Most Common Failures on This Model

The parts above group into a handful of failure areas. Here is what each points to and how to check it before you order anything.

Storage, trim and cosmetic hardware

Symptom: A cracked shelf, broken door bin, worn hinge, or missing trim piece -- cosmetic and storage wear rather than a functional breakdown.

Check: Match the physical dimensions and mounting tabs of the old part before ordering; these pieces are often model-specific even between visually similar models.

General hardware and mounting parts

Symptom: A small mechanical or mounting part has failed, cracked, or gone missing.

Check: Compare the physical shape and mounting points to the original piece, and confirm the exact part number against your model plate before ordering.

Parts in this group on the 66512769K312: 8194001 (Door Balance Link Kit), W10789434 (CLAMP), W10864081 (Seal), W10894668 (Dishwasher Pump Motor), WPW10077840 (Positioner), WPW10195007 (Seal), WPW10195840 (Dishwasher Positioner), WPW10292152 (Hardware Kit), WPW10304409 (Dispenser).

Heat control (thermostats, fuses, heating element)

Symptom: Dishes don't dry at the end of the cycle, or a heated-dry setting doesn't seem to do anything.

Check: With the dishwasher unplugged, check continuity across the heating element or thermostat with a multimeter -- no continuity means it has failed.

Parts in this group on the 66512769K312: W10703867 (Dishwasher Heating Element), WPW10195091 (Dishwasher Thermostat).

Dishrack hardware (rollers, wheels and tines)

Symptom: A dish rack that binds, drags, or comes off its rail track when you pull it in or out, or a rack with a cracked, loose, or missing wheel or tine.

Check: Pull the rack fully out and check each wheel or roller for a crack or a missing axle pin, and check that tines aren't snapped off or pushed out of alignment along the row.

Parts in this group on the 66512769K312: W10727422 (Upper Dishrack), W10727426 (Tine Row - Kit of 2), W10728159 (Lower Dishrack), W10728160 (Tine Row), WP3385088 (Upper Rack Roller), WPW10078083 (Tub Wheel), WPW10082853 (Dishwasher Tine Pivot), WPW10107150 (Dishwasher Tine Retainer), WPW10190778 (Dishwasher Transport Wheel), WPW10195839 (Dishwasher Dishrack Adjuster), WPW10250160 (Adjuster Arm Clip).

Filtration and spray system

Symptom: Dishes come out with food residue, spots, or a cloudy film, or you notice leftover debris in the tub bottom after a cycle.

Check: Remove and rinse the filter assembly under the tub, and check that the spray arm spins freely and its jets aren't clogged -- these are the first things to check before assuming a pump has failed.

Parts in this group on the 66512769K312: W10859935 (Lower Spray Arm).

Controls, timers and wiring

Symptom: A cycle that stops partway through, an error code or blinking light, or the unit not starting at all.

Check: Look for burn marks or a burnt smell near the board or terminals, and check whether buttons and knobs respond -- a unit that powers on but won't cycle often traces back to this group.

Parts in this group on the 66512769K312: W10866118 (Dishwasher Electronic Control Board), W10911101 (Wire Harness), WPW10195036 (Float).

Door and drum seals

Symptom: Water leaking out from around the door during or after a cycle.

Check: Check the door gasket for tears, flattening, or a section pulled loose from its channel, and confirm it seats evenly all the way around when the door is closed.

Parts in this group on the 66512769K312: WP9743002 (Dishwasher Upper Wheel Gasket).

Water inlet and drainage

Symptom: The dishwasher won't fill, or dishes come out with standing water still in the tub bottom after the cycle ends.

Check: Check the inlet valve's screen filter for sediment, and check the drain pump and drain hose for a clog or a jammed object -- a piece of broken glass or a bottle cap is a common culprit.

Parts in this group on the 66512769K312: WPW10195536 (Dishwasher Water Inlet).

How to Confirm This Is Your Model

On most Whirlpool dishwashers, the model and serial plate is on the frame of the tub, visible along the top or side edge as soon as the door is fully open. Some models place it on the edge of the door itself, or behind the lower toe-kick panel at the base of the unit.

Whirlpool model numbers are not random strings: they typically open with a letter prefix that identifies the appliance platform or series, followed by a run of digits that encode capacity, features, or generation, and close with a letter-and-digit combination that usually maps to color and a production revision. That closing piece matters more than it looks -- two model numbers that differ only in the last character (for example ending in 0 versus 1) can belong to different production runs with different part revisions, even though the rest of the number, and the appliance's outward appearance, are identical. That is why part fitment has to be checked against the complete model number, not an abbreviated version of it.

Before ordering anything for the 66512769K312, match the complete string on your plate -- letters, digits and all -- against 66512769K312, rather than relying on memory or a partial number.

What to Have Ready

Before you order, it helps to have the following on hand -- especially the last character or two of the model number, since a production revision only a letter or digit apart can carry a different part list even when the rest of the number, and the appliance itself, look identical.

• The full model number from the plate, copied exactly, including any letters before or after the digits.
• The serial number from the same plate, which some lookup tools ask for to narrow down a production run.
• A description, or a photo, of the part you believe has failed -- including any numbers printed or stamped on it.
• The brand name printed on the plate itself -- appliances are frequently rebadged across brands on shared platforms, so the plate's brand can differ from the name on the outside of the cabinet.

Before You Buy

Once you have matched a part number above to your repair, check that exact string against what is stamped on your dishwasher's plate and, if it is still legible, printed on the part you are replacing. RepairKitHub does not sell parts directly -- each part number above is a starting point for a search on Amazon, where you can compare listings against the number you have confirmed.
