Kenmore Dishwashers
Kenmore dishwashers live under a counter: a tub, a door gasket, and a drain path that either empties or does not. Ownership is load habits, detergent, and whether a user filter actually exists on your sticker — not a generic “dishwasher part.”

About this appliance
Appliance overview
Two Kenmore dishwashers can look identical from the kick plate and still hide the filter and drain connection in different places. The door or tub sticker is the ownership document. The display code is only a stored event until that sticker’s booklet interprets it.
This page is not dishwasher repair. Repair is the visit for standing water, leaks, and codes that return. Here: under-counter versus portable, whether heated dry exists on your machine (check the booklet — this site will not invent it), and whether you pre-rinse.
Upright mugs hold rinse water even when drying works. A filter that has not been rinsed in a year can look like a dead pump — only if your booklet actually shows a user filter.
Common symptoms
Film on glasses with a dry-looking sump
Leaks at the door or under the cabinet
A code that returns after a restart
Dishes wet on every program
Door will not start the cycle
Safety first

Do not tip the cabinet to drain it. Do not reach into the pump well. Stop extra cycles if water is near the outlet.
