Kenmore 58716163401 dishwasher Parts

Most Kenmore 58716163401 dishwashers are standard built-in units that fit a 24-inch-wide opening, with an overall height around 34 to 35 inches and depth around 24 inches (plus the door). For the exact cutout and leveling range for your unit, use the 58716163401 owner's manual.

When you are confirming fit, we recommend measuring the cabinet opening and the dishwasher itself.

• Opening width: typically 24 inches
• Opening height: typically 34 to 35 inches (adjustable feet help fine-tune)
• Opening depth: typically 24 inches minimum
• Door clearance: allow extra space in front so the door can open fully
• Toe-kick area: make sure the lower access area is not blocked

Dishwasher “size” is really about cabinet cutout fit and leveling range. If the opening is too tight or the unit is not level, you can get door sealing issues, poor draining, and leaks at the bottom edge. If you are chasing a leak at the door, a worn lower door seal such as the gasket 809006501 is a common fix.

Use the model-specific measurements and installation notes in the 58716163401 owner's manual. Also measure your existing opening before ordering a replacement dishwasher or a door/panel part.

If you’re on the Kenmore 58716163401 dishwasher parts page, the “kind” of Kenmore dishwasher you have is model 58716163401. To confirm on the appliance itself, open the door and look for the model/serial label on the inner door frame, along the tub opening, or on the tub wall; match it exactly to 58716163401.

We most often see the model/serial tag in one of these spots:

• Inner door frame (left or right side)
• Top edge of the door opening
• Tub wall near the front opening
• Along the side of the tub opening (near the hinges)
• Sometimes on the side of the door itself

For diagrams and model-specific details, use the 58716163401 owner's manual.

Kenmore dishwashers can look similar across series, but parts like a door seal, drain hose, or water inlet valve can vary by model number. Confirming 58716163401 helps ensure the correct fit and troubleshooting steps.

If the tag is worn or covered:

• Wipe it with a damp cloth and mild dish soap; dry and re-check
• Use a flashlight at an angle to make faint printing easier to see
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in
• Compare the number on the tag to the model shown in the 58716163401 owner's manual

Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong dishwasher parts and speeds up fixes for common issues like leaks, poor draining, or door closing problems.

To hard reset a Kenmore dishwasher model 58716163401, we recommend doing a control reset first (power cycle), then clearing the keypad sequence listed in the 58716163401 owner's manual. This restores normal operation after a glitch, paused cycle, or unresponsive buttons.

• Turn the dishwasher OFF.
• Turn OFF power at the breaker (or unplug if accessible).
• Wait 3 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Close the door firmly, then start a NORMAL cycle.

Many Kenmore dishwashers use a keypad sequence to clear the control; the exact buttons vary by model and control style. Use the sequence shown in the 58716163401 owner's manual.

Also check these common causes of “won’t start” symptoms:

• Door not fully latched or strike misaligned
• Stuck overfill protector (float) preventing fill
• Drain issue leaving water in the tub
• Power interruption or tripped breaker

If the dishwasher will not start after a reset, these model-matched parts are often involved:

• Strike 154662601 (door must latch correctly)
• Switch 154773201 (float switch can stop filling)
• Valve 154637401 (water inlet valve affects filling)

A proper reset clears a temporary control fault without replacing parts. If the dishwasher still will not run, the symptom pattern (no power, no fill, no drain, door not latching) points us to the right component faster and prevents repeat shutdowns.

On the Kenmore 58716163401 dishwasher, the model number is on the model and serial label inside the tub; it’s located on the right side of the tub when you open the door. This same label also lists the serial number.

• Open the dishwasher door fully.
• Look along the inner tub wall (not the outer door panel).
• Check the right-hand side of the tub for the rating label.
• Use a flashlight if the label is hard to read.
• Write down both the model and serial numbers before ordering parts.

Having the exact model number helps us match the correct Kenmore parts and diagrams for your dishwasher, especially for common repairs like leaks, draining problems, or heating issues.

Kenmore dishwashers can look similar across multiple series, but small design changes affect fit. Using the label information prevents ordering the wrong gasket, hose, or valve.

For diagrams and additional identification details, use the 58716163401 owner's manual.

Yes. You can still get replacement parts for Kenmore dishwashers, and for Kenmore model 58716163401 many common repair parts are available, such as door seals, drain hoses, inlet valves, and heating components. Use your full model number to match the correct part.

• Confirm the full model number on the rating label (use 58716163401, not a partial).
• Compare the part name and ID to what you’re replacing (seal vs hose vs valve).
• Check symptoms first; a leak, no-drain, or no-fill problem often points to different parts.
• Use the diagrams and part lists in the 58716163401 owner’s manual to identify what’s installed.

Here are examples of parts that are commonly needed for leaks and draining issues:

Kenmore dishwashers are designed for years of dependable operation, and normal wear items (like gaskets, hoses, and valves) are expected to be replaced over time. Using the exact model number helps you avoid ordering a similar-looking part that won’t seal, fit, or connect correctly.

• Leak at door: Clean the sealing surfaces; check for tears, flattening, or gaps in the lower seal.
• No drain: Make sure the sink/disposer connection is clear and the drain hose is not kinked.
• No fill: Verify the water supply valve under the sink is fully open and the inlet screen is not clogged.

On Kenmore dishwashers, an F4-E1 service code points to a wash motor or wash pump problem (the dishwasher is not circulating water correctly). On model 58716163401, we treat this as a circulation issue first: confirm the unit is filling, then check for a restricted sump/filter area or a failing pump motor.

• Cancel the cycle, then restart and listen: you should hear filling, then a steady wash motor sound.
• Verify the tub fills to a normal level (water should cover the filter area).
• Clean the filter area and remove debris that can block circulation.
• Confirm the spray arms spin freely and the load is not blocking them.
• Run hot water at the sink before starting to improve wash performance.

If the dishwasher fills but you do not hear strong washing action, focus on the circulation system.

For this model, leaks or air entering the wash system can also reduce circulation. If you see water at the bottom front edge of the door, inspect the lower door seal: gasket 809006501.

After repairs, many Kenmore dishwashers require clearing stored faults using the exact key sequence for the control on your unit. Use the 58716163401 owner's manual to match the correct button pattern and any model-specific service checks.

A circulation (wash pump) failure means detergent is not being pushed through the spray arms, so dishes stay dirty and the heater can struggle to maintain proper wash temperature. Fixing the root cause prevents repeat error codes and poor cleaning.

On Kenmore dishwasher model 58716163401, poor bottom-rack cleaning almost always comes from blocked lower spray-arm flow, a loading issue that stops spray-arm rotation, or reduced wash pressure from a dirty filter or weak fill. Use the 58716163401 owner's manual to confirm spray-arm and filter locations.

• Spin the lower spray arm by hand; it should rotate freely without hitting plates or the rack.
• Clear clogged spray-arm holes (toothpick and warm water work well).
• Re-load so tall pans and cutting boards do not “wall off” water from the lower arm.
• Keep items from protruding through the rack and blocking spray-arm rotation.
• Verify the detergent dispenser can open; oversized items can prevent it from opening.
• Run the hot water at the sink until it is hot before starting the cycle.

Your dishwasher’s wash system filters and recirculates water for cleaning; when the filter area is packed with food soil, the lower arm can lose pressure.

What to do

• Remove the bottom rack.
• Clean the filter area and any visible debris.
• Reinstall everything securely before running a test cycle.

If the spray arm is clear and loading is correct but the bottom rack still stays dirty, a fill or drain issue can reduce wash action.

Bottom-rack cleaning depends on strong, unobstructed flow from the lower spray arm. Anything that blocks rotation, reduces water level, or restricts filtration lowers spray pressure and leaves soil behind.
