Kenmore Elite Dishwasher: Kenmore Elite Washer Leaking underneath

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 09:35:08 -0700

My Kenmore Elite just began a constant drip leak underneath. Appears to be coming from the incoming water source (looks like just above it). When I turn off the water source it stops, so it doesn't appear to be from the previous load.

Trying to attach photo...

Thanks for any direction.

Kenmore Elite Dishwasher: Kenmore Elite Power Chord Melted

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 10:39:49 -0700

My Kenmore Elite dishwasher just stopped working and I went looking around and found that the power cord had begun to melt and was all black and scary looking. I’m looking to replace this if anyone has any experience or insight it would be greatly appreciated. Dishwasher is already installed and not by myself so I don’t know where to begin and if this requires the unit to be removed or not.

I believe Model is #66512773K311

Kenmore Elite Dishwasher: Identify part and where it goes?

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 11:01:16 -0700

This part fell off of my Kenmore dishwasher. It was attached to the underside of the upper basket. But I can’t get it to go back on. I don’t know where it goes or how it snaps back on and I don’t even know what it’s for. At this point I’m ready to throw it in the trash unless someone could tell me what it is for and how I put it back and where it goes.

Kenmore Elite Dishwasher: Dishwasher fills and empties, but does not spray to wash.

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 19:49:37 -0700

Hello iFixIt community! I have a Kenmore Elite Dishwasher (665.14813N612). I can confirm that the water successfully enters and leaves the dishwasher, but it will not spray. I found that the dishwasher circulation pump filter was completely clogged, so I cleaned it out and confirmed that there was nothing else blocking the water path all the way to the wash arms. I put the dishwasher back together and it still didn't wash. I assumed that the pump burned out from the clogged filter, so I ordered a new pump. I replaced the pump, and it still doesn't work. Any ideas on what else to try?

Lock light on with Kenmore 66517772990. Tried pressing No Heat Dry button, as well as others with no change. Also disconnected power and no change when reconnected. Do you have any other suggestions for this model?
