66513966K017 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Thanks to all the people who video their repairs and such. Found the part number from whirlpool online resource then ask you tube for video of anyone who had this issue with this part and video taped their repair. Found video then went online to see where can I purchase this part. I chose Part Select. The part came in within a few days. Went back to video and watched as I replaced the part. Not one issue came up. If only all issues in life could be solved so easily.

Removing the door was straightforward. However, when the door panel was removed, I grabbed the door and my finger touched and pressed on something on the right side. This is an optical collector which focuses 3 lights (red, blue, green) into a visible slot. After I reinstalled the door, the lights were not visible. I had to disassemble the door a few times and bend this optical collector into the right position. Basically, I bent the collector into the door, so I needed to bend the collector away from the door. And now, everything is fine.

Went to PartsSelect. Put in Dishwasher model number. Chose the screws for that model number. Ordered the screws. Can't get any easier than that!

Unscrewed bottom panel of the dishwasher and simply replaced the bad control switch with the new one.

I removed the screws on the inside of the door. Removed panel from the outside. Disconnected the power wires to the panel. Disconnected the wires to the latch switch. Removed the latch assebly. Put new assembly in place. Connected swtich wire. Connected panel wire. Put panel back on dishwasher door. Installed panel retaining screws. Job Complete!

Turned off circuit breaker. Disconnected water line and electric line. Removed the dishwasher from under counter top. placed dishwasher on its back. removed old (broken) inlet valve assembly. Replaced with new. Reversed procedure to re-install.

twist filler hose assembly to the side and slide hose in. place clamps on hose and attach to water supply and valve.

I removed old hose and replaced it with a new one and reinstalled the dishwasher.

I took out the valve by loosing one screw, and to water hoses that were connected to valve with scrunchy metal things that came off with pliers. I read the part serial number to the guy at PartSelect. I got it in the mail within 3 days. I put it back in the opposite of taking it out. Worked great!

repair by replacement

Replaced latch switch with parts-select whirlpool (usa) model (good choice) and unit still wouldn't turn on. I then turned 115 vac power off to unit for 1 minute and then back on and unit worked correctly with no additional problems. .

repairman replaced the valve inlet; first website tried to tell me I needed a new pump, but repairman said it would be some type of valve; service rep on phone very helpful,I ordered the correct part,except for having to lay on the floor, he repaired it easily; part came within 24 hours. Worked immediately. No additional tubes or parts needed.
