Kenmore 66512413N412 dishwasher Parts

Yes. We still support replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 66512413N412; the key is matching parts by the full model number so you get the correct fit for items like the drain pump, water inlet valve, filters, and door latch. See the 66512413N412 owner's manual for model-specific part and service guidance.

How to find the right part for your Kenmore 66512413N412

Use your model number first, then narrow by symptom (won’t drain, not heating, leaking, won’t latch).

• Confirm the model number on the dishwasher’s rating label (inside the door area).
• Identify the symptom (drain issue, fill issue, heat/dry issue, rack/door issue).
• Match by part ID and description, not just a similar-looking photo.
• Replace related wear items together when it makes sense (for example, filter and filter cup).
• Follow electrical and water safety steps before servicing.

The Kenmore dishwasher model 66512413N412 is a standard built-in size; the key fit dimension is height. Our installation specs show it’s factory-set for about 34 1/2 inches tall (adjustable), and it can fit cabinet openings down to about 33 1/2 inches tall with leg/spacer changes. See the 66512413N412 installation guide.

What dimensions matter most for fit

For built-in dishwashers like Kenmore 66512413N412, these are the measurements that determine whether it will slide into your opening:

• Cabinet opening height (most critical)
• Opening width (typically a 24-inch class opening)
• Opening depth and door clearance (toe-kick and adjacent cabinet clearance)
• Leveling leg adjustment range (front and rear legs)
• Water and drain line routing space behind the unit

Height adjustment details (from the install specs)

The installation instructions note the leveling legs are preset at the factory for approximately 34 1/2 inches (87.6 cm). If your cabinet opening is shorter, the rear leveling legs and spacers can be removed to allow fit in an opening as low as approximately 33 1/2 inches (85.1 cm) (measurements are approximate). Refer to the 66512413N412 installation guide for the height adjustment chart and the exact procedure.

Quick fit table

Fit item	Typical target	What to check on 66512413N412
Cabinet opening height	~34 1/2 in	Adjustable; can fit down to ~33 1/2 in with changes
Width class	24 in	Measure your opening side-to-side
Depth/clearance	Varies	Confirm door swing and toe-kick clearance

Why it matters

If the opening height is too tight, the dishwasher can bind during installation, sit unlevel (causing poor draining), or rub the countertop. Getting the opening height and leveling legs right helps prevent leaks, noise, and wash performance issues.

To check the pump impeller on your Kenmore 66512413N412 dishwasher, we disconnect power, access the pump area from inside the tub, and confirm the impeller spins freely and is not jammed by debris. If it binds, wobbles, or is damaged, the pump typically needs service.

Safety first

• Turn off power at the breaker or unplug the dishwasher before any inspection.
• Shut off the water supply if you will remove hoses.
• Use a towel in the tub to prevent dropped screws from falling into the pump area.
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; broken glass and sharp debris are common.

For model-specific access and panel removal steps, follow the 66512413N412 installation guide.

How we check the impeller (basic inspection)

1. Remove the lower rack.
2. Remove the lower spray arm and any covers/screens needed to reach the sump area (varies by configuration).
3. Clear standing water with a cup or sponge.
4. Look for debris (labels, bones, glass) around the impeller inlet.
5. Gently rotate the impeller with a finger or a plastic tool.

What “normal” feels like

• Smooth rotation with light magnetic “steps” is normal on many dishwasher pumps.
• The impeller should not grind, seize, or feel loose on the shaft.

Signs the pump is the real problem

• Loud grinding or rattling during drain or wash
• Poor draining or water left in the bottom
• Weak spray and poor cleaning (circulation issue)
• Repeated stopping mid-cycle (often after a fill)

Quick decision guide

What you find	Likely cause	What we recommend
Impeller jammed with debris	Foreign object	Remove debris; re-test
Impeller spins but is wobbly/cracked	Worn impeller/pump	Replace pump assembly
Drain issue only	Drain pump or drain path	Check/replace dishwasher drain pump W10876537
Weak wash spray	Circulation/diverter issue	Inspect sump, diverter, and heater circuit

Why it matters

A damaged or jammed impeller reduces water movement. That can cause poor cleaning, standing water, and extra strain on the motor, which often leads to repeat failures if the blockage is not removed.

To force your Kenmore dishwasher model 66512413N412 to drain, use the built-in Cancel/Drain function: press and hold START/RESUME for 3 seconds, then close the door so the drain cycle can run (typically about 2 minutes). See the steps in the 66512413N412 owner's manual.

Quick steps to cancel and drain

• Open the door slightly to stop the cycle.
• Wait for spraying to stop.
• Press and hold START/RESUME for 3 seconds to start Cancel/Drain.
• Close the door; draining will not begin until the door is closed.
• Let the dishwasher drain completely (the Cancel/Drain light typically turns off after about 2 minutes).

If it still will not drain (common causes)

If the Cancel/Drain cycle runs but water remains, we focus on the drain path and drain components.

• Check the sink/disposer connection; the drain connection must be made before the drain trap and at least 20 inches above the floor.
• If connected to a garbage disposer, make sure the disposer inlet plug was removed.
• Look for kinks, clogs, or a low spot in the drain line; confirm a proper high loop or air gap setup.
• Inspect the drain hose for blockage; replacement options include dishwasher drain hose 8269144A or dishwasher drain hose WPW10545278 (match your existing routing and ends).
• If you hear humming but no pumping, the drain pump can be the issue; see dishwasher drain pump W10876537.

Drain setup options (what to verify)

Use this as a quick checklist against your installation.

Setup type	What to confirm	Why it matters
Waste disposer, no air gap	Disposer plug removed; hose secured with clamp	A blocked disposer inlet stops draining
No disposer, no air gap	Hose connects to waste tee above trap	Prevents backflow and slow drains
With air gap	Air gap hoses clear and clamped	Prevents siphoning and countertop leaks

Why it matters

A proper Cancel/Drain clears standing water so you can safely restart a cycle, prevent odors, and reduce the chance of water backing up into the tub. Correct drain hose height and routing also prevents recurring “not draining” symptoms.

Common problems on the Kenmore 66512413N412 dishwasher include poor cleaning, not draining, not starting (often a door latch or Start/Resume issue), leaking, and spotting or cloudy glassware from hard water. Our first step is always to follow the checks in the 66512413N412 owner's manual.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Not cleaning well: clogged filter, blocked spray nozzles, overloading, low water temperature
• Not draining: kinked/blocked drain hose, clogged filter cup, failed drain pump
• Won’t start or stops mid-cycle: door not fully latched, Control/Lock enabled, Start/Resume sequence not completed
• Leaking: loose hose connections, sump seal issues, inlet valve seepage
• Cloudy or spotted dishes: hard water, low rinse aid, incorrect detergent amount

Quick checks we recommend (fast, no parts needed)

1. Confirm the door is fully closed and latched; large dishes can interfere with the wash system and prevent latching.
2. If the Start/Resume light is blinking, press START/RESUME and close the door within about 3 seconds.
3. Make sure Control/Lock is not turned on.
4. Verify hot water is reaching the dishwasher; for best results, incoming water is typically 120°F (49°C).
5. Clean the filter area and check the drain path (including any drain air gap, if your setup has one).

Parts that commonly fix these issues on model 66512413N412

Symptom	Part to check	What it affects
Not draining	Dishwasher drain pump W10876537	Pumps water out at the end of wash/rinse
Leaking at fill or no fill	Dishwasher water inlet valve W11175771	Controls water entering the tub
Poor drying or water not heating	Element assembly W10518394	Heats water and supports drying
Door won’t latch	Dishwasher door latch WPW10653840	Allows cycle to start and continue
Standing water, soil redeposit	Dishwasher filter WPW10463906	Traps food soil to improve cleaning

Why it matters

Most “big” dishwasher complaints trace back to a few basics: the door must latch, water must heat to the right temperature, and the filter and drain path must stay clear. Fixing those first prevents repeat clogs, poor cleaning, and cycle interruptions.

On a Kenmore dishwasher, an E25 code points to a drain problem, most often a blocked drain pump or an issue with the pump cover area that prevents proper draining. For model 66512413N412, start by checking for clogs and confirming the unit is installed and draining correctly per the 66512413N412 owner's manual.

What to check first (fast, no parts)

• Cancel the cycle and let the dishwasher try to drain.
• Remove the lower rack and look for standing water in the sump area.
• Clear debris that commonly jams the drain path (labels, glass, seeds, toothpicks).
• Check the sink drain or disposer inlet where the dishwasher drain connects.
• If you have a drain air gap, clean it (a clogged air gap can mimic a pump failure).

Drain system quick diagnosis

What you notice	Most likely cause	What to do next
Humming during drain but little or no water leaves	Drain pump jammed or obstructed	Inspect for debris; if it persists, replace the pump
Water drains slowly	Partial blockage in hose, air gap, or plumbing	Clear hose/air gap; verify high loop/connection
No sound during drain step	Electrical issue, control, or failed pump	Check wiring and pump; consider pump replacement

Parts that commonly fix an E25 drain issue

If cleaning does not restore normal draining, these model-matched parts are common solutions:

• Dishwasher drain pump W10876537 (failed motor or damaged impeller)
• Dishwasher drain hose 8269144A (kinked, restricted, or deteriorated hose)
• Dishwasher sump and seal assembly WPW10455268 (leaks or internal flow issues that affect draining)

Why it matters

When the dishwasher cannot drain, dirty water can recirculate and the control may stop the cycle to protect the unit. Fixing the drain restriction quickly helps prevent odors, poor cleaning, and repeat error codes.

On Kenmore dishwasher model 66512413N412, we find the model number on the rating label located just inside the door, typically along the left-hand side of the tub opening. The same label usually lists the serial number as well.

Quick steps to locate the rating label

• Open the dishwasher door fully.
• Look along the inner edge of the tub opening (not the outer door panel).
• Check the left-hand side first.
• Find a printed label with Model and Serial fields.
• Write the model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers matter).

What the label helps you do (and why it matters)

The model number is the key to matching the correct Kenmore parts and instructions for your exact dishwasher. Using the wrong model number can lead to ordering a part that does not fit or troubleshooting the wrong system.

Model vs. serial number (what to record)

Item	What it identifies	When you need it
Model number	The exact dishwasher design and parts fit	Parts lookup, manuals, repair instructions
Serial number	The specific unit and production run	Service history, warranty or technician support

Tips if the label is hard to read

• Wipe the area with a damp cloth and mild soap; dry it and re-check.
• Use a flashlight and take a close-up photo to zoom in.
• If the label is damaged, compare the control panel and interior features with the diagrams in the 66512413N412 owner’s manual.
