of thumb (repair vs replace)

Use these checkpoints to decide fast:

• Repair when the dishwasher is cleaning well overall and you have one clear failure (won’t drain, poor spray, broken rack/roller, dispenser issue).
• Repair when the fix is a common part and labor is minimal (hoses, rollers, spray arm).
• Replace when you have multiple symptoms (leaks + not washing + not draining) or repeated breakdowns.
• Replace when the tub is damaged, the unit is heavily rusted, or there is chronic leaking.
• Replace when a major assembly is needed and the total bill is close to a new dishwasher.

Typical repair cost impact (what the part suggests)

Here are examples of parts for this model and what they usually mean for value:

What failed	Example part for 36314072791	Typical value call
Poor cleaning, no spray, noisy wash	Spray arm WD22X154	Often worth repairing
Won’t drain, slow drain, drain leaks	Drain hose WD24X10014	Often worth repairing
Major wash performance issue, loud motor	Mechanism assembly WD26X10013	Depends on age and total cost

Why it matters

A dishwasher’s “value” comes down to whether you are restoring normal wash and drain performance with one targeted repair. Small fixes can restore cleaning and drying; major pump and motor work can be a tipping point if other parts are also worn.

Before you decide, do these checks

These quick checks help you avoid replacing a dishwasher that only needs a simple fix:

• Confirm the drain path is clear (air gap or high loop, disposer inlet plug removed if newly installed).
• Inspect and clean filters and the sump area; remove debris that can block circulation.
• Check that the spray arm spins freely and the holes are not clogged.
• Look for water under the unit after a cycle to identify a hose or seal leak.
