Kenmore Dishwasher 665.16059400 (66516059400, 665 16059400) Parts

The Dishwasher Food Chopper is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It's designed to break down food particles that are washed off dishes during the cleaning cycle. This prevents large debris from clogging the dishwasher's drain and ensures that water remains clean throughout the cycle, enhancing the machine's cleaning efficiency. 

A malfunctioning or worn-out food chopper can lead to several problems, such as poor cleaning results due to food particles being redeposited on dishes, or even clogs that can strain the dishwasher's pump and filters. 

Symptoms of a bad Dishwasher Food Chopper include:

• Dishes coming out with food particles still on them
• The dishwasher making unusual noises indicating a struggle or blockage
• Water not draining properly, suggesting a possible clog

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Circulation Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for pumping water through the spray arms to ensure thorough cleaning of dishes during the wash cycle. This motor helps maintain consistent water pressure and flow, crucial for effective dishwashing performance.

Over time, the circulation motor can fail due to factors such as motor wear, electrical issues, or blockages that cause the motor to overheat or become damaged. Regular use and the buildup of debris or hard water deposits can also contribute to motor failure.

Symptoms of a bad circulation motor include:

• Poor cleaning results
• Unusual noises during the wash cycle
• Water not circulating properly
• Dishwasher not completing cycles

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

This replacement lever operates the overflow/level switch assembly to help the washer detect and respond to water level changes. It restores the mechanical action that tells the control when the tub is full. What it does:

• Moves the overflow/level switch mechanism so the machine can sense water level correctly
• Helps address overfilling, continuous filling, or erratic fill behavior caused by a worn or broken lever
• Restores reliable engagement between the float/actuator and the switch
• Works as the mechanical linkage for the overflow/level sensing assembly

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning service.
• Access typically requires removing the cabinet or control console; keep fasteners organized.
• Install the lever so it aligns with the switch actuator and float linkage; verify smooth movement after assembly.

This pump sump screen filters lint, debris and small objects from wash water before it reaches the drain pump, helping prevent clogs and pump damage. Replace a cracked or clogged screen to restore proper draining. What it does:

• Captures lint, coins, hair and small debris before the drain pump
• Helps prevent pump blockages that cause poor draining or standing water
• Reduces wear on the drain pump by stopping larger debris
• Improves overall drain performance when the existing screen is damaged or clogged

• Disconnect power and water before accessing the pump area
