Your Kenmore dishwasher model number is printed on the model and serial number label inside the tub, typically on the right side of the door opening. Once you have it (for example, 58716189402), we can match the correct parts, diagrams, and troubleshooting steps.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the dishwasher door and look along the right side of the tub for the model/serial label.
• Check the inner door frame around the opening.
• Look along the top edge of the door (near the latch area).
• If the label is worn, use a flashlight and look for etched or faint printing.
• Record both the model number and serial number for ordering parts.

What the label looks like and what you need from it

The label usually lists:

• Model number (Kenmore often starts with 587. on this platform)
• Serial number
• Sometimes a color code or additional suffix characters

We recommend writing the full model number exactly as shown, including any dots or suffixes.

Why the exact model number matters

Kenmore dishwashers can look identical but use different components (door seal, drain hose, water inlet valve, control panel). The model number ensures you get the right fit and avoids returns.

If you’re doing this task	Use this info
Ordering replacement parts	Full model number + serial number

Troubleshooting symptoms	Model number + any error code or behavior

Helpful model-specific resources

• Use the 58716189402 owner’s manual to confirm where the serial label is shown in the “Dishwasher features” section and to match feature names (spray arms, filter, heating element).
• Use the 58716189402 installation guide if you are verifying electrical (15 to 20 amp, 120V), water, and drain connection requirements before installing or moving the dishwasher.

Why it matters

Using the correct model number prevents mismatched parts and speeds up diagnosis, especially for common issues like leaking at the door, draining problems, or fill issues.

Yes, repairing a Kenmore dishwasher like model 58716189402 is usually worth it when the problem is a wear item (leak, drain issue, poor cleaning) and the repair cost is reasonable. If the repair involves major electrical or multiple high-cost parts, replacement often makes more sense.

Quick way we decide: repair vs. replace

• Repair when the dishwasher is cleaning well overall and you’re fixing one clear failure (leak, won’t drain, won’t fill).
• Replace when you have repeated breakdowns, heavy rust, or multiple expensive parts failing at once.
• Repair when the issue is maintenance-related (loading, detergent, water temp, hard water) and not a failed component.
• Replace when the tub is damaged or the unit has chronic leaks that return after seal and hose repairs.

Common repairs that are often worth it on 58716189402

These are typical “high value” fixes because they address common symptoms without replacing the whole dishwasher:

• Door leak: replace the dishwasher door seal 809006501
• Won’t drain or drains slowly: inspect/replace the hose 807117001 or the dishwasher drain pump A00126501
• Won’t fill or fills poorly: check/replace the valve 154637401
• Poor drying: verify Heat Dry use and check the heater 154665201

Cost-to-value checklist

What you’re fixing	Typical impact	Usually worth it?
Leak at door or bottom edge	Prevents floor damage, restores normal use	Yes
Drain or fill problem	Restores cycle completion	Yes
Heating/drying issue	Improves drying and wash performance	Often
Multiple major parts at once	Costs add up quickly	Often no

Why it matters

This dishwasher is designed for years of dependable operation, and many “bad dishwasher” complaints are actually performance factors. The manual calls out basics that strongly affect results, such as 120°F incoming water, proper loading (avoid blocking spray arms), and adequate home water pressure (about 20 to 120 psi). Use the 58716189402 owner’s manual to match symptoms to the “Solutions to common dishwashing problems” section before buying parts.
