66515821690 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

We read your help site and was able to find what was causing our water filling probelms. Order the valve intake part and made the repair and the dishwasher works like new. You saved us a repair bill from the professionals and they couldn,t done a better job. I will recommand to site to everyone. Thanks Again

Did not use the new parts. After removing the spray arm, found a screw out of place. Put the seal ring back in place and the screw back in the hole. Machine works like new.

As described with instructions, removed original "bearing," installed replacement, removed original spring, installed replacement springs. Not difficult.

Repair went exactly like the video i watched online. Perfect

So my dishwasher is 20 some years old. Woke up in the morning to smell burning plastic and the dishwasher never moving to the next part in the cycle. I thought it was the high limit, then the cycling thermostat(because cycling you'd think it was cycling wrong). Nope. It was working fine. I used a multimeter to test the high limit(ohm reading will be closed at room temp) and for the cycling(will be open at room temp, so use a multimeter with alligator clips and a lighter to trigger it to close). All of my existing parts were fine. So I went to the timer and tested with alligator clips, each part that connected during the timing cycle. Sure enough. On the rinse and pump water out part, the contact point wasnt connecting due to corrosion and a bent prong. So I rebent it and cleaned all the contact points. All you need to do on these old washers is pull out the timer and pull off the thin plastic "sheild" over the thing. Guess what. I have a working dishwasher after having done the impossible and fixed my timer. So for those who have a dish washer that won't advance, but you can hear your timer advancing with the clicks, this is your problem. Saved myself an unknown amount of money because they don't make my timer anymore.

I USED A PLUMBER

I replaced the seals per the video instructions.

Swapped out the old upper dish rack with a new one. A video made the change simple.

watched a video

I needed to cut 1/4inch off the panel and unscrew the side piece which held it in place....
insert the new piece and put back the 3 screws. Done!

the plastic pin that retains the spring has a head on one end that hits a plastic stop on the door to keep it from coming out. I used a small grinder and made a flat spot on the head diameter to make it easy to slide out. This is easier than trying to pry the door off the pin at the two retaing snaps. I was conderned these pin retainer clips were brittle and would break off.
Once the pin is slid out, it is a matter to hold the new spring holes in line with the pin. rotate pin so flat side you ground is turned up, so pin will not move out that way. Tiij about an hour

Removed plastic wing-nut. install new bushing.

Pulled out the old with needle nose pliers. Pushed in new door seal with fingers.

quick and easy,tine-row just snapped right in! Took about 15 seconds!

I grabbed the lower right end of the gasket with my Leatherman Tool pliers and pulled out the old gasket.
I installed the new gasket. No cleaning was necessary.
It took less than five minutes. It now works like new.
I ordered the part with standard delivery and it was here in just a couple of days. Very easy fix.
