Can I replace dishwasher parts myself?
Yes, for Kenmore dishwasher model 58714019413B, many common repairs are DIY-friendly if you shut off power and water first and follow the step-by-step procedures in the 58714019413B installation guide. Simple mechanical parts (rollers, spray arms, hoses) are usually the easiest; wiring and leak-related repairs take more care.
Good DIY repairs vs. better-for-a-pro repairs
Good DIY candidates (most homeowners):
- Cleaning or replacing a spray arm and clearing spray holes
- Replacing a drain hose and correcting kinks
- Replacing a dishrack roller or rack components
- Replacing a latch if the door will not stay closed
- Replacing a detergent dispenser assembly (moderate difficulty)
Often better for a pro (or advanced DIY):
- Junction box wiring work and electrical troubleshooting
- Leak diagnosis involving the sump, pump seals, or tub
- Motor or timer replacement if you are not comfortable with wiring
Safety and prep checklist (do this every time)
From the installation guidance for this platform, we recommend these basics before you start:
- Disconnect electrical power at the breaker/fuse.
- Shut off the water supply.
- Pull the unit carefully; avoid routing wiring behind the motor.
- Check for kinked water or drain hoses (kinks cause fill and drain problems).
- Confirm the dishwasher is level and secured so it cannot tip when the door opens.
Parts that commonly solve “won’t drain” or “won’t fill” symptoms
If your symptom matches, these model-compatible parts are common fixes:
| Symptom | What to check first | Common replacement part |
|---|---|---|
| Won’t drain / water left in tub | Kinked drain hose, disposer plug knocked out, drain path blockage | Drain pump a A00126401 or dishwasher drain hose 807117001 |
| Won’t fill / fills slowly | Hot water supply on, adequate pressure, inlet screen not clogged | Dishwasher water inlet valve 807047901 |
Why it matters
DIY repairs can restore cleaning performance and prevent repeat issues like poor draining from a kinked hose or poor filling from a restricted water supply. Proper leveling and anchoring also prevents the dishwasher from tilting when the door is opened.

Can you still get parts for a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes. We still carry replacement parts for many Kenmore dishwashers, including model 58714019413B. The key is matching parts by the full model number so you get the correct fit for items like the drain pump, heating element, water inlet valve, and racks; your 58714019413B owner's manual also helps confirm what your dishwasher uses.
How to make sure you order the right part
- Use the complete model number 58714019413B (from the tub rim or door frame label).
- Match by function and symptom (drain issue, no heat, not filling, door won’t latch).
- Compare the part name and ID to what you need before ordering.
- If you are replacing a leak-related part, inspect hoses, clamps, and O-rings at the same time.
- After any repair, run a short cycle and check for leaks and proper draining.
Common Kenmore 58714019413B parts customers replace
| Symptom | Likely part to check | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Won’t drain or drains slowly | Drain pump, drain hose | Drain pump a A00126401, dishwasher drain hose 807117001 |
| Dishes not drying, water not heating | Heating element, mounting hardware | Frigidaire dishwasher heating element 154825001, dishwasher heating element nut 154106202 |
| Not filling or fills poorly | Water inlet valve, inlet screen | Dishwasher water inlet valve 807047901 |
| Door won’t stay closed | Door latch | Latch assembly 5304525219 |
Why it matters
Kenmore dishwashers are built with serviceable components, so replacing a targeted part (like a pump, valve, or heating element) restores normal washing and drying without replacing the whole dishwasher.
Installation and safety notes (when parts involve water or power)
Our installation guidance for this style of dishwasher calls out basics that also apply during many repairs:
- Use a grounded 120V, 15 to 20 amp electrical supply.
- Turn off power at the breaker before accessing wiring.
- Kinked water or drain hoses can cause performance problems.
- Turn on the water supply and check carefully for leaks after reassembly.

Is it worth repairing a Kenmore dishwasher?
Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58714019413B is usually worth it when the problem is a common wear item (drain pump, inlet valve, latch, hose, heating circuit) and the total repair cost stays well below the price of a replacement dishwasher. For major leaks, tub damage, or multiple high-cost failures at once, replacement makes more sense.
Quick decision checklist (what we use)
- Age: Under 10 years old typically favors repair; over 10 years old depends on the part and condition.
- Repair cost: Repair is the better value when parts plus labor are under ~50% of replacement cost.
- Failure type: One clear failure (no-drain, no-fill, door won’t latch) favors repair.
- Condition: Rusted racks, recurring leaks, or heavy corrosion pushes toward replacement.
- DIY comfort: If you can safely do basic checks, you can often save most of the cost.
Common repairs that are usually worth it on 58714019413B
These are frequent, targeted fixes that often restore normal washing and draining:
- No-drain or standing water: drain pump a A00126401
- Slow drain or leaks at the drain path: dishwasher drain hose 807117001
- No fill or weak fill: dishwasher water inlet valve 807047901
- Door won’t start cycle because it won’t latch: latch assembly 5304525219
- Poor drying or water not heating: frigidaire dishwasher heating element 154825001
When replacement is the better call
Replacement is typically the better value when you have any of these:
- Cracked tub, chronic base leaks, or repeated flooding issues
- Multiple major parts needed at once (for example pump motor plus timer plus racks)
- Persistent performance problems even after cleaning filters and spray arms
Repair vs replace at a glance
| Situation | Usually best choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| One failed part (pump, valve, latch, hose) | Repair | High success rate, contained cost |
| Multiple expensive parts at once | Replace | Costs stack quickly |
| Tub damage or recurring major leaks | Replace | Structural issue, not a wear item |
| Unit otherwise clean and solid | Repair | Extends life with minimal risk |
Why it matters
A dishwasher repair is only a good investment when it restores reliable wash, drain, and dry performance. Using the correct troubleshooting steps and installation checks (leveling, no kinks in water and drain lines, leak checks) prevents repeat failures and protects your cabinets and flooring. We follow the setup and safety guidance in the 58714019413B installation guide when diagnosing water, drain, and electrical connection issues.
