Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher model 58714419400 is usually worth it when the problem is a single failed part (like a door latch or dispenser) and the tub and racks are still in good shape; it typically costs less than replacement and avoids a full reinstall. Use the 58714419400 owner's manual to match symptoms to likely causes before buying parts.
Quick way to decide
We use these practical checkpoints to decide repair vs. replace:
- One clear failure (won’t start, won’t latch, leaks at the door) and the rest of the machine runs normally
- No tub damage (cracks, severe rust-through) and the door seals evenly
- No repeat breakdown pattern (same issue returning every few months)
- Parts are available for your exact model and you can access them safely
- You like the current fit and finish (no cabinet changes, no new mounting/trim work)
Common repairs that are often worth it
Many “dead” or “won’t run” complaints come down to door closure and dispensing issues.
| Symptom | What to check first | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Dishwasher won’t start | Door not fully latched | Dishwasher door latch 5304535183 |
| Soap not dispensing | Dispenser door stuck or failed | Dishwasher detergent dispenser assembly 5304460911 |
| Water on floor near door | Door not sealing evenly, gasket worn | Dishwasher tub gasket 5304512895 |
When replacement makes more sense
Replacement is the better value when the dishwasher has multiple major issues at once.
- Cracked tub or chronic leaks not related to the door seal
- Repeated electrical/control problems (intermittent power, multiple cycle failures)
- Major component failures plus other wear items (racks, spray arms, seals)
- Poor cleaning performance even after cleaning filters, spray arms, and using correct detergent
Why it matters
A targeted repair keeps your 58714419400 running without the cost and hassle of removing the dishwasher, reconnecting water and drain lines, and re-leveling. The manual also notes that reviewing common problems and solutions can save time and expense before scheduling service.

What size is a Kenmore dishwasher 58714419400?
The Kenmore dishwasher model 58714419400 is a standard built-in dishwasher size category; plan on a 24-inch cabinet opening with typical undercounter height and depth clearances. For the exact overall dimensions and cutout requirements for your unit, use the 58714419400 owner's manual.
Typical size you should plan around
Most Kenmore built-in dishwashers of this type fit the standard kitchen opening:
- Opening width: 24 inches (standard built-in)
- Opening height: 34 to 35 inches (adjustable with leveling legs)
- Opening depth: about 24 inches to the cabinet frame (plus door thickness)
- Toe-kick clearance: allow space for the kickplate and airflow
- Door swing: confirm the door clears adjacent handles and islands
| What you are sizing | Typical target | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet opening width | 24 in. | Ensures the tub and frame slide in without binding |
| Undercounter height | 34 to 35 in. | Prevents rubbing, helps proper leveling |
| Cabinet depth | ~24 in. | Avoids kinks in the drain hose and water line |
How we recommend measuring before you buy parts or replace the unit
Measure the opening and the dishwasher, then compare.
- Measure width between cabinets at the front and back
- Measure height from finished floor to underside of countertop
- Measure depth from back wall to cabinet frame, note any pipes or wiring
- Check the leveling leg range so the door aligns and seals correctly
- Verify the water line, drain hose, and power do not reduce usable depth
Why it matters
Correct sizing keeps the dishwasher square in the opening, which helps the door latch and tub gasket seal properly. If the door does not close cleanly, parts such as the dishwasher door latch 5304535183 can be stressed and leak or fail sooner.

How do I find the model number on my 58714419400?
Your Kenmore dishwasher’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label. On model 58714419400, that label is located on the dishwasher as shown in the Dishwasher Features section of the owner's manual.
Where to look on the dishwasher
We use the model and serial number label to identify the exact version of your dishwasher for parts, diagrams, and troubleshooting.
- Open the dishwasher door fully.
- Look around the door opening for a label (commonly on the door frame or along the inner edge of the tub opening).
- Check the left and right sides of the frame, then the top edge.
- If you do not see it immediately, use a flashlight and look for a silver or white sticker/plate.
What to write down
Record the information exactly as it appears so we can match the correct Kenmore parts and service information.
| Item | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the dishwasher design | 587.1440_ _ or 587.1441_ _ |
| Serial number | Identifies your specific unit | Letters and numbers |
| Purchase date | Helpful for your records | Month/day/year |
Why it matters
Kenmore model numbers can look similar, but small differences (like a color number or revision) can change which control panel, door latch, or tub gasket fits. Using the full model number from the label helps ensure the right match the first time.
