Kenmore 66513482K902 dishwasher Parts

On Kenmore dishwasher model 66513482K902, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label located just inside the door opening, along the inner edge of the tub frame. Open the door fully and look around the perimeter.

• Open the dishwasher door and stand in front of the unit
• Check the left and right inner edges of the tub frame first
• Look along the top edge of the door opening if you do not see it on the sides
• Find a label that lists model number and serial number together
• Write the numbers down exactly as shown (letters and digits)

That label is the ID tag we use to match the correct Kenmore parts diagrams, installation requirements, and service information for your exact dishwasher.

Kenmore dishwashers can look similar across multiple series, but parts like the heating element, drain pump, and control board can vary by model. Using the exact model number from the label prevents ordering the wrong replacement.

• The label location is shown in the 66513482K902 owner’s manual.

On Kenmore dishwasher model 66513482K902, an E22 code points to a drain or filter-area restriction that keeps water from moving out normally. Cleaning the filter area and checking the drain path usually clears the condition; if not, focus next on the drain pump and hose.

• Cancel the cycle and let the unit stop completely.
• Remove the lower rack and check the sump area for labels, glass, bones, or heavy food debris.
• Clean the filter screens and any visible debris around the pump intake.
• Verify the sink drain is flowing freely (a clogged disposer or drain can back up into the dishwasher).
• Run a short rinse cycle to confirm it drains strongly.

If cleaning does not restore normal draining, these parts are the most common next suspects for this model:

• Dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 (weak, jammed, or failed pump)
• Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A (kinked, restricted, or leaking hose)
• Dishwasher drain hose WPW10545278 (alternate drain hose used on some configurations)

A restricted drain path can leave dirty water in the tub, cause odors, and reduce cleaning performance. Keeping the filter area clear also helps protect the pump and prevents repeat drain errors.

For cleaning guidance, cycle cancel/drain steps, and safety notes, follow the instructions in the 66513482K902 owner’s manual.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 66513482K902 is usually worth it when the problem is a wear item (leak, no-heat, poor draining) and the repair cost is reasonable; it is less worth it when multiple major components are failing or the tub is damaged.

Use these checkpoints before you buy parts or schedule service:

• Age: Dishwashers typically last 9 to 12 years.
• Repair cost vs. replacement: If the repair is under ~50% of the cost of a comparable new dishwasher, repair is the better value.
• Type of failure: Seals, hoses, and some sensors are good repair candidates; repeated electrical failures or multiple leaks usually are not.
• Condition: If racks, door, and controls are in good shape, repairs pay off longer.
• DIY comfort: Many common fixes are straightforward with the right steps in the 66513482K902 owner's manual.

These are frequent, fixable issues that often restore normal washing and drying:

• Not drying or water not heating: check the dishwasher heating element W10518394
• Not draining well: check the dishwasher drain pump WPW10348269 and confirm the drain path is clear
• Door leaking: inspect the dishwasher door seal W10542314 for tears, flattening, or gaps
• No power or dead control symptoms: check the fuse W10258275

Replacement is the better call when you see any of the following:

• Cracked or leaking tub (structural leak)
• Multiple major parts needed at once (for example, pump motor plus control board)
• Recurring drain or wash performance problems even after cleaning and basic repairs
• Heavy corrosion or widespread damage inside the cabinet

A dishwasher that is heating, draining, and sealing correctly cleans better, dries better, and avoids cabinet or floor damage. The manual also notes that poor draining can be related to the home drain setup (for example, a drain air gap that needs cleaning), so checking maintenance items can prevent unnecessary part replacement.
