Kenmore dishwashers were built for Sears by other manufacturers, so the right part depends on your full model number. Match your symptom below, then order by model.
Find your model number first. On most Kenmore dishwashers the label is on the edge of the inner door or the side of the tub, visible with the door open. Not sure? See how to find your appliance model number.
Who made your Kenmore?
The first three digits of a Kenmore model number show the maker. For example, 665 models are commonly Whirlpool-built and 587 models Frigidaire-built. Parts stores handle this for you when you search the full model number.

FAQ
Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. Because Kenmore dishwashers share designs with their makers, many parts are still sold, though some older models have discontinued parts. Search by your full model number to see what’s available.
Are Kenmore and Whirlpool dishwasher parts the same?
For Whirlpool-built Kenmore models, many parts are the same. Always confirm by model number.
