How do I tell what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
To identify your Kenmore dishwasher model, open the door and look for the model and serial number label on the right side of the tub or along the inner door frame. For this model page, the correct model number format is 587.1624__ (example: 58716248701). See the 58716248701 owner's manual diagram for the label location.
Where to look on the dishwasher
Check these common label locations first (in order):
- Right side wall of the tub (most common on Kenmore 587 models)
- Inner door frame or top edge of the door opening
- Along the tub opening near the latch area
- Lower edge of the door (inside), near the hinge area
- Behind the toe-kick panel (if the label is missing inside the tub)
What the model number looks like (and why it matters)
Kenmore dishwashers often use a prefix that identifies the manufacturer series. For this Kenmore family, you will typically see 587.1624__ on the label, and the full model on our parts page is 58716248701.
Quick ID guide
| What you see on the label | What it means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| 587.1624__ | Model family/series format | Match the full number to order parts |
| 58716248701 | Full model number | Use this exact number for parts lookup |
| Serial number | Production identifier | Keep it for service records |
Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part
Even one digit off can change the door seal, drain hose routing, or control panel style. Before ordering, we recommend:
- Copy the model number exactly as printed (including dots and any suffix)
- Take a clear photo of the label for reference
- Use the model number when selecting parts like a door seal or drain hose
- Confirm the part description matches your symptom (leak, no drain, won’t start)
Why it matters
The model number ties your dishwasher to the correct parts diagrams and repair instructions, which helps you get the right fit for items like the wash system components, door latch parts, and rack hardware.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes; repairing a Kenmore dishwasher such as model 58716248701 is worth it when the failure is a single, common wear item (door leak, drain issue, rack roller) and the repair total stays well below the cost of a comparable replacement. Multiple major failures at once usually shifts the value toward replacement.
Quick repair vs replace checklist
We use these checkpoints before ordering parts:
- Age: Under 10 years favors repair; over 10 years depends on overall condition.
- Repair cost: If the repair approaches 50% of replacement cost, replacement usually makes more sense.
- Failure count: One failed part is a good repair candidate; two major components at once is not.
- Leak risk: Active leaks should be addressed quickly to protect cabinets and flooring.
- Performance: Poor cleaning often improves with maintenance and correct loading first.
Common, cost-effective repairs for model 58716248701
| Symptom | Likely cause | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking at the door | Worn lower door seal | Gasket 809006501 |
| Won’t drain or drains slowly | Clogged/kinked drain path or weak pump | Hose 807117001 or dishwasher drain pump A00126501 |
| Won’t fill | Inlet valve problem or supply issue | Dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401 |
| Rack won’t roll smoothly | Worn lower rack rollers | Dishwasher dishrack roller, lower 5304532229 |
Why it matters
This dishwasher recirculates filtered water for cleaning; when sealing, filling, or draining is compromised, you get poor wash results and higher risk of water damage. Targeting the most likely failure point keeps the repair cost-effective.
What to check first
Follow the troubleshooting and care steps in the 58716248701 owner’s manual:
- Confirm the door closes and latches firmly; inspect the seal for gaps or tears.
- Check for standing water; clear the filter area and drain path.
- Verify the water supply valve is open and the inlet line is not kinked.

What size is a Kenmore dishwasher model 58716248701?
The Kenmore dishwasher model 58716248701 fits a standard built-in dishwasher opening; most installations use a 24-inch-wide cabinet space with an opening height that can be adjusted using the leveling legs. For the exact fit requirements and leveling targets, use the 58716248701 installation guide.
Standard opening and fit guidelines
For Kenmore built-in dishwashers like 58716248701, the cabinet opening and leveling setup matter more than the outer shell measurements.
- Typical cabinet width: 24 inches (standard built-in dishwasher space)
- Typical overall height range: about 33 3/4 to 35 inches depending on leg adjustment
- Typical depth: about 24 inches plus door thickness (varies by handle and panel style)
- Minimum opening height called out for fit: 33 3/4 inches (measured from underside of countertop to floor)
- Leveling is required side-to-side and front-to-back for proper door sealing and draining
What the installation guide tells you to measure
Use these measurements before you slide the dishwasher into the opening:
- Measure from the underside of the countertop to the floor
- Confirm you have at least 33 3/4 inches of opening height
- Adjust the front and rear leveling legs to match the opening
- Verify the unit is level using a bubble level (top front of tub and along the opened door)
Quick fit reference table
| What you measure | Where you measure it | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Opening height | Countertop underside to floor | At least 33 3/4 in. for a standard fit |
| Level, side-to-side | Across top front of tub | Bubble centered |
| Level, front-to-back | Along side of opened door | Bubble centered |
Why it matters
Correct sizing and leveling prevents common problems like door leaks, poor wash performance (spray arms hitting racks), and drain issues caused by standing water in the sump.
Related parts that affect “fit” symptoms
If you are checking size because of leaking or door alignment, these parts are often involved:
- Gasket 809006501 (lower door seal)
- Door latch strike alignment (door must close squarely)
- Rack rollers and rack position (racks should glide without forcing the door)
