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.

Where to look (fast checklist)

• 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)

What the label is used for

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

What you need	Where it appears	Why it matters
Model number	On the model/serial label inside the door	Ensures correct parts fit
Serial number	On the same label	Helps identify production version
Purchase date (optional)	Not on the label	Useful for your records

Why it matters

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.

Helpful reference

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

• Compare the part name and reference location in the parts breakdown
• If multiple versions exist, match by connector style, mounting points, and hose size
• Replace any one-time-use clamps or seals disturbed during the repair

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.

What to do first (quick checks)

• 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.

Parts that commonly cause E22 symptoms

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)

Symptom you notice	Most likely area	What we check
Standing water after cycle	Filter/sump restriction	Debris at pump intake, screens, sump area
Hums but drains slowly	Drain pump	Impeller jam, pump wear, electrical failure
Drains sometimes, not always	Hose or air gap/high loop	Kinks, clogs, improper routing

Why it matters

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.

Reference for model-specific operation

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.

Quick way we decide: cost, age, and what failed

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.

Common repairs that are usually “worth it” on 66513482K902

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

When replacement makes more sense

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

Repair vs. replace snapshot

Situation	Typical best choice	Why
Single leak at the door	Repair	Seal replacement is targeted and restores reliability
Won’t drain but motor runs	Repair	Drain pump or hose issue is usually contained
Tub is leaking	Replace	Structural repair is not cost-effective
Several expensive parts failing	Replace	Cost stacks up quickly

Why it matters

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.
