How big is the Kenmore dishwasher model 58715263900A?
The Kenmore dishwasher model 58715263900A is a standard built-in size: it fits a 24-inch-wide cabinet opening and is designed for a typical countertop height around 34 inches, with adjustable leveling legs to fine-tune the installed height. For exact fit details, use the 58715263900A installation guide.
These are the measurements that matter most when you are checking your opening and hookups:
- Cabinet opening width: typically 24 inches for this built-in platform
- Cabinet opening height: commonly 34 inches; the leveling legs adjust to match the opening
- Minimum opening guidance: an opening height of at least 33-3/4 inches is a common fit threshold for built-in installs
- Utility routing: water, drain, and electrical lines must stay in the designated routing areas so they do not interfere with the motor/frame
- Best placement: usually next to the sink for easier access to existing plumbing
Measure these three items to avoid clearance problems:
- Opening width (inside cabinet to inside cabinet)
- Opening height (underside of countertop to finished floor)
- Opening depth (front of cabinet to back wall, accounting for hoses)
| Measurement | Where to measure | What you’re confirming |
|---|---|---|
| Width | Inside cabinet walls | 24-inch built-in opening fit |
| Height | Countertop underside to floor | Leveling leg adjustment range |
| Depth | Cabinet front to back wall | Space for drain hose and wiring |
Dishwashers can look “standard,” but installation success depends on the opening height and how the drain hose, hot water line, and electrical cable route behind the kickplate. Correct measurements prevent kinks, rubbing, and leaks.
- Keep the drain hose and water line from kinking; kinks can cause fill or drain problems.
- Use a dedicated 120V circuit sized appropriately for the installation.
- If connecting to a disposer for the first time, make sure the disposer inlet plug is removed.
- For better day-to-day results, follow loading and cycle guidance in how to use your dishwasher efficiently.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58715263900A is usually worth it when the unit is under about 10 years old and the fix is a common wear item (seal, hose, valve) or a straightforward service. If the repair involves major electrical or motor-driven components, compare the total repair cost to replacement.
- If the dishwasher leaks, start with seals, hoses, and clamps before assuming a pump failure.
- If it won’t fill, the water supply and inlet valve are the first checks.
- If it won’t drain, look for a kinked/blocked drain hose or a drain path restriction.
- If it won’t start, rule out door latch and control issues.
- If multiple major symptoms show up at once (leak + no drain + no heat), replacement often makes more sense.
Use this as a practical guide for the 58715263900A; exact totals depend on labor rates and what failed.
| Repair type | Common parts involved | Usually worth it when… |
|---|---|---|
| Leak at door/tub front | Dishwasher door seal 809006501 | Leak is localized and the unit otherwise runs normally |
| No fill / slow fill | Dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401 | Water supply is good and the valve screen is clogged or valve is failing |
| No drain / poor drain | Drain hose 807117001 | Hose is kinked, restricted, or leaking |
| No wash / weak spray | Pump A00126401 or dishwasher pump and motor assembly 154844301 | Dishwasher is in good condition and you want to avoid replacing the whole unit |
A dishwasher repair is most cost-effective when it restores reliable washing with a single targeted fix. The installation instructions also emphasize basics that prevent repeat problems, such as keeping water and drain lines kink-free and checking for leaks after turning the water back on.
- Confirm the symptom and run a quick inspection using the 58715263900A installation guide.
- Check for simple causes first: kinks in the water line, kinks in the drain hose, loose clamps, and obvious leaks.
- If you’re seeing an error code, use the Kenmore he dishwasher error codes guide to narrow the failure to a specific system.
