Kenmore Dishwasher 665.13962K013 (66513962K013, 665 13962K013) Parts

The Dishwasher Door Seal is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It provides a tight seal around the dishwasher door to prevent water, sound, and heat from escaping during the wash cycle. Measuring 71” in length (and stretching up to 75”), this door seal prevents water from leaking out during wash cycles.

Causes of a bad seal can include cracks, tears, or splits that develop due to regular use and age. Damage may also occur from over-tightening of the door or accidental impact.

Symptoms of a bad dishwasher door seal include:

• Water or moist air leaks around the door during a cycle  
• Higher energy bills due to hot air escaping
• Excess moisture or mineral deposits around the door seal area
• Food particles or debris trapped under a torn seal

This genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement seal is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This electronic control board is the dishwasher's main "brain," coordinating the fill, wash, drain, and dry sequences. Replacing a failed board can restore normal operation when the dishwasher is unresponsive, won't start cycles, or behaves erratically.

• Directs power and timing to valves, pumps, and heater for each cycle step
• Monitors inputs from sensors and the door latch to advance or pause the cycle
• Communicates with the user interface for button inputs and status lights
• Typical failure symptoms: no power to controls or won't start; stops mid-cycle or won't advance; blinking lights or error codes; intermittent operation

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; verify no power at the dishwasher
• Access location varies by model; commonly behind the lower toe panel in a protective control housing
• Handle the board by the edges and use ESD protection; move wire connectors one at a time to the new board and secure the housing
• After installation, run the built-in diagnostics per the tech sheet; some models may require control configuration

This fine screen is the small mesh filter that sits in the dishwasher sump to catch food particles and help protect the pump and wash system. It keeps debris from circulating so dishes rinse more effectively. What it does:

• Helps maintain even spray pressure for effective cleaning
• Worn or broken diverter can cause poor cleaning, reduced water to a spray arm, or unusual pump noise
• Prevents bypass flow that can reduce wash performance

• One disk valve diverter as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance and shut off the water supply before starting
• Access may require removing the tub access panel or disassembling spray arm/tub components

• Keeps loose items from falling into the wash area or blocking the spray arms
• Helps prevent rattling and movement of cutlery during the cycle

A small spring-style hose clamp that secures flexible hoses to fittings, helping prevent leaks and keep connections tight. Ideal for replacing corroded, stretched, or damaged clamps on compatible Whirlpool appliances. What it does

• Compresses around a hose to hold it firmly on a barb, spud, or outlet fitting
• Restores a secure seal to reduce leaking at hose connections
• Commonly used on drain, fill, and water supply hoses where spring clamps are specified
• Helps maintain proper appliance operation by preventing hose slippage

• Disconnect power and water before servicing the appliance
• Use pliers to expand the clamp for removal and to seat it during installation; ensure clamp sits evenly over the hose bead
