Kenmore Dishwasher 665.16052400 (66516052400, 665 16052400) Parts

Overfill control.

This factory-specified screw secures panels, brackets, and internal components in your appliance. Replacing worn or missing hardware restores a tight fit to help reduce vibration, noise, and premature wear.

• Fastens sheet metal, brackets, or plastic parts as designed by the manufacturer
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration/rattling
• Direct replacement for stripped, corroded, or missing screws
• Common signs: loose panels or trim, shifting components, screw won't tighten

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supply if applicable
• Use the correct driver to avoid stripping the head
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Replace one-for-one in the original location per service information

This inlet protector is the coarse screen that covers the dishwasher's pump/sump inlet, blocking large debris from entering the wash system. Replacing a damaged or missing protector helps maintain water flow and protect the pump from jams or wear.

• Screens large food particles and debris from the pump/chopper inlet
• Helps maintain proper water circulation and consistent cleaning performance
• Reduces risk of pump damage or noisy operation from debris
• Common signs: cracked or missing screen, persistent debris in the sump, grinding/rumbling noises, or declining wash results

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack and spray arm; access the sump/accumulator area per your model
• Lift out the old protector; seat the new protector fully and secure any tabs/fasteners
• Reassemble and ensure the screen sits flat with no gaps

This heater terminal nut fastens the heating element's electrical connector to its stud, keeping the connection tight under heat and vibration. Replacing a worn or missing nut restores safe contact and consistent heating performance.

• Secures the wire/ring terminal to the heater stud for a solid electrical connection
• Helps prevent arcing, discoloration, and heat damage from a loose connection
• Signs include a loose terminal, burnt odor, or melted/charred insulation at the heater connection

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance and element to cool completely before service
• Photograph wiring for reference; remove old hardware and clean the terminal
• Inspect the ring terminal, insulators, and stud; replace any heat-damaged components
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; snug with the correct nut driver—do not overtighten

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

Bottle with brush. Color: Black. Size: 0.6 fl.oz.

This hanger anchors the dishwasher's door-balance spring to the frame so the door opens and closes smoothly. Replacing a worn or broken hanger restores proper spring tension and helps prevent a door that drops, slams, or feels heavy.

• Secures the door balance spring to the dishwasher cabinet/frame
• Maintains correct spring tension for smooth, controlled door movement
• Helps fix a door that falls open quickly or won't stay in position
• Useful to replace when door balance hardware shows wear or damage

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing; remove the toe panel/kickplate
• Support the door and carefully relieve spring tension before removing parts
• Slide the dishwasher out if needed for side access; transfer the spring to the new hanger and reinstall
• Inspect the opposite-side spring/link and hinge for wear; verify door balance before reassembly

Color: light gray. Measures about 3 inches high by 6 inches deep.

This adjustable manifold connects the upper rack to the dishwasher's rear water feed. It channels wash water to the upper spray arm and maintains a sealed connection as the rack height changes for consistent cleaning performance. What it does:

• Routes water from the rear feed tube to the upper/middle spray arm
• Self-adjusts with rack position to keep a secure, leak-resistant connection
• Replace if cracked, deformed, or the coupling no longer seals
• Common symptoms include poor cleaning on the upper rack, weak spray, upper spray arm not turning, or a small leak at the back of the tub

• 1 adjustable manifold

• Disconnect power and shut off water; wear gloves for protection
• Remove the upper rack by releasing the rail end caps and sliding the rack out
• Unclip the manifold from the rack and disengage it from the rear feed port; seat the new manifold fully
• Reinstall the rack and ensure the spray arm spins freely

This lite item clip attaches to the dishwasher rack to secure lightweight cups, lids, and small containers during the wash. It helps prevent shifting and flipping so items stay upright, clean effectively, and avoid damage from spray action.

• Clips onto rack wires/tines to stabilize light items
• Helps keep small cups and lids upright for better cleaning and drying
• Replace if the clip is cracked, loose, or missing
• Common symptoms: items tipping over, rattling, or not staying in place during a cycle

• Open the dishwasher and pull the rack forward for access
• Align the clip with a rack wire/tine and press to snap it in place
• Position to support items; the rack slides freely and spray arms clear the clip
• Disconnect power before servicing if you need to reach past the racks or remove components

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
