Philly March 26, 2021 for Model Number WDF530PLYM2 My dishwasher leaks from the bottom left corner. I already put in a new tub gasket and a new air vent gasket. When I had the door panel off, I noticed the leak is definitely coming from the door vent, but the new gasket didn't help. Any suggestions? Thank you.
1 Answer Philly, Check and make sure the dishwasher is level in both directions and properly secured to the counter. remove the lower rack and lift the float several times, and listen for the switch to "click" and the float to move freely. If all's OK, remove the lower spray arm and check for debris in the openings and split or cracked seams along the edges. Start the dishwasher, let it fill, and wash for 3 to 5 minutes unlatch and open the door and check the water level in the bottom of the tub, the water should be 1/2" to 3/4" deep. Read More...
Philly March 08, 2021 for Model Number WDF530PLYM2 My dishwasher leaks a small amount from the bottom left corner. I replaced the door gasket but the problem remains. I have noticed that the water that is dripping is cold to the touch even though the water inside the dishwasher is hot. Don't know if that helps determine the problem, but I thought that was odd and should mention it. Thank you.
1 Answer Philly, as the water is cold and the water in the dishwasher is hot, it would be recommended that the water inlet valve W11175771 is inspected to identify if it may have a slight leak. Read More...

Susan January 26, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore Dishwasher 665.13283K113 I need to replace the "strike" only for this model. Most sites offered the door gasket and strike kit for a large price. I only need the strike for the Kenmore Dishwasher 665.13283K113 purchased in Jan 2012. Can you direct me to that part number only so that I may order it? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Susan, I'm sorry but the kit W10542314 appears to be the only way to obtain the strike. This has been set up this way by the manufacturer. Read More...
Oleg May 04, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 665.13783K603 dishwasher What do I need to do to properly close the door. And what do I need to do to properly open the door. I bought from you latch W10077985 and replaced it. There is nothing wrong with the strike. And the door is not always closed.
1 Answer Oleg, You will want to check to make sure that the door strike and the door latch are lining up properly in order to latch. Also check to make sure that the strike has not shifted back which would also cause the issue of not latching. If the door is not lining up then it may be an issue of a warped hinge or the unit not being level. Read More...
Dan March 17, 2014 for Model Number KUDS01FLSS6 8269426 Latch Strike...Since our warranty is up I have to do the repairs now...I watched the repair guy install this latch and he would bend it one way then another to get the door from popping open...Wife says its popping open when she uses the Baked On Cookware and High Temp Scrub...but when she uses the normal cycle the door stays closed... Suggestions on how to replace it with anything else I can check would be appreciated... Thanks
1 Answer Hello Dan, I doubt the issue is electrical since the door doesn't lock, but latches, (a mechanical action). If the tech had to bend and twist the door, the issue is most likely a misalignment due to the door hinges, right hinge W11612303 left hinge W11612302, being malformed or the unit is not secure or in a bind under the countertop/cabinets. Since the door strike will affect the operation of both door switches, this will affect unit operation. It can even cause the door to try to "spring" open since the door panel isn't striking squarely on the door seal area. Since the latch strike has been manipulated, it may need to be replaced also.

Scott July 28, 2013 for Model Number KUDP01FLWH5 I replaced the door latch and the striker, The door still pops open. Could the gasket be bad? It looks kind of swollen and wavy, the dishwasher is only 7 years old.
1 Answer Hello Scoot. The unit may not be level. It could be the seal W10864081 or the gasket causing it as well. Usually the level of the unit is the issue. Read More...
1 Answer Hello. You will need to uninstall the dishwasher to install this part. It is located on the top of the dishwasher, on the frame. Hope this helps. Read More...
