Kenmore 58716142400 dishwasher Parts

No. Dishwashers are not all 33 inches tall; most built-in 24-inch dishwashers install in a cabinet opening around 34 to 35 inches high, and many can be adjusted with leveling legs. For Kenmore 58716142400, the installation guide shows it fits openings down to about 33-3/4 inches with proper leveling.

Typical dishwasher height vs. what you measure

Most “standard” built-in dishwashers are designed for a 24-inch-wide opening and a countertop height that lands near 34-1/2 inches. The exact installed height depends on your floor, countertop thickness, and how far the leveling legs are extended.

• 33 inches is usually too short for a standard built-in opening
• 33-3/4 inches is a common minimum fit point for many models with legs fully raised
• 34 to 35 inches is the most common cabinet opening range
• Leveling legs and shims fine-tune the final height
• Built-up floors can reduce the opening height and change fit

Quick fit check for Kenmore 58716142400

Use these steps before you buy parts or start an install.

1. Measure from the floor to the underside of the countertop at the front and back.
2. Confirm the opening is at least 33-3/4 inches.
3. Plan to level the dishwasher side-to-side and front-to-back.
4. If the opening is tight, follow the mounting and leveling details in the 58716142400 installation guide.

Common opening heights and what they mean

Cabinet opening height	What it usually means
33"	Typically too short for a standard built-in dishwasher
33-3/4"	Minimum fit range for many models with legs adjusted up
34" to 35"	Standard built-in dishwasher opening range

Why it matters

If the opening is too short, the dishwasher can bind against the countertop, sit unlevel (causing poor draining), or be difficult to secure properly. Correct height and leveling help the door seal, drain hose routing, and wash performance.

Yes. For the Kenmore 58716142400 dishwasher, you can buy replacement racks (often called trays), but you need the rack made for your exact model so it fits the tub, spray pattern, and rack tracks correctly; check the 58716142400 owner's manual for rack use and loading guidance.

What to replace (and what we call it)

Most customers mean one of these “tray” parts:

• Upper rack (top dishrack)
• Lower rack (bottom dishrack)
• Rack rollers or wheels (so the rack slides smoothly)
• Rack adjusters (on some designs)

For this model, common rack-related replacements include:

• Dishwasher dishrack, upper 5304535380
• Dishwasher Dishrack, Lower (part ID 154331607)
• Dishwasher Dishrack Roller, Lower (part ID 5304532229)

How to make sure you get the right rack

Use your model number (58716142400) and match the rack position.

• Confirm whether you need the upper or lower rack
• Compare tine layout and any cutouts for the spray arm
• Check whether your issue is actually worn rollers, not the rack itself
• Inspect for rusted-through tines or broken welds
• Verify the rack stops and tracks are not bent

Quick comparison

If your problem is…	Most likely fix	Typical symptom
Rack won’t roll smoothly	Replace rollers	Rack binds, pops off track
Rack is sagging or rusted	Replace rack	Dishes tip, rust flakes
Door won’t close with rack in	Check loading and rack alignment	Rack hits door or dispenser

Why it matters

A correct-fitting rack helps water circulate and lets the detergent dispenser open freely. The manual also recommends loading plastics in the top rack only to reduce heat damage and warping, which can make racks feel “off” even when the rack is fine.

Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 58716142400. The key is matching parts by your full model number and the exact symptom (leaking, not draining, not filling, door not latching) so you get the correct gasket, hose, valve, or latch for your unit.

How to make sure you order the right part

Use the model tag and the parts list in the 58716142400 owner's manual to confirm the model number and identify the correct component before you buy.

• Find the model/serial label on the tub wall just inside the dishwasher door.
• Match the symptom to the system: fill (water inlet), wash (motor/heater), drain (pump/hose), or door (latch/hinge/seal).
• Compare the part description to what you see on the dishwasher (location, shape, mounting points).
• If you are replacing a seal or O-ring, inspect mating surfaces for cracks, warping, or debris that can cause repeat leaks.
• For installation-related parts (hoses, wiring, anchoring), follow the safety and connection steps in the 58716142400 installation guide.

Common parts customers replace on this model

These are frequent fixes for everyday problems like leaks, poor draining, and door issues:

Symptom	Likely part to check	Example part for this model
Water leaking at the bottom of the door	Lower door seal	Gasket 809006501
Dishwasher will not drain or drains slowly	Drain hose or drain pump	Hose 807117001, dishwasher drain pump A00126501
Dishwasher not filling or fills slowly	Water inlet valve	Valve 154637401
Door will not latch or pops open	Latch components	Latch assembly A00104102

Why it matters

Ordering by model number prevents mismatches and repeat repairs. It also helps you avoid installation problems like kinked drain hoses, poor leveling, or improper anchoring, which can cause leaks, noise, and poor wash performance.

To hard reset your Kenmore dishwasher model 58716142400, we recommend canceling the current cycle and restoring power to clear a stuck control. After power is restored, start a fresh cycle using the steps in the 58716142400 owner's manual.

Reset methods that work on most Kenmore dishwashers

Try these in order; stop when the dishwasher responds normally.

• Cancel/Drain reset: Press Cancel/Drain (or Cancel) and let the unit pump out for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Power reset: Turn the dishwasher OFF, then switch OFF the breaker for 3 minutes, then turn it back ON.
• Door-latch reset: Close the door firmly until it latches; a door that is not fully latched can mimic a “frozen” control.
• Cycle restart: Select Normal Wash and start the cycle again.

If the control panel is unresponsive

A “hard reset” often fixes a temporary lockup, but repeated lockups usually point to a door-latch, water-fill, or drain issue.

• Confirm the dishwasher has power (breaker on, no tripped GFCI).
• Avoid pressing multiple keys rapidly; the manual warns not to tamper with controls.
• If the unit will not drain, check for a kinked or clogged drain line; the hose 807117001 is the model-matched drain hose.
• If the dishwasher overfills or stops filling, the float system may be involved; the switch 154773201 is the model-matched float switch.

Quick symptom guide

What you see	What to do first	What it points to
Lights on, won’t start	Power reset (3 minutes)	Control lockup or door not latched
Stops mid-cycle	Cancel/Drain, then restart	Drain restriction or control issue
Won’t drain	Cancel/Drain, check drain path	Drain hose routing or drain pump
Overfills	Stop cycle, shut off water	Float/float switch issue

Why it matters

Resetting clears a stuck cycle so the dishwasher can drain and restart safely. If the problem repeats, addressing the underlying drain, fill, or door-latch condition prevents leaks, poor cleaning, and unnecessary part replacement.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear item or a leak, especially on the Kenmore 58716142400. If the repair involves major electrical or motor work and the dishwasher is very old, replacement can make more sense. Use the 58716142400 owner's manual to match symptoms to likely causes.

Quick way to decide

• Repair when the issue is a seal, hose, latch, or a single failed component.
• Repair when the tub and inner door are in good shape (these are designed for long service life).
• Replace when multiple major parts are failing at once (for example, motor plus wiring plus controls).
• Replace when you have repeated leaks that are not solved by new seals and tightened connections.
• Repair when you can do safe DIY work (power off, water off) and the fix is straightforward.

Typical repair cost drivers (what usually tips the scale)

Problem area	Common symptom	Often a good repair?
Door sealing	Water at the front/bottom of door	Yes
Draining	Standing water, slow drain	Yes
Filling	No water or weak fill	Often
Heating/drying	Poor drying, cool wash	Often
Major drive	Loud grinding, no wash action	Sometimes

Model-specific parts that commonly make repair worthwhile

If you are seeing leaks or drain problems on the 58716142400, these model-matched parts are often the practical first step:

• Gasket 809006501 (lower door seal) for drips at the bottom of the door
• Hose 807117001 (drain hose) for leaks under the sink or poor draining
• Valve 154637401 (water inlet valve) for no-fill or slow-fill complaints
• Dishwasher drain pump A00126501 for humming with no drain or intermittent draining

Why it matters

A targeted repair restores cleaning performance and prevents water damage. The manual also calls out safe service basics, including disconnecting electrical power before servicing and avoiding contact with the heating element during or right after use.

Common problems we see on the Kenmore 58716142400 dishwasher include not starting or not running, not filling, poor cleaning, not draining (water left in the tub), leaking, and poor drying or spotting. Many of these trace back to power, water supply, loading, detergent, or a worn seal.

Quick checks that solve many complaints

• Reset power: check the breaker or fuse, then try a new cycle.
• Confirm water supply is on; low supply can cause fill and wash issues.
• Load correctly so items do not block spray arm rotation or the lower rack tower.
• Use fresh automatic dishwasher detergent; measure carefully.
• Use rinse aid and adjust the dispenser dial if you have spotting or poor drying.
• If the home hot water has not been used for 2+ weeks, run hot water at faucets for several minutes before starting.

Symptom-to-cause guide (most common)

Symptom	Common cause	What to do first
Won’t run	Tripped breaker, blown fuse, door not latched	Verify power, close door firmly, restart cycle
Won’t fill	Water supply off, overfill protector stuck	Turn on supply; check float moves freely
Water left in tub	Drain restriction or pump issue	Check for drain blockage; inspect drain path
Leaks	Too much detergent, rinse aid spill, unit not level	Measure detergent; wipe rinse aid; level the dishwasher
Spots or poor drying	Low rinse aid, water conditions	Increase rinse aid setting; use heat dry as desired

Parts that commonly relate to these problems

If you’re seeing leaks at the door area, a worn lower door seal is a frequent culprit on this model; the correct replacement is the gasket 809006501. If the dishwasher is not draining well, the drain path and pump system are key areas to inspect, including the dishwasher drain pump A00126501.

Why it matters

Catching simple issues early (loading, detergent, rinse aid, leveling, and supply checks) prevents repeat wash failures, reduces leaks that can damage cabinets or flooring, and helps the heater and pump run under normal conditions.

For model-specific operating tips, cleaning, and the built-in troubleshooting section, follow the 58716142400 owner's manual.

In the Kenmore 58716142400 dishwasher, the most commonly replaced parts are the ones that control water flow, sealing, heating, and draining, plus rack hardware that wears from daily use. When you see leaks, poor cleaning, or no-drain symptoms, these parts are the first places we check. For model-specific access and checks, use the 58716142400 owner's manual.

Commonly replaced parts (and what they fix)

• Door sealing parts: stop leaks at the bottom or sides of the door (example: gasket 809006501)
• Drain components: fix standing water, slow draining, or drain noise (example: hose 807117001 and dishwasher drain pump A00126501)
• Water fill parts: fix no-fill, underfill, or fill-related leaking (example: valve 154637401)
• Heating parts: improve drying and help maintain wash temperature (example: heater 154665201)
• Overfill protection: helps prevent overfilling and related leaks (example: switch 154773201)
• Rack wear items: restore smooth rack movement (example: dishwasher dishrack roller, lower 5304532229)

Quick symptom-to-part guide

Symptom	Most likely area	Example part for this model
Water leaking at the door	Door seal or door alignment	Gasket 809006501
Dishwasher will not drain	Drain hose or drain pump	Hose 807117001, Drain pump A00126501
Not filling or fills slowly	Water inlet	Valve 154637401
Dishes not drying well	Heating circuit	Heater 154665201
Overfills or acts like it is “stuck filling”	Float/overfill switch	Switch 154773201

Why these parts fail most often

These components do the hardest work: they handle heat, detergent, food soil, and constant water exposure. The manual also calls out performance factors like incoming water temperature (at least 120°F) and home water pressure (20 to 120 psi), which directly affect cleaning and can make a good dishwasher seem “weak” even when parts are fine.

What we recommend before replacing parts

• Confirm the dishwasher is level and the door closes smoothly
• Check for kinks in the drain line and water line
• Make sure dishes are loaded so spray arms can rotate freely
• Verify hot water temperature is at least 120°F
• Run a NORMAL cycle and recheck for leaks at connections
