You have a Kenmore dishwasher in the 587.1524_ / 587.1624_ model family; the exact “kind” is identified by the full model number on the serial label inside the tub. For your unit, the model is 58715242702, which you should use for parts and troubleshooting.

Where to find the model and serial label

On Kenmore dishwashers like 58715242702, the serial label is typically on the right side of the tub when you open the door.

• Open the door and look along the right tub wall for a sticker or metal plate
• Wipe the area clean; labels can be hidden by residue
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown
• Use the model number for parts lookup (gaskets, drain hose, inlet valve, heater)
• Use the serial number when checking production details in the documentation

What the model number tells you

Kenmore model numbers help identify the platform and parts design. The manual for this dishwasher lists model families 587.1524_ and 587.1624_ (the underscore indicates a color code), and your full model number 58715242702 fits that family.

What you’re checking	Example for your dishwasher	Why it matters
Model family	587.1524_ / 587.1624_	Confirms the correct design platform
Full model number	58715242702	Ensures exact-fit replacement parts
Serial number	(from label)	Helps match documentation and production details

Why it matters for parts and repairs

Using the exact model number prevents ordering look-alike parts that do not seal, mount, or connect correctly.

Common model-matched parts customers replace include:

• Gasket 809006501 (door seal area)
• Drain hose
• Dishwasher water inlet valve
• Heating element

A Kenmore dishwasher model 58715242702 typically leaks from the bottom when water is escaping past a door seal, a splash shield, or a pump/sump seal, or when excess suds cause overflow. We also see leaks when the dishwasher is not level, which lets water run toward the front.

Quick checks that fix many bottom leaks

• Use only automatic dishwasher detergent; hand soap creates foam that can overflow.
• If rinse aid spilled, wipe it up; it can cause foaming and overflow.
• Confirm the dishwasher is level front-to-back and side-to-side (leveling is covered in the installation guide).
• Run a short cycle and watch for the first moment water appears; timing helps pinpoint the source.
• Check that the tub gasket area is clean and free of food debris.

Most common leak points on this model

Bottom leaks usually trace back to one of these areas:

Where you see water	Most likely cause	What to inspect first
Front center, under door	Lower door seal not sealing	Gasket 809006501 for tears, flattening, or gaps
Front corners	Splash shield not sealing	Gasket 154701001 kit condition and fit
Under middle of tub	Sump or pump seal leaking	Sump gasket and pump O-rings for seepage
Near left/right side under tub	Fill or drain plumbing	Drain hose routing and clamps

What to do next (step-by-step)

1. Stop the cycle and disconnect power at the breaker before inspecting underneath.
2. Check for suds in the tub; if present, switch detergent and rinse out foam.
3. Inspect the door sealing surfaces; clean the mating surfaces and look for a warped or damaged seal.
4. Verify leveling; a slight forward tilt can push water toward the door and drip from the bottom edge.
5. If the leak appears only during drain, inspect the hose 807117001 for cracks, loose clamps, or a poor high-loop.

Why it matters

A bottom leak is not just a puddle; it can lead to poor washing performance (water level changes), repeated cycle interruptions, and damage to nearby flooring or cabinets. Fixing the seal or hose early usually prevents bigger pump and motor issues later.

For diagrams and component locations (tub gasket, overfill protector, sump area), use the 58715242702 owner’s manual.
