What size is a Kenmore dishwasher model 58715194400?
Most Kenmore 58715194400 dishwashers are standard built-in units designed for a 24-inch-wide cabinet opening, with an adjustable height to fit common countertop cutouts. For the exact cutout and leveling targets for your installation, use the 58715194400 installation guide.
Typical dimensions you should plan around
For this Kenmore dishwasher style, these are the measurements that matter most during install:
- Width (opening): 24 inches (standard built-in)
- Height (opening): typically 33-3/4 to 35 inches, adjusted with leveling legs
- Depth: typically around 24 inches plus door clearance in front
- Leveling: unit must be level side-to-side and front-to-back for proper draining and door sealing
What the installation guide confirms for fit
The installation instructions focus on cabinet opening height and leveling leg adjustment:
- If the opening height is at least 33-3/4 inches, the dishwasher fits without modifying the countertop or flooring.
- The front and rear leveling legs are used to raise or lower the dishwasher to match the opening.
- The dishwasher must be checked with a level at the tub and at the opened door to confirm proper alignment.
Quick fit checklist
- Measure from the underside of the countertop to the floor.
- Confirm you have at least 33-3/4 inches of height.
- Adjust front and rear levelers until the tub is level.
- Verify the door closes evenly and the tub gasket seals.
Size planning table (what to measure)
| What you measure | Where to measure | What you want to see |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet opening width | Inside of cabinet walls | 24-inch built-in opening |
| Cabinet opening height | Countertop underside to floor | 33-3/4 inches minimum |
| Front clearance | In front of dishwasher | Enough room for door to open fully |
| Level | Across tub front and on opened door | Bubble centered both ways |
Why it matters
Correct sizing and leveling prevents common problems like door leaks, poor draining, and noisy operation. A dishwasher that is even slightly out of level can stress the door seal and affect wash performance.

How do I tell what model Kenmore dishwasher I have?
Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is printed on the model and serial number label inside the tub. For Kenmore model 58715194400, the label is on the right side of the tub, and the model number typically begins with 587. (followed by more digits).
Where to look first (fastest checks)
- Open the dishwasher door fully.
- Look along the right interior tub wall for the model/serial label.
- Wipe the area with a damp cloth; labels can be hard to read through residue.
- Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown.
- Use the full model number when ordering parts like a door seal, drain hose, or water inlet valve.
What the label looks like and what you need
The label includes both the model and serial number. Record both so we can match the correct parts and troubleshooting info.
| What to record | Example format you may see | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 587.1519_ _ (varies by color/version) | Ensures correct part fit and diagrams |
| Serial number | Letters and numbers | Helps identify production details |
| Purchase date (optional) | Month/day/year | Useful for service history |
Why it matters
Kenmore dishwashers can look similar across series, but internal components (like the wash system parts, heating element, and door latch pieces) can differ. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong replacement part.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes; repairing your Kenmore dishwasher model 58715194400 is worth it when the failure is a leak, drain problem, or other wear item and the total repair cost stays reasonable. Replacement makes more sense when you have repeated breakdowns or a high-cost control or motor repair.
How we decide: age, cost, and what failed
Use these checkpoints before buying parts or scheduling service:
- Age: under 10 years old favors repair; over 10 years old depends on overall condition.
- Failure type: seals, hoses, and valves are usually cost-effective; electronics and motors cost more.
- Symptom count: one clear issue (single leak point, won’t drain) favors repair; multiple symptoms favor replacement.
- Leak source: confirm whether the leak is at the door, sump, or plumbing connections.
Repairs that are usually worth it on model 58715194400
These are common fixes that often restore normal operation:
- Door-area leak: replace a torn or flattened lower door seal such as the gasket 809006501.
- Won’t drain or drains slowly: inspect for kinks or clogs and replace the hose 807117001 if needed.
- No fill or weak fill: verify the shutoff valve is open and replace the valve 154637401 if the inlet valve is failing.
When replacement starts to make sense
Compare the total repair (parts plus labor) to a new dishwasher when these are involved:
| Repair area | What you may notice | Decision driver |
|---|---|---|
| Electronic control | No-start, erratic cycles | Part cost plus diagnosis time |
| Motor/pump | Loud operation, poor wash | Labor plus additional wear risk |
| Multiple leaks | Drips from more than one area | Parts list grows quickly |
Why it matters
This dishwasher recirculates and filters wash water for cleaning performance; fixing leaks and drain or fill problems early prevents repeat failures and helps avoid water damage.
For model-specific care, checks, and component locations, use the 58715194400 owner’s manual.
