Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is printed on the model and serial number label; on Kenmore model 58716259400, that label is located on the dishwasher (shown in the features section of the 58716259400 owner's manual). Record the full model number and serial number exactly as shown.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the dishwasher door and inspect the inner door frame area.
• Check the tub opening around the door (along the side walls near the front).
• Look along the top edge of the door and the front lip of the tub.
• If the label is dirty or faded, wipe it with a damp cloth and a drop of mild dish soap.
• Write down both the model number and serial number before ordering parts.

For this Kenmore platform, the model number is typically formatted like 587.1625_ _ (the last characters can indicate the color). Your full model number will be the complete string on the label.

What you see on the label	What it means	What to do
587.1625_ _	Model family/series	Copy every digit and letter exactly
Serial number	Unit-specific identifier	Keep it for service and warranty

Repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58716259400 is worth it when the problem is a wear item (leak at the door seal, drain hose issue, inlet valve problem) or a single failed component; it is less worthwhile when multiple major systems are failing or the repair approaches the cost of replacement.

Quick decision checklist

• Repair when the dishwasher still washes well and you have one clear symptom (leak, no drain, no fill, no heat).
• Repair when the fix is a common part replacement such as a door seal, drain hose, or water inlet valve.
• Replace when you have repeated breakdowns (multiple service calls in a year) or multiple symptoms at once.
• Replace when the tub or inner door panel is damaged; this model line is designed for long service, but structural failures are big jobs.
• Repair when you can DIY safely and follow the procedures in the 58716259400 owner’s manual.

Typical repair cost vs. value (rule of thumb)

Repair type	What it usually fixes	Typical “worth it” guidance
Seal or leak at door	Water on floor at front	Usually worth repairing
Drain problem	Standing water, slow drain	Usually worth repairing
No fill / low fill	Not enough water, poor wash	Usually worth repairing
No heat / poor drying	Cold water, wet dishes	Often worth repairing
Control or multiple failures	Random behavior, won’t run plus other issues	Often replace if costs stack up

Parts that commonly make repair worthwhile on 58716259400

These are frequent, targeted fixes that can restore normal operation without replacing the dishwasher:

• Gasket 809006501 (door seal area leaks)
• Hose 807117001 (drain hose leaks, kinks, or restrictions)
• Valve 154637401 (won’t fill, fills slowly, or overfills)
• Heater 154825001 (poor drying, water not heating)

Why it matters

A dishwasher repair is “worth it” when it restores cleaning and drying with a single, predictable fix. This Kenmore design uses a filtered wash system with alternating spray arms and a food disposer; when water flow, heating, or sealing is corrected, performance typically returns to normal.

Best next step

Use the symptom-based troubleshooting and operating guidance in the 58716259400 installation guide to confirm basics (power, water supply, drain routing, and mounting). Then choose the most likely single part to address the symptom first.

Kenmore dishwasher model 58716259400 is a standard built-in, under-counter dishwasher. For installation fit, the key sizing requirement is the cabinet opening height: the installation instructions specify at least 33-3/4 in (84.5 cm) from the underside of the countertop to the finished (or built-up) floor; see the 58716259400 installation guide.

What “size” means for a built-in dishwasher

For most kitchens, you need two sets of measurements: the cabinet opening and the dishwasher clearances.

• Opening height (countertop underside to finished floor)
• Opening width (inside cabinet-to-cabinet)
• Opening depth (back wall to cabinet face frame)
• Door swing clearance (space in front so the door opens fully)
• Hookup clearance (room for water line, drain hose, and power)

Model-specific fit requirement we use for 58716259400

The installation instructions call out the minimum opening height and leveling procedure.

Measurement / check	Spec or target	Why you check it
Minimum opening height	33-3/4 in (84.5 cm)	Confirms the dishwasher fits without modifying countertop or flooring
Leveling, side-to-side	Level across tub top	Helps the door seal evenly and prevents leaks
Leveling, front-to-back	Level on opened door edge	Helps proper draining and consistent wash performance

Why it matters

Correct opening size and leveling prevents cabinet interference, improves door sealing, and reduces the chance of water leaks during a wash cycle.

Helpful next steps

• Verify the opening height first; built-up floors can reduce usable height
• Level the dishwasher front-to-back and side-to-side before securing it
• If you see drips at the bottom of the door after leveling, inspect the lower door seal; the gasket 809006501 is the lower door seal used on this model
