Kenmore Dishwasher Repair – Canton, OH (665.14562N611)

A Kenmore dishwasher in Canton was leaking, and the customer had been told by another company that parts were unavailable. After two service visits, we located the source and replaced the failed lower spray arm, restoring proper operation.

The Problem

The customer reported their dishwasher was leaking. Mr Appliance had previously told them that replacement parts were unavailable for this model.

Diagnosis

On our first visit, we were unable to find the leak source. We advised the customer to run their normal cycle and call us back when leaking occurred. We also noticed the sink drain backs up when draining and advised them to fix this drainage issue. During the second visit, we identified the lower spray arm as the leak source.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W10849471 — lower spray arm
• Work performed: Replaced lower spray arm
• Result: Customer advised that it’s operating well

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore dishwashers from this era are generally worth repairing when parts are available, contrary to what this customer was told elsewhere. The spray arm replacement resolved the leak effectively, and these units typically provide years of additional service after proper repairs.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dishwashers

• Check spray arms monthly for clogs or cracks that could cause leaking or poor cleaning
• Clean the dishwasher filter regularly to prevent drainage backup issues
• Ensure your kitchen sink drains properly to avoid water backing up during the dishwasher drain cycle
