Kenmore 665 dishwasher error codes
Kenmore's 665 series dishwashers show codes for water inlet, drain, heating, door and control faults. The 665 prefix is the start of the model number on the data plate, and this page applies to dishwashers whose number begins that way. The codes tell you which part of the cycle has stopped, so write down the code and when in the cycle it appeared.
For an inlet code, check that the supply valve under the sink is open and that the inlet screen is clean. For a drain code, clean the filter, check the drain hose for a kink and run the disposer if the dishwasher drains through it. For a door code, check that the latch closes and nothing blocks the door. A heating code needs a technician. Switch off at the breaker for a minute to clear a one-off glitch.
The label is on the side of the door or the tub. Kenmore parts are sold through Sears PartsDirect, and the full model number finds the right part. Use fresh detergent and rinse aid and clean the filter regularly.
Kenmore 665 dishwashers are built by another manufacturer for Kenmore, so parts and service are often sold under the maker's number as well as Kenmore's. The model number on the data plate begins with 665 and continues with letters and digits that identify the build. When you search for a part, use the whole number. A door latch, a float switch or a drain pump is a common replacement, and a technician can fit it quickly if you have the number.
What does the 665 in the model number mean?
It is the first part of the Kenmore model number for this dishwasher series.

The filter, the hose and the disposer connection.
Why are there two part numbers?
The maker and Kenmore may each list the part.
