How do I know what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label, typically on the right side of the tub when you open the door. For this page, the model is 58715233900; match your label to confirm you are ordering the correct parts.
Where to look for the model label
Check these common spots first (in order):
- Right side wall of the dishwasher tub (door open)
- Inner door frame around the opening
- Top edge of the door
- Along the tub opening near the latch area
- Lower edge of the door (inside)
If the label is dirty or faded, wipe it with a damp cloth and read it under a bright light.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58715233900 is usually worth it when the problem is a wear item (seal, hose, valve) or a maintenance issue, and the repair cost stays well below the price of a replacement. For major motor or pump failures on an older unit, replacement often makes more sense.
Quick decision checklist
- If the dishwasher is under 10 years old, repairs are typically the better value.
- If the repair estimate is under 50% of replacement cost, repair is usually the smart choice.
- If you have leaks at the door or bottom, a seal or gasket repair is commonly cost-effective.
- If it won’t fill or fills slowly, the inlet valve or water supply issue is often repairable.
- If it won’t drain, a drain hose clog or routing issue is often an easy fix.
- If it doesn’t dry, the heat-dry setting, loading, or heating circuit may be the cause.
Common repairs that are usually worth it (58715233900)
These are frequent, fixable problems on this Kenmore platform:
| Symptom | Likely area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking at the bottom of the door | Door seal | Dishwasher door seal 809006501 |
| Not filling or weak fill | Water inlet | Dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401 |
| Not draining or draining slowly | Drain path | Drain hose 807117001 |
| Poor drying or no heat | Heating circuit | Dishwasher heating element 154665201 |
When replacement is the better call
Replacement is usually the better value when:
- The dishwasher has multiple major failures (for example, heat plus wash performance plus leaks).
- You need a high-cost drive system repair (motor and pump assembly) and the unit is older.
- The tub or door structure is damaged and won’t seal reliably.
Why it matters
This dishwasher is designed for years of dependable operation, and many “big” symptoms are caused by correctable issues like loading, water temperature, or water pressure. The manual also notes typical performance requirements such as 120°F incoming water and 20 to 120 psi water pressure, which can prevent unnecessary part replacement. Use the 58715233900 owner’s manual to match symptoms to the right checks before buying parts.
