Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. You can still get replacement parts for Kenmore dishwashers, including model 58715182402, as long as the specific part is still being manufactured and stocked. Common wear items like door seals, drain hoses, inlet valves, and pumps are typically the easiest to source using your exact model number.
We recommend matching by model number first, then confirming the part name and ID before you buy.
- Use the full model number 58715182402 from the serial label (often on the right side of the tub)
- Compare the part description to your symptom (leak, no drain, no fill, poor cleaning)
- Check whether the part is listed as in stock or special order
- If your dishwasher has multiple versions, verify the correct diagram location
- Use the troubleshooting and maintenance steps in the 58715182402 owner's manual
These are frequent fixes for leaks, draining problems, and door-closing issues.
| Symptom | Likely area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking at the bottom of the door | Door seal | Dishwasher door seal 809006501 |
| Dishwasher will not drain or drains slowly | Drain path | Hose 807117001 or dishwasher drain pump A00126501 |
| Dishwasher will not fill with water | Water supply | Valve 154637401 |
| Door will not latch or pops open | Door latch/strike | Strike 154662601 |
Kenmore dishwashers are designed for years of dependable operation, and many repairs are part replacements rather than full unit replacement. Using the exact model number helps ensure proper fit, correct electrical connectors, and leak-free sealing.
If your Kenmore dishwasher is displaying an error, use Kenmore he dishwasher error codes to narrow the problem to the fill system, drain system, heating circuit, or controls before ordering parts.

How do I tell which Kenmore dishwasher I have?
To identify which Kenmore dishwasher you have, find the model and serial number label on your unit and match that model number to parts and documentation. For Kenmore model 58715182402, the label is on the right side of the tub.
Check these common spots first (in this order):
- Right side of the tub (most common on this style; visible when you open the door)
- Along the door frame or inner door edge
- Behind the kickplate area (less common for the rating label, but you may see wiring and junction box access)
- On paperwork that came with the dishwasher (manual packet, purchase documents)
For diagrams and the exact “Serial Label” location callout, use the 58715182402 owner's manual.
Record both numbers exactly as shown:
- Model number (this drives correct part fit)
- Serial number (helps date and version details)
- Purchase date (useful for service history)
| Item | What it tells you | How it’s used |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | The exact dishwasher design | Matching parts like a door seal, drain pump, or heater |
| Serial number | Production run details | Confirming variations within the same model family |
Kenmore dishwashers can look similar across multiple series, but internal parts can differ. Using the exact model number helps you avoid ordering the wrong items, especially for fit-critical parts like the dishwasher door seal 809006501 or the dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401.

What is the average lifespan of 58715182402?
A Kenmore dishwasher like model 58715182402 typically lasts 10 years with normal household use. Consistent cleaning, correct detergent use, and fixing small leaks or draining issues quickly are what most often determine whether it reaches that full service life.
- Hard water and heavy soil loads increase wear on the wash system and heater
- Clogged filters or a blocked glass trap can strain the pump and reduce cleaning performance
- Door leaks can damage surrounding components and lead to corrosion
- Poor draining can overwork the drain pump and leave standing water
- Overloading racks can break rollers, rails, and spray arm movement
Use the care steps in the owner's manual and follow this routine:
- Clean the filter area and remove debris from the sump regularly
- Check the spray arm holes for clogs and rinse them clear
- Run hot water at the sink before starting a cycle for better wash temperatures
- Use rinse aid and keep the cap sealed to improve drying and reduce spotting
- Inspect for drips at the door and under the unit after a cycle
If you see symptoms early, replacing a wear part often extends the dishwasher’s life.
| Symptom | Likely area | Example part on this model |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking at the front | Door sealing | Dishwasher door seal 809006501 |
| Not draining, water left in tub | Drain system | Dishwasher drain pump A00126501 |
| Poor wash, weak spray | Wash system | Arm assembly 5304513274 |
Most “dishwasher failures” start as performance problems (poor cleaning, leaks, slow draining). Addressing those quickly helps protect major components like the pump motor and heater, which are the most expensive repairs.
