Kenmore Dishwasher 665.15914001 (66515914001, 665 15914001) Parts

This overfill float and shaft assembly monitors the dishwasher's water level. As the tub fills, the float rises and triggers the float switch to shut off the inlet water, helping prevent overfilling and leaks.

• Senses tub water level and moves up/down with the water
• Activates the float switch to stop filling at the correct level
• Helps protect against overfill-related leaks
• Common symptoms include: won't fill (float stuck up), continuous filling/overfilling (float stuck down or damaged), or float not moving freely

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Lift the old float straight up from inside the tub; access the underside (behind the toe panel) as needed to release the shaft from the float switch lever
• Install the new shaft through the guide and onto the switch lever; seat the float so it moves freely
• Verify smooth float movement and test a fill cycle while checking for leaks

• Rotates under water pressure for even spray coverage
• Helps clear food soils and detergent residue from dishes and glasses
• Common symptoms: poor cleaning on the upper rack, spray arm not spinning, clogged or cracked arm

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Open the dishwasher; remove the upper rack if needed for access
• Release or unthread the retainer and pull the old arm straight off; clear debris from the hub/feed port
• Seat the new arm and secure the retainer hand-tight; ensure the arm spins freely and run a test cycle

This foam pad installs between the inner and outer door panels of a dishwasher to dampen sound and help shield the outer panel from heat and moisture, keeping operation quieter and the door better protected. What it does:

• Lines the inside of the outer door panel to reduce operating noise and vibration
• Acts as a thermal and moisture barrier for the outer door panel
• Helps maintain proper door performance when the original insulation is worn or missing
• Replace if torn, degraded, or waterlogged, or if noise/condensation around the door has increased

• 1 door insulation pad

• Disconnect power and shut off water to the dishwasher before servicing
• Support the door; remove perimeter screws to separate the inner and outer door panels
• Note the pad's orientation; seat the new insulation evenly without pinching wires or harnesses
• Reassemble panels and fasteners; verify smooth door/latch operation

• Holds and organizes plates, bowls, and cookware during wash and rinse cycles
• Keeps items spaced and upright to promote spray coverage and drainage
• Slides in and out on the rails when the rack is straight and intact
• Common failure signs: rusting/chipping coating, broken or bent tines, cracked or warped wire frame
• Needed if dishes won't stay put or the rack binds when moving on the tracks

• Disconnect power at the breaker and turn off water before servicing interior parts
• Open the door, extend the rack, and remove rail end caps to release the rack
• Transfer any clip-on components from the old rack to the new rack as needed
• Seat the rack on the rails, reinstall end caps, and check for smooth operation

This run capacitor helps start and keep the motor running smoothly by providing the necessary phase shift and torque boost. A weak capacitor can cause hard starting, humming, or intermittent motor operation.

• Supplies continuous phase shift to maintain motor rotation
• Helps the motor start reliably under load
• Symptoms can include humming, slow or no start, or overheating shutdown
• Restores normal operation when the original capacitor has weakened

• Disconnect power before servicing; discharge the old capacitor safely
• Note wire locations and transfer leads to the new capacitor one-by-one
• Mount securely in the original bracket or location to prevent vibration
• If the motor still won't start, further diagnosis of the motor or start device may be required

Color: Almond

Also suggested to order vent gasket WP8269259.

Insulation pad that fits behind appliance panels to restore thermal protection and reduce noise. Replacing a damaged or missing pad helps protect nearby wiring and components from heat and can reduce vibration-related rattling. What it does:

• Provides thermal insulation to help limit heat transfer to adjacent panels and components.
• Dampens vibration and reduces rattling or buzzing caused by loose or worn insulation.
• Protects wires, connectors and plastic parts from excess heat when installed correctly.
• Common symptom: missing, torn, or deteriorated pad with increased exterior heat or noise.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Remove access panels as needed; position the pad flat against the cabinet surface or mounting area.
• Use original clips/adhesive or manufacturer-recommended fasteners to secure the pad; avoid covering vents or controls.

• Provides adjustable support at one corner of the appliance
• Helps level the unit for correct alignment with floor or cabinetry
• Reduces rocking, vibration, and rattling noises
• Replaces stripped, bent, cracked, or missing leg

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Carefully support or brace the appliance to access the base safely
• Start the new leg by hand to avoid cross-threading; adjust height gradually
• Use a level to check side-to-side and front-to-back, then recheck after positioning
