Kenmore Elite 66513793K600 dishwasher Parts

Common problems on Kenmore dishwashers (including Kenmore Elite model 66513793K600) include not starting, stopping mid-cycle, not draining, poor cleaning, and door or rack issues. Many of these come down to power, water supply, latching, or a worn pump, valve, or control component.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Won’t start or stops during a cycle: door not fully latched, cycle not set correctly, power interruption, tripped breaker or blown fuse
• No water or low fill: water shutoff valve closed, inlet valve issue, household water supply problem
• Not draining: clogged drain path, kinked drain hose, failed drain pump
• Poor cleaning: loading issues, spray arm blockage, filter or sump buildup, low water temperature
• Door problems: latch alignment, hinge wear, installation leveling issues

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

These checks match the basic “does not operate” troubleshooting steps in the installation and use-and-care guidance:

• Reset the house breaker or replace the house fuse if needed
• Confirm the door closes tightly and latches
• Re-select a cycle and press Start, then avoid opening the door right away
• Verify the water supply valve under the sink is fully open
• Start the shortest cycle and check for water in the bottom of the tub after a couple minutes (per the installation guide)

Parts that commonly fix these problems

If the quick checks don’t solve it, these model-matched parts are frequent culprits:

Symptom	Common part involved	Example model-matched part
Not draining	Drain pump or drain hose	Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269, Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A
Won’t fill	Water inlet valve	Inlet valve WPW10158389
Dead or erratic controls	Control board or fuse	Dishwasher electronic control board WPW10084141, Fuse W10258275

Why it matters

Catching the root cause early prevents repeat cycle failures, standing water odors, and unnecessary wear on the pump motor and electronic control board.

On the Kenmore Elite dishwasher model 66513793K600, the filter is located in the bottom of the dishwasher tub, directly under the lower spray arm area. You typically access it by pulling out the lower rack, then lifting or twisting the filter assembly out for cleaning; reinstall it fully seated before running a cycle.

How to access and clean the filter

• Turn the dishwasher off; let the wash water cool if it was recently running.
• Pull the lower dishrack straight out and set it aside.
• Look in the sump area at the bottom of the tub (center or slightly rear); the filter assembly sits there.
• Remove the filter (many Kenmore 665-style filters unlock with a short twist, then lift out).
• Rinse under warm running water; use a soft brush for stuck-on debris.
• Reinstall the filter so it locks in place; a loose filter can cause poor cleaning and drainage issues.

For diagrams and model-specific component locations, use the 66513793K600 owner’s manual.

What you might confuse with the filter

This model family also uses a soil removal and filtration system; some parts are not meant to be removed every wash.

Item	Typical location	What it affects
Filter assembly	Bottom of tub, under lower spray arm	Cleaning performance, recirculation
Overfill protection float	Bottom of tub area	Prevents overfilling
Drain air gap (if your home has one)	Sink/countertop near dishwasher	Helps prevent drain backup into dishwasher

Why it matters

A clogged or incorrectly installed filter can leave food debris on dishes, reduce water flow to the spray arms, and contribute to draining complaints. Keeping the filter clean is one of the fastest ways to restore normal wash performance.

If you still have debris or draining problems after cleaning

• Check the lower spray arm holes for clogs.
• Run a hot cycle with dishwasher cleaner or a vinegar rinse (per the troubleshooting guidance in the manual).
• If water remains in the tub, inspect the drain path and consider the drain components.
• For a drain-related repair on this model, the dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 and dishwasher drain hose 8269144A are common service parts.
