Kenmore dishwasher model families
Kenmore dishwashers read by OEM builder — the deepest category in the lineup. Whirlpool-built 665-series models include 665.16838792, 665.15632000, 665.17829000, 665.13213K901, and the premium 665.13123K701 and 665.13966K010 (Kenmore Elite). Frigidaire-built 587-series models include 587.14538401, 587.14439200, 587.14432200, and 587.14002990.
What the builder means for service
Whirlpool-built 665-series units use Whirlpool’s own wash-motor and control architecture, while Frigidaire-built 587-series units use Frigidaire’s own pump and control system with the “i”-code display. Identifying the builder tells a technician which inlet valve, wash pump, control board, or float switch a repair involves, and which parts catalog to source from.
Reading the model and servicing it
The rating plate is on the inner tub edge, visible along the door opening; record the full model string before booking. Our experienced, independent technicians service every Kenmore dishwasher with genuine OEM parts matched to the actual builder. If yours shows a code, start with the dishwasher error codes page, then book dishwasher repair — repairs start from $89, or from $129 depending on the part, with the final cost depending on parts and configuration. Our labor is guaranteed.
