Compatible Parts for This Model

We have not finished matching a verified parts list to the 66512782K312 yet. Use the model lookup tool to search the full catalog directly by your model or part number, or start from the symptom your dishwasher is showing.

How Whirlpool Model Numbers Are Structured

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.

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.

Before ordering anything for the 66512782K312, match the complete string on your plate -- letters, digits and all -- against 66512782K312, rather than relying on memory or a partial number.

What to Have Ready Before You Search for a Part

  • 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.

Common Failure Areas for Whirlpool Dishwashers

These are the areas that most often need attention on a Whirlpool dishwasher, in general -- not a claim about the 66512782K312 specifically, since we do not yet have a matched parts list for it.

  • Door latch or door switch -- won't start, or stops mid-cycle unless the door is fully latched.
  • Water inlet valve -- won't fill, or fills slowly.
  • Drain pump or drain hose -- won't drain, or leaves standing water in the tub bottom.
  • Spray arm or filter assembly -- dishes come out with food residue or a cloudy film.
  • Heating element or thermostat -- dishes don't dry, or a heated-dry cycle doesn't seem to run.

Before You Buy

Once you have found a candidate part number through the model lookup tool or a symptom guide, 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 -- a confirmed part number is what you search for on Amazon.
