Kenmore Dishwasher 665.16002401 (66516002401, 665 16002401) Parts

The Thermostat Clip is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It plays an important supporting role by securely fastening the thermostat sensor inside the wash chamber. 

Symptoms of a faulty Thermostat Clip can include:

• Fluctuating or inconsistent water temperatures between cycles 
• Inability to properly detect temperature for desired heat levels
• Longer cycle times needed for reaching required temperatures
• Strange sounds or condensation around thermostat connection

Causes could arise from typical wear and tear stresses weakening plastic retaining clips. Exposure to harsh detergents may also erode clip material integrity over time.

This OEM replacement part is compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, and select Hotpoint and Roper dishwasher models as well. 

Notes: Only one screw hole is used now.

This door catch and strike work together to keep the door securely closed and engage the safety interlock switch. Replacing worn pieces restores a firm latch and reliable operation when the door is properly shut.

• Aligns and engages the latch so the door stays closed during operation
• Activates the door switch so cycles can start
• Helps prevent the door from popping open mid-cycle
• Common symptoms: door won't latch without force, unit won't start, visible wear or a bent strike

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Open the door and remove mounting fasteners to swap the catch and strike
• Adjust strike alignment/depth so the latch engages fully and the door sits flush
• Restore power and test for smooth closing and proper cycle start

• Helps eliminate steady drips or pooling of water near the seal area
• Restores proper sealing after disassembly for service or part replacement

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove surrounding components carefully to avoid damaging the seal seat
• Inspect the mating surfaces for debris or damage; clean before installing new O-ring
• Lubricate with a compatible, appliance-safe lubricant; do not use petroleum-based products unless specified
