How do I tell what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is on the model and serial number label, typically located inside the door opening on the inner door frame or tub edge. For this series, the manual shows the model number format as 587. followed by additional digits (example: 58716169400). See the 58716169400 owner's manual for the exact label location diagram.
Where to look first (fastest checks)
- Open the door and inspect the top and sides of the inner door frame.
- Check the tub rim around the door opening.
- Look along the inside edge of the door near the latch area.
- If the label is worn, use a flashlight and view from an angle to read faint printing.
If you still cannot find the label
Sometimes the label is obscured by residue or positioned where it is easy to miss.
- Wipe the door frame and tub rim with a damp cloth and mild cleaner.
- Check the lower edge of the door opening (near the bottom seal area).
- Look for a metal plate or white sticker that lists both model and serial.
- Use your paperwork: the model number is often recorded in the 58716169400 owner's manual “record your model and serial number” section.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
For a Kenmore dishwasher model 58716169400, repairing is worth it when the problem is a leak, drain issue, or door sealing problem and the repair cost stays well below the price of a replacement. If you’re facing repeated major failures (motor, pump, or control issues), replacement is the better value.
Quick decision checklist
- If the dishwasher is under 10 years old, repairs usually make sense.
- If the repair is a single, clear failure (leak, won’t drain, won’t fill), repair is usually the best move.
- If you see water on the floor, start with door seals, hoses, and inlet components.
- If it won’t drain, check for a clog first; then consider the drain pump.
- If it fills slowly or not at all, the inlet valve is a common fix.
- If you’ve had multiple expensive repairs in the last 12 months, replacement is typically smarter.
Common repairs that are usually worth it on this model
Many “not cleaning” or “not draining” complaints trace back to water supply, loading, or a single failed part. The 58716169400 manual also points to basics like proper loading, incoming water temperature, and adequate home water pressure (typically 20 to 120 psi) as key performance factors; those checks can prevent unnecessary part replacement. Use the 58716169400 owner’s manual to match symptoms to the right troubleshooting steps.
| Symptom | Most likely area | Typical outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Leaks at the bottom of the door | Door seal | Low-to-moderate cost repair |
| Won’t drain or leaves water | Drain path or drain pump | Often repairable |
| Won’t fill or fills slowly | Water inlet valve | Often repairable |
| Poor cleaning | Loading, spray path, water temp | Often no parts needed |
Parts that commonly solve “repair vs replace” problems
If your issue matches one of these, repair is usually cost-effective:
- Door leak: gasket 809006501 (door seal, lower)
- Drain problems: hose 807117001 (drain hose) or dishwasher drain pump A00126501
- No fill/slow fill: valve 154637401 (water inlet valve)
Why it matters
A dishwasher that is mechanically sound but suffering from a leak, fill, or drain problem is typically a straightforward repair. Using the correct troubleshooting steps and the right Kenmore parts helps restore cleaning performance and prevents repeat failures.

What size is a Kenmore dishwasher model 58716169400?
Kenmore dishwasher model 58716169400 is a standard built-in dishwasher size: it fits a 24-inch-wide cabinet opening and is designed for a typical under-counter installation. For exact fit, we use the cutout and leveling measurements in the 58716169400 installation guide.
Key fit measurements to check
Measure your opening before ordering parts or scheduling installation:
- Width: Most built-in Kenmore dishwashers fit a 24-inch opening
- Minimum opening height: 33-3/4 inches (84.5 cm) (from underside of countertop to floor)
- Depth: Plan for a typical built-in depth range of about 24 to 26 inches, plus room for hoses and wiring
- Leveling: The unit must be level side-to-side and front-to-back for proper door sealing and draining
What the installation guide tells you (model-relevant)
The installation instructions for this Kenmore platform specify that if your opening height is at least 33-3/4 inches (84.5 cm), the dishwasher fits without modifying the countertop or flooring; leveling legs are adjusted to match the opening.
Quick checklist
- Confirm the countertop-to-floor opening height is 33-3/4 inches or more
- Verify the cabinet opening is 24 inches wide (standard built-in)
- Allow clearance behind the unit so the drain hose and wiring are not pinched
- Level the dishwasher to help prevent leaks at the door
Common size scenarios (what you are measuring)
| Scenario | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Opening height is 33-3/4 inches or more | Standard fit | Level the legs to match the opening |
| Opening height is tight | May require leg adjustment and careful positioning | Follow the leveling steps in the install instructions |
| Depth is limited | Hoses and wiring can bind | Leave extra space behind the unit |
Why it matters
Correct sizing and leveling helps the door close evenly, supports proper draining, and reduces the chance of water escaping past the lower door seal. If you are chasing a small leak at the bottom edge of the door, the gasket 809006501 is a common wear item to inspect after confirming the dishwasher is level.
