How do I reset my Kenmore dishwasher control board?
To reset the control on your Kenmore dishwasher model 58714023200A, we recommend doing a simple power reset first; if the keypad is still unresponsive, use the model’s control-panel reset sequence listed in the 58714023200A owner's manual.
Quick reset methods (try in order)
- Cancel/Drain: Press the Cancel button (or Cancel/Drain) once and wait for the drain to finish.
- Power reset: Turn the dishwasher off at the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power.
- Door reset: Close the door fully, then open and close it again to ensure the latch is engaging.
- Control-panel sequence: Use the exact button sequence shown in the manual for your control style.
- After reset: Run a short rinse cycle to confirm the wash motor and drain pump respond normally.
What to check if it will not reset
If the dishwasher still will not respond after a reset, the issue is usually power supply, a stuck key, or a control component that is not communicating.
- Verify the dishwasher has power (breaker on, no tripped GFCI if applicable).
- Make sure the door is latching; many models will not start or reset with a weak latch.
- Listen for drain motor activity after Cancel/Drain.
- If the tub is overfilling or you see water in the base, check the float system.
- If symptoms point to an electronic failure, the Board 5304512731 is the control component commonly involved.
Common symptoms and likely next step
| Symptom | What it often means | What we do next |
|---|---|---|
| No lights, no response | No power to dishwasher | Check breaker, wiring, junction box |
| Lights on, buttons do nothing | Keypad or control not accepting input | Try control-panel sequence; inspect for stuck keys |
| Starts then stops, drains unexpectedly | Control detected a fault | Reset, then check for error code behavior |
| Won’t fill after reset | Fill circuit issue | Check water supply and inlet valve |
Why it matters
A proper reset clears a “hung” cycle and restores normal communication between the user interface and control board; it also helps you confirm whether the problem is a temporary glitch or a part issue.

What size is a Kenmore dishwasher 58714023200A?
For the Kenmore dishwasher model 58714023200A, the cabinet opening is typically sized for a standard built-in dishwasher: about 24 inches wide, roughly 35 7/8 inches high, and about 26 3/16 inches deep (front-to-back), with leveling feet used to fine-tune height. See the 58714023200A owner's manual for the exact cutout and clearance requirements.
Quick size guide (what to measure)
Use a tape measure and check these points before ordering parts or planning an install:
- Width: inside the cabinet opening (left to right)
- Height: floor to underside of countertop (front and back)
- Depth: back wall to front of cabinet frame (allow for door clearance)
- Toe-kick clearance: space at the bottom front for the kickplate
- Side clearance: room so the tub and insulation do not rub cabinets
Typical built-in dishwasher dimensions
These are the common targets most kitchens are built around; your exact fit depends on leveling and how the unit is anchored.
| Measurement | Typical target | What affects it |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 24 in. | Cabinet opening and side panels |
| Height | 34 to 35 7/8 in. | Leveling legs, flooring thickness |
| Depth | 24 to 26 3/16 in. | Door style, insulation, plumbing clearance |
Installation notes that affect “size”
Even when the dishwasher body fits, installation details can change whether it slides in cleanly:
- Route the drain hose so it does not kink or push the unit forward; see the installation guide.
- Confirm the water line and electrical connection do not interfere with the rear of the unit.
- Level the dishwasher front-to-back and side-to-side to help the door seal evenly.
- If you are replacing a worn seal that causes leaks at the bottom edge, inspect the dishwasher door seal 809006501.
Why it matters
Correct measurements help prevent door interference, vibration, and leaks. A dishwasher that is forced into a tight opening can pinch hoses, strain wiring, and keep the door from sealing correctly.

What are the commonly replaced parts in a dishwasher?
On the Kenmore 58714023200A dishwasher, the most commonly replaced parts are the wash and drain components (pump, hoses, inlet valve), heating parts, and door sealing parts. These items wear out first because they handle water flow, heat, and leaks every cycle.
Most common dishwasher parts people replace
- Dishwasher water inlet valve (fills the tub; failures cause no-fill or slow-fill)
- Pump or pump and motor assembly (circulates water; failures cause poor cleaning or loud noise)
- Drain hose (drains water; failures cause leaks or not draining)
- Heater (heats water and helps drying; failures cause poor drying or cool washes)
- Door seal and related gaskets (prevents leaks at the door)
- Filter and spray system parts (clogs reduce wash pressure and cleaning)
Quick symptom-to-part guide
| Symptom | Most likely part area | Example part for 58714023200A |
|---|---|---|
| Not filling or fills slowly | Water supply and fill system | Dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401 |
| Poor cleaning, weak spray | Circulation system, filter, spray arm | Pump A00126401 |
| Won’t drain or drains slowly | Drain path | Drain hose 807117001 |
| Water leaking at the door | Door sealing surfaces | Dishwasher door seal 809006501 |
| Dishes not drying well | Heating system | Heater 154825001 |
Why these parts fail most often
- Food debris and grease clog filters, spray paths, and pump areas
- Hard water scale reduces heating efficiency and restricts water flow
- Normal wear on rubber seals causes drips and door leaks
- Kinks, cracks, or loose clamps on hoses lead to leaks and drain problems
Why it matters
Replacing the right part restores proper water pressure, heating, and sealing; that improves cleaning results, prevents leaks, and helps the dishwasher complete cycles normally. For model-specific diagrams and part locations, use the 58714023200A owner's manual.

What are the common problems with Kenmore dishwashers?
Common problems we see on Kenmore dishwashers like model 58714023200A are not draining, not filling, poor cleaning, leaking, and weak drying. These issues usually trace back to a clogged filter or spray arm, a restricted drain path, or a failed component such as the inlet valve, heater, or pump.
Most common symptoms and what they usually mean
- Won’t drain or drains slowly: clogged filter, blocked drain hose, or a failing pump
- Won’t fill or fills slowly: water supply issue, stuck float, or bad inlet valve
- Dishes come out dirty: clogged filter, blocked spray arm holes, or loading/detergent problems
- Leaks: door seal wear, loose hose connections, or a misaligned door
- No heat or poor drying: heater problem or cycle settings that reduce heat
Quick checks you can do first
- Cancel the cycle and confirm the tub has standing water.
- Clean the filter area and remove debris (glass, labels, food).
- Inspect the drain hose routing for kinks and make sure it has a proper high loop.
- Spin the spray arms by hand and clear blocked jet holes.
- Verify the float moves freely and is not stuck in the “up” position.
Parts that commonly fix these problems (58714023200A)
| Symptom | Likely part to inspect | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Not draining | Drain path or pump | Pump A00126401 |
| Not filling | Inlet valve or float system | Dishwasher water inlet valve 154637401 |
| Poor drying/no heat | Heating circuit | Heater 154825001 |
| Leaking at the door | Door seal | Dishwasher door seal 809006501 |
| Drain leaks or siphoning | Drain hose | Drain hose 807117001 |
Error codes and cycle behavior
If your dishwasher shows an error code or beeps in a pattern, match it to the Kenmore family guide first; that narrows the troubleshooting to fill, drain, heat, or control problems. Use Kenmore he dishwasher error codes for the most common Kenmore dishwasher code patterns.
Why it matters
Drain, fill, and heat problems can cascade: a restricted filter can reduce wash pressure, which leaves soil behind, which then clogs the drain system and causes odors or standing water. Fixing the root cause early helps protect the pump, heater, and control.
For model-specific operating steps, cycle options, and maintenance intervals, follow the 58714023200A owner's manual.
